Female, Deserving, and European? The Changing EUropean Migration Discourse in the Face of the Russia–Ukraine War
Authors: Dück Elena , Weisner Zina , Thevenin Elodie 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe initial response of the European Union (EU) to people fleeing Ukraine was unusually univocal and welcoming, culminating in the swift activation of the Temporary Protection Directive. This predominantly humanitarian response represents a special case and an outlier in terms of how the EU and its member states have responded to previous displacements. This paper explores the discursive construction that made this response possible, by looking at how forced migration from Ukraine has been characterised in the EUropean political discourses. Drawing on discourse theory and critical migration studies, we assume that the discourse is marked by differences drawn along the lines of “race,” “gender,” and “distance,” which are linked to ideas about national identity and European values. In order to reflect the multilevel European discourse, we reconstruct the political discourse on the EU level as well as in two diverse cases, Poland and Germany. Our findings suggest that despite national differences and the presence of well-established tropes of deservingness, the EUropean discourse is not only based on ideas surrounding vulnerability of the Ukrainian Other and the European Self but is also influenced by the perception of the threatening Russian Other. Especially in Poland, welcoming refugees from Ukraine is linked to security concerns, while the EU and German discourses stress the role of European values and solidarity. Thus, the acceptance of Ukrainian refugees should be seen as part of the overall European response to Russian aggression and not as a departure from its previous stance on migration.

AbstractThe treatment of radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RAIR-DTC) has made significant advancements in the twenty-first century. This study aimed to assess the current state of research and identify potential new directions by conducting a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications on RAIR-DTC treatment. Publications relevant to RAIR-DTC, published from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2023, were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analyses of major keywords, authors, countries, institutions, publications, and journals were conducted using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. A total of 859 papers were included in the analysis. The results demonstrated a rising trend in the number of publications over time. The United States was identified as the leading contributor in terms of publication output, citations, and international collaborations. Gustave Roussy emerged as the top organization in publication productivity, while the journal Thyroid had the highest number of related publications. The research on RAIR treatment was categorized into three key hotspots: clinical trials of targeted therapies, novel therapeutic strategies, and debates surrounding the RAIR-DTC management. RAIR-DTC research is expanding from the clinical trial phase of tyrosine kinase inhibitor monotherapy to a more complex combination therapy strategy, in particular, the synergistic effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors and other therapeutic agents, requiring more high-quality prospective studies to validate the clinical benefits. Moreover, the timely identification of RAIR-DTC patients holds the potential to enable early disease intervention, constituting a pivotal novel research direction in the future.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Background
Newborn screening (NBS) for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) enables early diagnosis and intervention, significantly improving patient outcomes. Advances in real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology have been instrumental in facilitating their inclusion in NBS programs.

Methods
We employed multiplex real-time PCR to simultaneously detect T-cell receptor excision circles (TRECs), kappa-deleting recombination excision circles (KRECs), and the absence of the survival motor neuron (SMN) 1 gene in dried blood spots from 103,240 newborns in Zhejiang Province, China, between July 2021 and December 2022.

Results
Of all the samples, 122 were requested further evaluation. After flow cytometry evaluation and/or genetic diagnostics, we identified one patient with SCID, two patients with XLA, nine patients with SMA [one of whom also had Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome (WAS)], and eight patients with other medical conditions. The positive predictive values (PPVs) of NBS for SCID, XLA, and SMA were 2.44%, 2.78%, and 100%, respectively. The estimated prevalence rates in the Chinese population were 1 in 103,240 for SCID, 1 in 51,620 for XLA, and 1 in 11,471 for SMA.

