Reverse Shock Emission from Misaligned Structured Jets in Gamma-Ray Bursts
Authors: Pang Sen-Lin , Dai Zi-Gao
Published: December 2024

The afterglow of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been extensively discussed in the context of shocks generated during an interaction of relativistic outflows with their ambient medium. This process leads to the formation of both a forward and a reverse shock. While the emission from the forward shock, observed off-axis, has been well-studied as a potential electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave-detected merger, the contribution of the reverse shock is commonly overlooked. In this paper, we investigate the contribution of the reverse shock to the GRB afterglows observed off-axis. In our analysis, we consider jets with different angular profiles, including two-component jets, power-law structured jets, Gaussian jets, and “mixed jets” featuring a Poynting-flux-dominated core surrounded by a baryonic wing. We apply our model to GRB 170817A/GW170817 and employ the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to obtain model parameters. Our findings suggest that the reverse shock emission can significantly contribute to the early afterglow. In addition, our calculations indicate that the light curves observable in future off-axis GRBs may exhibit either double peaks or a single peak with a prominent feature, depending on the jet structure, viewing angle, and microphysics shock parameters.
Challenges for Fast Radio Bursts as Multimessenger Sources from Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Authors: Bhardwaj Mohit , Palmese Antonella , Magaña Hernandez Ignacio , D’Emilio Virginia , Morisaki Soichiro
Published: December 2024

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration transients from extragalactic sources, with their origins remaining a topic of active debate. Among the proposed progenitors, binary neutron star (BNS) mergers are compelling candidates for some nonrepeating FRBs. However, associating FRBs with BNS mergers cannot be based solely on low chance coincidence probability. This study delineates necessary criteria for associating FRBs with BNS mergers, focusing on the postmerger ejecta environment. To underscore the significance of these criteria, we scrutinise the proposed association between GW190425 and FRB 20190425A, considering the requirement for the FRB signal to traverse the dense merger ejecta without significant attenuation to remain detectable at 400 MHz. Our investigation reveals that if the FRB is linked to the gravitational-wave (GW) event, the GW data support a highly off-axis configuration, with a probability of the BNS merger viewing angle p(θ

v
> 30°) being ≈99.99%. This strongly excludes an on-axis system, which is required for this FRB to be detectable. We also find faraway FRB emission models inadequate to explain the FRB 20190425A–GW190425 connection. Thus, we conclude that GW190425 is not related to FRB 20190425A. We discuss the implications for future multimessenger observations, suggesting that BNS merger remnants are unlikely to account for more than 1% of FRB sources. This finding implies that short gamma-ray bursts, which are expected to occur in only a fraction of all BNS mergers, cannot account for the overall characteristics of the FRB host population.
Exploring Magnetic Fields in a Merging Galaxy: Comparing Polarization and Velocity Gradient in the Centaurus Galaxy
Authors: Nguyen Quynh Lan , Hu Yue , Lazarian Alex
Published: December 2024

In this study, we apply the velocity gradient technique to the merging Centaurus galaxy. We compare gradient maps derived from the PHANGS-Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array survey using CO emission lines with magnetic field tracings from dust polarization data obtained via the HAWC+ instrument. Our analysis reveals a strong correspondence between the directions indicated by these two tracers across most of the galactic image. Specifically, we identify jet regions as areas of antialignment, consistent with previous reports that gradients tend to rotate 90° in outflow regions. Statistically, we find that the alignment of magnetic fields, as revealed by polarization, is most accurate in regions with the highest signal-to-noise ratios. Our findings underscore the utility of velocity gradients as a valuable complementary tool for probing magnetic fields and dynamical processes in merging galaxies. This proves the general utility of velocity gradients for mapping magnetic fields in astrophysical objects with complex dynamics.
A Case of Concurrent Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Antibody Disease and Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy
Authors: Kim Su In , Kim Sung Sun , Kim Chang Seong , Ma Seong Kwon , Kim Soo Wan , Choi Hong Sang
Published: December 2024

Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody disease is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by autoantibodies directed against antigens within the GBM, primarily affecting the kidneys and lungs. This severe form of glomerulonephritis has an incidence of less than two cases per million individuals with crescentic glomerulonephritis. The coexistence of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy and anti-GBM disease is rare. Here, we present a case of concurrent anti-GBM antibody disease and IgA nephropathy. A 49-year-old male presented with fever, azotemia, proteinuria, and hematuria. Biopsy of the kidney revealed crescentic glomerulonephritis with linear IgG deposition along the GBM and IgA deposition in the mesangium. Elevated serum levels of anti-GBM antibody (311 U/mL) confirmed the diagnosis of concurrent anti-GBM antibody disease and IgA nephropathy. Despite treatment with methylprednisolone, cyclophosphamide, and plasma exchange, renal function deteriorated, necessitating hemodialysis.

