description: Thirty-two African American and 23 non-Hispanic White women were compared for experimental pain threshold and tolerance to thermal, ischemic, and cold pressor pain. Approximately half of each group had prior mood disorders (17 African Americans, 13 non-Hispanic Whites), though all were free of current mood disturbance. Women with prior mood disorders were less sensitive to ischemic pain than women with no prior mood disorders (p<.05), while African Americans were more sensitive to ischemic pain than non-Hispanic Whites, though only at pain tolerance (p<.001). For cold pressor pain, the effects of race were only seen in women with prior mood disorders, since African Americans with prior mood disorders were more sensitive than non-Hispanic Whites with prior mood disorders (p<.05). These results indicate that experimental pain sensitivity in women is influenced by both race and histories of mood disorders.

Fashioning Circular Fashion: A Transformative Challenge across the European Fashion System
Creators: name: D’Itria, Erminia
Publisher: name: ZoneModa Journal
Year: 2023

description: Today, we are witnessing a shift in the fashion industry’s production paradigm. The impact of different processes along the supply chain is evident. Consumers have started to turn towards brands that invest in effective organizational strategies and supply chain management models that consider their effect on the planet and respect for people. The circular economy is widely recognized as the main business model addressing the highlighted issues in the fashion industry. However, there still needs to be a gap in the environmental, economic, social, and cultural sustainability levels achieved when this model is implemented. In her Ph.D. research, the author investigated this specific dimension of sustainable development, the implementation of the circular economy model in the fashion system, which can take place through the adoption of systemic and project-based actions involving the entire supply and value chain from workers to companies. Working within the analyzed context, from production to the market, the paper illustrates the identified directions that strategically incorporate design-driven solutions to achieve sustainability goals through practices and processes to establish effective and responsible recycling, remanufacturing, and reuse paths.

description: In patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and temporomandibular disorder (TMD), stress and pain may chronically enhance sympathetic activity, altering cardiovascular responses and worsening pain. This study examined cardiovascular, epinephrine (EPI), norepinephrine (NE), cortisol and clinical pain responses in 54 female patients with these disorders and 34 controls. In a subsample of 10 FMS, 10 TMD patients and 16 controls, using a counterbalanced, double-blind, cross-over design, the same responses were assessed after intravenous administration of low dose propranolol vs. placebo. Testing included baseline, postural, speech and ischemic pain stressors. FMS patients showed lesser heart rate (HR) increases to posture challenge but greater blood pressure (BP) increases to postural and speech tasks than Controls, as well as higher overall BP and greater total vascular resistance (TVR) than TMDs or Controls. TMDs showed higher overall cardiac output and lower TVR than Controls. Both FMS and TMD groups showed lower baseline NE than Controls, and TMDs showed lower overall EPI and NE levels. Group differences in HR, EPI and NE were abolished after propranolol although BP, CO and TVR differences persisted. In both FMS and TMD, number of painful body sites and ratings of total clinical pain obtained 4 times during each session were significantly lower after beta-blockade vs. placebo.

The experimental approach is a novel combination of pulsed optical pumping and time-delayed stimulated emission probing of the excited level. From the measured evolution of the atomic linear polarization degree as a function of probe delay time, we determine the hyperfine coupling constants A = 7.42(6) MHz and B = 0.14(29) MHz.

description: Recently, pre-trained language representation models such as bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) have been performing well in commonsense question answering (CSQA). However, there is a problem that the models do not directly use explicit information of knowledge sources existing outside. To augment this, additional methods such as knowledge-aware graph network (KagNet) and multi-hop graph relation network (MHGRN) have been proposed. In this study, we propose to use the latest pre-trained language model a lite bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (ALBERT) with knowledge graph information extraction technique. We also propose to applying the novel method, schema graph expansion to recent language models. Then, we analyze the effect of applying knowledge graph-based knowledge extraction techniques to recent pre-trained language models and confirm that schema graph expansion is effective in some extent. Furthermore, we show that our proposed model can achieve better performance than existing KagNet and MHGRN models in CommonsenseQA dataset.

