Published: October 2024

Background
The clinical characteristics and survival outcomes of patients who underwent concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting during septal myectomy have not been well studied.

Methods and Results

We reviewed patients who underwent both septal myectomy and coronary artery bypass grafting from 2009 to 2020. Causes of concomitant grafting and their impact on survival were analyzed. The median follow‐up period was 5.1 years. A total of 320 patients underwent both grafting and myectomy. Of these, 69.7% and 28.1% underwent grafting attributed to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and myocardial bridging, respectively. Patients who underwent grafting for coronary artery disease tended to be older, had a longer bypass time, and required more grafts compared with patients undergoing procedures because of myocardial bridging (all
P
<0.05). Postoperatively, the left ventricular outflow gradient significantly decreased from 85.4 mm Hg to 12.8 mm Hg (
P
<0.001) without perioperative death. The cumulative survival rates were 96.2% and 97.6% at 5 years in the coronary artery disease and myocardial bridging groups, respectively, and they were comparable to that of general myectomy cohort (hazard ratio [HR], 1.06 [95% CI, 0.47–2.36],
P
=0.895 and HR 0.75 [95% CI, 0.23–2.46],
P
=0.636, respectively). Sudden death accounted for 45.5% (5 of 11) of postoperative mortality. Analysis of composite end point events showed decreased morbidity with at least one arterial graft in the overall cohort (HR, 0.47 [95% CI, 0.23–0.94],
P
=0.034).

Conclusions
Concomitant grafting in septal myectomy was found to be a safe procedure. Patients who underwent such surgery experienced favorable postoperative outcomes comparable to those who underwent septal myectomy alone, with a 5‐year survival rate of >95% and improved functional class of >90%.
Transnational Climate Governance and State Capacity: A Multilevel Analysis of Green Bond Certification
Authors: Lin Jiun-Da 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Green bonds have become a key instrument for combating the climate crisis. To mitigate the risk of greenwashing, nongovernmental organizations and market participants have established transnational standards and certification schemes for the global governance of green bonds. This research aims to explain the variation in the adoption of certification across bonds and countries. By analyzing a data set of 4,682 green bonds from fifty-five countries between 2016 and 2020, the multilevel mixed-effects models indicate that an increase in participants in the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures within a country positively correlates with the likelihood of domestic green bond issuers adopting the certification from the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI). In countries with stronger state capacity to adopt climate laws and policies, green bond issuers are more likely to participate in the CBI certification. This study has implications for addressing the issue of greenwashing in the development of the green bond market.
High-resolution 7T fMRI reveals the visual zone of the human
claustrum
Authors: Coates Adam , Linhardt David , Windischberger Christian , Ischebeck Anja , Zaretskaya Natalia 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The claustrum is a thin grey matter structure located between the insular cortex and the putamen. The function of the claustrum is largely unknown with diverse hypotheses ranging from multisensory integration and consciousness to attention and cognitive control. Much research on the function of the claustrum relies on invasive techniques in animal models, as the claustrum’s uniquely thin shape makes it difficult to image non-invasively in human subjects. In the current proof-of-concept study, we used high-resolution ultra-high field (7 Tesla) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure activity in the human claustrum during the processing of naturalistic stimuli. We presented short video clips as visual only, auditory only, or audiovisual conditions while participants performed a central fixation task. We found distinct visual responses in both the left and the right claustrum at a consistent spatial location across participants, hemispheres, and sessions. We also found deactivations in response to auditory stimulation. These deactivations were confined to the right claustrum and did not overlap with visual activity. The deactivation in response to auditory stimulation demonstrates the complexity of the claustrum’s functional organization and suggests functional differentiation within the claustrum. This is the first study to demonstrate sensory-specific effects within the human claustrum. It opens the possibility for studying the claustrum’s role in higher-level aspects of sensory processing in humans.
No evidence that visual impulses enhance the readout of retrieved long-term memory contents from EEG activity
Authors: van Bree Sander , Mackenzie Abbie Sarah , Wimber Maria 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The application of multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) to electroencephalography (EEG) data allows neuroscientists to track neural representations at temporally fine-grained scales. This approach has been leveraged to study the locus and evolution of long-term memory contents in the brain, but a limiting factor is that decoding performance remains low. A key reason for this is that processes such as encoding and retrieval are intrinsically dynamic across trials and participants, and this runs in tension with MVPA and other techniques that rely on consistently unfolding neural codes to generate predictions about memory contents. The presentation of visually perturbing stimuli may experimentally regularize brain dynamics, making neural codes more stable across measurements to enhance representational readouts. Such enhancements, which have repeatedly been demonstrated in working memory contexts, could offer a tool to improve decoding in long-term memory tasks. In this study, we evaluated whether visual perturbations—or pings—improve our ability to predict the category of retrieved images from EEG activity during cued recall. Overall, our findings suggest that while pings evoked a prominent neural response, they did not reliably produce improvements in MVPA-based classification across several analyses. We discuss possibilities that could explain these results, including the role of experimental and analysis parameter choices and mechanistic differences between working and long-term memory.
‘To Each Their Own’
Authors: Palmer Seth 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In 2014 a violent encounter unfolded at the royal cemetery of Betsioka between Christian evangelists and their antagonists: spirit mediums, shrine caretakers, and monarchical-ancestral spirits (tromba). The narratives provided by members of the Malagasy Church of Jesus Christ, alongside those offered by spirits and their human supplicants, paint an intimate portrait of the two groups’ competing ideologies. The event emerged from longstanding tensions between indigenous Sakalava communities and highlander Protestant migrants who demonize possession rituals attached to the Sakalava monarchical system. Critically, both parties mediated their disagreement through the shared understanding that each individual has a unique destiny and should be free to follow their own religious commitments. Discourse on predestined individual difference challenged the actions of evangelists who saw the ‘traditions of the ancestors’ as incommensurable with Christian life. Increasing Christian nationalism on the island highlights the awkward place that aggressive proselytization occupies in religious rights debates.
The Impact of Incitement by Public Officials in the Commission of Genocide: the Case of Ethnic Amharas in the Oromia Region
Authors: Mengistu Abyssinia Abay 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Insecurity has worsened in one of the eleven regions of Ethiopia, Oromiya, due to the killings of innocent Amharas. While there is increasing academic attention on the origins, causes, and nature of this threat, the role of the incitement of public officials in the commission of the killings and/or genocide in the region remains understudied. Accordingly, foregrounded by the need to unravel this gap, this qualitative study contributes to the literature through organised empirical research by examining Ethiopia’s public officials’ speeches and/or incitement, which might have helped in the commission of ethnic Amhara genocide in the Oromiya region since 2018. Three critical world events served as the main theoretical foundations for the analysis of incitement to genocide: the Nuremberg Prosecutions, the United Nations Genocide Convention, and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. It was found that both Prime Minister Abiy’s and Shimelis Abdisa’s speeches have mounted to qualify as incitements to genocide by being concomitant to the context, purpose, and causation. It is thus sufficient to remark that the speeches are used to further instigate genocide against ethnic Amharas. The study’s central argument holds that the causal link between the speech in question and the massacre in the region doubles the synthesis, although the UN Convention does not require a direct causal link.