Conclusion
This study represents the first large-scale screening in mainland China using a TREC/KREC/SMN1 multiplex assay, providing valuable epidemiological data. Our findings suggest that this multiplex assay is an effective screening method for SCID, XLA, and SMA, potentially supporting the universal implementation of NBS programs across China.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article discusses the use of diatom in biosensing and various applications. A thorough understanding of the biosensing properties of diatoms is essential for the advancement of life sciences technologies. This review elucidates the emerging significance of diatoms in biosensing applications by highlighting the high surface area-to-volume ratio, biocompatibility, and facile functionalization of them. We examined the possible application of diatoms as flexible biosensing systems for the detection of various analytes, such as biological molecules, heavy metals, and poisons, by considering the findings of earlier research. Additionally, to show how diatoms can be used to create precise and sensitive biosensors, by integrating with several transduction modalities, including optical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric methods. We also delve into the potential applications of diatom-based biosensing in the future as well as pertinent topics such as repeatability, stability, and scalability. This provides an in-depth analysis of the quickly evolving field of diatom-based biosensing, which could affect several industries, such as environmental monitoring, food security and medical diagnostics.

Published: November 2024

SamenvattingNierkanker kent een stijgende incidentie. Vanuit de vier deelnemende ziekenhuizen in de regio Rotterdam worden patiënten met (een verdenking op) een niertumor besproken op het multidisciplinaire overleg (MDO) nierkanker. In dit onderzoek hebben we de waarde van dit MDO geëvalueerd. In 2020 werden er tijdens dit MDO 252 patiënten vanuit de afdeling urologie besproken. Inbreng leidde bij 12% tot een ander beleid dan aanvankelijk was voorgesteld. De belangrijkste reden voor het wijzigen van het beleid was twijfel over de aard van de afwijking. Het MDO-advies werd bij 95% van de patiënten opgevolgd. De voornaamste redenen om van het advies af te wijken waren de comorbiditeit of de wensen van de patiënt. Bij 11% van de behandelde patiënten bleek het uiteindelijk om een benigne afwijking te gaan. Het regionale nierkanker-MDO heeft een belangrijke invloed op de keuze voor een van de beleidsopties bij patiënten met (de verdenking op) nierkanker.
Synthesis of alumina/ferric oxide nanofibers and application to catalysts for ethanol dehydration reaction by adding palladium oxide
Authors: Masamura Shogo , Hossain Md. Shakhawat , Nakane Koji 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Alumina/ferric oxide (Al₂O₃/Fe₂O₃) composite nanofibers were fabricated via electrospinning followed by heat treatment. Structural characterization revealed mesoporous morphology with high porosity and surface area and uniform dispersion of catalytically active Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles. Catalytic evaluation for ethanol dehydration demonstrated superior performance for nanofibers containing 5 wt% Fe₂O₃, attributed to their unique structural features. Further enhancement was achieved by incorporating palladium oxide (PdO), resulting in improved catalytic activity, particularly in ethylene productivity. Surface acid properties were altered with PdO addition, suggesting a role of Lewis acid sites in augmenting catalytic performance. The developed PdO/Al₂O₃/Fe₂O₃ nanofibers exhibit stable performance over multiple cycles, offering promising prospects for efficient ethanol dehydration catalysts.
The influence of modification of the geometry of the front surface of the RFSSW tool inner sleeve on the fatigue life of joints during joining clad sheets made of aluminum alloy 2024-T3

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Refill Friction Stir Spot Welding (RFSSW) has a number of advantages that make it a possible alternative to riveting and resistance welding in aerospace structures, the automotive industry and other applications. Adequate determination of technological parameters which ensure the desired properties of welds and their functioning in various operating conditions requires, among others, appropriate fatigue life of connections. The article presents the results of comparative tests of the mechanical properties of welds (load-bearing capacity and fatigue life at selected three load levels) made with a basic tool (G0) and a tool with a modified geometry (G4). The samples were made of 1.27 mm thick clad sheets of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy with an additional oxide anodic coating. It has been shown that the modified geometry of the working surface of the inner sleeve of the RFSSW tool improves the conditions and course of the plasticization and stirring process of the joined materials. The use of a G4 geometry tool allowed for approximately 30% higher joint load-bearing capacity and approximately twice as long fatigue life (at lower load levels) compared to welds made with the G0 tool.