description: Using a sample of 299 Ha-selected galaxies at z~0.8, we study the relationship between galaxy stellar mass, gas-phase metallicity, and star formation rate (SFR), and compare to previous results. We use deep optical spectra obtained with the IMACS spectrograph at the Magellan telescope to measure strong oxygen lines. We combine these spectra and metallicities with (1) rest-frame UV-to-optical imaging, which allows us to determine stellar masses and dust attenuation corrections, and (2) Ha narrowband imaging, which provides a robust measure of the instantaneous SFR. Our sample spans stellar masses of 10^9 to 6*10^11 solar masses, SFRs of 0.4 to 270 solar masses per year, and metal abundances of 12+log(O/H)~8.3-9.1 (~0.4-2.6 solar metallicity). The correlations that we find between the Ha-based SFR and stellar mass (i.e., the star-forming "main sequence"), and between the stellar mass and metallicity, are both consistent with previous z~1 studies of star-forming galaxies. We then study the relationship between the three properties using various plane-fitting techniques (Lara-Lopez et al.) and a curve-fitting projection (Mannucci et al.). In all cases, we exclude strong dependence of the M-Z relation on SFR, but are unable to distinguish between moderate and no dependence. Our results are consistent with previous mass-metallicity-SFR studies. We check whether dataset limitations may obscure a strong dependence on the SFR by using mock samples drawn from the SDSS. These experiments reveal that the adopted signal-to-noise cuts may have a significant effect on the measured dependence. Further work is needed to investigate these results, and to test whether a "fundamental metallicity relation" or a "fundamental plane" describes star-forming galaxies across cosmic time.

Emilio Federico Schuberth: Intermediality Practices between Fashion, Cinema and Television
Creators: name: Burato, Dorothea
Publisher: name: ZoneModa Journal
Year: 2023

description: The essay investigates Emilio Federico Schuberth’s work and his relationship with cinema and television. As one of the most important fashion designers of the Made in Italy, protagonist of Roman social life and costume chronicles, Schuberth has been the first to draw the attention of the press and public opinion to the fashion designer, a new protagonist of show business, cinema and culture. During the 1950s Schuberth built a system of “integrated promotion” between fashion, film, press and television: he created his own personal style, he dressed the most famous Italian and international actresses, he opened his atelier to the cinema industry, he played himself in films and participated in television programs. Schuberth understood the communicative importance of the media system and implemented a communication strategy based on intermediality. The essay describes the methodology of the research, the type of archival sources considered and the use of an interdisciplinary approach, which allowed for a greater understanding of one of the most interesting and least studied figures in Italian high fashion.

description: Ambiguous or blunted responses to sensory and painful stimuli among individuals with severe intellectual disabilities and co-morbid communicative impairments put them at risk for having their experience of pain discounted and their expression of pain misinterpreted. Valid measurement procedures of behavioral expression are critical for this vulnerable group of individuals. We investigated a sham-controlled sensory testing protocol as an approach to guard against observer bias during non-verbal behavioral recording for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Participants were 44 (52% male) adults (mean age = 46, sd = 10) with moderate (14%) and severe to profound (86%) intellectual impairment. The facial behavior of the participants before, during, and after five sensory stimulation modalities (pin prick, light touch, deep pressure, cool, warm) was coded by three raters using the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). For each participant, their 5 active sensory trials were randomized with sham trials during which no stimulation was applied. Observers were blinded to active vs. sham stimulation status. FACS scores increased significantly during active sensory trials (p < 0.05) compared with sham trials. There were significant effects for gender with females more expressive than males (p < 0.05). There were also significant effects for the presence of self-injurious behavior (SIB) with individuals with SIB more expressive than individuals without SIB (p < 0.05). The results suggest that the procedure was valid (i.e., distinguished between active vs. sham sensory stimulation) and provides additional evidence that individuals with significant intellectual impairments are sensitive to tactile stimulation consistent with quantitative sensory testing protocols.