Histoire militaire. Cavour, Napoléon III et l’unité italienne
Authors: Franc Claude
Published: December 2024

L’unité italienne doit beaucoup au Comte Cavour qui ne cessa d’agir pour unifier l’Italie sous la tutelle du Roi de Piémont-Sardaigne, Victor-Emmanuel. Ce long processus bénéficia du soutien de Napoléon III, fervent « champion des Nationalités ». Toutefois, la question de la Papauté à Rome resta centrale jusqu’en 1871, étant conclue avec les accords de Latran en 1929.
Effets de la précarité administrative sur la santé des migrants âgés
Authors: Moulaert Thibauld , Niyonsaba Emmanuel
Published: December 2024

Cet article s’intéresse aux effets de la précarité administrative sur la santé des migrants âgés en France. Adoptant une approche ethnographique, à partir d’une enquête qualitative auprès de migrants de plus de 60 ans d’origine extra-européenne (pays hors union européenne), nous explorons la diversité d’expériences vécues par ces aînés dans les démarches de régularisation de séjour en fonction de leur parcours de vie et des difficultés administratives auxquelles ils font face. Nous analysons également les risques que représente cette précarité administrative sur leur santé. L’analyse des entretiens montre que les enquêtés affichent une grande détermination dans leurs démarches, mobilisant des moyens multiples tels que la valorisation de parcours d’intégration, le recours au droit spécifique à la santé etc. pour faire valoir leurs droits. Pourtant, ces démarches sont souvent loin d’aboutir aux résultats escomptés, et la précarité administrative affecte profondément leurs conditions de vie, se traduisant notamment par une insécurité permanente et une vulnérabilité renforcée, particulièrement pour les femmes. Elle s’accompagne d’un isolement social subi et de risques de multimorbidité, de parcours de soins contraints voire d’abandon de soins. Ces résultats appellent à une réflexion sur les politiques préventives des inégalités de santé qui prennent en compte la situation administrative des personnes vulnérables.
De la grande année à l’éternel retour Deleuze devant Platon et Nietzsche
Authors: Krtolica Igor
Published: December 2024

Pourquoi Gilles Deleuze s’est-il tant intéressé à l’éternel retour nietzschéen, dans son aspect cosmologique et physique et dans son aspect éthique et sélectif ? Et pourquoi, lorsqu’il s’y intéresse, ne cesse-t-il de le comparer à la conception antique de l’éternel retour, et notamment à la conception platonicienne de la Grande Année ? Nous montrons d’une part en quel sens Platon avait pour Deleuze ouvert la voie au renversement du platonisme exigé par Nietzsche, et d’autre part toute l’importance de ce renversement quant au problème de l’éternel retour : s’y joue en effet notre salut, qui constitue peut-être l’horizon ultime de la philosophie deleuzienne, voire de toute philosophie.

Authors: Owen Melissa I. , Pfeiffer Katherine , Jordan Dorothy , Dittmann Andrea
Published: December 2024

Background

The purpose of this article is to describe the development and implementation of a program to improve well-being in undergraduate students and promote positive transitions into the workplace. College students experience anxiety, depression, and impaired coping, which were exacerbated during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. As students transition into their career, it is imperative they develop positive coping strategies and resiliency to manage workplace stress.

Method

The Personal Leadership Collective (PLC) is designed as a four-semester series for third- and fourth-year nursing and business students. Four themes guided the activities: awareness, connection, agility, and growth. Students participated in asynchronous online learning modules and in-person activities. Fourth-year students who completed the series served as peer mentors to third-year students.

Results

The program is undergoing formal evaluation. Anecdotal feedback from participants is positive.

Conclusion

The PLC is a program that could enhance professional development in undergraduate students.

