Discourse surrounding Taiwan itself centers on its independence or unification with China. In media and popular consciousness, Taiwan’s preference for independence or unification is attributed to a difference in national identities—“Chinese” or “Taiwanese.” This reductive view masks the unique ways in which individuals in Taiwan construct their national identities, particularly given the lack of agreed definitions for basic terminology such as “Taiwan” or “Taiwanese.” Yet, qualitative data shows that national identity has little practical relevance in society, as the general consensus is that peacekeeping via maintenance of the status quo is the only current logical course of action. Despite proof of the population’s pragmatic indifference towards national identity, Taiwan’s primary political parties, the Kuomintang (KMT) and Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) persist in upholding the reductive symbolic national identity as the representative issue in Taiwanese politics, overshadowing even uncontroversial questions of economic reform. In contrast, the recently-formed Taiwan People’s Party and their leader, Ke Wen-zhe, claim to offer a way out of this dichotomy, actively criticizing the KMT and DPP’s political theater. Indeed, most acknowledge the unproductively divisive power of symbolic national identity, and perceive economic questions to be the most urgent to address. Then, the unprecedentedly high level of youth support for Ke Wen-zhe, a first-time third-party candidate, in the 2024 presidential elections may be one visible manifestation of societal frustration towards the roadblock of national identity to social, economic, and political progress.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Deepfakes, created using machine learning algorithms like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), generate hyper-realistic yet entirely fabricated digital content. These deepfakes have complicated the already intricate landscape of IP protection—particularly on social media platforms—where misinformation, fraud, and privacy violations are growing concerns. As these technologies evolve and become more accessible, distinguishing between genuine and manipulated media has become increasingly difficult. This paper examines the impact of deepfakes on IP and trademark enforcement, highlighting the shortcomings of current legal frameworks and enforcement mechanisms. It reviews federal and state legislative efforts and assesses the role of technology corporations in detecting and preventing deepfake content. Despite some progress, existing measures remain insufficient to address the rapidly advancing capabilities of deepfakes. To mitigate these challenges, the paper proposes a comprehensive approach that includes expanding legislative frameworks, enhancing judicial training, and investing in advanced detection technologies. It also emphasizes the importance of public awareness campaigns and the need for tech companies to enforce strict policies against deepfake misuse. By fostering collaboration among governments, legal systems, and the tech industry, a robust framework can be established to protect creators’ rights, uphold digital media integrity, and maintain public trust in the face of these evolving threats.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Among the various programming languages in the field of data science, R stands out as a powerful tool capable of implementing a diverse range of statistical and graphical techniques. Unfortunately, in general education, lots of non-computing majors do not take a typical programming course due to their fear of the command line. A web app Rstats (http://esumath.shinyapps.io/rstats) was developed to promote students’ interest in R programming while learning introductory statistics, irrespective of their coding background. The web app provides a user-friendly point-and-click interface for data analysis, allowing students to explore statistical concepts without having to write code directly. But reproducible R code for the data analysis will be generated and displayed in the web app. Thus students can learn the programming language R during data analysis with the web app. By removing the intimidation associated with coding features, the web app aims to engage a broader audience in the realm of data and information. Source code of the app is provided for instructors who wish to deploy the web app to their own server. The features of the web app are described in detail and how the web app was applied to a GE statistical data analysis is discussed. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Early recognition of this malignancy is critical, as it typically responds well to prompt and intensive treatment. In this case report, we present a rare manifestation of Burkitt lymphoma presenting as an oropharyngeal mass.</p>\n<p><strong>Case Report</strong>: An eight-year-old male presented with tonsillar swelling and new-onset oral bleeding. A month earlier, he had been seen in the emergency department (ED) for similar swelling following a streptococcal infection. At that time, a needle aspiration for suspected peritonsillar abscess yielded no drainage, and he was treated with a week of clindamycin, resulting in brief symptom improvement. He subsequently developed difficulty breathing, a muffled voice, and oral bleeding, prompting a return to the ED. On evaluation, he was afebrile, well-appearing, and in no respiratory distress. Examination revealed significant left tonsillar swelling with uvular deviation but no active bleeding. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a bulky left oropharyngeal mass<br>with airway narrowing, raising suspicion for lymphoma. Laboratory results were unremarkable, and biopsy confirmed Burkitt lymphoma based on c-MYC positivity and the characteristic “starry sky” appearance, leading to the initiation of chemotherapy.</p>\n<p><strong>Discussion</strong>: Burkitt lymphoma is a high-grade lymphoma with a large tumor burden and, thus, high risk for tumor lysis syndrome. Fortunately, Burkitt lymphoma has superior survival outcomes in pediatrics with a two-year survival rate estimated to be 89% and requiring minimal cycles of chemotherapy. This case underscores the diverse presentations of Burkitt lymphoma and the importance of including it in the differential for all pediatric neck masses, regardless of demographics.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

