    Abstract In Beside You in Time Elizabeth Freeman expands biopolitical and queer theory by outlining a temporal view of the long nineteenth century. Drawing on Foucauldian notions of discipline as a regime that yoked the human body to time, Freeman shows how time became a social and sensory means by which people assembled into groups in ways that resisted disciplinary forces. She tracks temporalized bodies across many entangled regimes-religion, secularity, race, historiography, health, and sexuality-and examines how those bodies act in relation to those regimes. In analyses of the use of rhythmic dance by the Shakers; African American slave narratives; literature by Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, Herman Melville, and others; and how Catholic sacraments conjoined people across historical boundaries, Freeman makes the case for the body as an instrument of what she calls queer hypersociality. As a mode of being in which bodies are connected to others and their histories across and throughout time, queer hypersociality, Freeman contends, provides the means for subjugated bodies to escape disciplinary regimes of time and to create new social worlds

    Abstract Background: Conversational agents (CAs) are a promising solution to support people in improving physical activity (PA) behaviors. However, there is a lack of CAs targeted at adolescents that aim to provide support to overcome barriers to PA. This study reports the results of the co-design, development, and evaluation of a prototype CA called "Phyllis" to support adolescents in overcoming barriers to PA with the aim of improving PA behaviors. The study presents one of the first theory-driven CAs that use existing research, a theoretical framework, and a behavior change model.
    Objective: The aim of the study is to use a mixed methods approach to investigate the potential of a CA to support adolescents in overcoming barriers to PA and enhance their confidence and motivation to engage in PA.
    Methods: The methodology involved co-designing with 8 adolescents to create a relational and persuasive CA with a suitable persona and dialogue. The CA was evaluated to determine its acceptability, usability, and effectiveness, with 46 adolescents participating in the study via a web-based survey.
    Results: The co-design participants were students aged 11 to 13 years, with a sex distribution of 56% (5/9) female and 44% (4/9) male, representing diverse ethnic backgrounds. Participants reported 37 specific barriers to PA, and the most common barriers included a "lack of confidence," "fear of failure," and a "lack of motivation." The CA's persona, named "Phyllis," was co-designed with input from the students, reflecting their preferences for a friendly, understanding, and intelligent personality. Users engaged in 61 conversations with Phyllis and reported a positive user experience, and 73% of them expressed a definite intention to use the fully functional CA in the future, with a net promoter score indicating a high likelihood of recommendation. Phyllis also performed well, being able to recognize a range of different barriers to PA. The CA's persuasive capacity was evaluated in modules focusing on confidence and motivation, with a significant increase in students' agreement in feeling confident and motivated to engage in PA after interacting with Phyllis. Adolescents also expect to have a personalized experience and be able to personalize all aspects of the CA.
    Conclusions: The results showed high acceptability and a positive user experience, indicating the CA's potential. Promising outcomes were observed, with increasing confidence and motivation for PA. Further research and development are needed to create further interventions to address other barriers to PA and assess long-term behavior change. Addressing concerns regarding bias and privacy is crucial for achieving acceptability in the future. The CA's potential extends to health care systems and multimodal support, providing valuable insights for designing digital health interventions including tackling global inactivity issues among adolescents.

    Abstract Through ethnography of de-agrarianization and extraction in Myanmar, the article shows how threshold subjects – poor laborers uncertain whether they are relatively or absolutely unnecessary to the social system of profits and distribution – become vulnerable to the necroeconomy, a system of value extraction constituted by combining extraction processes that spatially, mechanically, and politically require death-making; willing laborers driven by debt, dispossession, and existential desperation; and biopolitical abandonment (by states or corporations) of subjects to the carnage of extraction. The article considers what politics may be inhabited by the threshold subject, given s/he is both simultaneously surplus and essential to social reproduction.