Patternmaking as Vehicle for Social Change: A Participatory Practice Research with Diverse Women’s Communities in London
Creators: name: Monteiro, Joana
Publisher: name: ZoneModa Journal
Year: 2023

description: Often criticised for its negative social impacts, fashion can also be a powerful tool to improve people’s lives. Many companies, research and community projects are creating a counter-narrative to the mainstream fashion system by including the voices and practices of marginalised communities. In community-based research, many fashion and textile techniques are used to engage people and foster social change, but there are limited examples of patternmaking being used in a participatory way for this purpose. Patternmaking is commonly considered a technical and uncreative step in the fashion design process. This research however presents patternmaking as a creative practice of fashion design and explores it through the lens of fashion design for social innovation. The aim is to explore how patternmaking and garment making can foster social change within diverse women’s communities in London. The project employs participatory practice research as research strategy and the approach consists in a series of participatory making workshops, that progressively lead the participants to develop their own creative practice. Two series of workshops with women living in a deprived area of London have shown that participating in the workshops has led to skill acquisition, creativity development, community engagement and the improvement of wellbeing and self-confidence.

description: Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek uses quotation and quotability to create a system of discourse founded in the messy ecological processes of consumption, digestion, and decomposition. Dillard quotes heavily from a myriad of sources, creating her narrating self as the processor and digester of a dialogic tangle of citationality. This overwhelming surge of discourse into the self leads to Dillard’s rich transcendence. At the same time as she quotes heavily, she unexpectedly denies easy quotability to her own text. Her prose is captivating but disrupts itself, preventing the reader from excising text out of context. This forces readers into more immersive and digestive meaning making and rejects the traditional Transcendentalist ethic of individualism, domination, and quotability. This process of discourse—of consumption through quotation, and decomposition and reconstruction through the intentional process of meaning-making beyond quotability—is an iterative, brutal, and ecological semiotic system that rejects Emerson’s clean microcosmic semiosis. Dillard's own observations of nature demonstrate this very ecological semiotic system of a tangled food web, with flesh and energy always being torn, eaten, destroyed, and reused. Dillard models a productive and discursive way to achieve transcendence and create meaning.

description: Our objective was to assess predictors of self-reported opioid use among patients with back pain due to lumbar disc herniation or spinal stenosis. Data was from the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT), a multi-site observational study and randomized trial. We examined characteristics shown or hypothesized to be associated with opioid use. Using generalized estimating equations, we modeled associations of each potential predictor with opioid use at 12 and 24 months. At baseline, 42% of participants reported opioid use. Of these participants, 25% reported continued use at 12 months and 21% reported use at 24 months. In adjusted models, smoking (RR=1.9, p<0.001 at 12 months; RR=1.5, p=0.043 at 24 months) and non-surgical treatment (RR=1.7, p<0.001 at 12 months; RR=1.8, p=0.003 at 24 months) predicted long-term opioid continuation. Among participants not using opioids at baseline, incident use was reported by 8% at 12 and 7% at 24 months. We found no significant predictors of incident use at 12 or 24 months in the main models. In conclusion, nonsurgical treatment and smoking independently predicted long-term continued opioid use. To our knowledge, this is the first longitudinal study to assess predictors of long-term and incident opioid use among patients with lumbar spine conditions.

description: An aim of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) initiative is to develop item banks and computerized adaptive tests (CAT) that are applicable across a wide variety of chronic disorders. The PROMIS Pediatric Cooperative Group has concentrated on the development of pediatric self-report item banks for ages 8-17 years. The objective of the present study is to describe the Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis of the NIH PROMIS pediatric pain item bank and the measurement properties of the new unidimensional PROMIS Pediatric Pain Interference Scale. Test forms containing pediatric pain items were completed by a total of 3,048 respondents. IRT analyses regarding scale dimensionality, item local dependence, and differential item functioning were conducted. A pain item pool was developed to yield scores on a T-score scale with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. The recommended 8-item unidimensional short form for the PROMIS Pediatric Pain Interference Scale contains the item set which provides the maximum test information at the mean (50) on the T-score metric. A simulated CAT was computed that provides the most information at five possible score locations (30, 40, 50, 60, and 70 on the T-score metric).

description: We analyzed a statewide survey of individuals with chronic back and neck pain to determine whether prevalence and care use varied by patient race or ethnicity. We conducted a telephone survey of a random sample of 5,357 North Carolina households in 2006. Adults with chronic (>3 months duration or >24 episodes of pain per year), impairing back or neck pain were identified and were asked to complete a survey about their health and care utilization. 837 respondents (620 white, 183 black, 34 Latino) reported chronic back or neck pain. Whites and blacks had similar rates of chronic back pain. Back pain prevalence was lower in Latinos (10.4% [9.3–11.6] vs 6.3% [3.8–8.8] ), likely due to their younger age; and the prevalence of chronic, disabling neck pain was lower in blacks (2.5% [1.9–3.1] vs 1.1% [0.04–1.9]). Blacks had higher pain scores in the previous 3 months (5.2 vs 5.9 p<0.05), and higher Roland disability scores (0–23 point scale): 14.2 vs 16.8, p<0.05. Care seeking was similar among races (83% white, 85% black, 72% Latino). Use of opioids was also similar between races, at 49% for whites, 52% for blacks, and trended lower at 35% for Latinos. We found few racial/ethnic differences in care-seeking, treatment use, and use of narcotics for the treatment of chronic back and neck pain.