In all sentence types, both L1 and L2 listeners looked at the referent of the post-verbal argument earlier when the verb was semantically constraining than when it was not. Predictive looks were slower overall in the L2 group, but not attenuated in syntactic configurations absent from their L1, namely, adverb-first verb-second (AdvVS(O)) sentences. Both groups were more likely to fixate plausible subjects than objects on hearing a transitive verb following a sentence-initial adverb, suggesting that prediction of an upcoming argument was constrained not only by semantic association with the verb, but also by the syntactic and thematic structure of the unfolding sentence.

Using RNA-sequencing, [1] [2] we analyzed blood samples from 15 healthy individuals at sea level and during 3 days of high-altitude hypoxia (3800 m). We identified significant changes in histone-modifying enzyme gene expression, including decreased HDAC1 (HA1: -0.29; HA3: -0.46, p<0.001) and HDAC3 (HA1: -0.34; HA3: -0.48, p<0.001), and increased KDM3A (HA1: 0.28; HA3: 0.12) and SIRT1 (HA1: 0.43; HA3: 0.27). In addition, we cultured peripheral immune cells in hypoxia (1% O2) and identified increased levels of the histone modifications H3K9me3, H3K36me3, H3K79me3, and H3K2me3. These findings suggest histone modifications are significantly altered by hypoxic cell stress and may play a critical role in rapid cellular adaptation to oxygen limitation. Future work will map genomic locations of these modifications to uncover mechanisms driving cellular and physiological responses to hypoxic stress.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

This gap may impede further improvements in rearing operations and overall production. To address this, we tested BSF adults using a Y-tube olfactometer—a robust assay for olfaction—to evaluate the olfactory preferences of adult BSF. We compared the response rate of adult BSF to a known attractant and a negative control. Our experimental setup involves varied light conditions ranging from no light, fluorescent lamps, and a custom-made UV full spectrum light to simulate outdoor conditions. Our preliminary results suggest that BSF adults exhibit a higher response to the known attractant under full spectrum light, suggesting that specific lighting conditions enhance responsiveness to olfactory cues. These insights imply that light may play a crucial role in key behaviors such as oviposition, mating, and attraction. By better understanding these processes, we can refine BSF rearing techniques, which could lead to advancements in the waste recycling industry.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Los Angeles became a participant of the program, particularly its eastern neighborhoods that contained a significant Latinx/Hispanic population. However, the efforts to improve East Los Angeles’s Latinx neighborhoods failed due to the poor organization and lack of centralization in leadership.

My research intends to explore the progression of the Model Cities Program in East Los Angeles in the years 1969 to 1973. In particular, I will analyze the consequences of its flawed organization and local community members' perception of the program’s failure. I draw on media publications and city records ranging from the period. These sources reveal how the program gradually shifted away from productive planning and became ineffective; this prompted community criticism. I argue that the issues of Los Angeles’s Model City Program encouraged local Latinx communities throughout the city’s eastern neighborhoods to reconsider their relationships with institutional organizations.

Understanding adult behavior is valuable because it could improve adult mating and egg laying in rearing operations, ultimately leading to increased BSF production and more waste recycling. In this study, we tested whether addition of an attractive compound (indole) to an egg laying substrate would increase adult fly oviposition. We used a cage assay to measure BSF oviposition and landing rates when nearby indole. We documented the frequency that the BSF landed on wooden cutouts treated with indole and weighed the eggs left in those cutouts. Analysis of the results revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in BSF landing rates between indole-associated and control cutouts. However, BSF females laid significantly more eggs in indole-associated cutouts compared to control cutouts. These findings suggest that indole addition to the oviposition area does not increase the number of flies visiting, but does increase the number of eggs laid by flies that do visit the site.