A new optimal control approach to uncertain Euler-Lagrange equations: $ H_\infty $ disturbance estimator and generalized $ H_2 $ tracking controller
Authors: Kim Taewan , Kim Jung Hoon
Published: December 2024

This paper proposed a new optimal control method for uncertain Euler-Lagrange systems, focusing on estimating model uncertainties and improving tracking performance. More precisely, a linearization of the nonlinear equation was achieved through the inverse dynamic control (IDC) and an $ H_\infty $ optimal estimator was designed to address model uncertainties arising in this process. Subsequently, a generalized $ H_2 $ optimal tracking controller was obtained to minimize the effect of the estimation error on the tracking error in terms of the induced norm from $ L_2 $ to $ L_\infty $. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existences of these two optimal estimator and controller were characterized through the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, and their synthesis procedures can be operated in an independent fashion. To put it another way, this developed approach allowed us to minimize not only the modeling error between the real Euler-Lagrange equations and their nominal models occurring from the IDC approach but also the maximum magnitude of the tracking error by solving some LMIs. Finally, the effectiveness of both the $ H_\infty $ optimal disturbance estimator and the generalized $ H_2 $ tracking controller were demonstrated through some comparative simulation and experiment results of a robot manipulator, which was one of the most representative examples of Euler-Lagrange equations.

Published: December 2024

Alors que l’universitaire (étudiant ou enseignant) voit le droit avant tout comme un système de normes, la clinique juridique lui permet de l’envisager dans son contexte social. Elle lui sert aussi à comprendre le droit par la connaissance des communautés épistémiques qui font un certain droit et le parlent dans une langue qui leur est propre. Le « bon » juriste parvient alors à intégrer la théorie et la pratique dans un geste unique.
Les visions du monde de Sylvie Germain et de Victor Hugo
Authors: Goulet Alain
Published: December 2024

Alors qu’on ne peut parler d’influence de Victor Hugo sur Sylvie Germain, en revanche on peut constater une grande affinité de leurs univers spirituels. L’un et l’autre sont des songeurs, des voyants et des visionnaires qui savent nous transmettre et nous faire partager par leurs œuvres bien des visions de l’immensité et nous ouvrir à l’au-delà du visible. La contemplation leur est familière et tous deux, penchés « au bord de l’infini », ont accès à la « Bouche d’ombre » qui dévoile au poète l’ensemble de la création et l’unité cosmique et mystique de l’échelle des êtres qui mène de Dieu à Satan, avec, en son milieu, « l’homme qui plane et rampe ». Et tous deux mettent en évidence l’importance de la nuit, une nuit qu’il faut traverser pour accéder à la véritable clarté.

Exploring the Present Through the Lens of the Past: A Comparative Analysis of Yo soy Lorenzo and Hijos del Desierto
Authors: Bruna Alejandro , Pablo Sánchez Sepúlveda Juan
Published: December 2024

This research investigates the phenomenon of historical discourse in period telenovelas in Chile, exploring how these television productions address contemporary issues. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with screenwriters and script team leaders to understand how the present and contemporary themes are intertwined in period narrative. The results show that period telenovelas do not fictionalize the present through a historical setting, but rather explore the elements that connect the past with the present, highlighting timeless social and political problems that are still current in Chilean society. The analysis of the telenovelas Yo soy Lorenzo, set in the 1960s, and Hijos del Desierto, set in the 1930s, reveals how current themes and historical narrative intertwine to offer a reflection on Chilean society through the lens of the past, helping educate the citizenship in relevant current affairs.
O protagonista negro em narrativas ficcionais baseadas na historiografia: desafios estético-políticos para as produções audiovisuais brasileiras
Authors:  Ribeiro Maria Aparecida  Silva
Published: December 2024

O artigo pontua, nas produções audiovisuais brasileiras Marighella (Wagner Moura, 2019) e Doutor Gama (Jeferson De, 2021) elementos de representação do protagonista negro, no contexto do projeto nacional de educação antirracista, em cumprimento à lei 10639 de 09/01/2003 para o ensino público do Brasil e estendida à indústria cultural (Brasil, 2003). Considerada a aplicabilidade da lei no âmbito da produção cinematográfica, destacam-se, na estrutura narrativa de cada obra, índices de escolhas formais e temáticas que, por um lado, seguem padrões clássicos na configuração de personagens (Rosa e Cardoso, 2013) e, por outro, buscam novos pontos de vista para o relato de fatos históricos. Nesse sentido, perspectivas decoloniais e antirracistas, pontuadas por bell hooks (2019) e Moreira (2020) são revisitadas, enquanto aporte conceitual e terminológico. Em resultado, evidencia-se a narrativização de um passado histórico atravessado por demandas sociopolíticas do presente, o que no caso da pauta antirracista, enseja contradições de ordem semântica ou a reiteração de estereótipos. Por fim, sinalizam-se nas obras elementos de análise fílmica potencialmente aplicáveis a produções similares, em suas estruturas e intencionalidades.
Racial Anthropology in Colonial Korea: “Japanese-Korean Common Ancestry” vs Nativism and Eugenics (1916–1940)
Authors: Nanta Arnaud
Published: December 2024

