    Abstract The non-marine ostracod genus Frambocythere Colin, 1980 (Limnocytheridae, Timiriaseviinae) had a previously known stratigraphical range from the Albian (Lower Cretaceous) through to the Lutetian (middle Eocene). However, during surveys of Seongryu Cave in Uljin-gun Province, South Korea, specimens of an extant species of Frambocythere were recovered. This extends the stratigraphic range of the genus by more than 40 million years to the present, and the species is, therefore, considered to be a relict ‘living fossil’. This newly described species is most similar in morphology to Frambocythere gr. tumiensis (Helmdach, 1978), reported from Thanetian (Paleocene) deposits of the Paris Basin. The living species was found in the hypogean realm, in contrast to the fossil species, which were all epigean. It is hypothesized that, like the genus Kovalevskiella Klein, 1963, which belongs to the same lineage, Frambocythere migrated from epigean to hypogean habitats.

    Abstract Acclaimed archaeologist, Colin Renfrew, remembers the exciting and momentous academic changes which dominated archaeology in Britain and the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. Describing his experiences as a student and young academic at the University of Cambridge, Renfrew argues that basic philosophical questions (What is the nature of explanation? What are we doing as archaeologists?) underlay the emergence of a ‘New Archaeology’ in the 1960s and that young ‘New Archaeologists’ successfully used scientific and computer research methods to answer innovative environmental and economic questions about prehistory. He feels that this new academic development went seriously wrong in the United States when archaeologists relied too heavily on Carl Hempel’s analysis of scientific explanation. Consequently, Renfrew suggests, the New Archaeology was already in decline by the early 1970s.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the nursing profession and its existence in terms of preventing infection from spreading at the levels of patient care and management. Vigilance is essential in combating potential re-emerging diseases in the future. Hence, exploring a new framework, biodefense, is the best way to reframe nursing preparedness for new biological threats or new pandemics at any level of nursing care.

    Abstract Residents and fellows can play a helpful role in promoting safe and effective machine-learning tools in sleep medicine. Here we highlight the importance of establishing ground truths, considering key variables, and prioritizing transparency and accountability in the development of machine-learning tools within the field of artificial intelligence. Through understanding, communication, and collaboration, in-training physicians have a meaningful opportunity to help progress the field toward safe machine-learning tools in sleep medicine.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Sporadic cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a class of important pathologic processes known to affect the aging brain and to contribute to cognitive impairment. We aimed to identify clinical risk factors associated with postmortem CSVD in middle-aged to older adults.
    Methods: We developed and tested risk models for their predictive accuracy of a pathologic diagnosis of nonamyloid CSVD and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in a retrospective sample of 160 autopsied cases from the Edinburgh Brain Bank. Individuals aged 40 years and older covering the spectrum of healthy aging and common forms of dementia (i.e., highly-prevalent etiologies such as Alzheimer disease (AD), vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), and mixed dementia) were included. We performed binomial logistic regression models using sample splitting and cross-validation methods. Demographics, lifestyle habits, traditional vascular risk factors, chronic medical conditions,
    Results: Forty percent of our sample had a clinical diagnosis of dementia (AD = 33, VCI = 26 and mixed = 5) while others were cognitively healthy (n = 96). The mean age at death was 73.8 (SD 14.1) years, and 40% were female. The presence of none-to-mild vs moderate-to-severe nonamyloid CSVD was predicted by our model with good accuracy (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.84, sensitivity [SEN] = 72%, specificity [SPE] = 95%), with the most significant clinical predictors being age, history of cerebrovascular events, and cognitive impairment. The presence of CAA pathology was also predicted with high accuracy (AUC = 0.86, SEN = 93%, SPE = 79%). Significant predictors included alcohol intake, history of cerebrovascular events, and cognitive impairment. In a subset of atypical dementias (n = 24), our models provided poor predictive performance for both nonamyloid CSVD (AUC = 0.50) and CAA (AUC = 0.43).
    Discussion: CSVD pathology can be predicted with high accuracy based on clinical factors in patients within the spectrum of AD, VCI, and normal aging. Whether this prediction can be enhanced by the addition of fluid and neuroimaging biomarkers warrants additional study. Improving our understanding of clinical determinants of vascular brain health may lead to novel strategies in the prevention and treatment of vascular etiologies contributing to cognitive decline.
    Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that selected clinical factors accurately distinguish between middle-aged to older adults with and without cerebrovascular small vessel disease (amyloid and nonamyloid) pathology.

    Abstract Transit providers have used social media (e.g., Twitter) as a powerful platform to shape public perception and provide essential information, especially during times of disruption and disaster. This work examines how transit agencies used Twitter during the COVID-19 pandemic to communicate with riders and how the content and general activity influence rider interaction and Twitter handle popularity. We analyzed 654,345 tweets generated by the top 40 transit agencies in the US, based on Vehicles Operated in Annual Maximum Service (VOM), from January 2020 to August 2021. We developed an analysis framework, using advanced machine learning and natural language processing models, to understand how agencies' tweeting patterns are associated with rider interaction outcomes during the pandemic. From the transit agency perspective, we find smaller agencies tend to generate a higher percentage of COVID-related tweets and some agencies are more repetitive than their peers. Six topics (i.e., face covering, essential service appreciation, free resources, social distancing, cleaning, and service updates) were identified in the COVID-related tweets. From the followers' interaction perspective, most agencies gained followers after the start of the pandemic (i.e., March 2020). The percentage of follower gains is positively correlated with the percentage of COVID-related tweets, tweets replying to followers, and tweets using outlinks. The average like counts per COVID-related tweet is positively correlated with the percentage of COVID-related tweets and negatively correlated with the percentage of tweets discussing social distancing and agency repetitiveness. This work can inform transportation planners and transit agencies on how to use Twitter to effectively communicate with riders to improve public perception of health and safety as it relates to transit ridership during delays and long-term disruptions such as those created by the COVID-19 public health crisis.