Émile Zola’s 1883 novel Au Bonheur des Dames focuses on key themes about capitalism, the mistreatment of lower class workers, and the inherent sexism women faced in nineteenth-century France. By focusing on the new modes of retail shopping that emerged in the late 1800s, Zola presents problems created by a consumer-focused society. The introduction of women into the job market established more boundaries for them to overcome, as women were no longer just competing with men in the workplace, but were also directly competing with each other due to low base salaries and commission-based bonuses. However, a theme that has not been analyzed by scholars of Zola is the prominence of surveillance as a theme in the novel. Department store owners crafted brand-new advertising campaigns specifically targeting women. The use of male workers as a way to deter shoplifting, and the avoidance of police intervention when faced with thefts presented a new argument: that women are exploited not only for their labor but also for their money as consumers. This analysis shows that the development of modern commerce and capitalism furthered the harm that women faced as both workers and consumers.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Participants felt for a unique target amongst uniformed distractors with their left hand only, right hand only, and with both hands simultaneously.

Simultaneous bimanual search showed significantly more efficient search than the sequential unimanual search. Surprisingly, there was no appreciable difference between performance when searching for targets with the same and different features. This suggests that the advantage of searching bimanually isn’t due to sensory redundancy or perceptual advantages from shared features.

Using synthetic biology techniques, we reconstituted the SUMOylation cascade in bacterial cells, aiding future research to be more efficient. We determine the activities of the SUMOylation enzymes expressed in the polycistronic SUMO construct using the quantitative FRET assay developed in our lab for CyPet-SUMO1 conjugation to substrate YPet fused-influenza A virus (IAV) M1 protein. In this project, we screened the CyPet protein expression of Polycistronic SUMO in 13 E.Coli strains to determine optimal bacteria for the assay. From the best performing strain, BL21 (DE3) PlysS, we performed double transformation of PolycistronicSUMO and IAV M1 constructs into bacterial cell culture for FRET-based SUMOylation conjugation assay. We also applied this system for SUMOylation inhibitor testing. In summary, using qFRET technology, we developed a novel synthetic biology approach for the SUMOylation cascade in bacterial cells.

This study examines this historical misrepresentation through cinematic portrayals of Indigenous Americans, and the reemerging accessibility of these portrayals through conversations with Large Language Models (LLMs) and related forms of layman’s historical research. Fifty-two progressive Western films were compiled by prompting OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and AI Studio, in addition to scraping the top Wikipedia results on Google’s search engine. These films were then analyzed on various aspects of positive and negative representation (and nonrepresentation). Through this analysis, the inadequacies of LLM’s in understanding historical and cultural ethics as they pertain to modern sensibilities is illuminated. By evaluating critical dimensions in casting practices, trope prevalence, and narrative framing in the selected films, an image of a continuing and evolving cultural genocide emerges. The findings suggest that the integration of LLMs in research practices only exacerbates the spread of misinformation, undermining efforts by Indigenous academics and filmmakers to challenge reductive stereotypes. This research advocates for enhanced digital literacy and critical engagement with AI-driven tools to mitigate their detrimental effects on historical understanding and cultural representation, contributing to a broader discourse on the ethical implications of AI and its role in the preservation and dissemination of marginalized histories.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

This study examined 250 parent-child dyads to investigate the impact of three forms of parental praise (i.e., process, person, and ambiguous) received at age 4 on children’s later problem-solving persistence at age 8. We hypothesized that process praise, highlighting child effort, would foster persistence, whereas person praise, emphasizing child characteristics, would undermine child persistence. Independent coders rated child-directed praise across a series of challenging parent-child tasks during a laboratory assessment at age 4. Children’s problem-solving persistence was assessed by separate sets of coders during these same tasks at age 4 and a set of similar parent-child interaction tasks at age 8. A linear regression analysis, which controlled for child sex, ethnicity, poverty, child IQ, total parental utterances, and prior persistence, revealed significant positive contributions of process praise and ambiguous praise to children's problem-solving persistence. In contrast, person praise predicted decreased persistence at age 8. These results reveal the nuanced effects of different parental praise types on children's ability to persist during challenging tasks. Future studies will test mediation models to examine how parental praise might influence long-term adaptation through child persistence. The current findings can inform parenting practices and early childhood interventions by emphasizing the importance of effort-based praise in fostering problem-solving persistence in children. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The wedding dresses varied in neckline (i.e., Sweetheart, V-Neck, Halter, High Neck) and silhouette (i.e., A-line, Mermaid, Fit and Flare, Ballgown). We found significant, reliable differences in how participants perceived the models as a function of dress silhouette and neckline. Specifically, participants perceived the models wearing the Fit and Flare silhouette to be especially confident, original, fun, and vain, but the models wearing the A-line silhouette to be the least confident, original, and fun. Furthermore, participants perceived the models wearing the V-neck neckline to be especially confident and vain, but the models wearing the High Neck to be the least confident, original, and fun. Additionally, the participants perceived the models wearing the Sweetheart neckline to be especially original, and fun, and the models wearing the Halter neckline especially confident. It is important to note that the Halter, High Neck, and Sweetheart all scored the same in the vain category.

