ABSTRACT

Introduction
The U.S. Military Health System (MHS) transitioned to the ICD-10-CM coding scheme in October 2015 and began the phased rollout of a new electronic health record system, MHS GENESIS, in October 2017. Both changes have the potential to affect the observed prevalence and health care utilization associated with musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs) in service members. The purpose of this article was to (1) determine the effect of the ICD-10-CM transition on the observed prevalence of select MSKI conditions and (2) describe MSKI-related health care utilization in four MTFs during the adoption of MHS GENESIS.

Materials and Methods
We calculated monthly prevalence rates for six diagnostic groupings of MSKIs routinely seen in the MHS between October 2011 and February 2020. To determine if the transition to ICD-10-CM influenced prevalence rates, we performed an interrupted time series analysis, using the ICD-10-CM transition date (October 1, 2015) as the interruption point. To assess trends in direct and private sector care encounters during the MHS GENESIS transition, we calculated monthly MSKI-related encounters at four MTFs from November 1, 2015 through September 30, 2021.

Results
Three diagnoses had a significant (P &lt; .05) change in the slope, or rate of change, for their monthly prevalence after the introduction of ICD-10-CM (patellofemoral pain syndrome, −0.18; stress fractures, 0.12; subacromial pain, 0.03). These diagnoses also had a significant level change or immediate change in monthly prevalence following the ICD-10-CM transition (patellofemoral pain syndrome, 24.2; stress fractures, 0.16; subacromial pain, 0.36). Three of the four sites adopting MHS GENESIS showed reduced 3-month averages (range: −7.1–13.0%) of MSKI-related encounters following the electronic health record transition. For two of the four MTFs, we observed an increased reliance on private sector immediately leading up to and following the change to MHS GENESIS.

Conclusions
The observed differences in monthly prevalence for certain MSKIs could be because of the changes in the amount and/or specificity of available codes in ICD-10-CM. Within the six selected diagnostic groupings of MSKIs, we found that patellofemoral pain syndrome, stress fractures, and subacromial pain syndrome demonstrated the greatest changes in prevalence during the ICD-10-CM transition. Those involved in MSKI surveillance should exercise caution when evaluating MSKI prevalence that spans the ICD-10-CM transition. Changes in health care utilization patterns in two of the four MTFs during their adoption of MHS GENESIS suggest that MSKI care may have transferred from direct to private sector care during this period. Future research will be required to validate this finding and determine the impacts on clinical outcomes and military readiness.
Clinical utility of pharmacogenomic testing for patients with coccidioidal meningitis

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Coccidioidomycosis can cause severe meningitis, requiring lifelong treatment. In this study, we sought to better understand the potential effect of pharmacogenomic testing on treatment outcomes of patients with coccidioidal meningitis. Of 13 patients with coccidioidal meningitis who underwent pharmacogenomic testing, 11 had genetic variants of CYP2C19 and CYP3A5 that affect antifungal efficacy. These results led to real-time treatment changes and future antifungal planning. Routine pharmacogenomic testing helps to avoid antifungal treatments that are futile or lead to adverse effects.
An iterative method to deblend AGN-Host contributions for Integral Field spectroscopic observations
Authors: Ibarra-Medel H , Negrete C A , Lacerna I , Hernández-Toledo H M , Cortes-Suárez E , Sánchez S F 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
We present a new iterative deblending method to separate the host galaxy (HG) and their Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) emission with the use of Integral Field spectroscopic (IFS) data. The method decomposes the resolved HG emission from the unresolved AGN emission by modelling the two-dimensional surface brightness (SB) profile of the point-spread function (PSF) and the two-dimensional SB HG continuum simultaneously per each monochromatic slide. Our method does not require any prior information about the observed SB profile or a detailed fitting of the PSF, making it ideal for the automatic analysis of large galaxy samples. In this work, we test the quality of our method, its advantages, and its disadvantages. We test our method by using a set of IFS mock data cubes to quantify the reliability of our deblending process and further compare our method with the qdblend3d analysis tool. Furthermore, we applied our method to three data cubes selected from the MaNGA survey according to the dominance of either its HG or its AGN. We show that our deblending method is capable of disengaging the bright, non-resolved AGN emission from the HG continuum and its narrow emission lines. However, the decoupling depends on how well the IFS spatially resolves the PSF, and on the relative flux intensity of the HG-AGN. Therefore, the method is ideal for disentangling the bright-flux contribution from AGN-dominated spectra.
Toward an Existentialist Metaethics
Authors: Dover Daniela , Gingerich Jonathan 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn her 1947 book Toward an Ethics of Ambiguity, Simone de Beauvoir sketches the outlines of a systematic existentialist ethical theory. This short and startlingly ambitious text purports to offer nothing less than a new way to meet the challenge of moral skepticism with a theory that at once grounds moral normativity and entails certain first-order moral norms. Beauvoir offers a distinctive and promising version of metaethical constructivism that deserves to be treated as a live option in contemporary debates. Beauvoirian constructivism has much in common with Kantian constructivist approaches to metaethics. It departs from them in that the Beauvoirian existential imperative to will freedom is derived not from rational agency as such but from contingent features of our embodied subjectivity.
Dams, Power, and the Politics of Ethiopia's Renaissance
Authors: Lavers Tom 
Published: November 2024

