Summary
Inadvertently means something occurring unintentionally or accidentally. This term is relevant in the context of a reported case of a preterm newborn who unknowingly drank breast milk positive for SARS-CoV-2. Despite concerns about transmitting the virus through breast milk, several scientific societies advocate for breastfeeding while taking appropriate precautions and management of infected mothers. The risk of disease transmission through breast milk remains theoretical, and the protective role of breast milk is supported by the fact that the newborn in the case was not infected. Therefore, the term inadvertently is significant in the context of breastfeeding during the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the importance of taking adequate measures to ensure the safety of both the mother and the infant.
Consensus Meter
A case is reported of a healthy preterm newborn who inadvertently drank breastmilk that was positive for SARS-CoV-2. The two different samples of breastmilk were collected, one with strict hygiene precautions and one without, and both were confirmed positive. However, the newborn was not infected, indicating the protective role of breast milk. Despite concerns about transmitting the virus through breast milk, some scientific societies across the world have emphasized the benefits of breastfeeding, even with expressed breast milk. This case highlights the difficulties in the practical management of a neonate whose mother has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 after delivery. Overall, the report supports the recommendation that breastfeeding should continue during the COVID-19 pandemic, with appropriate precautions and management of infected mothers. The risk of disease transmission through breast milk remains hypothetical, but it is important to consider individual circumstances and risks when determining the best approach to breastfeeding during COVID-19.

The increasing dependence on digital data in education has led to greater expectations for educational equity through the use of educational technology. However, this paper argues that edtech providers are engaging in "cruel optimism" by making token gestures towards justice and equality. The paper presents three data stories based on ethnographic interviews and highlights the paradoxes of datafied education. At the heart of the issue is the notion that the very object of desire for educational equity (i.e., datafication) is blocking its realization. The paper concludes by questioning the current phase of edu-technical transformation and its implications for educational equity. The constitutive paradoxes of datafied education suggest that more needs to be done to address the root causes of educational inequity rather than relying solely on technology to solve the problem. Ultimately, achieving true educational equity will require a complex, multi-faceted approach that addresses issues related to access, opportunity, and power dynamics in our educational systems.

Humanitarian aid is a crucial part of peacebuilding and reconstruction efforts but there are concerns that it may inadvertently prolong conflict. The current debate on this topic is limited and lacks clear causal mechanisms. The author proposes a bargaining framework to explain how aid can increase uncertainty and prolong civil wars. The hypothesis is tested using panel data on cross-national humanitarian aid expenditures from 1989 to 2008, which shows that increased levels of aid prolong civil wars, especially those involving rebels on the outskirts of a state. Policymakers need to carefully consider the potential risks of humanitarian aid and explore methods of distribution that minimize the risks of conflict prolongation.

The use of public datasets to evaluate natural language processing (NLP) methods can lead to inflated results due to overlap between the train and test datasets. This can inadvertently evaluate the model's ability to memorize instead of generalize, and may not accurately reflect performance in real-world scenarios. The leakage of training data into test data was identified in several publicly available datasets used for NLP tasks like named entity recognition and relation extraction. The study aims to assess the impact of that leakage on the model's ability to memorize versus generalize.

A study has suggested that the rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP Ebola vaccine may increase the risk of pregnancy loss. Originally the study excluded pregnant women but, due to errors, 84 women became pregnant within 60 days of receiving the vaccine. When compared to unvaccinated women with similar term pregnancies, those vaccinated had higher rates of pregnancy loss, with 45% of vaccinated women and 33% of unvaccinated women losing their pregnancy. However, no congenital anomalies were detected in any of the live-born infants examined. While the data highlights a possible risk related to this Ebola vaccine, it is important to balance this with the risk of exposure to the virus. Further testing of the vaccine is needed to confirm these findings.

Research shows that animals, much like humans, are influenced by the behavior of their peers. The use of public information, or cues inadvertently produced by others, can aid in decision-making and ultimately enhance fitness. This phenomenon is taxonomically widespread and may even contribute to cultural evolution, which in turn could impact biological evolution. The evidence points to the fact that similar principles of social learning and information gathering exist in both the animal kingdom and human society.

The article discusses the tension between essentialist views on sexual identity held by Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual (LGB) school leaders and the tenets of Queer Theory, which seek to trouble and destabilize such categories. Despite the potential for conflict, the article argues that Queer Theory can offer important insights into the power dynamics, practices, and identities of LGB school leaders. Using findings from a study of five LGB school leaders in England, the article suggests that these leaders are inadvertently embodying Queer Theory through their non-normative embodiment of sexual identity, challenging gender norms and traditional concepts of leadership, and promoting queer identities for others. By doing so, they are challenging the heteronormative institutional foundations of schools and other processes of normalization. The article thus presents a nuanced view of LGB school leadership, one that acknowledges both essentialist views of sexual identity and the potential for Queer Theory to offer new and important understandings of the complexities of identity, power, and practice.

The accidental insertion of a cardiac implantable electronic device lead into the left ventricle is a rare complication of transvenous pacing and defibrillation. It is important to detect the issue immediately during implantation so that necessary corrections can be made, or serious risks can be avoided. However, if the misplacement is only discovered after implantation, the lead should be surgically removed or chronic anticoagulation with warfarin should be ensured. It is, therefore, necessary to focus on how to prevent, detect, and correct the issue immediately after implantation.

A study has found that endometrioma cystectomy, even when performed using an accurate surgical technique, leads to significant removal of ovarian tissue. The aim of the study was to determine if the size of an endometrioma affects the thickness of ovarian parenchyma removed during surgery. A retrospective study of 35 women who underwent endometrioma cystectomy using an ovarian tissue-sparing technique was conducted. The study found that the thickness of ovarian parenchyma removed presented a direct proportional relationship with cyst diameter, leading to significant loss of ovarian tissue. The mean thickness of ovarian tissue removed was 1173 +/- 711 microm and that of the cyst wall was 851 +/- 499 microm. The study recommends that clinicians should take these findings into account when choosing management options for endometrioma cysts.

The article discusses the problem of measuring fNIRS hemodynamic responses that are not due to neurovascular coupling, which can be misinterpreted as brain activity, leading to "false positives" or mask brain activity, leading to "false negatives." The authors highlight the physiological origins of these issues and suggest ways to avoid and remove them. It is important to consider this problem when performing functional near-infrared spectroscopy studies to avoid misinterpretation of results.