Pour introduire ces Nouvelles études sur les lieux de spectacle de la première modernité, Pauline Beaucé et Jeffrey Leichman explorent différents enjeux soulevés par la notion de virtuel pour la recherche en histoire du théâtre. Ancrées dans le concret des archives, les études rassemblées dans ce volume s’inscrivent dans la volonté d’un renouveau interprétatif en partant d’hypothèses rendues possibles par des perspectives contemporaines - nouvelles technologies, revalorisation d’objets autrefois jugés mineurs, intérêt pour les approches contrefactuelles. La diversité des objets de recherche, des méthodes et des résultats rassemblés éclaire non seulement l’histoire matérielle des spectacles de la première modernité, mais illustre aussi la nécessité de croiser les approches scientifiques pour renouveler la compréhension et la transmission des pratiques culturelles du passé.
Pauline Beaucé and Jeffrey Leichman introduce these Nouvelles études sur les lieux de spectacle de la première modernité by exploring the issues raised by the notion of the virtual for research in theatre history. While anchored in the concrete reality of archives, the studies gathered in this volume mark a turn toward interpretive hypotheses made possible by contemporary perspectives - new technologies, reevaluation of objects once considered minor, interest in counterfactual approaches. The diversity of research objects, methods and results brought together provides insights not only into the material history of early modern performances, but also illustrates the necessity of interdisciplinary perspectives to renew the understanding and transmission of cultural practices of the past.
1. Recréation 3D et création théâtrale contemporaine
Authors: Triolaire Cyril 
Published: October 2024