AbstractAfter more than a decade, Ethiopia is filling the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), a controversial dam with the potential to transform the hydrology and politics of the Nile Basin. The GERD is the culmination of a dam-building boom carried out over three decades and a key pillar of the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front’s (EPRDF’s) efforts to bring about an Ethiopian ‘Renaissance’. This book provides the first detailed examination of the domestic and international political dynamics that shaped Ethiopia’s dam building, drawing on extensive primary research including more than 100 interviews with politicians, technocrats, consultants, and donors. In doing so, the book reflects on Ethiopia’s implications for broader debates about the role of the state in late development, the dynamics of twenty-first-century dam building, and the political economy of renewable energy transitions. A central argument of the book is that Ethiopia’s dam building is symbolic of the successes and failures of the EPRDF’s ‘developmental state’. On the one hand, this dams boom enhanced electricity generation capacity, while constituting a key element of the state infrastructure investment that turned Ethiopia into one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. On the other hand, a politically driven decision-making process undermined electricity planning, contributed to an unsustainable debt burden, and, ultimately, failed to provide reliable electricity access to key users. Following the EPRDF’s collapse, the subsequent Prosperity Party Government has taken steps away from the state-led development model of its predecessor, while labouring towards the final completion of the GERD.
Political Vulnerability and the Origins of the EPRDF’s Dams Boom
Authors: Lavers Tom , Fana Gebresenbet , Biruk Terrefe 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter focuses on the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front’s (EPRDF’s) first two decades in office from 1991 to 2010, analysing the government’s development strategy and the role of electricity within it, and the spatial distribution of the government’s dam building. The chapter shows that the motivation for the EPRDF’s dams boom can be located in the government’s broader approach to development. For the new government, rapid, broad-based development was considered essential to addressing the political vulnerability facing the regime, with industrialization and the mass creation of manufacturing jobs key to its political survival. The government’s ambitions regarding the electricity sector largely stem from this goal of structural transformation. Moreover, given its central importance to the EPRDF’s economic project, the government considered the retention of electricity and a handful of key economic sectors under state control to be a necessity.
Deaf Culture’s Musical Presents
Authors: Maler Anabel 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the diversity of sign language music in the present day, exploring genres such as translated songs that involve interpreting a preexisting song in sign language, original songs created in sign language, and signed music that involves no signed words. To capture the richness and diversity of today’s signed music practices, the author conducts interviews with ten Deaf signing musicians. The chapter centers the experience and knowledge of these skilled Deaf musicians to showcase the innovations and issues surrounding sign language music today. The chapter reveals that sign language music encompasses a wide variety of genres, mediums of distribution, and perspectives, and that signing musicians come from a variety of backgrounds.
Rhythm and Meter
Authors: Maler Anabel 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Existing theories of musical rhythm and meter take sound as a given, but many pieces of sign language music do not include any sounding elements. This chapter applies the notions of rhythm and meter to the visual domain, drawing on existing literature on music theory, sign language poetry, and the perception and cognition of rhythm. It explores entrainment, pulse, rhythm, and meter in sign language music, arguing that signers present visual rhythms using four movement types: hold emphasis, movement emphasis, movement size, and movement duration. The chapter further shows how visual rhyme impacts the creation of metrical structures, investigates the complex metrical situations that arise when spoken and signed languages interact, and defines the concept of phrase rhythm in sign language music. It uses varied examples, from percussion songs, to Deaf hip hop, to translated songs, to reveal the resiliency of rhythm in human musical life.
Meaning and Form
Authors: Maler Anabel 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter asks how sign language music creates musical meaning for its performers and audiences, acting as a site of affective engagement. In order to show how sign language music creates specifically musical meaning for its perceivers, the chapter draws on fundamental parameters of sign language music: aspects of vocal production; pulse, rhythm, and meter; and aspects of melody. It reveals how music and language interact to create musical meaning, and how signing musicians structure their performances formally. Finally, the chapter uses two case studies, Rosa Lee Timm’s “River Song” and Jesse Jones III’s “One World, Two Hands,” to reveal how each song conveys meaning through simulations of dynamic processes, out of which emerges musical structure.
Lester B. Pearson and the Domestic Implications of Canadian Foreign Policy, 1963–1968
Authors: Chapnick Adam , McKercher Asa 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines Canadian foreign policy under Liberal Prime Minister Lester Pearson during a period of consecutive minority parliaments. The Liberals governed with support from the New Democratic Party, whose influence on foreign policy was evident. The chapter includes the foreign policy implications of Quebec’s Quiet Revolution, the impact of economic nationalism on relations with the United States, the negotiation of the Columbia River Treaty and the Auto Pact, the posture of Canada at the UN, and the decline of the British connection. The cases deal with the federal government’s response to the promulgation of the Gérin-Lajoie doctrine in Quebec, and Lester Pearson’s controversial speech at Temple University about American policy in Vietnam. The Beyond the Book case examines Ottawa’s response to Time and Reader’s Digest when they produced split-run magazines to benefit from tax credits intended to promote Canadian companies.
How to Participate in Early Childhood Music Experiences
Authors: Huisman Koops Lisa 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Music is important for young children. There are many ways to experience music in early childhood. Formal early childhood music classes work for some families and not for others. Decisions about whether to go to an early childhood music class, when to begin, and which class to choose all depend on multiple factors. Young children demonstrate a wide range of participation in early childhood music classes. There are many other ways to engage in music with a young child. For those who choose to attend an early childhood music class, be attentive and open-minded about how one’s child is participating. Incorporate early childhood music activities regularly at home. Sample activities for an at-home early childhood music class are described.
