Detection of equine herpesvirus antibodies in large‐scale donkey farms in Liaocheng area
Authors: Ji Yanfei , Zhao Xia , Liu Wenqiang 
Published: September 2024

AbstractBackgroundEquine herpesvirus (EHV) can cause respiratory, reproductive and neurological diseases in equine animals, including donkeys. The main pathogens responsible for these diseases are EHV type 1 (EHV‐1) and EHV‐4. In this study, we collected serum samples from 230 donkeys on 27 large‐scale donkey farms to detect EHV‐1 and EHV‐4 antibodies. We analyzed the presence of EHV antibodies based on region, age and season.ResultsOut of the 27 farms, 62.96% (17/27) tested positive for EHV. Of the 230 donkeys tested, 2.61% (6/230) were positive only for EHV‐1, 5.22% (12/230) were positive only for EHV‐4, and 4.78% (11/230) were positive for both EHV‐1 and EHV‐4. The highest percentage of positive donkeys (21.28%) was found in Dong'e County. The seropositivity rate among donkeys aged 1–4 years was significantly higher compared to the group of donkeys aged 0–1 year (p < 0.05). Additionally, the positive rate was significantly higher in fall and winter compared to spring and summer (p < 0.05).ConclusionsAltogether, our findings indicate that large‐scale donkey farms in the Liaocheng area have a high prevalence of EHV antibodies. Since Liaocheng is an important donkey trading market in Shandong Province, it is crucial to consider the risk of disease transmission based on our test results. This will help in early detection and prevention of EHV outbreaks.

AbstractBackgroundTrauma significantly impacts Tanzanian healthcare. Lacking standardized hospital‐based minimal trauma data sets places further challenges for policymakers. In other resource‐limited countries, implementing trauma systems and registries has reduced injury mortalities. In 2013, we introduced an electronic trauma registry, iTRAUMATM at the Tanzanian Muhimbili Orthopedic Institute (MOI) but noted several drawbacks. In 2023, we introduced a robust web‐based trauma registry platform. This study assesses the feasibility and utility of implementing the platform at MOI and summarizes challenges, lessons, and results compared to existing systems.MethodsThis prospective observational study involved clinicians collecting data directly on the platform at the point‐of‐care, following specific training. Semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders identified challenges and areas for improvement. Data were reported from July to December 2023.ResultsData from 2930 patients showed 59% of injuries were from road traffic collisions (RTCs), with 43% of patients arriving at MOI by non‐ambulances. Our findings show that non‐ambulance arrivals were associated with higher injury severity (p < 0.026), mortalities (p < 0.017), and delayed hospital arrival (p < 0.004), underscoring the critical role of prompt transport in trauma management. The new platform identified trauma care gaps, with a mean arrival‐to‐care time of 29.89 min, prompting trauma training at MOI to enhance clinician capacities. It also demonstrated superiority over existing systems by improving data completeness, timeliness, and usability. Challenges included gaining support for the platform's functionality, technology integration, and navigating administrative changes. With continued communication, stakeholder acceptance and support were achieved.ConclusionThe web‐based platform has become MOI's standard trauma database, demonstrating its feasibility and utility. It overcame the existing challenges of data completeness, timeliness, and usability for policymaking. Positive feedback has prompted plans to expand the platform to other hospitals, benefiting clinical benchmarking and trauma preventive efforts. Ensuring sustainability requires involvement from the Ministry of Health, ongoing training, functionality enhancements, and strengthened global partnerships.
Remembering and Forgetting Terror in Berlin
Authors: Karcher Katharina 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIf Leonard Cohen is right, there is a crack in everything. Berlin now has a famous one. It runs through Breitscheidplatz, a square in the heart of the city. On 19 December 2016, a truck drove into a Christmas market at this very spot. The attack killed thirteen people. The names of twelve victims of this terror attack are engraved into the stairs leading to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church at the centre of the square. And, there is a golden crack cutting through the stairs and the square. Installed in 2017, this memorial is a subtle reminder of the attack in 2016. In this essay, the author reflects on the atmosphere at the Breitscheidplatz Christmas market in 2022. It shows that there is a complex interplay of remembering and forgetting.
Sign and Expression (the Concept of the Musical Sign and Its Function)
Authors: Rimas Juozas , Rimas Jr Juozas 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe concept of sign (M. K. Cohen, P. Ricoeur, C. G. Jung, S. Langer, L. Wittgenstein; Boethius, St Augustine). The signs of the notes as a spatial form of music. Syntax, morphology and phonetics in language, including musical language. Interpretation as knowing the meaning from the sign (J. Grondin). The sign has meaning only to the extent that it can be understood (V. Daujotytė). The written signs as the potentiality, and the language and the expression as the actualisation. A text is a system of signs: the sign is something which exists not as an end in itself but as a reference to something other than itself. The result of perception of the intonational links in the structure of the text is expressive intonational activity.
The Foreground and Background (Inner) Dimensions (Forms) of a Musical Work
Authors: Rimas Juozas , Rimas Jr Juozas 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe perception of form as a scheme intersects with the principle of musical form as a process, a becoming. An aesthetic object is divided into a foreground (Vordergrund) that is given in reality, and a background (Hintergrund) that is unreal (N. Hartmann; J. Böhme). What exists (the sensory shape) is the possibility of the path which leads to the perception of what does not yet exist—the essence of the work (A. Maceina, V. Daujotytė). The appearing of the external is a unity belonging to the consciousness of the internal (E. Husserl). The Aristotelian form is the Platonic idea (J. Ortega y Gasset). The insight into the work’s idea is unattainable without the requisite abilities, that is, experience (Vydūnas): the aesthetic value of a work of art depends on the correct interaction between the foreground and the background (A. Šliogeris), and on the appropriateness of the means of expression for the perceived idea of the work. Expression is the externalisation of the inside (i.e., indicated by the prefix “ex”). An “unapparent connection” is stronger than one which is obvious (Heraclitus; A. Adomėnas): the former still has to be made “apparent” through perception and expression.

