We performed a Bayesian fit of the experimental data to three nuclear models (IBFM-2, MQPM and NSM) allowing the reconstruction of the spectral shape as well as the half-life. The fit has two free parameters, one of which is the effective weak axial-vector coupling constant, $$g_A^{\text {eff}}$$

Electron-mirror duality and thermality
Authors: Ievlev Evgenii , Good Michael R. R. , Davies Paul C. W. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractClassical electromagnetic radiation from moving point charges is foundational, but the thermal dynamics responsible for classical acceleration temperature are poorly understood. We investigate the thermal properties of classical electromagnetic radiation in the context of the correspondence between accelerated electrons and moving mirrors, focusing on three trajectories with asymptotically infinite (Davies–Fulling), asymptotically zero (Walker–Davies), and eternally uniform acceleration. The latter two are argued not to be thermal, while the former is found to emit thermal photons with a temperature that depends on the electron’s speed. Thermal radiation occurs in the absence of jerk.
Study of wormhole stability in the framework of black hole surrounded by the pseudo-isothermal dark matter halo
Authors: Javed Faisal , Waseem Arfa , Fatima Ghulam , Almutairi Bander 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis work is devoted to exploring the formation and stability of thin-shell wormholes developed through the two similar copies of black holes bounded by the pseudo-isothermal dark matter halo. It is found that the horizon radius of a black hole decreases in the appearance of a pseudo-isothermal dark matter halo. The primary goal of the work is to investigate the stable composition of such wormholes using the analysis of linearized radial perturbation. It is worth mentioning that the existence of a pseudo-isothermal dark matter halo reduces the violation of energy bounds for the developed thin-shell wormholes. We investigate the impact of variable equations of state, such as barotropic, variable Chaplygin, and phantom-like equations of state, on the stability of the wormholes. The inquiry highlights that the appearance of a pseudo-isothermal dark matter halo portrays remarkable importance in preserving the stable compositions of thin-shell wormholes. The wormholes show maximal stable conduct for the selection of pseudo-isothermal dark matter halo as compared to already published research charged as well as regular thin-shell wormholes. The results reveal light on the interplay between wormholes and pseudo-isothermal dark matter halo, which increases our understanding of both conjectures and their potential implications for further space travel.
Camptodactyly
Authors: TAKAGI Takehiko 
Published: November 2024

Camptodactyly is a congenital difference with flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. Camptodactyly limited to one finger is believed to be due to an anomaly of the lumbrical muscle that inserts into the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) tendon instead of the extensor expansion, whereas multiple finger camptodactyly is believed to be a result of shortage of soft tissues on the flexor surface of the fingers. It is important to differentiate camptodactyly from other causes of extension lag at the PIP joint. It is difficult to obtain good results after the release of flexion contractures in camptodactyly. The main goal of surgery is to prevent progressive contracture with appropriate postoperative therapy using night splinting and stretching. We should strive for a considered approach based on a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of camptodactyly. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic)