Abstract
In environmental science, where information from sensor devices are sparse, data fusion for mapping purposes is often based on geostatistical approaches. We propose a methodology called adaptive distance attention that enables us to fuse sparse, heterogeneous, and mobile sensor devices and predict values at locations with no previous measurement. The approach allows for automatically weighting the measurements according to a priori quality information about the sensor device without using complex and resource-demanding data assimilation techniques. Both ordinary kriging and the general regression neural network (GRNN) are integrated into this attention with their learnable parameters based on deep learning architectures. We evaluate this method using three static phenomena with different complexities: a case related to a simplistic phenomenon, topography over an area of 196

$ {km}^2 $

and to the annual hourly

$ {NO}_2 $

concentration in 2019 over the Oslo metropolitan region (1026

$ {km}^2 $

). We simulate networks of 100 synthetic sensor devices with six characteristics related to measurement quality and measurement spatial resolution. Generally, outcomes are promising: we significantly improve the metrics from baseline geostatistical models. Besides, distance attention using the Nadaraya–Watson kernel provides as good metrics as the attention based on the kriging system enabling the possibility to alleviate the processing cost for fusion of sparse data. The encouraging results motivate us in keeping adapting distance attention to space-time phenomena evolving in complex and isolated areas.
Dating the Egyptian Old Kingdom: The reign of Djedkare (5th dynasty)

Published: November 2024

AbstractThis study aims to discuss the chronology of the Egyptian 5th dynasty of the Old Kingdom and the tentative date of accession of king Djedkare based on material from his royal necropolis at South Saqqara and non-royal cemetery of Abusir South, Egypt. A series of radiocarbon (14C) dates were established through analysis of archaeological material from several monuments at the necropolis, including the king’s pyramid complex, pyramid complex of his queen, and two elite tombs (Isesiankh and Khuwy). In addition, two samples from non-royal tombs in the Abusir South cemetery, were taken into consideration for further precision during the modeling, associated with king Huni (end 3rd dynasty) and king Niuserre (5th dynasty). The contextualized 14C dates together with re-evaluation of historical evidence on Djedkare’s rule, results in a new model of temporal probability density which can be further refined with any new data from archaeological research. It shows that Djedkare’s reign can be currently modelled between 2503 and 2449 BCE (95.4%), thus slightly older than expected by literature. This presented model provides a more precise chronological frame for the late 5th dynasty period of Egyptian history, which was period of a significant socio-economic transformation.
Late Glacial and Holocene history of climate, vegetation landscapes and fires in South Taiga of Western Siberia based on radiocarbon dating and multi-proxy palaeoecological research of sediments from Shchuchye Lake

Published: November 2024

AbstractTo investigate long-term relationships between climate, vegetation, landscape geochemistry and fires in the boreal forest zone of Western Siberia, a sediment core of 345 cm was collected from Shchuchye Lake (located in south taiga zone of southeast part of West Siberian plain) and investigated by spore-pollen, radiocarbon, LOI and charcoal analyses. Quantitative palaeoclimate was reconstructed based on pollen data. Investigation revealed 13.2 cal ka history of vegetation, climate, landscapes and fires. In the dry climate of Late Glacial, the landscape was treeless. Continuous permafrost existed in the soil. In the middle of the YD cooling 12.4–12.2 cal ka BP, our data showed warming that caused degradation of permafrost in soils and settlement of spruce in moist places. Later, thawing and accumulation of moisture in a local lowering in relief increased and a lake was formed. With the beginning of the Holocene, the climate sharply changed to warmer and wetter. Intensified surface flow caused accumulation of mineral and carbonate fraction in the lake. Dense birch forests spread on drylands. As a result, the leaching regime initiated the formation of podzols in the soil. At about 10.0 cal ka BP, Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) quickly spread in the area of investigation. Fires became more frequent and more intense during the dry Late Glacial time, sharply decreasing with increased precipitation in the Early Holocene, and again moderately increasing with spread of pine forests in the mid Holocene. With the transition to Late Holocene (after 6.0 cal ka BP), the intensity of regional background fires and number of local fires decreased.
Archaeology on the edge: radiocarbon chronologies for Aboriginal cliff-top sites of the Murray River, South Australia