Trump's campaign leveraged this lexicon, appealing to young white male voters through associations with figures like Elon Musk and media personalities such as Joe Rogan. The emergence of \"Dark Maga,\" a more extreme iteration of the MAGA movement, can be analyzed as a deeper radicalization of the movement, incorporating elements of the Neoreactionary (NrX) movement as well as building on the Alt-Right's ashes.

The essay traces some of the history of the idea of American exceptionalism, paying particular attention to how it has been deployed in American political rhetoric over the past twenty years or so. During Trump’s first presidential campaign, some observers noted that Trump was the only major political figure who did not embrace the idea of American exceptionalism, noting that then-President Barack Obama, as well as Trump’s fellow Republican presidential candidates, all asserted the special nature of the United States. This essay argues that such perceptions were a misreading of Trump’s rhetoric and beliefs, an argument supported by Trump’s later embrace of American exceptionalism. The essay further argues that the rise of Trump, when viewed alongside a global retreat from the values of liberal democracy, reveals that there is nothing special, unique, or exceptional about the United States.</p>\n<p> </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

While history is generally considered to progress in a linear fashion, such a wave seemingly validates a circular model of history, if only given the evident parallelism between our times and the first half of the preceding century. Analysts such as Ray Dalio go even further, arguing that the present cycle, characterized by the United States’s predominance in the world order, is drawing to a close, predictively giving way to China’s imminent relay as the leading power. However, regardless of whether we are experiencing the culmination of a geopolitical cycle or simply reiterating the early decades of the twentieth century, a new element is characterizing today’s rise of the far right. The limelight presence of tech billionaires at President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration and their multimillion dollar investments in the Republican campaign evince a different kind of relationship between governments and corporations. While the confluence of politics and private interests is by no means new, the blatant barefacedness of this relationship is somewhat unprecedented, revealing an unashamed move to oligarchy. What is more, an added and more preoccupying novelty is the United States’s apparent shift from libertarianism to authoritarianism. Economist Yanis Varoufakis goes as far as to argue that capitalism itself is experiencing a radical transformation, through the mutation of capital into what he terms “cloud capital.” The result of these discrepancies is unfortunately not a transcending of the cycle, but the alleged demise of capitalism in favour of a return to a new kind of (\"techno-\")feudalism. This article scrutinizes the current sociopolitical situation in order to consider whether we are in fact trapped in an unending and unavoidable cycle of growth and decay, or if there are ways to break away from it.</p>\n<p> </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

This analysis attempts to provide some context to help answer these questions, and aims to provide a more generous critique of all the moving parts at play, straying away from the bipartisan rhetoric that trips up so many due to the very bipolar nature of American politics.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

In conclusion, the essay briefly reads Gustavo Petro’s conspicuous invocations of <em>One Hundred Years of Solitude</em> as a cautionary tale for opponents of the MAGA movement not to simply imitate the far right’s deliberate strategies of conflation. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Within the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-designated “Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE)” areas, ED-based HIV screening is low. This case series highlights successful strategies for notification and linkage to care of patients with various challenging social determinates of health (SDoH). The goal is to inspire more EDs to offer universal HIV screening by providing insight into these challenging SDoH and successful strategies to overcome them.</p>\n<p><strong>Case Series: </strong>We describe four cases, two from a site in upstate South Carolina and two from Cuyahoga County in Ohio, that highlight successful notification and linkage to care of these perceived “worst-case” scenarios. Both ED-based programs are located in CDC-designated EHE<br>areas. We discuss ED screening opportunities and successful linkage for these minority patients (21-36 years of age), and highlight the concomitant and challenging mental health and substance use disorders, and SDoH that were overcome. All four of these patients are currently receiving treatment for HIV and 3 of the 4 have reached viral suppression.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Despite challenging SDoH including unstable housing and lack of transportation, phone, and even legal identification documentation, these ED-identified patients with HIV were successfully notified of their disease status and linked to care. The patient navigators used perseverance, connections to local community resources, and leveraged family support toachieve linkage success. The cases serve as both a roadmap and source of inspiration to other EDs in priority EHE areas to begin ED HIV screening programs.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Previous research has shown that certain characteristics of public space, such as greenery and places to gather, provide community building and well-being benefits for students. These spaces may function as “third places” for students, a place to gather outside of home and work, and facilitate the place attachment process, the formation of deep and positive bonds between people and place. This project uses photovoice, a participatory research method, to understand the roles and meanings public open space has for some students at the the University of California San Diego (UCSD). After discussing their selected public open space with 10 students at UCSD, elements which promote place attachment was revealed, including: positive emotions, natural elements, social elements, and logistical elements. For students at UCSD, different spaces serve different functions, ranging from quiet, restorative spaces to popular, park-like spaces. Students highly value greenery in public open space and seem to expect greenery in the form of open lawns, typified by Sungod Lawn. Furthermore, although public open spaces at UCSD do not seem to be “third places”, they still play a crucial role in the lives of students providing meaningful spaces for students to destress and relax. Students showed attachment to these spaces, revealing deep bonds with the places they selected. Public open space on campus should not be evaluated simply by the number of students who use them. Smaller and quieter spaces hold deep meaning for students and contribute important mental health benefits. A variety of thoughtfully planned spaces should be included on college campuses to meet the diverse and varied needs of students. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

