    Abstract Chronic pain in children is a relatively prevalent cause of functional disability. Contributing factors to this pain are best viewed through the biopsychosocial model. Although evidence is lacking for individual aspects of treatment, interdisciplinary care is considered the best treatment approach for children with chronic pain. Interdisciplinary care can include medication management with daily and as-needed medications, physical and occupational therapy focusing on function and movement, and psychological treatment with cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance focused treatment. In children with severe pain and disability, intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment may be needed to improve pain and function.

    Abstract Performance support teams are increasingly comprised of sub-disciplines, bringing varied expertise to support an athlete or team in achieving the desired result. With more voices in the room, however, there is a need to investigate how these individuals can effectively work together collaboratively. Accordingly, the present study reviewed empirical articles that have examined interdisciplinary practice in performance sport. In total, 22 articles met the full inclusion criteria. We discuss the four key themes that emerged from the literature linked to these contexts: namely,

    Abstract Background: The 56km Two Oceans ultra-marathon (TOM), in Cape Town, South Africa, was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since most other road running events were also cancelled during this period, we hypothesized that most athletes who entered TOM 2022 would be inadequately trained, which would negatively affect performance. However, many world records were broken post-lockdown, and therefore the performance, specifically of the elite athletes, during TOM might actually improve. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on performance in TOM 2022 compared to the 2018 event.
    Methods: Performance data during the two events, as well as the 2021 Cape Town marathon, was extracted from public databases.
    Results: Fewer athletes entered TOM 2022 (N.=4741) compared to TOM 2018 (N.=11,702), of which more were male (2022: 74.5% vs. 2018: 70.4%, P<0.05) and in the 40+ age-group categories. Compared to 2018 (11.3%), fewer athletes did not finish TOM 2022 (3.1%). Only 10.2% of the finishers completed the 2022 race during the last 15-minutes prior to the cut-off, compared to 18.3% in 2018. There were no differences in the average 2022 finishing time of the subset of 290 athletes whose times were compared to their 2018 performance. There was no difference in the TOM 2022 performance of athletes who had completed the 2021 Cape Town marathon, 6-months earlier, when compared to those who had not entered the marathon.
    Conclusions: Although there were fewer entrants, most athletes who entered knew that they were adequately trained to complete TOM 2022, with the top runners breaking course records. There was therefore no impact of the pandemic on performance during TOM 2022.

    Abstract In recent decades, social scientists have debated declining levels of trust in American institutions. At the same time, many American institutions are coming under scrutiny for their use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This paper analyzes the results of a survey experiment over a nationally representative sample to gauge the effect that the use of AI has on the American public’s trust in their social institutions, including government, private corporations, police precincts, and hospitals. We find that artificial intelligence systems were associated with significant trust penalties when used by American police precincts, companies, and hospitals. These penalties were especially strong for American police precincts and, in most cases, were notably stronger than the trust penalties associated with the use of smartphone apps, implicit bias training, machine learning, and mindfulness training. Americans’ trust in institutions tends to be negatively impacted by the use of new tools. While there are significant variations in trust between different pairings of institutions and tools, generally speaking, institutions which use AI suffer the most significant loss of trust. American government agencies are a notable exception here, receiving a small but puzzling boost in trust when associated with the use of AI systems.

    Abstract Although strategic coalition formation is traditionally modeled using cooperative game theory, behavioral game theorists have repeatedly shown that outcomes predicted by game theory are different from those generated by actual human behavior. To further explore these differences, in a cooperative game theory context, we experiment to compare the outcomes resulting from human participants' behavior to those generated by a cooperative game theory solution mechanism called the core partition. Our experiment uses an interactive simulation of a glove game, a particular type of cooperative game, to collect the participant's decision choices and their resultant outcomes. Two different glove games are considered, and the outputs from 62 trial games are analyzed. The experiment's outcomes show that core coalitions, which are coalitions in a core partition, are found in about 42% of games. Though this number may seem low, a trial's outcome is more complex than whether the human player finds a core coalition or not. Finding the core coalition depends on factors such as the other possible feasible solutions and the payoffs available from these solutions. These factors, and the complexity they generate, are discussed in the paper.

    Abstract Phosphorylation is a post-translational modification of great interest to researchers due to its relevance in many biological processes. LC-MS/MS techniques have enabled high-throughput data acquisition, with studies claiming identification and localization of thousands of phosphosites. The identification and localization of phosphosites emerge from different analytical pipelines and scoring algorithms, with uncertainty embedded throughout the pipeline. For many pipelines and algorithms, arbitrary thresholding is used, but little is known about the actual global false localization rate in these studies. Recently, it has been suggested to use decoy amino acids to estimate global false localization rates of phosphosites, among the peptide-spectrum matches reported. Here, we describe a simple pipeline aiming to maximize the information extracted from these studies by objectively collapsing from peptide-spectrum match to the peptidoform-site level, as well as combining findings from multiple studies while maintaining track of false localization rates. We show that the approach is more effective than current processes that use a simpler mechanism for handling phosphosite identification redundancy within and across studies. In our case study using eight rice phosphoproteomics data sets, 6368 unique sites were confidently identified using our decoy approach compared to 4687 using traditional thresholding in which false localization rates are unknown.
