Infinitely many new renormalization group flows between Virasoro minimal models from non-invertible symmetries
Authors: Nakayama Yu , Tanaka Takahiro 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Based on the study of non-invertible symmetries, we propose there exist infinitely many new renormalization group flows between Virasoro minimal models $$ \mathcal{M} $$
M
(kq + I, q) →$$ \mathcal{M} $$
M
(kq – I, q) induced by ϕ(1,2k+1). They vastly generalize the previously proposed ones k = I = 1 by Zamolodchikov, k = 1, I > 1 by Ahn and Lässig, and k = 2 by Dorey et al. All the other ℤ2 preserving renormalization group flows sporadically known in the literature (e.g. $$ \mathcal{M} $$
M
(10, 3) → $$ \mathcal{M} $$
M
(8, 3) studied by Klebanov et al) fall into our proposal (e.g. k = 3, I = 1). We claim our new flows give a complete understanding of the renormalization group flows between Virasoro minimal models that preserve a modular tensor category with the SU(2)q−2 fusion ring.

Abstract
Objective
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have been successfully used in the maxilla. However, in the mandible, lower success rates present a challenge in everyday clinical practice. A new TAD design will be presented that is intended to demonstrate optimization of the coupling structure as well as in the thread area for use in the mandible.

Methods
Three TADs were examined: (A) Aarhus® system (68.99.33 A, Medicon, Tuttlingen, Germany), (B) BENEfit® orthodontic screw (ST-33-54209; PSM Medical, Gunningen, Germany) and (C) a new design with a two-part screw thread. The TADs were inserted into artificial bone blocks after predrilling to test primary stability. To test the fracture stability, the TADs were embedded in Technovit® 4004 (Heraeus Kulzer, Wehrheim, Germany) and torsional loaded at an angle of 90° until fracture. The threshold torque values occurring were recorded digitally. The statistical evaluation was carried out using the Kruskal–Wallis test with a post hoc test according to Bonferroni (p < 0.05).

Results
The following values were measured for the insertion torque: A: 33.7 ± 3.3 Ncm; B: 57.1 ± 8.4 Ncm; C: 34.2 ± 1.4 Ncm. There were significant differences between A–B and B–C. The measured values for the fracture strength were as follows: A: 46.7 ± 3.5 Ncm; B: 64.2 ± 5.1 Ncm; C: 55.4 ± 5.1 Ncm. Significant differences were found between all groups.

Conclusion
The adapted screw design has no negative influence on primary and fracture stability. Whether the design has a positive effect on the success rates in the mandible must be clarified in further clinical studies.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
On September 5th, 2024, Werner Nachtigall (born July 6, 1934) passed away. Nachtigall is a pioneer in biomechanics, a founder of biomimetics (bionics), and a relentless advocate for his field in Germany. He conducted broad-ranging and innovative work on biomechanics in insects, birds, and fishes. He developed elaborate technical methods, such as sensitive scales, wind-tunnels, and high-speed photography. The research he performed at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich (dissertation and habilitation) and especially as a full professor at the Saarland-University in Saarbrücken focused on the biophysics of swimming in insects, and flight in both insects and birds. He set new standards for kinematic, aerodynamic, energetic, and cybernetic investigations. With his team, he continued to expand his biological and technical interests, ranging from the biomechanics of fish locomotion to the mechanics of biological light weight structures. With Werner Nachtigall we lost a talented scientist, a dedicated teacher, an enthusiastic naturalist, and a highly productive author.

Authors: Yabe Yutaka , Ishikawa Keisuke , Kurosawa Daisuke , Murakami Eiichi , Aizawa Toshimi 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Purpose
Destructive spondyloarthropathy (DSA) is a serious complication of long-term haemodialysis; it commonly occurs in the cervical spine and has been investigated in cervical lesions. Although DSA of the lumbar spine has been reported, only few studies have investigated this, and the characteristics of patients with lumbar DSA are unclear. The present study aimed to elucidate the prevalence of DSA and its clinical characteristics in patients with DSA in the lumbar spine using computed tomography (CT) images of the patients who underwent lumbar spine surgery.

Methods
Consecutive patients undergoing haemodialysis who underwent lumbar spine surgery (n = 67) were assessed. DSA was diagnosed using CT images, and the patients were divided into non-DSA and DSA groups. The differences in the clinical characteristics of the patients in the two groups were analysed.