Le Wakan Théâtre, compagnie de théâtre professionnel dirigée par Dominique Touzé, crée en 2011 le spectacle 1759. Ça commence la Comédie ! Cette création met à l’honneur le premier théâtre du Massif central, établi à Clermont-Ferrand en 1759, dans les murs de l’hôtel de ville construit sous l’intendant d’Auvergne Ballainvilliers. Le spectacle intègre la reconstitution en 3D du théâtre, en collaboration avec le cabinet d’architecture Panthéon et 3D Studio EDA . Cet article propose de revenir sur les enjeux de la recréation numérique de ce théâtre disparu à partir de plans de coupe, des dessins des motifs décoratifs de Berinzago, et de plans de ville et d’élévation des bâtiments en deux dimensions. Par-delà la mise en images numériques des sources mobilisées pour ce projet, la confrontation des discours, des architectes 3D, du comédien et de l’historien doivent permettre de réinterroger tout à la fois la matérialité et la mise en espace d’un lieu de spectacle, le lien entre patrimonialisation numérique et création vivante contemporaine, et la portée pédagogique d’un objet une fois le spectacle achevé.
In 2011, the Wakan Theatre, a professional theatre company directed by Dominique Touzé, devised a performance called 1759. Ça commence la comédie ! about the first permanent theatre in the Massif Central, built within the walls of the city hall in Clermont-Ferrand at the behest of Intendant of Auvergne Ballainvilliers in 1759. The show integrates a 3D reconstitution of the theatre created in collaboration with the architectural firm Panthéon and 3D EDA Studio. This article proposes to return to the issues surrounding the digital recreation of this bygone theatre, based on floor plans, drawings of decorative patterns by Berinzago, city maps and elevation drawings. Beyond the digital images created from these sources, Wakan’s work brings together architectural, performance and historical discourses, fostering questions on the materiality and layout of a theatre, the link between digital heritage conservation and contemporary theatrical creation, as well as the pedagogical reach of such works once the show is over.
8. Brève de méthodologie : Archéologie théâtrale en Bretagne. Tentative de reconstitution en 3D du « Vieux Théâtre » de Morlaix.
Authors: Magrou Rafaël 
Published: October 2024

À Morlaix, en Bretagne, un théâtre abandonné a suscité l’intérêt d’un groupe d’étudiants de l’École nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Malaquais. Durant une semaine, ils ont visité, étudié, relevé, modélisé et ainsi contribué à rendre compréhensibles ces vestiges du XVIIIe siècle, profondément transformés à la fin du XXe siècle. Invisible depuis la rue, son état de délabrement permet de saisir l’essentiel de la composition de la salle, tandis que la partie scénique a totalement disparu. À partir de documents d’archives, d’une enquête sur place et de relevés de détails, les étudiants ont échafaudé des hypothèses de reconstitution à différents moments de ce témoin scénique régional. À l’aide d’outils numériques, ils ont pu, dans un temps restreint, reconstituer en partie cet ouvrage avant que cette construction ne disparaisse totalement (workshop intensif 27 septembre-1 octobre 2021). À l’issue d’une semaine de recoupements et de recollements, ils ont présenté à des élus locaux, à des riverains comme à l’Architecte des Bâtiments de France le résultat certes partiel mais révélateur de l’intérêt de cet ouvrage oublié.
In Morlaix, French Brittany, an abandoned theatre caught the attention of a group of students from the École nationale supérieure d’architecture Paris-Malaquais. Over the course of a week, they visited, studied, surveyed and modelled this eighteenth-century building, which was radically transformed by the end of the twentieth century. Invisible from the street, the dilapidated state of the building allows one to grasp the essence of the room’s composition, while the stage area has completely disappeared. Based on archival documents, an on-site investigation and detailed surveys, the students came up with hypotheses for reconstructing this regional landmark at different points in time. Using digital tools, they were able to redesign part of the structure in a very short space of time (intensive workshop 27 September-1 October 2021), before it disappeared altogether. After a week of cross-checking and piecing together the data, the students presented the fruits of their labour to local councillors, residents and the Architecte des Bâtiments de France (a government official), their admittedly partial results revealing the interest of this forgotten structure.

Abstract
Monitoring fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is crucial for evaluating air quality and its effects on public health. However, the limited distribution of monitoring stations presents a challenge in accurately assessing air pollution, especially in areas distant from these stations. To address this challenge, our study introduces a two-step deep learning approach for estimating daily gap-free surface PM2.5 concentrations across the contiguous United States (CONUS) from 2018 to 2022, with a spatial resolution of 4 km. In the first phase, we employ a depthwise-partial convolutional neural network (DW-PCNN) to fill gaps between surface PM2.5 stations, utilizing aerosol optical depth (AOD) data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). In the second phase, we integrate the PM2.5 grids imputed by the DW-PCNN with meteorological and anthropogenic variables into a deep convolutional neural network (Deep-CNN) to further enhance the accuracy of our estimation. This enables us to estimate gap-free surface PM2.5 concentrations accurately, evidenced by Pearson’s correlation coefficient R of 0.92 and an index of agreement (IOA) of 0.96 in 10-fold cross validation. We also introduce a grid-based method for calculating PM2.5 design values (DVs), providing a continuous spatial representation of PM2.5 DV that enhances the traditional station-based approach. Our grid-based DV representations offer a comprehensive perspective on air quality, facilitating more detailed analysis. Furthermore, our model’s ability to provide spatiotemporally consistent, gap-free PM2.5 data addresses the issue of missing values, supporting health impact research, policy formulation, and the accuracy of environmental assessments.
Time–Frequency Spillovers and Connectedness between Chinese Climate Risk Perception and Energy Markets

