Published: December 2024

Abstract
Urban areas have received increasing attention as key areas to accelerate and upscale climate change. Several Indian cities are witnessing a huge demand for residential buildings, and consequently, for energy-intensive building materials. Using the case study of Ahmedabad city in western India, the study used a bottom-up methodology to develop a methodological framework for estimating the material demand for the residential sector by 2050. The objective of the study was to estimate future housing stock for Ahmedabad and its impact on material demand and CO2 emissions this study adopted a mixed-method approach. The estimated material demand (EMD) for 2050 was derived from the calculated total constructed floor area (CFA) and quantity of material consumption per square meter. The total CFA is calculated using percentages of different housing types, unit sizes, and building height. Using trend analyses data from the last 50 years (1965–2015) and forecasts for the different building typologies, future floor space was estimated. Quantitative research was further strengthened by conducting semi-structured interviews with 16 experts. The results show a residential building typologies over time, with a decline in independent houses and an increase in multistoried apartments by 2050. With the continuation of current trends, 3.1 million new housing units will need to be constructed by 2050. Without policy intervention, 45.6 Mt of cement, 13.3 Mt of steel, and 150 Mt of bricks would be required resulting in 178.1 MtCO2 emissions. The EMD establishes the need to adopt alternative sustainable pathways, including reducing the demand for floor space, and adopting resource efficiency and circular economic principles for building materials. The paper concludes with recommendations for Ahmedabad, which can be replicated in other Indian cities. Future studies could explore alternative scenarios of urban development and how approaches to sufficiency or efficiency can alter material consumption.

Abstract
Spinel LiMn2O4 (LMO) renders as a prevailing cathode material for commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in prospect of its cost-effectiveness, nontoxicity, fabulous rate capability, and high energy density. Nevertheless, the LMO is inevitably confronted with sluggish diffusion kinetics and drastic capacity degradation triggered by multiple issues, including Jahn-Teller distortion, Mndissolution, and structural attenuation. Thereinto, a metal-organic framework (MOF) chemistry engineering for hierarchical micro-/nano-structural F, O-dual-doped carbon embedded oxygen vacancy enriched LiMn2O4 cathode (OV-LMO@FOC) is proposed for longevous LIBs. Bestowed by experimental and theoretical implementations, systematic investigations of OV-LMO@FOC endow that the meticulous integration of F, O-dual-doped carbon and oxygen vacancy in LMO-based cathode reconfigures the electronic structure, boosts electronic conductivity, expedites diffusion capability, facilitates energetically preferable Li+ adsorption, and suppresses Mn dissolution in the electrolyte, consequently achieving fabulous long-term cycling stability. As expected, the OV-LMO@FOC behaves with compelling electrochemical performance with prosperous specific capacity (130.2 mAh g−1 at 0.2 C upon 200 loops), exceptional rate capacity (93.7 mAh g−1 even at 20 C), and pronounced long-term cyclability (112.5 mAh g−1 after 1200 loops with 77.6% capacity retention at 1 C). Even at the ultrahigh current density of 5 C, the OV-LMO@FOC bears a brilliant capacity of 96.9 mAh g−1 upon 1000 loops with an extraordinary capacity retention of 90.7%, and maintains a discharge capacity of 70.9 mAh g−1 upon 4000 loops. This work envisions the MOF-chemistry in surface modification and electronic modulation engineering of high-performance cathode materials towards industrialization in automotive market.&#xD;