For young adults who are susceptible to facing various obstacles that impact their mental well-being, it is important to examine the cultural factors that contribute to the stigma surrounding this topic. Delving into the behaviors and perceptions of South Asian college students in the United States uncovers the multitude of intertwined influences that impact the development of one’s mental health. This study aims to answer the question, “What are the behaviors and perceptions surrounding mental health for UC San Diego students who are South Asian?” An online survey was implemented to collect data from 148 South Asian students at UC San Diego, introducing a mixed-method design to draw findings. The results revealed that mental well-being is significantly shaped by the interaction of sociocultural factors, such as family dynamics and pressures, experiences of stereotyping, comfortability with discussing mental health, and expectations surrounding sexuality and gender identity. These findings bring awareness to the significant stigma surrounding mental health topics in South Asian culture and reflect the interventions needed to destigmatize this topic. This study sheds light on the cultural stigma that this community faces, presenting the critical need for strategies to create safe environments for South Asian young adults to express their mental well-being.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "All rights reserved", "short_name": "Copyright", "text": "© the author(s).

History also revealed amenorrhea for the past nine months, menorrhagia three days ago, and oral contraceptive use. Her vitals demonstrated tachycardia to 130s beats per minute but otherwise were normal, consistent with an early stage of hemorrhagic shock. Physical exam was remarkable for significant left labia majora hematoma with active hemorrhage on computed tomography from the right internal iliac artery. She underwent emergent gelfoam embolization with interventional radiology and subsequent hematoma evacuation with an obstetrician gynecologist. </p>\n<p><strong>Discussion</strong>: Etiologies of vulvar hematomas fall within two categories: obstetric or non-obstetric. In rare circumstances, hematomas that lack evidence of obstetric or traumatic events are presumed to be of spontaneous artery rupture origin. Vulvar hematomas are a clinical diagnosis but can be challenging. The hallmark symptom is moderate to severe pain that is usually in the perineum but can be in the groin, abdominal and/or buttock regions depending on the size and location of the hematoma. A proper history and physical exam are essential to rule out the differential diagnoses such as vulvar varicosities, folliculitis, Bartholin gland cysts/abscesses or vulvar cancer. Management of vulvar hematomas is not well defined. Ultimately, clinical decision should be based on degree of hemodynamic stability, size of the hematoma, rate of expansion, risk or presence of pressure necrosis, urologic symptoms and presence of unremitting pain. To date, there are three reported spontaneous vulvar hematomas due to pudendal artery rupture and one due to internal iliac artery rupture. To the best of our knowledge, our case represents the second reported account of non-obstetric, non-traumatic spontaneous vulvar hematoma due to internal iliac artery rupture and the first reported account where the resulting hematoma was contralateral to the affected artery. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