La Corée colonisée (1905‑1945) vit se déployer sous l’égide du Japon des savoirs visant à la compréhension de la société de la « péninsule », dans un objectif à la fois académique mais aussi de légitimation du pouvoir japonais. Au sein de ce dispositif, la question de la saisie, de la compréhension et du classement des corps – qui avait d’abord constitué une obsession nationale au Japon comme en Europe – s’imposa comme l’une des grandes préoccupations des savants coloniaux. Ainsi les trois chaires d’anatomie de l’université impériale de Keijō (Seoul), fondée en 1924, incluaient-elles deux chaires d’anthropologie physique, une configuration inédite au sein des universités d’État japonaises. Ses responsables s’efforcèrent de démontrer la validité de la théorie des « origines communes entre Japonais et Coréens » au moyen de la biologie, théorie qui avait servi depuis 1910 à légitimer l’annexion par une « proximité de race » entre conquérants et conquis. Cependant, l’entre-deux-guerres allait voir la montée d’un discours ethniciste porté par le nouveau courant eugéniste, qui s’opposait à tout rapprochement entre le « peuple japonais » saisi comme pur et les populations colonisées. La seconde moitié des années 1930 et la période de guerre virent un affrontement entre deux visions opposées du Japon, entre empire ou peuple réethnicisé.
Eugenics and Education in Post-war Japan
Authors: Galan Christian
Published: December 2024

The growth and dissemination of eugenic thought and practice in post-war Japan had a considerable impact on education in general, and teaching methodology in particular, both directly and indirectly. Whether consciously or not, Japanese teachers and educationalists were obliged to position themselves with regards the eugenic regime of the day. At the same time, eugenic policies and the view of the child they promoted influenced not only educational practices but also the attitudes of parents, teachers, scholars and politicians towards children-pupils.This paper examines Japanese literature on the subject, which generally focuses on children with disabilities and the education system’s role in disseminating eugenic thought. It also explores how eugenic ideology influenced the implicit and explicit tenets guiding the educational practices adopted for “normal” children, notably nōryokushugi (“ability-ism”). As well as being a key principle in the Japanese workplace, nōryokushugi dominated Japanese educational thought from the late 1950s onwards. The article concludes by exploring how eugenics influenced the post-war principle of educational equality and how it shaped the behaviour of all those involved in education provision.
Ovid Among the Floating Garbage: Derek Mahon on Recycling and Exile
Authors: Kelly Peter
Published: December 2024

Derek Mahon has continually turned to sites of ruination and environmental degradation across the vast span of his poetic corpus. His late work directly tackles the climate crisis and losses in biodiversity. Mahon is keenly aware of how the postmodern erosion of place and locality through globalization and exponential urbanization has contributed to the destruction of natural environments. Mahon’s growing environmental concerns are interwoven with a persistent interaction with the works of ancient Greek and Roman writers, perhaps most frequently Ovid. This article questions why Mahon turns time and again to Ovid when grappling with environmental destruction and when seeking to establish what role if any the poet has in cataloguing and combatting the climate crisis. It argues that the Metamorphoses provides a means of contemplating the interconnections between the human and natural world, while the Tristia and Ex Ponto offer an extensive meditation on exile and displacement. Mahon’s long lasting relationship with Ovid, however, extends beyond thematic interest. It will also be suggested that Ovid’s metapoetic and intertextual strategies provide a model for Mahon, especially when it comes to the reuse of themes and topics from his earlier work. The result is a continuous distorting of spatial boundaries and temporal progression. In the works of both Ovid and Derek Mahon, we encounter deeply entangled or rhizomatic poetry with multiple points of entry and departure. Mahon’s late work and Ovid’s exilic literature develop an aesthetic of displacement that is grounded in the recycling and reuse of their previous work. Here we might even conceive a form of poetry making that serves as a counterbalance to the waste resulting from environmental destruction and the detritus, which has come to characterize modernity.
Ovid Underwater: Environmental Dialectics at Achelous’ Banquet
Authors: Feldherr Andrew
Published: December 2024