Souvenirs of Cicero
Authors: Martelli Francesca K. A. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Cicero’s letters have figured prominently in some of Western modernity’s most cherished illusions about the immediacy of its encounter with classical antiquity. Celebrated since their discovery in the Renaissance for their intimate mode of self-expression, they have been prized since then for the unparalleled proximity they appear to give us to the events and leading figures of the late Republic. Yet they are also the product of a later era. Only organized into books and collections and published as such by unidentified editors after Cicero’s death, the transmitted letters are also inescapably imperial and post-imperial texts. This book is a study of the narratives that the letter collections plot in their transmitted formats and, in particular, of the belated, post-republican perspectives that shape these narratives. Focusing on the Epistulae ad Familiares, the collection that incorporates Cicero’s widest cast of correspondents, it traces the social, political, and technological agencies that shaped this letter collection in antiquity, and elucidates the interests that these editorial interventions serve both for ancient readers and for our interpretation of the letters today. This study draws on the work of cultural and media theorists to classify Cicero’s letters as residual media, which haunt subsequent history with the Republic’s lost futures as they circulate beyond their own era.
Before oil, we were poor. now, we’re miserable
Authors: Behrends Andrea 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The focus then moves back from the capital to the largest city of the Chad-Sudan borderlands, Abéché. Linking how the inhabitants imagine the state and how they perceive actual governing practices, the author recapitulates some reactions to the rebellion in Abéché and N’Djamena. The chapter shows how rumors of rebellion and speculations about who will win trigger the population to instantly switch their definitions of belonging, for instance, by showing support for rebels instead of the national army, and vice versa, depending on whom they assume to be victorious. In this chapter, the long-distance effect of oil production comes into focus, relating to both images and practical effects.
What about the English?
Authors: Kenny Michael 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The establishment of devolved governments outside England inadvertently raised questions about what devolution meant for the largest part of the UK. This was a period in which questions of nationhood and identity were becoming prominent in England, and, separately, a growing seam of disenchantment with the political and governing system developed outside its largest cities. Both of these trends eroded the stock of English consent for the Union. And in 2014 debates about England’s governance broke into the open in the aftermath of the Scottish referendum. Brexit temporarily quelled these debates but the grievances underlying them have persisted. Historically, the British constitutional tradition has assumed that the English are content with Britain's governing structures, but there are signs of a growing sense of English distinctiveness and a latent demand for national recognition. The chapter considers the implications of these changes, and also explores the parallel debates over sub-national devolution which resulted in successive attempts to establish a middle layer of governance sitting between local councils and central state.
Movement Parties of the Far Right
Authors: Castelli Gattinara Pietro , Pirro Andrea L. P. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In an era of traditional political party decline, Movement Parties of the Far Right explores a new phase of nativist mobilization, in which street politics holds an increasingly important role. Pietro Castelli Gattinara and Andrea L. P. Pirro delve into the hybrid and transitional nature of far-right movement parties, i.e. collective actors that contest elections like political parties and mobilize in the protest arena like social movements. Movement parties offer an exceptional object of study since they challenge the conventional distinction between institutional and non-institutional politics. Examining the ‘production structure’ of ten movement parties across nine European countries, the authors identify key factors affecting their engagement in protest activity. They address the internal organization, decision-making processes, and external mobilization of these collective actors using unique empirical material, including quantitative data on far-right protest mobilization spanning over a decade, protest network visualizations, and qualitative interviews with high-ranking officials. The book provides fresh insights into how the far right spreads its influence and relates to non-institutional politics, making it essential reading for anyone concerned about the way in which nativist collective actors transform society from the ground up. A compelling study looking at the relationship between electoral politics and grassroots activism, Movement Parties of the Far Right illuminates the complex organizational and strategic choices underlying far-right mobilization.
Gautrot or ‘the Most Relentless Fighting Spectacle between Makers’
Authors: Diago Ortega José-Modesto 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on Pierre-Louis Gautrot (the most important wind instrument maker in France), one of the businessmen who were attacked by Sax at the Paris Exposition of 1855. Gautrot’s strategy was to delay the process in order to financially undermine his rival, who had not yet recovered from the bankruptcy of 1852. Gautrot only had to hang on, as the main patent blocking most of these brasswinds (saxotromba) would soon fall into the public domain (1860). The dispute became heated—blocking of economic provisions, different interpretations of the statute of limitations, etc.—and the case went several times to the Courts of Appeal and Cassation. These procedural ups and downs ceased when the two contenders reached (1859) a financial settlement of more than half a million francs and Gautrot accepted an (abusive) licensing agreement for as long as the saxotromba patent was active, presumably only for another year.
Masterstroke
Authors: Diago Ortega José-Modesto 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter contains the unprecedented episode in which late modern France passed a state law for a private individual (Adolphe Sax) to enjoy a five-year extension to prolong the validity of his patents (saxotromba and saxophone) and, ultimately, for that entrepreneur to continue to enjoy a double monopoly. Although this was a contingency provided for in the legislation, it was remote because it required strong involvement of the Executive, approval by the Council of State, passage through committees, procedures, and debates in both the Parliament and Senate, and ratification by the Emperor. Moreover, such an exception was highly controversial in a system of theoretically free competition; moreover, in this case, the stakes were enormous, including huge amounts of money. This chapter captures the reasons for and against such a concession, as well as the debates—and sharp commentaries—of the representatives of the French people and sovereignty.
CRISPR CLIP: comprehensive reviews on interventional studies using precision recombinant technologies: clinical landmarks, implications, and prospects