Published: November 2024

Background: Dysfunctions of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis can trigger multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms. Mood disorders comorbid with MS are implicated in the HPA axis activation in most people with MS (pwMS). This study purposed to examine salivary cortisol (SC) levels and their association with mood disorders in pwMS.Methods: Forty‐three men as pwMS and sixteen men as healthy controls (HC) were included in this study. pwMS and HC completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), 36‐Item Short Form Survey (SF‐36), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaires. SC levels were also measured in pwMS and HC. A linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and mood disorders and SC levels. Pearson’s or Spearman’s tests examined the correlation between SC levels and mood disorders.Results: The SC level, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and stress were significantly higher in pwMS than in HC (p < 0.05). pwMS also showed significant correlations between SC levels and role physical (r = 0.3, p < 0.05) and emotional (r = 0.34, p < 0.05) in SF‐36. Among SF‐36 domains, only general health (β = −0.72, p < 0.05) and physical functioning (β = −1.61, p < 0.05) were negatively associated with disease duration. No correlation was found between SC levels and anxiety, depression, and fatigue (p > 0.05).Conclusions: The pwMS showed mild to moderate depression, anxiety, and fatigue. Only general health and physical functioning as aspects of quality of life were related to disease duration, while SC levels, mood disorders, and other quality‐of‐life domains were not associated with clinical characteristics. Also, this study failed to find a significant role for SC as a valuable marker in approaching mood disorders in pwMS.
Long-term changes in the French fisheries for crustaceans in the Eastern English Channel: 1901 to 2020
Authors: Amelot Morgane , Schlaich Ivan , Foucher Eric 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Small-scale crustacean fisheries in the English Channel have existed for centuries but have never been formally assessed; hence, concerns about their ecological and socio-economic sustainability could be raised. This study explores trends in this fishery’s landings from 1901 to 2021, based on historical and recent landings data in two of the main administrative fishing divisions of the area, Cherbourg and Boulogne-sur-Mer quartiers. Crustacean fisheries were reported for both divisions from the beginning to the end of the time period considered, demonstrating that a dedicated crustacean fishery existed in the area since at least the 20th century. The species composition of the crustacean’s catch (e.g., edible crab, Cancer pagurus Linnaeus, 1758; European lobster, Homarus gammarus (Linnaeus, 1758); European spider crab, Maja brachydactyla Balss, 1922) was almost impossible to track before the 2000s. Important fluctuations were observed in catch volume reports along time that might be related to two phenomena: technological advances that would have improved the fishery performances and the decline of some previously targeted species that might have led to a transfer in fishing effort.

On the identities of Parapleurophrycoides roseus Nobili, 1906 and Platyozius perpusillus Nobili, 1906 (Decapoda, Brachyura): Two problematic French Polynesian species described from juveniles
Authors: Ng Peter K. L. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The identities of three brachyuran taxa, Parapleurophrycoides, Parapleurophrycoides roseus and Platyozius perpusillus, newly established by Nobili (1906a) are clarified. The new genus and new species descriptions were based on juveniles from Marutea South in French Polynesia, consequently their taxonomy has been problematic. The only known illustration of Parapleurophrycoides roseus by Nobili (1906b) is small and schematic, while Platyozius perpusillus has never been figured. While various authors have speculated on their taxonomy, others just treat them as nomina dubia. The present study re-examines and figures the types of the two species. While the specimens are small and in poor condition, there are nevertheless enough characters to clearly indicate their familial assignment. Parapleurophrycoides (and its type species, Parapleurophrycoides roseus) is here shown to be closely allied to Viaderiana Ward, 1942, in the Pilumnidae Samouelle, 1819; while Platyozius perpusillus is assigned to the Chlorodiellinae Ng & Holthuis, 2007, in the Xanthidae MacLeay, 1838, although it is not possible to place it in any known genus.
Contemporary Issues of Arbitration under UAE Law
Authors: Masadeh Aymen K. , Alozn Ahmed 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper aims to discuss controversial issues encountered by arbitral tribunals assigned to decide a particular dispute under UAE law. These issues are mainly related to preserving principles of competence-competence and separability, which might adversely affect the validity of the procedures undertaken by arbitral tribunals or the validity of final awards rendered by an arbitral tribunal. The aforementioned problematic scenarios can be noted in the context of the formation of arbitral tribunal, ordering interim, arbitration costs and waiver of arbitration agreement. The study will deploy qualitative legal method, through which an analytical approach will be applied on the UAE Arbitration Law and Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) Rules in order to illuminate the gaps in both sets that may affect the evidential value of the procedures undertaken in the context of the abovementioned issues. This paper concluded with a set of suggestions aimed at filling the gaps observed in the UAE arbitration Law and DIAC Rules in terms of the aforementioned issues.
Japan’s Society 5.0 and the Organizational Vision of ‘Human-Centric’ AI
Authors: Humphrey David 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article examines the Japanese government’s Society 5.0 initiative and its intersection with surveillance based on artificial intelligence (AI). Announced in 2019, Society 5.0 seeks to leverage AI to address Japan’s aging population and other social issues. I examine government documents on the initiative and an example of a smart city project that implements the Society 5.0 vision and, in doing so, highlight a tension between its architects’ proclaimed commitment to socially responsible, ‘human-centric’ uses of AI and the frequent ambiguity of their invocations of the technology. I argue that this lack of a clear definition of AI forestalls an interrogation of the expansive surveillance infrastructure that the initiative would entail. Examining Society 5.0 and its proposed infrastructure, I reveal a schema of digital surveillance and control best characterized as organizational in nature, as it seeks to monitor and coordinate movements, interactions, and behaviours.
Scholarship Across Borders: Thomas Savile’s Translation of Geminus’s Phaenomena
Authors: Philo John-Mark 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Travelling between the libraries and scholarly coteries of continental Europe (1588–91), Thomas Savile, mathematician and humanist, undertook a translation of Geminus’s Phaenomena, an introduction to astronomy dating from the first century bce. Savile began his translation at Breslau, at the home of Andreas Dudith, and continued to edit his Latin prose at the vast private library of Gian Vincenzo Pinelli at Padua. Here Savile accessed another translation of Geminus, namely Abraham de Balmes’ Latin translation of a Hebrew translation of an Arabic translation of the Greek original. It was through this version and its rich textual history that Savile was able to make some ingenious emendations to the Greek. Savile’s translation was thus a product not only of the rich network of scholars and libraries he was able to access on the Continent, but also of an enduring engagement in northern Italy with Arabic and Hebrew scholarship in Latin translation.