Results
The prevalence of patients diagnosed with DSA was 31.3%. The mean intra- and inter-observer kappa values of DSA classification using CT images were 0.68 and 0.53, respectively. Although there were no significant differences in the age, sex, body mass index, reason for lumbar surgery, disease causing haemodialysis, age at the start of haemodialysis, or duration of haemodialysis between the non-DSA and DSA groups, the duration of haemodialysis tended to be longer in the DSA group.

Conclusion
Among patients on haemodialysis who underwent lumbar spine surgery, the prevalence of patients with DSA was 31.3%. Classification of DSA using CT showed moderate-to-substantial agreement. Patients with DSA tended to have a longer haemodialysis duration.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The common cuckoo Cuculus canorus is an obligate brood parasite of many Eurasian bird species that exploit the parental care of their hosts. Although only females lay eggs in nests of passerine hosts, male and female cuckoos should cooperate to have a success in nest parasitism. Many bird species mobbing cuckoos as an element of deterrence of cuckoos from the breeding territory of the host. However, mobbing behaviour is costly, although only cuckoo females pose a threat to the dangers of the host. Because only the presence of a female cuckoo is dangerous, due to laying eggs in the nests of hosts, birds should mainly attack cuckoo females. Therefore, we tested for differences in anti-parasite response using field experiments with female and male cuckoo dummies, in 92 breeding sites with prime habitats in Poland. tested for differences in cuckoo responses in anti-parasite response using field experiments and cuckoo dummies (male and female) placed at 92 breeding sites with prime habitats in Poland. The host species that behaved most aggressively towards cuckoos was the barn swallow Hirundo rustica, while the most aggressive behaviour recorded in the non-host group was the great tit Parus major. Generally, host species reacted to cuckoo female dummies with a significantly higher probability than cuckoo males dummies. We conclude that differences in reaction by hosts and non-hosts may have arisen from selection for recognition of danger (parasite female) by reduction of reproductive success.
Always Relevant? Finding a Place for the Social Sciences in the Technical University and the Business School
Authors: Irwin Alan , Horst Maja 
Published: November 2024

AbstractRelevance with regard to the social sciences can be presented as a new imposition from external stakeholders and an obligation imposed upon the individual researcher. As an alternative approach, we place relevance in a larger institutional but also historical perspective. Taking the case of two non-traditional locations for the social sciences, we suggest that ‘relevance’ has been actively constitutive of both institutions from the beginning—even if the definition and practice of relevance have been matters of discussion, change and contestation. In what we describe as a process of multi-layering, relevance has over time accumulated new meanings which can co-exist with older concerns. It follows that, even when universities express a commitment to relevance, the enactment of that commitment will be open to competing interpretations. Our account identifies an element of circularity as old issues return in new form. We also note that both the institutional past and organizational complexity can be overlooked within contemporary discussions. Relevance is not a static concept around which critical debate then circulates. Its contextuality, case-specificity and multi-dimensionality make it difficult to impose from above. Nevertheless, the shifting construction of its meaning and enactment provokes questions about the identity and purpose of both the social sciences and the universities.
Fiscal and macroprudential policies in a monetary union
Authors: Boscá José E. , Ferri Javier , Rubio Margarita 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn the European Monetary Union (EMU), monetary policy is determined by the European Central Bank (ECB). This arrangement can give rise to certain national economic imbalances that may potentially be addressed through national policies. Traditionally, fiscal policy has been the primary tool to correct these imbalances. However, following the global financial crisis (GFC), a new policy tool has emerged: national macroprudential policies, which aim to mitigate financial risks. This situation raises an intriguing research question: How do macroprudential and fiscal policies interact? Through their influence on real interest rates and economic activity, discretionary macroprudential policies can impact the trajectory of public debt and may necessitate fiscal adjustments, such as tax rate increases, to stabilize the public debt-to-GDP ratio. In a monetary union, a domestic macroprudential shock generates significant cross-border financial effects and also influences the fiscal stance of foreign countries. Furthermore, discretionary government spending policies have an impact on housing prices and households debt. Therefore, the responsiveness of macroprudential policy to changes in housing prices affects the fiscal multiplier.
Indicator species of former lead (Pb) ore mining areas
Authors: Podgórska Monika 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe main objective of this study was to determine whether species that are considered to be indicator species for former iron ore mining areas also have value as indicators for remnants of former lead ore mining areas. The study was conducted at an abandoned post-mining field dating from the sixteenth century with visible remains from the exploitation of lead ore deposits (post-mining mounds, PMM). In each of the 41 plots (21 on PMM and 21 in the surroundings of PMM), an inventory was conducted of all vascular plants growing in the vegetation layer indicating both their coverage in percent and analyzing them based on indicator species for former iron mining sites. Additionally, soil samples were taken from each, and chemical analyses were done: pH in H2O; contents of Ca, and Pb; and available forms of K, P, and Mg. Changes in the chemical properties of the soil impacted the diversity of the flora of the analyzed area. In the 21 research plots established on the PMM of the former lead ore mining area, as many as 18 species of mesophilic deciduous forest considered to be indicator species for former iron mining areas were identified. The analyses conducted indicate a strong preference for these species for the soil occurring on the lead PMM. Indicator species for former iron mining areas can also be a good indicator for former lead ore mining areas.