Abstract
With global warming becoming more and more serious, the global need for low-carbon economic transition is increasingly urgent. This study focuses on the time–frequency spillover effect of climate risk perception and energy market. By constructing transition risk perception and physical risk perception indices and using time–frequency analysis, we quantify the impact of climate risk perception on fossil energy and clean energy markets and reveal the dynamic relationship between them. The findings indicate that China’s perception of transition risk from climate change has increased since the Paris Climate Agreement, but the perception of physical risk has changed less. Moreover, the spillover effect between climate risk perception and energy markets is time varying and increases rapidly in the face of climate- or energy-related uncertain events. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a sharp drop in total spillover, and there is little near-information spillover between energy markets and perceptions of climate danger. We also found that in the short term, energy market spillovers are net recipients of climate risk perception according to marginal spillover research. However, this connection changes to become a net transmitter in 2021. In the medium-to-long term, the perception of climate risk begins to function as a net transmitter of spillovers to energy markets.
Spontaneous imbibition in thin anisotropic fibrous media: Experiments and numerical modeling

Published: October 2024

In this study, we investigate the temporal and spatial evolution of wetting saturation during spontaneous imbibition in anisotropic fibrous porous media using both experimental and numerical methods. We present a novel experimental approach to systematically study spontaneous imbibition in these media, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of how microstructure influences wicking performance. The experimental method, which exhibits high reproducibility, was used to validate the numerical model. The numerical model was parameterized using only the porosity and filament diameter of the porous media in conjunction with the material properties of the imbibing fluid. The essential capillary saturation curve for the numerical model was derived using the pore morphology method. The numerical results effectively replicated the experimental results. Our experimental and numerical observations revealed a diffusive wetting front within the porous media, which progressively expanded and decelerated during the imbibition process. The results highlight the significant influence of filament size on the wetting saturation dynamics and the height of the wetting front during spontaneous imbibition.
Associative memory in alcohol-related contexts: An fMRI study with young binge drinkers

Published: October 2024

Background: Alcohol-related cues are known to influence craving levels, a hallmark of alcohol misuse. Binge drinking (BD), a pattern of heavy alcohol use, has been associated with cognitive and neurofunctional alterations, including alcohol attentional bias, memory impairments, as well as disrupted activity in prefrontal- and reward-related regions. However, literature is yet to explore how memories associated with alcohol-related cues are processed by BDs, and how the recall of this information may influence their reward processing. Aims: The present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study aimed to investigate the neurofunctional signatures of BD during an associative memory task. Method: In all, 36 university students, 20 BDs and 16 alcohol abstainers, were asked to memorize neutral objects paired with either alcohol or non-alcohol-related contexts. Subsequently, neutral stimuli were presented, and participants were asked to classify them as being previously paired with alcohol- or non-alcohol-related contexts. Results: While behavioral performance was similar in both groups, during the recall of alcohol-related cues, BDs showed increased brain activation in two clusters including the thalamus, globus pallidus and dorsal striatum, and cerebellum and occipital fusiform gyrus, respectively. Conclusion: These findings suggest that BDs display augmented brain activity in areas responsible for mental imagery and reward processing when trying to recall alcohol-related cues, which might ultimately contribute to alcohol craving, even without being directly exposed to an alcohol-related context. These results highlight the importance of considering how alcohol-related contexts may influence alcohol-seeking behavior and, consequently, the maintenance or increase in alcohol use.
CEO performance targets: The impact of Big 4 accounting firms versus other compensation consultants
Authors: Bachmann Rebecca L , Rasool Sameera , Spiropoulos Helen 
Published: October 2024

Using a sample of ASX 500 firms over the 2005–2019 period, we document substantial variation in the use of performance targets within Chief Executive Officer (CEO) compensation contracts, contrasting firms advised by Big 4 accounting entities with other compensation consulting firms. Firms that engage a Big 4 accounting firm are more likely to implement explicit non-financial performance targets within the short-term incentive plan, effectively minimising opportunities for post hoc justification. They also favour the incorporation of relative performance targets that mitigate pay for luck in the long-term incentive plan. Firms that engage a Big 4 accounting firm demonstrate a similar pay-for-performance relation to firms that do not engage a compensation consultant, while firms engaging non-Big 4 consultants exhibit a lower pay-for-performance relation. Our findings suggest that Big 4 accounting firms provide compensation recommendations that encourage the alignment of interests between managers and shareholders.