A recent tendency in studies of Metamorphoses draws inspiration from the climate crisis to highlight the uncanniness of the environments described in the poem. Ovidian nature confronts viewers and readers with the limits of human power and identity. This article integrates this approach to the represented world of the poem with earlier critical emphases on the work’s narratological complexity. The stark power differentials suggested by the landscape contrast with the uses narrators make of environmental description to negotiate their own status within the specific contexts of narration. This function of narrative as a technique for controlling the environment is explored through close readings of the interlocking tales told at Achelous banquet. The themes of these stories, sacrifice, nurture, and reproduction, as mythical evocations of distinctively human strategies of survival, help anchor narrative itself as a means of exposing and mediating the alterity of the cosmos and suggest a model for understanding Ovid’s own act of narration in political terms.
JBZ (Abidjan) et Bogolan (Bamako) : itinéraire biographique de deux “studios live” de légende et de leurs principaux protagonistes
Authors: Olivier Emmanuelle , Pras Amandine
Published: December 2024

À la croisée entre ethnomusicologie et science de l’ingénierie sonore, cet article propose une lecture des musiques ouest-africaines au prisme des lieux et des technologies de la production musicale. Octobre 2022 : le studio Bogolan de Bamako ferme définitivement ses portes. Quatre ans auparavant à Abidjan, c’est JBZ qui disparaissait. Ces deux grands studios hérités de l’ère analogique qui ont « fait » la musique ouest-africaine des années 1980-2010 n’ont plus leur place dans l’écosystème de la musique à l’ère post-globale, caractérisé par une profusion de petits studios basés sur des stations audionumériques. À travers un itinéraire biographique de ces deux studios de légende et de leurs principaux protagonistes (propriétaires, réalisateurs, producteurs, arrangeurs et ingénieurs du son), cet article entend brosser le portrait d’une époque et d’un milieu, celui d’une première industrie musicale indépendante des pouvoirs étatiques, initiant là le mouvement ouest-africain de la world music. Mais la trajectoire et l’activité de ces studios révèlent aussi des différences notables dans les politiques culturelles et économiques des deux pays : quand Bogolan privilégie le folklore malien et les collaborations avec des musicien·ne·s et ingénieurs du son des pays du Nord, JBZ attire les plus grandes vedettes des musiques urbaines d’Afrique de l’Ouest et d’Afrique centrale. Ce texte montre enfin les conséquences des choix différents de Bogolan et JBZ sur la culture des studios numériques dans chacun des pays : continuité de la transmission des savoirs de l’analogique au numérique à Abidjan dont la production musicale est aujourd’hui connectée au marché global, contre peu d’échanges et une rupture entre un « studio live » international et les studios numériques à Bamako, largement déconnectés de l’industrie globale.
Du studio à la « scène ». Les lieux du beatmaking à Dakar
Authors: Péneau Maël
Published: December 2024

Les studios où est produite et enregistrée la musique hip-hop sénégalaise se distinguent les uns des autres selon des critères qui tiennent autant aux équipements utilisés qu’aux configurations spatiales et géographiques. En fonction de leur localisation, des parcours de leurs propriétaires, de leurs utilisateurs, mais aussi de leurs usages, ces studios entretiennent en effet des liens spécifiques avec leur environnement social, culturel, et urbain. À Dakar, des studios sont installés dans une chambre, elle-même située dans un appartement familial ; d’autres occupent un appartement individuel entièrement consacré à la production sonore et à l’enregistrement. Certains lieux réunissent plusieurs studios, des bureaux, et des salles de réunion. Bien que partageant la même dénomination, ces lieux recouvrent des réalités sociales et créatives différentes. En s’appuyant sur les données recueillies lors d’un terrain de recherche ethnographique réalisé entre 2019 et 2020 à Dakar auprès d’une quinzaine de beatmakers et d’ingénieurs du son sénégalais dans le cadre de ma thèse, cet article analyse la façon dont ces lieux s’inscrivent à la fois dans les circuits de création et de diffusion de la musique (à l’échelle locale comme à l’échelle globale), et aussi dans la vie sociale des quartiers où ils sont implantés, en interrogeant les pratiques musicales qui y ont lieu au prisme des relations qu’ils entretiennent avec leur environnement social et urbain.
The Impact of the Covid Pandemic on UK Economic Policy and Its Legacy
Authors: Sowels Nicholas
Published: December 2024