Abstract
Background
Classic teaching in neurocritical care is to avoid jugular access for central venous catheterization (CVC) because of a presumed risk of increasing intracranial pressure (ICP). Limited data exist to test this hypothesis. Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) leads to diffuse cerebral edema and often requires external ventricular drains (EVDs), which provide direct ICP measurements. Here, we test whether CVC access site correlates with ICP measurements and catheter-associated complications in patients with aSAH.

Methods
In a single-center retrospective cohort study, patients with aSAH admitted to Emory University Hospital between January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2020, were included. Patients were assigned by the access site of the first CVC placed. The subset of patients with an EVD were further studied. ICP measurements were analyzed using linear mixed effect models, with a binary comparison between internal-jugular (IJ) versus non-IJ access.

Results
A total of 1577 patients were admitted during the study period with CVC access: subclavian (SC) (887, 56.2%), IJ (365, 23.1%), femoral (72, 4.6%), and peripheral inserted central catheter (PICC) (253, 16.0%). Traumatic pneumothorax was the most common with SC access (3.0%, p < 0.01). Catheter-associated infections did not differ between sites. Catheter-associated deep venous thrombosis was most common in femoral (8.3%) and PICC (3.6%) access (p < 0.05). A total of 1220 patients had an EVD, remained open by default, generating 351,462 ICP measurements. ICP measurements, as compared over the first 24–postinsertion hours and the next 10 days, were similar between the two groups. Subgroup analysis accounting for World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grade on presentation yielded similar results.

Conclusions
Contrary to classic teaching, we find that IJ CVC placement was not associated with increased ICP in the clinical context of the largest, quantitative data set to date. Further, IJ access was the least likely to be associated with an access-site complication when compared with SC, femoral, and PICC. Together, these data support the safety, and perhaps preference, of ultrasound-guided IJ venous catheterization in neurocritically ill patients.
How Does Network Media Affect the Efficiency of Emergency Response During Natural Disaster Process?
Authors: Zhao Yujie , Shi Yijun 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This paper delves into the influence of network media on the efficacy of emergency response during natural disasters. Given the frequent occurrence of disasters that pose significant risks to urban areas, effective emergency response mechanisms are paramount. Leveraging the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model, this study assesses disaster response efficiency by analyzing network information. It explores the distinct characteristics of disaster response across different types of natural disasters and their various occurrence stages. To this end, three emblematic disasters are chosen for empirical analysis: the 2021 Zhengzhou heavy rainstorm, the 2022 Super Typhoon Chaba, and the 2022 Luding earthquake. Our findings reveal disparities in response efficiency among these disaster types, with Zhengzhou’s rainstorm response demonstrating the highest efficiency, followed by the Super Typhoon Chaba, and the Luding earthquake yielding the lowest efficiency. Furthermore, this study meticulously discusses the pivotal factors that shape response efficiency, encompassing government decision-making, emergency rescue operations, and social assistance. By pinpointing optimal response strategies tailored to distinct disaster stages, this paper underscores its contribution toward augmenting disaster response efficiency and fostering urban safety and disaster preparedness.
Chemokines Signature and T Cell Dynamics in Leishmaniasis: Molecular Insight and Therapeutic Application
Authors: Upadhyay Shreya , Kumar Shashi , Singh Vishal Kumar , Tiwari Rahul , Kumar Awnish , Sundar Shyam , Kumar Rajiv 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Leishmaniasis, caused by obligate intracellular Leishmania parasites, poses a significant global health burden. The control of Leishmania infection relies on an effective T cell-dependent immune response; however, various factors impede the host’s ability to mount a successful defence. Alterations in the chemokine profile, responsible for cell trafficking to the infection site, can disrupt optimal immune responses and influence the outcome of pathogenesis by facilitating parasite persistence. This review aims to emphasize the significance of the chemokine system in T cell responses and to summarize the current knowledge on the dysregulation of chemokines and their receptors associated with different subsets of T lymphocytes during Leishmaniasis. A comprehensive understanding of the dynamic nature of the chemokine system during Leishmaniasis is crucial for the development of successful immunotherapeutic approaches.
Quantum wreath products and Schur–Weyl duality I
Authors: Lai Chun-Ju , Nakano Daniel K. , Xiang Ziqing 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this paper, the authors introduce a new notion called the quantum wreath product, which is the algebra