AbstractCulture and cultural activity, as defined by the Lithuanian philosophers A. Maceina and A. Šliogeris and the French philosopher E. Mounier. Example of the singer’s cultural disposition in the Lithuanian folk song Tu, dobilėli (“You little clover”) (link to recording, sung by the author). Spirit of a person as the source of culture. Importance of consciousness and its evolution for the person in general and the musician in particular (H. Berlioz). Concepts of hermeneutics and musical hermeneutics. Analysis of the understanding of the text in light of the sources of culture which lie concealed within the inner creative force of a person, with reference to the Lithuanian composer J. Švedas and writer B. Sruoga, active in the interwar period.
The Parameters of Time and Expression of Music
Authors: Rimas Juozas , Rimas Jr Juozas 
Published: September 2024

AbstractRetention, protention and intention in musical expression. St Augustine’s perception of the parameters of time (music as the science of good movement) (scientia bene movendi): the manifestation in sound of time felt internally. Musical events: a transition from one contextual situation to another (A. Benditskiy, M. Aranovskiy). Rejection of the static approach to time in favour of the real flow of time (V. Sesemann). The goal of musical expression is to give intonational—temporal—movement to the form of a work. Musical time is the movement of sound structures dictated by the spirit of the work understood by the interpreter.
Einleitung: Verkehr als gesellschaftspolitische Herausforderung
Authors: Canzler Weert , Haus Juliane , Knie Andreas , Ruhrort Lisa 
Published: September 2024