This article examines the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the UK in comparison to previous shocks since 1980. It details the economic measures taken by the public authorities to deal with the crisis, including massive public spending to support household incomes and powerful monetary policy measures. The analysis then looks at the economic legacies of the pandemic, especially concerning public debt and inflation, noting that at the time of the general election in July 2024 Britain’s economic outlook had stabilised and inflation had ebbed. However, the article concludes that the era of unprecedented ultra-low interest rates which began in the wake of the global financial crisis (2007-2009) is over. It emphasises that while today’s high public debt is not unprecedented in British history it will weigh heavily on public spending in the years, if not decades, to come.

Catalysing Transformative Change in Conservation: Lessons Learned From a Decolonial Conservation Partnership
Authors: Bishop Allison , Roth Robin , McGregor Deborah , Moola Faisal , Nitah Steven
Published: December 2024

Conservation faces a legitimacy crisis—inadequately protecting nature while marginalising the very people and societies shown to be most successful at conserving nature. Scholars and the global community are increasingly recognising that respecting, protecting, and elevating Indigenous land and water governance contributes to greater outcomes for people and nature. In the face of the dual climate and biodiversity crises, the challenge and the opportunity are great. True transformational change in the conservation sector will require sustained commitment, collaborative effort, humility, courage, and accountability within complex systems with many actors and interests. In this paper, and in the context of scholarly debates reconciliation and resurgence, we examine the efforts of the Conservation through Reconciliation Partnership (CRP)—an Indigenous-led, large-scale, multi-sectoral decolonial conservation partnership in Canada created to help elevate Indigenous-led conservation and support the transformation of the conservation sector. Drawing on our own experiences, public-facing materials the partnership has created, and the results of a mid-term evaluation, we assess the challenges and benefits of the CRP and offer key lessons for others wishing to create decolonial conservation partnerships.
A Case of Right Ventricular Endomyocardial Fibrosis Presenting with Right Ventricular Failure in an Immunocompromised Patient
Authors: Ghosh Ratul , Majumder Biswajit , Sarkar Shibsankar , Maji Somnath
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare disease in India but an important cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy. A middle-aged nondiabetic nonhypertensive male presented to us with features of right heart failure. Echocardiography shows a grossly dilated right atrium, reduced right ventricular (RV) volume with thickened RV wall, and obliteration of the apex of the right ventricle along with severe low-pressure tricuspid regurgitation. There was mild thickening and obliteration of left ventricular apex also. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was attempted but could not be done as the patient had severe claustrophobia. He was diagnosed as HIV positive and was started on ART. The patient was managed conservatively with loop diuretics along with ACE inhibitors and spironolactone, and is now doing well with regular follow-up.
Latanoprostene bunod: the first nitric oxide-donating antiglaucoma medication
Authors: Soltani Ghazaleh , Shalaby Wesam Shamseldin , Razeghinejad Reza
Published: December 2024

Glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy that causes characteristic visual field defects and is considered one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide. Lowering intraocular pressure is the only proven treatment for glaucoma. Medical therapy is usually the first-line treatment for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic drop 0.024% is a nitric oxide-donating prostaglandin F2α analog. It lowers the intraocular pressure via a dual mechanism of enhancing aqueous humor outflow through both the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathways. Additionally, the nitric oxide component has shown promise in regulating ocular blood flow and promoting the survival of retinal ganglionic cells. Herein, the mechanism of action, efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the latanoprostene bunod and its effects on ocular blood flow are reviewed. Latanoprostene bunod has demonstrated strong efficacy and a favorable safety profile in both clinical trials and real-world studies. Given the promising results of latanoprostene bunod and advancements in drug delivery, topical fixed-combination and sustained-release formulations containing latanoprostene bunod and other agents targeting different intraocular pressure-lowering mechanisms may become available in the future.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of the spherical Heinz transform for operator tuples, thereby extending the notion of the generalized mean transform in one-dimensional case to a multivariable operator setting. We study some of its properties and prove several inequalities involving the joint numerical radius and the joint operator norm of the spherical Aluthge and Heinz transforms. Moreover, several generalizations and refinements of some fundamental inequalities are also obtained.