Published: November 2024

Background Malignancy in pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) is rare, with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) being the most common type. This study aims to assess the incidence of malignancy in PSD and identify risk factors to guide more targeted pathological examination strategies. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1505 patients who underwent surgical excision of PSD between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2023. Patients with incomplete or missing histopathological data were excluded, and no imputation methods were used for missing data. All specimens underwent histopathological examination to detect malignancies. Results Two cases (0.13%) of SCC were identified, both in males aged 50 and 58 years without a history of Crohn’s disease, HIV, prior radiation, or other cancers. Significant risk factors for malignancy included age over 40 years (OR 3.2, 95% CI 1.1-9.5) and disease duration over 3 years (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.0-7.6). Both cases were treated surgically and received adjuvant radiotherapy, with both patients being disease-free at the 2-year follow-up. Conclusion While malignancy in PSD is rare (0.13%), older age and prolonged disease duration are associated with increased risk. Selective pathological examination based on these risk factors could enhance cost-effectiveness by reducing unnecessary routine examinations.

Published: November 2024

This study examines the separate and joint effects of potential factors of fake news dissemination. A sample of 359 Romanian participants (61.3% female), aged between 18-79 years (M = 45.01; SD = 15.69) filled questionnaires assessing their perceptions of conflict between European Union (EU) and Ukraine; fake news sharing, and various socio-demographic data. Our results revealed that the behaviour of sharing fake news is positively associated with age and more prevalent in men. Also, people who perceive a conflict between EU and Ukraine and thus suspect that behind the EU’s consistent support for Ukraine lies a hidden interest are more inclined to spread fake news. In the female group, age was found to moderate the relationship between perceptions of conflict between EU and Ukraine and fake news sharing. We also discuss the relevance of our findings for public communication efforts aiming to mitigate the dissemination of fake news.

Published: November 2024

Objective Insomnia is characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying sleep, or both. Aromatherapy is a commonly used complementary and alternative medicine practice by persons with insomnia. Previous studies have shown that use of chamomile oil during massage therapy improves the quality of sleep (QoS). However, to our knowledge, no randomized controlled trials have examined the effects of chamomile oil inhalation on the treatment of insomnia. The present study evaluated the effect of chamomile oil inhalation on QoS and insomnia severity in persons with insomnia. Methods A total of 80-participants ages 18-35 with insomnia were randomly allocated to aromatherapy group (AG; n = 40) or a control group (CG; n = 40). Those in the AG group received chamomile oil inhalation, while those in the CG engaged in their normal routine for 10 minutes a day, daily for 15 days. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were administered before and after the intervention. Results Within-group analysis showed a significant reduction both in PSQI and ISI scores among those in the AG ( P < 0.001 for both scores), whereas the CG reported a significant reduction in PSQI score ( P = 0.033) and no significant changes in ISI score ( P = 0.068). The between groups analysis after the intervention demonstrated a significant reduction in PSQI and ISI scores in the AG group ( P < 0.001 for both) compared to the CG. No participant in either group reported adverse events during or after the study. Conclusion Fifteen days of chamomile oil inhalation before bedtime reduced insomnia severity and enhanced the quality of sleep for young adults suffering from insomnia. Further studies are needed to replicate the results of this study using an active control group.
Personality Dimension, Suicidal Intent, and Lethality: A Cross-sectional Study of Suicide Attempters with or Without Personality Disorders
Authors: Sahoo Amruti , Swain Sarada Prasanna , Kar Nilamadhab 
Published: November 2024