An. III 8: concluding theorems about human nous
Authors: Corcilius Klaus , Falcon Andrea , Roreitner Robert 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In De anima III 8 Aristotle does not merely summarize the previous treatment of the cognitive capacities of the soul but he summarizes it in such a way as to address major philosophical questions about the nature of cognition. The chapter draws momentous conclusions from the previous treatment of perception and nous by situating the cognitive soul in Aristotle’s ontology of the physical world in a way that invites comparison with Plato’s simile of the line. Taking all this into account, it is not an overstatement to say that De anima III 8 contains Aristotle’s final word on the nature of human cognition, the cognitive soul, and its place in the world.
The Market as a Primary Institution
Authors: Buzan Barry , Falkner Robert 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the idea of the market itself. While the basic idea of the market is straightforward, establishing the criteria by which the market might be thought of as an institution of society, whether domestic or international, is considerably more complicated. The chapter addresses in some depth three key questions that need to be answered before the determination of whether or not the market has institutional status can be settled: What do we mean by ‘the market’? How much of that market essence has to exist in order to qualify as being a market? What is the scope of market logic in terms of both the scale (local, national, regional, global), and the sectors (trade, finance, production/international investment, labour migration) to which it is or is not applied? The Conclusions sum up the argument and relate it to the traditional approaches to IPE: realism, liberalism, Marxism, and constructivism.
Conclusions
Authors: Buzan Barry , Falkner Robert 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The last chapter serves three purposes. First, it picks up the question of how to understand the market, and its pattern of evolution, as a primary institution of GIS. Here it summarizes the main findings about the market itself, focusing on the instability of the market norm, the varied composition of the social glue that holds it in place, and its prospects in the emerging deep pluralism. Second, it looks at the implications for the English School of bringing the market in as a primary institution of global international society, which emerged at the same time as nationalism. Third, it looks at the implications for International Political Economy of understanding the market in an English School framing. It makes the case that this offers a distinctive approach to IPE that returns its disciplinary perspective to the kind of big picture theorizing that was central to its original theoretical debate.
Love and sex
Authors: Landy Joshua 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the depiction of same-sex love in Proust’s novel, as seen through a rather confused narrator who displays a mixture of admiration, prejudice, and empathy toward a highly oppressed population. It also discusses the overall picture of love, one which, on the surface, is heavily cynical. The narrator claims that love is bound to be miserable, inevitably involves jealousy, never permits reciprocation, and is universally based on fantasy and projection, with the result that you may as well choose anyone to be your partner, since anyone is going to be as good (or bad) for you as anyone else. Love is a painful illusion, a “disease” best avoided. But there are interesting indications that the narrator is only extrapolating from his own idiosyncratic situation. In fact, there are broader indications that the narrator’s general theories are not always to be trusted. A novel is not a treatise.

Abstract
Living in racially and ethnically segregated neighborhoods may increase the risk of breast cancer. We examined associations between neighborhood racial and ethnic composition typology and incident primary invasive breast cancer risk in a population-based sample of 102,615 African American/Black, Japanese American, Native Hawaiian, Latino, and White females residing in California and Hawaii from the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) study between 1993-2019. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. In California, African American/Black females in predominantly White neighborhoods had decreased breast cancer risk compared to African American/Black females in predominantly Black neighborhoods (HR=0.71, 95% CI=0.50-0.99). Latino females in mixed White and Asian American/Pacific Islander neighborhoods had increased breast cancer risk (HR=1.59, 95% CI=1.20-2.11) in comparison to Latino females in predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods. In Hawaii, Japanese American females in multiethnic neighborhoods had increased breast cancer risk (HR=1.49, 95% CI=1.24-1.78) compared to Japanese American females in predominantly Asian American neighborhoods. Native Hawaiian females in predominantly Asian American neighborhoods had increased breast cancer risk (HR=1.23, 95% CI=1.04-1.45) compared to Native Hawaiian females in mixed Native Hawaiian neighborhoods. Our findings can inform future studies to identify specific pathways through which segregation influences cancer risk in multiethnic populations.
The spoilers puzzle
Authors: Chasid Alon 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Spoilers provide advance knowledge of crucial facts about how a work of fiction unfolds or ends. This is often the reason given for our dislike of spoilers. I begin by showing that, on generally accepted philosophical accounts of fiction and imagination, the phenomenon of spoilers is puzzling, and the lay explanation of our dislike of spoilers is inadequate. To resolve the puzzle, I first argue that imaginings are inherently constrained or norm-governed. In imagining, we take on a (fictional) doxastic role: our aim is to imagine that which a work of fiction presents as true at each stage of its unfolding. Then, distinguishing between two ways in which we can follow norms or rules, I show that although spoilers do not completely thwart our experience of fiction, they can significantly diminish the degree to which we are engrossed in fiction, hence we dislike them.
Adapting Caenorhabditis elegans to evaluating functional foods and ingredients for cholesterol absorption
Authors: Sakamoto Kanato , Kawano Tsuyoshi 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is an excellent model organism for elucidating higher life phenomena. C. elegans and humans are common in many aspects. During our research on development and life span regulation, we identified RAB-18, a small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) involved in the membrane trafficking of NCR-1, a cholesterol transporter mainly expressed in the intestine. We expressed the human NPC1L1, an intestinal cholesterol transporter, in mutant C. elegans lacking NCR-1. NPC1L1-expressing animals revealed almost the same larval diapause in the presence of a diapause-inducing pheromone and lipid droplets containing cholesterol as in wild-type C. elegans. This result indicates that C. elegans NCR-1 and human NPC1L1 are exchangeable and that C. elegans RAB-18 transports human NPC1L1 to the apical membrane in the C. elegans intestine. This transgenic C. elegans could be adapted to evaluate functional foods and ingredients regarding cholesterol absorption.
Tumour biology and survival outcomes in young women with breast cancer: single-centre retrospective analysis
Authors: Monaghan Patrick Pio , Shrestha Anne , Barrett Emma , Absar Mohammed Shamim 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide. The disease is more severe in younger women and often confers a poorer prognosis. This study aimed to profile a cohort of young women with breast cancer and address whether aspects of their tumour biology were related to their long-term outcomes.