It therefore should have been selected for in the course of evolution. Although fear conditioning has been demonstrated in many different species, it had only been shown in one reptile group, lizards, prior to this study. We developed a paradigm to study fear conditioning in painted turtles (Chrysemys picta). In each of two experiments, there were three groups: an Experimental group in which a red light (the conditioned stimulus, or CS) was paired with a footshock (the unconditioned stimulus, or US), an Unpaired control group given unpaired presentations of the red light and footshock, and a CS Only control group presented with the red light only. The experiments differed in the number of days of training: In Experiment 1, the animals were trained for 9 days and were then run on extinction for 6 days. The results appeared to show that turtles in the Experimental group learned to stop moving when the red light came on, but this was not statistically significant. There were significant group differences during extinction, however. It appeared that the behavior was not asymptotic during acquisition, so we ran a second, longer experiment (Experiment 2) for 15 days of acquisition training and 8 or 9 days of extinction. In this experiment, the Experimental group learned to stop moving during the CS during acquisition and reversed that behavior in extinction. These results demonstrate that classical conditioning with footshock is a suitable method for studying fear learning in turtles. Further, they shed light on the evolution of fear behavior. Turtles are closely related to the stem amniotes that gave rise to both mammals and reptiles. Thus, the results demonstrate that fear conditioning is present in turtles and suggest that it was present in the stem amniote ancestors of mammals as well. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Frequent ED utilization has been associated with mental health disorders. However, the association between social determinants of health (SDoH) and frequent ED use is not as well understood. Our objective was to identify associations between frequent ED use and mental health disorders and SDoH among patients visiting 19 Upper Midwest EDs in an integrated health system. </p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of adult patients presenting to the 19 EDs from July 1, 2020–June 30, 2021. Using odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals obtained from multivariable logistic regression models, we characterized associations between mental health disorders (based on ICD-10 groupings) and 10 SDoH with frequent ED utilization (defined as ≥6 ED visits per year). </p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 228,814 visits among 134,452 patients were eligible for inclusion. After accounting for clinical features and mental health risk factors, the following had the strongest association with frequent ED use: unmet transportation needs (OR 1.73); high risk for financial resources (OR 1.52); food insecurity (OR 1.58); smoking tobacco (OR 1.31); and physical inactivity (OR 1.23). The top mental health risk factors for frequent ED utilization were adult personality and behavioral disorders (OR 4.0) and anxiety, stress and non-psychotic disorders (OR 3.35). </p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> We found strong associations between mental illness and SDoH and frequent ED use. The strongest SDoH risk factors included unmet transportation needs, financial resource risk, and food insecurity. The top two mental health risk factors were adult personality and behavioral disorders as well as anxiety and stress disorders, with differences that persisted when analyzed independently as well as when adjusting for other mental health risk factors.

We measured multiple psychological tests in OUD patients who entered an emergency department (ED)-based medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) program to determine whether any test correlated with six-month retention in the MOUD treatment program. </p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> Patients with OUD who were enrolled in an ED-based MOUD program over a 12-month period were eligible to participate. We surveyed enrollees using nine validated tools to assess depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress within 24 hours of their ED presentation and then at one and six months. The primary outcome was program retention rates at one and six months. Secondary outcomes were levels of clinical symptoms, substance use, and quality of life. </p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> Of 143 patients enrolled in the MOUD program, 64 (44.8%) participated during the 12-month study. The mean age was 33 years, with 65% male and 35% female. Baseline surveys indicated moderate symptom severity for depression and anxiety. The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5) scores showed significant traumatic stress. Retention rates were 47% at one month and 25% at six months. General well-being improved from 40% at baseline to 56% at six months. Average income correlated (0.51) with six-month retention, suggesting that those with financial means were more likely to remain in treatment. The Life Events Checklist (LEC-5) correlated (0.41) with six-month retention. This indicates that the more trauma an individual experienced, the less likely the person would remain in treatment. </p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Higher income and lower post-traumatic stress disorder scores had higher retention rates in a medication-based opioid use disorder program.

The cases were categorized into real strokes or stroke mimics based on patients’ discharge diagnoses. </p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> Stroke code activation was implemented on 584 patients during the study period. These patients received full service and a final discharge diagnosis. Of these, 349 (59.8%) received a diagnosis of a true stroke, whether ischemic, hemorrhagic, or transient ischemic attack. The remaining 235 (40.2%) were classified as stroke mimics, with functional (12.8%) and medical (87.2%) etiologies. Medical stroke mimics were further categorized into non-cerebrovascular neurologic (59.5%), infection or allergic reaction (17.1%), cardiovascular (11.7%), metabolic or drug-induced (8.3%), and other (3.4%). Factors found to favor stroke mimics were history of neurological (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 4.98; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.89 - 8.57) or psychiatric disorders (aOR 2.88; 95% CI 1.29 - 6.41) and patients presenting with altered mental status (aOR 1.70; 95% CI 1.04 - 2.80) or generalized weakness (aOR 2.38; 95% CI1.12 - 5.03). Conversely, factors that favored true strokes (with OR <1 for mimics), were patients aged >65 years (aOR 0.61; 95% CI 0.38-0.96), history of hypertension (aOR 0.61; 95% CI 0.38 - 0.97) or atrial fibrillation (aOR 0.39; 95% CI 0.21 - 0.72), and presenting with speech disturbance (aOR 0.56; 95% CI 0.37-0.83) or extremity weakness (aOR: 0.22; 95% CI 0.15- 0.38).</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Approximately 40% of cases presenting to our ED with stroke code activation were found to be mimics.