OBJECTIVES: Observational studies have reported that diabetes is a risk factor that increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the causal relationship remains a matter of debate. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between fasting serum glucose (FSG) and ASCVD.METHODS: This study used data from the Korean Cancer Prevention Study-II (KCPS-II) Biobank, consisting of 159,844 people recruited with consent from 18 health examination centers from 2004 to 2013. Outcomes were confirmed based on diagnoses on hospital discharge summaries from National Health Insurance System. We used linear and non-linear Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. The outcome data were obtained from KCPS-II, and the exposure data were derived from the Korean Genome Epidemiology Study.RESULTS: First, a prospective cohort study estimated that for each 10 mg/dL increase in FSG level, the risk of ASCVD increased by 4% (hazard ratio [HR], 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03 to 1.05). Second, the 2-sample MR study showed that every 10 mg/dL increase in FSG influenced the risk of ASCVD (odds ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.18). Third, the multivariable MR study showed that the OR per 10 mg/dL increase in FSG on ASCVD was 1.14 (p<0.001). Similar results were found for a 10 mg/dL increase in FSG and ischemic heart disease (IHD), but a significant relationship with stroke was not found. When performing non-linear MR, a linear relationship was observed between fasting blood sugar and ASCVD, including IHD and stroke.CONCLUSIONS: FSG showed a linear and causal association with IHD, but not with stroke.

Published: December 2024

In the digital security environment, the obfuscation and encryption of malicious scripts are primary attack methods used to evade detection. These scripts—easily spread through websites, emails, and file downloads—can be automatically executed on users' systems, posing serious security threats. To overcome the limitations of signature‐based detection methods, this study proposed a methodology for real‐time detection of obfuscated and encrypted malicious scripts using ML/DL models with feature optimization techniques. The obfuscated script datasets were analyzed to identify the unique characteristics, classified into 16 feature sets, to evaluate the optimal features for the best detection accuracy. Although the detection accuracy of these datasets was < 20%, when tested with commercial antivirus services, the experimental results using ML and DL models demonstrated that the proposed light gradient boosting model (LGBM) could achieve the best detection accuracy and processing speed. The LGBM outperformed other artificial intelligence models by achieving 97% accuracy and the minimum processing time in the decoded, obfuscated, and encrypted dataset cases.
Piracy, Plagiarism, and Shifting Meanings. The Case of the Publication of Hore di ricreatione by Lodovico Guicciardini
Authors: Lepri Valentina
Published: December 2024

This paper focuses on the little-known case of editorial piracy committed by the printer and polygraph Francesco Sansovino (1521–1586) to the detriment of Lodovico Guicciardini (1521–1589), nephew of the more famous Francesco, who had settled in Antwerp. As the numerous editions and reprints testify, the Hore di ricreatione enjoyed remarkable success throughout Europe. On the contrary, the initial editorial piracy of which it was the object remained an almost private matter. The study of the proemial parts of the work allows us to clearly observe the differences between the author’s intentions and those of the Venetian printer. If the former was driven by the pursuit of fame and by his cultural background, the latter was driven by the market and the preferences of his readers. Exploring the different meaning they attached to the text highlights the often conflicting dynamics between author and printer in the Renaissance, and also offers a glimpse into the world of sixteenth-century printing from a particular perspective.
Trzy listy Eneasza Sylwiusza Piccolominiego związane ze śmiercią księcia Aleksandra Mazowieckiego. Wstęp, przekład, komentarz
Authors: Grzybowska Lidia
Published: December 2024

The article presents the translation of three letters and two versions of the epitaph on the death of Duke Alexander of Masovia, written by Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini on June 1–6, 1444, in Vienna. Two of these letters are addressed to Giovanni Peregallo, while the last one is directed to Juan of Segovia. Both recipients had strong ties to the Council of Basel. Aeneas himself was initially aligned with the Baselians following the schism of 1439; however, during the years 1442–1445, his sympathies shifted from pro-conciliarist to pro-papal. The letters examined in this article serve as evidence of this gradual transformation in Aeneas’ stance, influenced by various factors such as Emperor Frederick III’s opinion, conflicts within the conciliarist faction, and the strategic maneuvers of the future pope. Accompanying the translations is an extensive introduction providing background information on the events depicted in the letters and their key figures (Duke Alexander of Masovia, Marcus Bonifili, and Laurentius of Rotella), analyzing Aeneas’ narrative through the lens of the “semantics of the turn” framework proposed by German scholar Johannes Helmrath.
Retrodatação: seu papel crucial na confecção de um dicionário etimológico da língua portuguesa
Authors: Viaro Mário Eduardo
Published: December 2024