Methods
The records of consecutive women aged 40 and under with a diagnosis of breast cancer at a single centre between 1 January 2010 and 30 December 2015 were analysed and a profile was created. They were followed up until 19 July 2023 (median 112 months, range 4–161), and the impact of oestrogen positivity (ER+), human epidermal growth factor 2 positivity (HER2+), tumour grade, axillary lymph node metastases and Ki67 value on overall survival and disease-free interval (DFI) was investigated.

Results
One hundred and sixty-four patients were included. Younger patients typically presented with large, high-grade tumours with axillary lymph node metastases, and 83.2% of the cohort were alive at 5 years. ER+ tumours appeared to have a better 5-year survival: ER+/HER2– 86.3%, ER+/HER2+ 88.5%, ER–/HER2+ 71.4%, and triple-negative (ER–/HER2–) 70.8%. However, neither the log-rank test nor the Cox regression model found a significant effect of ER status and long-term survival (P = 0.485 and P = 0.158 respectively).

Discussion
Young patients with breast cancer have a lower 5-year survival than the UK average for all ages, and patients in this single-centre study with ER+ tumours appeared to have better short-term but similar longer-term outcomes compared to ER– breast cancer.
Self-assembly of zinc 3-hydroxymethyl chlorophyll derivatives esterified with different linear alcohols in deep eutectic solvents
Authors: Saga Yoshitaka , Okamoto Ko 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Self-aggregation of Zn 3-hydroxymethyl chlorophyll (Chl) derivatives esterified with different linear alcohols at the 17-propionate residue was investigated in choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The derivatives esterified with longer alcohols were self-assembled like bacteriochlorophylls in chlorosomes of green photosynthetic bacteria. The physicochemical properties of DESs affected the self-aggregation behaviors of Zn 3-hydroxymethyl Chl derivatives.

Abstract

Aims
Cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation is the current ablation treatment for typical atrial flutter (AFL). However, post-ablation atrial tachyarrhythmias, mostly in the form of atrial fibrillation (AF), are frequently observed after CTI ablation. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of concomitant or isolated pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with typical AFL scheduled for ablation.

Methods and results
Electronic databases (PubMED, EMBASE, Clinicaltrials.gov) were searched through July, 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were eligible if comparing PVI ± CTI ablation vs. CTI alone. The primary outcomes were any sustained atrial arrhythmia, typical AFL relapse, and AF. Secondary outcomes were need for redo-ablation or antiarrhythmic drugs. Random-effects and fixed-effects meta-analyses were undertaken for each individual outcome. Seven RCTs, with a total of 902 patients, were included. Comparing to CTI ablation alone, PVI ± CTI was more effective in preventing atrial tachyarrhythmias [risk ratio (RR) = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.41–0.79, P = 0.0007, I2 = 50%, number needed to treat (NNT) = 4.1]. The results were driven mainly by a reduction of new onset/recurrent AF (RR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.27–0.61, P &lt; 0.0001, I2 = 0%, NNT = 3.3), whereas there were no differences in typical AFL relapse (RR = 1.52, 95% CI: 0.63–3.66, P = 0.35, I2 = 9%). Major complication rate was low and comparable across groups, although uncomplicated pericardial effusion was higher in PVI ± CTI (1.8% vs. 0.0%, P = 0.04). Results were comparable for the sub-analysis of PVI alone vs. CTI ablation.