In this study we identify factors associated with performance variation among rural EMS agencies in first medical contact-to-PCI time. </p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> In this explanatory, sequential, mixed-methods study, we ranked eight rural county EMS agencies by continuous first medical contact-to-PCI time, accounting for loaded mileage, using data from a regional STEMI registry (2016–2019). A qualitative researcher conducted 28, one-hour, semi-structured interviews from January– March 2021 with the EMS director, training officer, medical director, and four paramedics at the top two high- and bottom two low-performing rural EMS agencies. Key informants were blinded to agency STEMI performance. Interviews were structured to identify positive deviance by exploring agencies’ clinical approach to patients with chest pain, their organizational culture, structure, and quality improvement (QI) activities regarding STEMI care, and recommendations for improving STEMI performance. Interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed verbatim by a professional transcription service. We established a codebook and performed a thematic analysis using an inductive approach. We summarized and compared data across agencies to identify commonalities and differences between high- and low-performing agencies. Findings were reviewed and validated by an expert panel. </p>\n<p><strong>Results: </strong>The top two highest-performing EMS agencies had a median first medical contact-to-PCI time of 79 minutes (interquartile range [IQR] 65-91) minutes vs 98 minutes (IQR 82-120) among the bottom two lowest-performing agencies, P<.001. Both high- and low-performing agencies identified issues with electrocardiogram (ECG) transmitting technology and cumbersome hospital activation communications. However, top-performing agencies shared a culture that encourages early EMS activation of the cardiac catheterization lab after STEMI recognition. Top-performing agencies also placed a higher value on QI and training. These agencies prioritized mission and chain of command over staff relationships/interpersonal bonds; have stable, strong leadership; provide opportunities for career advancement; and collaborate with community leaders. </p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Top-performing rural EMS agencies for STEMI care promote early activation, have a strong chain of command, are mission focused, and have a greater focus on quality improvement and training.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

In this study we examined the acceptability and feasibility of using a method called “experience sampling” to explore factors important to clinician experience in emergency departments (ED). Experience sampling enables the measuring of work experience in real time, with more granular detail than in usual burnout surveys. The approach may reveal new opportunities for improving work experience in emergency medicine at a critical time.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods: </strong>We conducted this pilot study in a large, urban, academic, quaternary care ED. Iterative multidisciplinary focus groups were used to generate a brief, experience-sampling tool that was comprised of three different surveys to assess emergency clinician experience before, during, and after shifts. These were deployed using a smartphone application to a convenience sample of 11 clinicians (three attending physicians, two residents, five physician assistants, and one registered nurse) during four shifts each. A post-pilot survey was also sent to all participants to evaluate their experience of using the tool. Our primary outcome measures were feasibility, assessed by the survey response rates during the pilot, and acceptability, assessed by participant sentiment as expressed in the post-pilot surveys. Secondary outcomes were quantitative- and qualitative- experience data collected using the tool.</p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> The overall response rates for pre-shift, on-shift, and post-shift surveys were 79%, 73%, and 91%, respectively. All participants responded to the post-pilot survey and indicated they would be willing to use the experience-sampling tool again in the future. Many participants noted that the simple and open-ended on-shift questions were relatively easy to complete; some also said on-shift survey questions could present added difficulty during busy shifts. Four participants said the exercise of completing surveys itself improved on-shift experience by prompting reflection. Common themes associated with positive experiences included manageable patient volumes, excellent teamwork, interesting cases, adequate staffing, and feeling able to provide adequate care. Common themes associated with negative experiences included crowding, inadequate staffing, feeling overwhelmed, complex patient cases, difficult disposition plans, and feeling unable to provide adequate care.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Experience sampling is an acceptable and feasible method for measuring clinician experience in a busy academic ED. Further studies could potentially use this approach to identify targets for reducing burnout in emergency medicine. </p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Part of this spectrum of presentations is self-directed violence. Self-directed violence involves suicidal acts and non-suicidal self-injuries that can result in serious morbidity and mortality. This study examines characteristics and outcomes of patients who presented to US trauma centers with self-inflicted injuries and identifies factors associated with survival to hospital discharge in this patient population.</p>\n<p><strong>Methods:</strong> We extracted data in a retrospective, observational manner from the 2020 National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) 2020. The NTDB includes data from over 900 trauma centers (900/2,294 total trauma centers in the United States, 39.2%). We performed a descriptive analysis of characteristics, injury patterns and outcomes. All variables were tabulated by outcome (died: yes/no). We then conducted a multivariable logistic regression using a stepwise technique to identify factors associated with the patients’ survival to hospital discharge.</p>\n<p><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 12,824 patients with self-inflicted injuries were included in this analysis. Their median age was 35 years (interquartile range 25-50), and they were mostly males (74.7%) and White (69.6%). Patients were mostly transported by ground ambulance (78.9%) to Level I (60.6%) and Level II (33.5%) trauma centers. Most patients had a pre-existing condition (70.2%). These included mental/personality disorder (48.2%), alcohol use disorder (11.5%), and substance use disorder (17.7%). The most common mechanism of injury was penetrating trauma (71.6%), followed by blunt trauma (18.0%) and burns (1%). Cutting/piercing was the most common penetrating mechanism (60%) compared with firearm-related trauma (40%). Severe injury (Injury Severity Score ≥ 16) was present in 32.8% of patients. A positive alcohol screen and/or a positive drug screen were reported in 30.2% and 31.2% of patients, respectively. Most patients were admitted to hospital (86%). Overall mortality rate at hospital discharge was 21.7%. We identified Important factors associated with survival to hospital discharge in this patient population.</p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Patients with self-inflicted injuries treated at US trauma centers have high rates of injury severity and a high mortality rate.