Background: Although personality disorders (PD) are known risk factors for suicide attempts, studies on personality dimension are scarce, which may provide further insights for interventions. Methods: The relationship between personality dimension, lethality, intent, and quality of life (QOL) was studied in suicide attempters with or without PD. We used the international personality disorder examination (IPDE) dimensional score, the scale for assessment of lethality of suicide attempt (SALSA), suicide intent scale (SIS), and WHOQOL-BREF QOL scale, to assess a sample of suicide attempters admitted to a general hospital. Results: PD was present in 43.2% and 57.9% of them had more than one PD. Comparison of attempters with or without PD suggested that the lethality of attempts and QOL were comparable, whereas self-reported suicide intent was significantly low in patients with PD. A higher proportion of PD patients reported relational problems as the reason for the attempt. The personality dimensional score was significantly higher for female attempters from urban backgrounds than for those with previous attempt histories. It was negatively correlated with the lethality of attempts and suicide intent. Conclusion: It is important to explore the personality dimension of the suicide attempters, along with PD, that may highlight additional risks and suggest the need for specific support.
Mastectomy Surgical Recommendations for Female-to-Male Transgender Patients, and a Discussion of Gender-Affirming Care for Gender-Dysphoric Adolescents
Authors: Gupta Aneesh , Marvel Jeffrey 
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Subcutaneous mastectomy (top surgery) in female-to-male patients is one of the most common procedures gender-dysphoric patients will undergo in order to live as their desired gender. Procedure: By consistently using the technique described in this article, surgeons can achieve consistent and aesthetically pleasing results. Complications are rare, but it is important to inform the patient that there may be issues related to bleeding, infection, wound healing, nipple necrosis (if using a graft), or dog ears. Discussion: Multiple states in the United States are seeking to ban this type of care and are even attempting to restrict health care for adults. These bans are being enacted despite carefully researched and written guidelines from major international organizations. By following these guidelines, physicians can provide safe and evidence-based care to adolescents. Conclusion: The evidence conclusively demonstrates that providing gender-affirming care to patients of all ages improves their mental health, reduces rates of depression, and decreases the risk of suicide.
Can Different Corporate Social Responsibility Expenditure Impact Reputation of a Company Differently?
Authors: Baruah Loopamudra , Panda Nagari Mohan 
Published: November 2024

Purpose: This article aims to examine the impact of different corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenditures on the reputation of a company. Design/methodology/approach: The article develops four hypotheses that are tested empirically through the Panel Corrected Standard Error model (PCSE). The study constitutes a sample of 100 Indian BSE-listed companies between 2015 and 2020. Findings: The findings provide an interesting observation about the relationship shared between CSR expenditure and its impact on the reputation of a company. Also, from the context of the triple bottom line (TBL), when CSR expenditure was segregated into economic, social, and environmental expenses it was found that only social expenditure impacts reputation significantly. Managerial implications: The companies’ priority should be to practice CSR with the motive of benefiting society. Parallel to this, the company may find the right balance of resource allocation for spending in CSR activities that might help the company achieve a higher reputational position. Originality/value: As per the authors’ knowledge, there is scarce literature exploring the relationship between CSR expenditure and corporate reputation in emerging markets like India. This research is integral as it would encourage companies to integrate CSR expenditures into their business strategy in such a way that it may give a boost to their current reputation status and bring along with itself many benefits to the company as discussed in the literature. This article is incremental to the existing literature by examining these topics in an emerging country. This exploration provides a glance into the present scenario of an emerging economy.
