We give numerical evidence that the two-dimensional nonequilibrium zero-temperature random field Ising model exhibits critical behavior. Our findings are based on the results of scaling analysis and collapsing of data, obtained in extensive simulations of systems with sizes sufficiently large to clearly display the critical behavior.

Zinc finger proteins facilitate adaptation of a global insect pest to climate change.

BMC Biol

December 2024

State Key Laboratory for Ecological Pest Control of Fujian and Taiwan Crops, Institute of Applied Ecology, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou, 350002, China.

Background: Global climate change significantly impacts ecosystems, particularly through temperature fluctuations that affect insect physiology and behavior. As poikilotherms, insect pests such as the globally devastating diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella, are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures and extreme heat events, necessitating effective adaptive mechanisms.

Results: Here we demonstrate the roles of zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) in mediating thermal adaptability in DBM.

Patient- and Family-Centered Outcomes After Intensive Care Unit Admission.

Am J Crit Care

January 2025

Eliotte L. Hirshberg is an assistant professor of pediatrics, Shock Trauma Intensive Care Unit, Intermountain Medical Center, Murray, Utah; Center for Humanizing Critical Care, Intermountain Health, Murray, Utah; Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Intermountain Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah; and Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City.

Background: Family satisfaction with intensive care is a measure of patient experience and patient-centered care. Among the factors that might influence family satisfaction are the timing of patient admittance to the intensive care unit (ICU), the ICU environment, and individual health care providers.

Objective: To evaluate family satisfaction with the ICU and to explore associations between satisfaction and specific characteristics of the ICU stay.

From Moral Distress to Moral Integrity: Qualitative Evaluation of a New Moral Conflict Assessment Tool.

Am J Crit Care

January 2025

Peter Dodek is a professor emeritus, Division of Critical Care Medicine and Center for Advancing Health Outcomes, St Paul's Hospital and University of British Columbia, Vancouver.

Background: Moral distress affects the well-being of health care professionals and can lead to burnout and attrition. Assessing moral distress and taking action based on this assessment are important. A new moral conflict assessment (MCA) designed to prompt action was developed and tested.