However, studies have not focused on these teachers as language learners themselves or considered how the ecology of L1 English Speaking Teachers (ESTs) workplaces may afford or constrain their access to speaking opportunities within the various communities of practice they participate in. This study attempts to fill that gap by examining the experiences of L1 ESTs in Japan and Korea to determine the roles that the workplace and co-workers play in the development of these teachers’ competence in Korean and Japanese. Quantitative survey data were collected from 40 L1 ESTs based in Korea and Japan, and qualitative interviews were conducted with a subset of 15 volunteers from the larger data set. Results show that various stakeholders such as co-workers and students as well as the physical environment serve as gatekeepers to the L1 ESTs’ legitimate peripheral participation as Japanese and Korean speakers in their workplaces.

However, data is often scarce for difficult-to-study ecosystems, such as caves and other subterranean environments. Here, we present a taxonomically and geographically consistent database of subterranean spiders from the Italian Western Alps, a coherent biogeographical region with a long history of subterranean fauna diversification. The database (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.28524383.v1) comprises 370 geo-referenced subterranean sites (caves, mines, and other artificial subterranean systems). For each site, we provide information on the composition of the spider community (with species richness ranging from 1 to 8 species per site), along with local geomorphological and site features. Collectively, these communities account for 31 unique species and 945 unique geo-referenced occurrence records, which are made available via the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF: https://www.gbif.org/dataset/72eef995-01bd-44f2-937a-23dbfe66283d) In addition to the database, we provide a phylogeny for all species based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene fragment. This, combined with the interoperability of the European subterranean spider trait database (doi: 10.6084/m9.figshare.16574255.v2), enables the estimation of taxonomic, functional, and genetic diversity within these subterranean communities. We illustrate the utility of this database by estimating and mapping taxonomic, functional, and genetic richness across the Western Italian Alps, providing a comprehensive multi-dimensional view of subterranean spider biodiversity. Although restricted in geographical scope, we envision this database as a promising open resource for eco-evolutionary research and hope the broader scientific community will widely use it. Indeed, the joint availability of distribution data, traits, and phylogenetic information allows quantifying ecologically relevant differences among species, identifying functionally unique taxa, and assessing patterns of adaptation and specialization in subterranean environments, among many other questions.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The BBY bijections and the Bernardi bijections are two important examples. In this paper, we construct a new family of such bijections that includes both. Our bijections depend on a pair of atlases (different from the ones in manifold theory) that abstract and generalize certain common features of the two known bijections. The definitions of these atlases are derived from triangulations and dissections of the Lawrence polytopes associated to \\(G\\). The acyclic cycle signatures and cocycle signatures used to define the BBY bijections correspond to regular triangulations. Our bijections can extend to subgraph-orientation correspondences.