description: Individuals with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) suffer from persistent facial pain and exhibit abnormal sensitivity to tactile stimulation. To better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying TMD, we investigated cortical correlates of this abnormal sensitivity to touch. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we recorded cortical responses evoked by low frequency vibration of the index finger in subjects with TMD and in healthy controls (HC). Distinct subregions of contralateral SI, SII, and insular cortex responded maximally for each group. Although the stimulus was inaudible, primary auditory cortex was activated in TMDs. TMDs also showed greater activation bilaterally in anterior cingulate cortex and contralaterally in the amygdala. Differences between TMDs and HCs in responses evoked by innocuous vibrotactile stimulation within SI, SII, and the insula paralleled previously reported differences in responses evoked by noxious and innocuous stimulation, respectively, in healthy individuals. This unexpected result may reflect a disruption of the normal balance between central resources dedicated to processing innocuous and noxious input, manifesting itself as increased readiness of the pain matrix for activation by even innocuous input. Activation of the amygdala in our TMD group could reflect the establishment of aversive associations with tactile stimulation due to the persistence of pain.

La fotonotizia di oggi mostra un’immagine ricca di stelle che appartengono all'ammasso globulare Ngc 6638 ripresa dal telescopio spaziale Hubble di Nasa ed Esa. Distinguere dalla Terra le stelle all'interno dei nuclei degli ammassi globulari è quasi impossibile, a causa delle distorsioni introdotte dall’atmosfera, ma grazie al lavoro di Hubble e alle prossime analisi del James Webb Space Telescope saremo in grado di migliorare la nostra comprensione di questi oggetti

description: Genetic variations in the catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) gene have been associated with experimental pain and risk of chronic pain development, but no studies have examined genetic predictors of neck pain intensity and other patient characteristics after motor vehicle collision (MVC). We evaluated the association between COMT genotype and acute neck pain intensity and other patient characteristics in 89 Caucasian individuals presenting to the emergency department (ED) after MVC. In the ED in the hours after MVC, individuals with a COMT pain vulnerable genotype were more likely to report moderate to severe musculoskeletal neck pain (76% vs. 41%, RR = 2.11 (1.33 - 3.37)), moderate or severe headache (61% vs. 33%, RR = 3.15 (1.05 – 9.42), and moderate or severe dizziness (26% vs. 12%, RR = 1.97 (1.19 – 3.21)). Individuals with a pain vulnerable genotype also experienced more dissociative symptoms in the ED, and estimated a longer time to physical recovery (median 14 vs. 7 days, p = .002) and emotional recovery (median 8.5 vs. 7 days, p = .038). These findings suggest that genetic variations affecting stress response system function influence the somatic and psychological response to MVC, and provide the first evidence of genetic risk for clinical symptoms after MVC.

description: Context. Scattering and absorption processes in stellar atmosphere affect the center-to-limb variations of the intensity (CLVI) and the linear polarization (CLVP) of stellar radiation. Aims. There are several theoretical and observational studies of CLVI using different stellar models, however, most studies of CLVP have concentrated on the solar atmosphere and have not considered the CLVP in cooler non-gray stellar atmospheres at all. In this paper, we present a theoretical study of the CLV of the intensity and the linear polarization in continuum spectra of different spectral type stars. Methods. We solve the radiative transfer equations for polarized light iteratively assuming no magnetic field and considering a plane-parallel model atmospheres and various opacities. Results. We calculate the CLVI and the CLVP for Phoenix stellar model atmospheres for the range of effective temperatures (4500K - 6900K), gravities (log g = 3.0 - 5.0), and wavelengths (4000 - 7000 Å), which are tabulated and available at the Strasbourg astronomical Data Center (CDS). In addition, we present several tests of our code and compare our results with measurements and calculations of CLVI and the CLVP for the Sun. The resulting CLVI are fitted with polynomials and their coefficients are presented in this paper. Conclusions. For the stellar model atmospheres with lower gravity and effective temperature the CLVP is larger.