    Abstract Schwannomas are the most common type of benign peripheral nerve tumor in adults. Schwann cells assist in the conduction of nerve impulses and wrap around peripheral nerves to provide protection and support. Schwannomas typically arise from a single fascicle within the main nerve. Although they can occur anywhere in the body, nasal schwannomas are exceptionally rare. This case study presents a 65-year-old Caucasian female who had been experiencing obstructive nasal symptoms for three months. The in-office physical examination revealed a soft tissue expansile mass involving the submucosal tissues of the bilateral anterior nasal cavity, located just posterior to the columella. The mass was surgically excised in the operating room, and the diagnosis was confirmed through histopathology. With only 32 reported cases, nasal septal schwannomas are exceedingly rare. Diagnosis relies on histopathology for confirmation. However, their clinical presentation can mimic other sinonasal pathologies. A septal schwannoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis for a unilateral sinonasal mass. Complete excision is the definitive treatment and is associated with a low recurrence rate. The patient had no signs of reoccurrence on nasal endoscopy three months postoperatively. Surveillance MRI will be completed at one year.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to compare the interpersonal quality of contraceptive counseling between telehealth and in-person visits.
    Study design: Patients at a single Title X-funded clinic selected their preferred counseling modality (in person or telehealth via video or telephone) when scheduling an appointment for contraception. After counseling, we invited patients to complete a survey and recorded their desired contraceptive method. We assessed the quality of counseling using the Interpersonal Quality in Family Planning scale. We reviewed the electronic medical record to identify any subsequent clinician visit. We performed between-group comparisons using Mann-Whitney U, χ
    Results: From March 2021 to June 2022, 360 patients were eligible to participate, and 296 (82%) completed the survey and were included in the analysis; 150 (51%) completed counseling in person, and 146 (49%) completed counseling via telehealth. In the telehealth group, 102 (70%) chose telephone, and 44 (30%) chose video. Respondent characteristics were similar between groups. The majority of respondents in both groups reported high quality of counseling, defined as a top score on the Interpersonal Quality in Family Planning scale (75.0% telehealth respondents and 80.0% in person, p = 0.30). Compared to respondents completing in-person counseling, telehealth respondents were less likely to have a subsequent clinician visit (89.0% versus 100.0%, p < 0.001).
    Conclusions: The majority of respondents reported high-quality contraceptive counseling without significant difference between the modalities. However, respondents choosing telehealth were less likely to have a subsequent clinician visit. Given the higher uptake of telephone compared to video, telehealth via telephone may be more accessible or acceptable to some patients.
    Implications: Contraceptive counseling via telehealth has similar high interpersonal quality when compared to traditional, in-person visits. However, barriers may exist for patients who choose telehealth contraceptive counseling to access subsequent in-person care. Utilization of telehealth for contraceptive visits may provide opportunities for more equitable health care and to expand contraceptive access.

    Abstract The cell membrane is a protective barrier whose configuration determines the exchange both between intracellular and extracellular regions and within the cell itself. Consequently, characterizing membrane properties and interactions is essential for advancements in topics such as limiting nanoparticle cytotoxicity. Characterization is often accomplished by recreating model membranes that approximate the structure of cellular membranes in a controlled environment, formed using self-assembly principles. The selected method for membrane creation influences the properties of the membrane assembly, including their response to electric fields used for characterizing transmembrane exchanges. When these self-assembled model membranes are combined with electrophysiology, it is possible to exploit their non-physiological mechanics to enable additional measurements of membrane interactions and phenomena. This review describes several common model membranes including liposomes, pore-spanning membranes, solid supported membranes, and emulsion-based membranes, emphasizing their varying structure due to the selected mode of production. Next, electrophysiology techniques that exploit these structures are discussed, including conductance measurements, electrowetting and electrocompression analysis, and electroimpedance spectroscopy. The focus of this review is linking each membrane assembly technique to the properties of the resulting membrane, discussing how these properties enable alternative electrophysiological approaches to measuring membrane characteristics and interactions.