Published: November 2024

AbstractThis paper presents new radiocarbon dates for two Aboriginal archaeological complexes situated on the cliff-lines of the Murray River in South Australia (SA); at Pooginook Flat and Tanamee. These dates represent the first age estimates for archaeological sites within the Upper Gorge section of the Murray River. The dates ranged from ca. 11 cal ka to the Late Holocene. The research supports previous evidence which has indicated that sites located along the Murray cliffs preserve much of the oldest evidence of Aboriginal peopling along the Murray River corridor in SA. The new dates also allow us to contribute to discussions concerning broader chronological trends in Aboriginal lifeways within the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB). Specifically, the new ages add some insight into the nature and timing of early Aboriginal occupation along the Murray River corridor in SA and further evidence that the LGM acted as a significant inhibitive factor for intensive occupation of this riverscape. The conservation of these significant and informative cliff-top sites remains precarious, however, and there is an imperative to continue to record and sample the extant sites.
Structural Confusion in the Cantigas de Santa Maria: Navigating Unstable Narratives in the Miracles of Castrojeriz
Authors: DRUMMOND HENRY T. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis article addresses links between musical-poetic structure and architecture in four songs of the Cantigas de Santa Maria. Made at Alfonso X of Castile’s court in the latter years of his reign (1252–84), the Cantigas present a unique case of miracle narratives (cantigas de miragre) set to song. As Parkinson has shown, the four songs in the Castrojeriz set present technical faults that hinder effective comprehension of their miracle texts. This article shows that the songs’ cyclical structures can aid textual logic by aligning narrative highlights with points of sonic focus in the poetry and music. Tension between textual and musical-poetic form often mirrors the songs’ narratives, which concern difficulties during the construction of Castrojeriz’s church. This article argues that such tensions can be read as a text-as-building metaphor, also alluded to in the songs as they appear in surviving manuscripts.
Soil available phosphorous and potassium stocks related to environmental properties, land uses and soils

Published: November 2024

AbstractSoil available phosphorus (SAP) and potassium (SAK) are indispensable for crops, and their stocks are important for food production needed for a growing global population. This study analysed 991 soil profiles across a large part of Romania covering forestland, grassland and cropland in almost all ecological regions. This study investigated SAP and SAK stocks for different soil depths and characterized their magnitude and variability within land uses under different environmental ecosystems, soil classes and soil types, for a better soil and land management under a temperate-continental climate. Cropland soils present the highest SAP and SAK stocks. Chernozems, Phaeozems and Vertosols possess the highest SAP and SAK stocks in Romania, representing the largest country's pool. Both SAP stocks and SAK stocks are significantly correlated with basic environmental properties, existing direct correlations between SAP, SAK, soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stocks. For all land uses, SAP and SAK stocks correlated significantly and directly with each other, as well as with annual temperature, clay content, pH and sum of base cations, and inversely with altitude, slope and annual precipitation. The best predictive values using multiple regression models and basic environmental driving factors were found for forestland stocks of SAP and SAK, followed by grassland stocks, while the lowest prediction occurred for cropland stocks, probably due to the long-term additional nutrient input performed by farmers in cropland that changed the natural conditions otherwise present in grassland, and especially in forestland. Based on these results some management measures are discussed.
Colonial Recognition? The Appropriation of Dutch Land and Population Registers as Legal Documents in Eighteenth-Century Sri Lanka
Authors: Bulten Luc 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis paper considers the utilisation, appropriation, and renegotiation of colonial knowledge in the form of land and population registers by local litigants in eighteenth-century Dutch colonial Sri Lanka. Using a database compiled from thirty-three civil court cases held before the Landraad rural council of Colombo, I highlight how Lankan litigants frequently used the colonial thombo registers as evidence to have their property recognised. Moreover, I show that these registers were not just utilised but also altered through this process, particularly through the promotion of alternative knowledge in the form of local witness testimonies and ola palm leaf documents during court cases. I subsequently argue that we should reconsider how we view colonial knowledge. Rather than a static, top-down view from a foreign bureaucracy on a colonised society, this knowledge could be appropriated and even altered through the acts of local agents, in turn changing what was known by the colonial state and thus creating a “looping effect” of knowledge production.