description: The role of growth hormone (GH) in human fertility is widely debated with some studies demonstrating improvements in oocyte yield, enhanced embryo quality, and in some cases increased live births with concomitant decreases in miscarriage rates. However, the basic biological mechanisms leading to these clinical differences are not well-understood. GH and the closely-related insulin-like growth factor (IGF) promote body growth and development via action on key metabolic organs including the liver, skeletal muscle, and bone. In addition, their expression and that of their complementary receptors have also been detected in various reproductive tissues including the oocyte, granulosa, and testicular cells. Therefore, the GH/IGF axis may directly regulate female and male gamete development, their quality, and ultimately competence for implantation. The ability of GH and IGF to modulate key signal transduction pathways such as the MAP kinase/ERK, Jak/STAT, and the PI3K/Akt pathway along with the subsequent effects on cell division and steroidogenesis indicates that these growth factors are centrally located to alter cell fate during proliferation and survival. In this review, we will explore the function of GH and IGF in regulating normal ovarian and testicular physiology, while also investigating the effects on cell signal transduction pathways with subsequent changes in cell proliferation and steroidogenesis. The aim is to clarify the role of GH in human fertility from a molecular and biochemical point of view.

Sfruttando i potenti strumenti dell’Eso (Vlt con Muse e le antenne Alma in Cile) un gruppo di ricercatori guidati da Michele Ginolfi ha studiato nel dettaglio la galassia W0410, una delle sorgenti più luminose e massive dell’universo. Si tratta di una Hot Dog (Hot Dust-Obscured Galaxy), ossia un oggetto di transizione tra galassie e quasar: una rara popolazione di galassie iperluminose e oscurate da polveri molto più calde del normale. Per questo motivo tali sorgenti sono potenti emettitori nel medio infrarosso, banda nella quale sono state scoperte e selezionate. Lo studio è apparso su Nature Communications
Hamiltonian analysis of spatially covariant gravity

description: We perform the Hamiltonian constraint analysis for a wide class of gravity theories that are invariant under spatial diffeomorphism. With very general setup, we show that different from the general relativity, the primary and secondary constraints associated with the lapse function $N$ become second class, as long as the lapse function $N$ enters the Hamiltonian nonlinearly. This fact implies that there are three degrees of freedom are propagating, of which two correspond to the usual tensor type transverse and traceless gravitons, and one is the scalar type graviton. By restoring the full spacetime diffeomorphism using the Stückelberg trick, this type of spatially covariant gravity theories corresponds to a large class of single field scalar-tensor theories that possess higher order derivatives in the equations of motion, and thus is beyond the scope of the Horndeski theory.

Specific ranges of anti-Mullerian hormone and antral follicle count correlate to provide a prognostic indicator for IVF outcome

description: Advanced female age correlates with reduced ovarian reserve (OR) and is the primary factor underlying the limitation of success rates in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Currently, predicted ovarian response to gonadotrophin stimulation is determined using transvaginal ultrasound to measure antral follicle count (AFC), an indirect measure of OR. However, assessing the level of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) has more recently been shown to correlate with OR, and its application has been adopted widely. This retrospective study was designed to determine the relationship between novel ranges of AMH and AFC in patients undergoing ART. There was a positive correlation between AMH and AFC category (r = 0.458, P < 0.01), with an 87% linear concordance observed for specific AFC ranges and mean serum AMH levels. Both OR markers were inversely correlated with female age (r = −0.428 and r = −0.392, respectively). Pregnancy and live birth rates were influenced by both AMH (P < 0.05) and AFC categories (P < 0.05). Conversely, miscarriage rates appeared to be more dependent on AFC categories (P >0.05), but even more reliant on female age. Finally, the number of oocytes collected was positively correlated with AMH and AFC grading, while oocyte and embryo utilization rates were negatively correlated. Overall, both OR markers were positively and strongly related with each other, and when individual AMH readings were categorised into specific novel ranges, they demonstrated a more robust correlation with AFC groupings. Taken together, applying patient AMH within specific ranges may lead to a better estimation of OR and IVF outcomes.