Published: November 2024

Abstract
To consolidate clinical trials that utilized the CRISPR technology to synthesise cures for various genetic diseases as a means to provide a window into the progress made so far while paving the way forward for future research and practices. Systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42023479511). Trials from seven databases’ (ClinicalTrials.gov, European Union Clinical Trials Registry, ISRCTN registry, ICTRP/trialsearch.who.int, ChiCTR.org.cn, Clinical Trial Registry India, and Cochrane Library/Trials) inception to 9 March 2024, were considered. Exclusion criteria were unrelated, duplicated, non-English, unavailable full texts, diagnostic studies, correlational studies, observational studies, abstract-only papers, reviews or conference papers. Included studies were appraised using the ten-item CASP tool to assess methodological quality. The review identified 82 RCTs utilizing CRISPR and revealed four main themes: Diseases targeted, Countries of Clinical trials, Type of interventions, and Trial trends over the years. Geographically, the United States and China lead in the number of CRISPR clinical trials, followed by the European Union. However, Africa, Asia, and South America have very few trials. Among disease classes, cancer is the most prevalent focus with 39 studies, followed by monogenetic blood diseases, like Thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia. The biological agent CTX001 and Cyclophosphamide each feature in 11 studies. The peak year for clinical trials was 2018, marked by a significant increase with 16 studies conducted. Despite conducting a comprehensive search, the majority of trials were concentrated in the United States and China. Additionally, potential oversights due to vague titles, English-only studies, and indexing issues may have occurred. Nonetheless, by incorporating data from seven distinct databases, this review significantly contributes to understanding CRISPR's utilization in therapeutic clinical trials, paving the way for future research directions. The review underscores the burgeoning interest in CRISPR-based interventions. Current trials barely tap CRISPR's potential for treating genetic diseases.