Conclusion
In patients with typical AFL, PVI ± CTI ablation is more effective than CTI alone in reducing the atrial tachyarrhythmias and subsequent AF during follow-up, without affecting major complications rate. These results set the rationale for a well-designed, larger-scale RCT comparing both strategies.

Abstract
T cell receptors (TCRs) serve key roles in the adaptive immune system by enabling recognition and response to pathogens and irregular cells. Various methods have been developed for TCR construction from single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets, each with its unique characteristics. Yet, a comprehensive evaluation of their relative performance under different conditions remains elusive. In this study, we conducted a benchmark analysis utilizing experimental single-cell immune profiling datasets. Additionally, we introduced a novel simulator, YASIM-scTCR (Yet Another SIMulator for single-cell TCR), capable of generating scTCR-seq reads containing diverse TCR-derived sequences with different sequencing depths and read lengths. Our results consistently showed that TRUST4 and MiXCR outperformed others across multiple datasets, while DeRR demonstrated considerable accuracy. We also discovered that the sequencing depth inherently imposes a critical constraint on successful TCR construction from scRNA-seq data. In summary, we present a benchmark study to aid researchers in choosing the appropriate method for reconstructing TCRs from scRNA-seq data.
Determination of optimal move-on distance for trawl encounters with vulnerable marine ecosystems
Authors: Rowden Ashley A , Anderson Owen F , Stephenson Fabrice , Geange Shane W , Milardi Marco 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) use ‘move-on’ rules as one way to manage impacts to vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs). In response to a proposal to change the move-on distance from 1 to 5 nm for the South Pacific RFMO, we simulated trawl encounters using historical trawl data and information on the modelled size and spatial clustering of VME habitat to determine the optimal move-on distance for meeting conservation objectives while not placing undue burden on fishing operators. Our analyses found that predicted VME habitat patches were typically small, highly clustered, and rarely encountered by the trawl tows. When simulated encounters did occur, move-on distances of 1 nm and 5 nm avoided 73% and 80% of additional encounters with VMEs, respectively. Analysis of the impact on the fishery showed that increasing the move-on distance from 1 to 5 nm would potentially result in up to an additional 53%, 23%, and 9% area reduction of the trawl footprint, seamount, and management area used and accessible to the fishery, respectively. Our analysis demonstrates that, despite typical data limitations for VME indicator bycatch, it is possible using simulation analysis to assess the efficacy of current move-on distances used by RFMOs.

Abstract
Coastal Antarctic ecosystems feature long periods of sea ice cover, strong seasonality in primary production, and low biodiversity relative to marginal ice zone regions. There are few records of annual cycles of biodiversity and abundance of neritic Antarctic zooplankton, limiting the ability to predict how communities will respond to environmental change. Using a historical data set, we assess the annual cycle of primary production and zooplankton abundance in relation to the growth cycle of fast ice near Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica. Zooplankton abundance and biodiversity were high during the productive summer months, generally showing a lag behind peaks in chlorophyll a concentration. A total of 27 taxa were recorded from the water column, while only three species were recorded from the sea ice, apart from incidental occurrences. Copepods dominated the system throughout the year, especially in the non-productive season, with a small number of species contributing to overall abundance, including Paralabidocera antarctica, Oithona similis, and Oncaea curvata. The abundance of fauna living within the brine channel system was very high, although biodiversity was low relative to the water column. To survive the winter, the copepods employed a combination of life history strategies, including strong association with the fast ice habitat, synchronicity with the spring phytoplankton bloom, and dietary switching in winter. Complementary strategies, such as lipid storage and advection to and from deeper offshore waters, were also observed.