$B \wr _Q \mathcal {H}(d)$

produced from a given algebra B, a positive integer d and a choice

$Q=(R,S,\rho ,\sigma )$

of parameters. Important examples that arise from our construction include many variants of the Hecke algebras, such as the Ariki–Koike algebras, the affine Hecke algebras and their degenerate version, Wan–Wang’s wreath Hecke algebras, Rosso–Savage’s (affine) Frobenius Hecke algebras, Kleshchev–Muth’s affine zigzag algebras and the Hu algebra that quantizes the wreath product

$\Sigma _m \wr \Sigma _2$

between symmetric groups.
In the first part of the paper, the authors develop a structure theory for the quantum wreath products. Necessary and sufficient conditions for these algebras to afford a basis of suitable size are obtained. Furthermore, a Schur–Weyl duality is established via a splitting lemma and mild assumptions on the base algebra B. Our uniform approach encompasses many known results which were proved in a case by case manner. The second part of the paper involves the problem of constructing natural subalgebras of Hecke algebras that arise from wreath products. Moreover, a bar-invariant basis of the Hu algebra via an explicit formula for its extra generator is also described.
Topological structures of large-scale interacting systems via uniform functions and forms
Authors: Bannai Kenichi , Kametani Yukio , Sasada Makiko 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this article, we investigate the topological structure of large-scale interacting systems on infinite graphs, by constructing a suitable cohomology which we call the uniform cohomology. The central idea for the construction is the introduction of a class of functions called uniform functions. Uniform cohomology provides a new perspective for the identification of macroscopic observables from the microscopic system. As a straightforward application of our theory when the underlying graph has a free action of a group, we prove a certain decomposition theorem for shift-invariant closed uniform forms. This result is a uniform version in a very general setting of the decomposition result for shift-invariant closed

$L^2$

-forms originally proposed by Varadhan, which has repeatedly played a key role in the proof of the hydrodynamic limits of nongradient large-scale interacting systems. In a subsequent article, we use this result as a key to prove Varadhan’s decomposition theorem for a general class of large-scale interacting systems.

Integrative taxonomy approach to the study of parasitic ergasilids (Cyclopoida: Ergasilidae) of fishes from the Pardo River, Brazil with a redescription of Rhinergasilus piranhus Boeger and Thatcher, 1988 and a molecular phylogeny for Ergasilidae

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Brazil has the richest biodiversity of Ergasilidae on Earth, with 76 species in 19 genera. However, several authors suggested that there is still great potential for discoveries, especially regarding genetic data that are still scarce for ergasilids from this region. To expand our knowledge of this taxon, we conducted an integrative study involving morphological (light and scanning electron microscopy) and molecular analyses of ergasilids from fishes sampled in the Pardo River, São Paulo State, Brazil. Two ergasilid species were found, Gamispatulus schizodontis and Rhinergasilus piranhus parasitizing the nostrils of 5 fish species (native and exotic): (i) R. piranhus from Astyanax lacustris; Cyphocharax modestus; Coptodon rendalli; Psalidodon bockmanni; and (ii) G. schizodontis from Serrasalmus maculatus. Additionally, we redescribed R. piranhus herein based on novelties and discrepancies found in the antennules, antennae, body segments and ornamentation of the swimming legs. Novel molecular data of ribosomal (18S and 28S rDNA) and/or mitochondrial (cox 1) genes were provided for both species and the phylogenetic relationships among the ergasilids were tested. Relationships between species/genera are still uncertain in Ergasilidae, but it was possible to verify the formation of 5 well-supported terminal clades – i.e. including a clade formed only by Neotropical species. More molecular data are needed to test this hypothesis, but the clades observed here represent good targets for future taxonomic revisions. The occurrence of R. piranhus specimens in the introduced fish, Co. rendalli can indicate (for the first time) host switching in this parasite species and spillback from native to introduced hosts.