ZusammenfassungLange stand das Automobil für soziale Integration durch Motorisierung und Zugang zu materiellem und kulturellem Kapital. Dafür wurden dem Auto besondere Privilegien eingeräumt und die Verkehrsinfrastruktur systematisch und flächendeckend autogerecht ausgerichtet. Dies wird aber spätestens zum Problem, wenn das Paradigma der unbegrenzten Raumüberwindung an seine ökologischen und funktionalen Grenzen stößt. Die entscheidenden Fragen lauten: Kann eine moderne hocharbeitsteilige Gesellschaft auch mit weniger physischer Beweglichkeit auskommen oder wie kann eine gesellschaftspolitische Perspektive jenseits einer uneingeschränkten räumlichen Mobilität aussehen? Die Corona-Pandemie mit ihren Lockdown-Phasen hat unter anderem auch gezeigt: eine in ihren Mobilitätsoptionen stark eingeschränkte Gesellschaft vergrößert die soziale Ungleichheit und verstärkt tradierte Rollenbilder. Bisher galt eine Korrelation zwischen Wohlstandsniveau und räumlich-physikalischen Verkehr. Es ist eine empirisch offene Frage, ob sich mit höheren Anteilen digitaler Mobilität und einer zumindest partiellen Substitution physisch-räumlicher durch digitale Mobilität dieser Zusammenhang tatsächlich auflöst. Es gibt jedoch Hinweise darauf, dass die Ermöglichungsfunktionen des Automobils gelitten haben und teilweise gar nicht mehr bestehen bzw. von digitalen Optionen zunehmend abgelöst werden. Es könnte also sein, dass sich zumindest Teile der Gesellschaft von den angebotenen Verkehrsmitteln bereits emanzipiert haben. Das Verkehrskleid scheint insgesamt der modernen Gesellschaft nicht mehr recht zu passen.
Generalized holographic complexity of rotating black holes
Authors: Zhang Ming , Sun Jialong , Mann Robert B. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
We explore the generalized holographic complexity of odd-dimensional Myers-Perry asymptotically Anti-de Sitter (MP-AdS) black holes with equal angular momenta within the “complexity equals anything” proposal. We begin by determining the codimension-one generalized volume complexity by finding the extremum of the generally covariant volume functional. Locally, we show that its late-time growth rate aligns with the critical momenta associated with the extremal hypersurfaces. Globally, we discover diverse phase transitions for the complexity at early times, including first-order, second-order, and multicritical transitions. An area law and a phase diagram are proposed to adapt to these phase behaviours, highlighting the effects of the black hole’s angular momentum. At zero time, we define the generalized holographic complexity of formation and examine its scaling relations for both large near-extremal MP-AdS black holes and static charged black holes. We find that the scaling behaviours of the generalized volume complexity of formation maintain uniformity with those of the original holographic complexity formulations, except in cases where the scalar functional defining the generalized holographic complexity is infinite in the vacuum limit or at spatial infinity. Additionally, we show that these findings can be applied to codimension-zero observables.
The defect b-theorem under bulk RG flows
Authors: Shachar Tom , Sinha Ritam , Smolkin Michael 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
It is known that for RG flows confined to a two-dimensional defect, where the bulk maintains its conformal nature, the coefficient of the Euler density in the defect’s Weyl anomaly (termed b) cannot increase as the flow progresses from the ultraviolet to the infrared, a principle known as the b-theorem. In this paper, we investigate whether this theorem still holds when the bulk, instead of being critical, also undergoes an RG flow. To address this question, we examine two distinct and perturbatively tractable examples. Our analysis reveals that a straightforward extension of the b-theorem to these cases of RG flows fails.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Purpose
Polymicrogyria (PMG) is a cortical malformation frequently associated with epilepsy. Our aim was to investigate the frequency and conspicuity of enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) underneath dysplastic cortex as a potentially underrecognized feature of PMG in pediatric and adolescent patients undergoing clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods
We analyzed data from 28 pediatric and adolescent patients with PMG and a matched control group, ranging in age from 2 days to 21 years, who underwent MRI at 1.5T or 3T. T2-weighted MR images were examined for the presence of EPVS underneath the dysplastic cortex. The quantity of EPVS was graded from 0 to 4 (0: none, 1: < 10, 2: 11–20, 3: 21–40, 4: > 40 EPVS). We then compared the presence and quantity of EPVS to the matched controls in terms of total EPVS scores, and EPVS scores underneath the dysplastsic cortex depending on the age groups, the localization of PMG, and the MRI field strength.

Results
In 23/28 (82%) PMG patients, EPVS spatially related to the dysplastic cortex were identified. EPVS scores were significantly higher in PMG patients compared to controls, independent from age or PMG location. No significant differences were observed in EPVS scores in patients examined at 1.5T compared to those examined at 3T.

Conclusion
EPVS underneath the dysplastic cortex were identified in 82% of patients. EPVS may serve as an important clue for PMG and a marker for cortical malformation.