Backdating: its crucial role in making an etymological dictionary of the Portuguese language:
Among the problems existing in entries in etymological dictionaries, one of the most serious is the absence or imprecision of a terminus a quo, that is, the oldest dating of the lexical item in the available documentation. Diachronic explanations often present large gaps, due to the lack of descriptions of the lexicon and its neological results in past synchronies. Furthermore, the distinction between graphic variation and lexical variation is not always clear in etymological dictionaries of the Portuguese language, which compromises not only the knowledge about the existence of a specific lexical item in a past synchrony, but also – even more seriously – the entire diachronic explanation that involves these data and the resulting theoretical conclusions. To describe part of this picture, backdating exercises are carried out on lexical items derived with the suffix -eiro, with a specific semantic field (“profession”), contrasting information from the Dicionário Houaiss and works by Jerónimo Cardoso (ca. 1508–1569).
Algumas observações acerca da definição e do emprego de gente no português europeu
Authors: Drzazgowska Joanna
Published: December 2024

Some observations about the definition and use of gente in European Portuguese:
The Portuguese noun gente comes from the Latin word gens, gentis, which can mean ‘family grouping’, ‘clan’, ‘the house in its entirety’, ‘family’, ‘people’, ‘race’, ‘generation’, ‘offspring’, ‘number of people’, ‘someone of importance’. The aim of this article is to analyse the meaning and use of the word gente in European Portuguese and to attempt to show how the meaning of the Latin word has evolved in Portuguese over time. For this purpose, definitions of gente from selected dictionaries published from the end of the 18th century to the 21st century are analyzed. The next stage of our analysis is an attempt to compare data and information from dictionaries with the real use of the word gente. The corpus of our analysis, both qualitative and quantitative, is Portuguese literature from the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Authors: Araújo Daniel Féo Castro de , Sobrinho Fernando Luiz Araújo
Published: December 2024

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a influência das políticas estatais no desenvolvimento do setor sucroenergético no Brasil, com foco na produção de biocombustíveis, especialmente o etanol. O problema central abordado é a dependência do setor em relação a medidas governamentais e como isso impacta a competitividade do mercado. A metodologia utilizada inclui uma revisão bibliográfica abrangente, análise de documentos governamentais e dados estatísticos, além de uma avaliação crítica das políticas implementadas, como a Política Energética Nacional e o programa RenovaBio. Os resultados mais significativos indicam que, apesar dos avanços na produção e na sustentabilidade ambiental, o setor ainda enfrenta desafios relacionados à transparência e à equidade nas políticas públicas. A predominância de interesses de grupos específicos, como as usinas sucroenergéticas, pode comprometer a eficácia das iniciativas. O estudo conclui que é fundamental promover a participação de uma gama mais ampla de atores nas decisões políticas, visando um desenvolvimento do setor sucroenergético, que contribua efetivamente para uma matriz energética mais limpa no Brasil.

LAS PARADOJAS DE LA GESTACIÓN SUBROGADA EN MÉXICO: UN ANÁLISIS DEL RAZONAMIENTO DE LA SUPREMA CORTE DE JUSTICIA A LA LUZ DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS
Authors: García Escobar Gabriela
Published: December 2024

Las experiencias que se recogen de los países donde se ha legalizado la gestación subrogada están repletas de abusos hacia las mujeres gestantes y los niños. Sin embargo, los defensores de este mercado, entre ellos el máximo órgano judicial de México, la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación (SCJN), siguen optando por una visión optimista y contractualista, basada en el consentimiento. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar esta postura a la luz del Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos y de la experiencia práctica de la gestación subrogada. Para esto, se estudiarán sus implicaciones jurídicas en relación con la trata de personas y la prohibición de la venta de niños. De este análisis se desprende, que el optimismo de la SCJN, parte de presuposiciones no corroborables y de un estudio superficial y parcial de los derechos humanos implicados en esta práctica.