AbstractEcosystems are subjected to increasing exposure to multiple anthropogenic drivers. This has led to the development of national and international accounting systems describing the condition of ecosystems, often based on few, highly aggregated indicators. Such accounting systems would benefit from a stronger theoretical and empirical underpinning of ecosystem dynamics. Operational tools for ecosystem management require understanding of natural ecosystem dynamics, consideration of uncertainty at all levels, means for quantifying driver-response relationships behind observed and anticipated future trajectories of change, and an efficient and transparent synthesis to inform knowledge-driven decision processes. There is hence a gap between highly aggregated indicator-based accounting tools and the need for explicit understanding and assessment of the links between multiple drivers and ecosystem condition as a foundation for informed and adaptive ecosystem management. We describe here an approach termed PAEC (Panel-based Assessment of Ecosystem Condition) for combining quantitative and qualitative elements of evidence and uncertainties into an integrated assessment of ecosystem condition at spatial scales relevant to management and monitoring. The PAEC protocol is founded on explicit predictions, termed phenomena, of how components of ecosystem structure and functions are changing as a result of acting drivers. The protocol tests these predictions with observations and combines these tests to assess the change in the condition of the ecosystem as a whole. PAEC includes explicit, quantitative or qualitative, assessments of uncertainty at different levels and integrates these in the final assessment. As proofs-of-concept we summarize the application of the PAEC protocol to a marine and a terrestrial ecosystem in Norway.

Abstract

Purpose
To analyse diagnostic accuracy of MRI-DWI in detecting residual disease after cholesteatoma surgery and propose an optimum follow-up (FU) scheme.

Method
A retrospective chart review of patients who had cholesteatoma surgery in a tertiary referral centre. 3.0 T non-echo planar diffusion weighted imaging was performed as part of routine FU or indicated on the basis of clinical suspicion of disease. Imaging outcome was verified per-operatively during a second-look procedure or ossicular chain reconstruction. Diagnostic parameters were calculated and stratified by FU length.

Results
For the FU of 664 cholesteatoma surgeries, 1208 MRI-DWI were obtained and 235 second-look procedures were performed. Most MRI-DWI were obtained within 1.5 yrs of surgery. In this period, significantly less true positive MRI-DWI and significantly more false negative MRI-DWI for residual disease were found compared to other FU periods. Scanning after approximately 3 yrs yielded a significantly higher rate of true positive MRI-DWI, while sensitivity surpassed 80%. Younger patients had a higher risk of developing residual disease. Patients undergoing canal wall up surgery, as well as patients < 12 yrs, were at risk for false negative MRI-DWI. Obliteration reduces the risk of residual disease, while leading to less false negative MRI-DWI.

Conclusion
A novel radiologic FU scheme for detecting residual disease is suggested for stable ears after cholesteatoma surgery: standard MRI-DWI approximately 3 and 5 yrs after primary surgery, as well as MRI-DWI after approximately 9 yrs for patients with specific risk factors (i.e., patients < 12 yrs or patients undergoing canal wall up surgery without obliteration).

Abstract
The identification of human fire victims is a challenging task in forensic medicine. The heat-induced alterations of biological tissues can make the conventional anthropological analyses difficult. Even if the DNA profile of the victim is achieved, it is possible that no match can be found in a forensic DNA database, thus hindering positive identification. In such cases, any information useful to nail down a possible identity should be collected, such as DNA methylation analysis which could provide useful investigative leads. In the present study, five age-related epigenetic markers (ELOVL2, FHL2, KLF14, C1orf132, and TRIM59) were initially analysed in blood samples of 72 living Italian individuals of known age, using a Single Base Extension (SBE) assay. An age prediction model was built by multiple linear regression including all the markers (Mean Absolute Error, MAE: 3.15 years). This model was tested on 29 blood samples collected during autopsies from burnt human remains, already identified through DNA analysis, providing a MAE of 6.92 years. The model allowed a correct prediction in 79.3% of the cases (95% prediction interval), while six cases were associated with inaccurate predictions (min-max prediction error: 9.8–37.3 years). Among the different sample variables considered to explain these results, only the DNA degradation index was a relevant factor affecting the reliability of the predictions. In conclusion, the SBE typing of blood from burnt remains proved to be a reliable tool to estimate chronological age of most of the samples, also in consideration of its cost-effectiveness and the availability of CE sequencers in every forensic genetics laboratory.
