Abstract C133: The missing cancer and palliative care in displaced community in Northeast India
Authors: Acharya Suryakanta 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Introduction: Cancer is a chronic illness needing long treatment. This includes late toxicity management in case of cure and palliative care if cure is a distant possibility. Northeast part of India shares international border with Bangladesh and both sides had witnessed geopolitical uncertainty since India’s independence in 1947. Unrest and military rule in East Pakistan made the citizens to flee to India which continued even after the creation of the new country Bangladesh in 1971. However, the poor migrants are not eligible under the public health scheme due to lack of proof of citizenship. Methods: We have analyzed the public health scheme and issues of migrants in Northeast India after observing discontinuity in care. Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY) is a national public health insurance scheme of the Government of India that aims to provide free access to health insurance coverage for low- income earners in the country. The scheme is applicable to Indian citizens. In 2019 Government of India passed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) to provide Indian citizenship to the illegal migrants who entered India on or before 31st December 2014. However, the exercise to identify migrants as per the Act is a tedious process and not yet over.: Results: Until the exercise of granting citizenship under the Citizenship Amendment Act is done, the poor migrants who have no proof of citizenship cannot take benefit under AB PM-JAY scheme. Unfortunately, some internally displaced Indian citizens are lacking proof of citizenship and many of them are suffering from chronic illnesses and cancer, however neither afford to pay for treatment nor eligible to get free treatment under AB PM-JAY scheme. Conclusions: Northeast India migrant issue is a special situation where poor migrants from other country and some displaced poor Indians are not eligible to get cancer care under public health insurance scheme. The Citizenship Amendment Act provides a solution by granting citizenship. However, the tedious process is taking long time and no solution being offered in the interim period.

Abstract C145: EPHA4 correlates with different functions and clinical outcomes in different breast cancer subtypes
Authors: Liu Wenchao , Rosner Marsha 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Ephrin receptor A4, or EPHA4, is a receptor tyrosine kinase that regulates neuronal stem cell maintenance and is implicated in multiple neuronal diseases. Accumulating studies have shown that EPHA4 may also play important roles in cancer progression, and pharmacological EPHA4 modulators have been tested in preclinical models as potential therapies. In breast cancer, EPHA4 is shown to regulate cancer cell invasion, stemness, and immune response. However, as breast cancer is a heterogenous disease, it is unclear whether and to what extend EPHA4 regulates these functions across different breast cancer subtypes and patient populations. To determine EPHA4 functions and potential benefit of targeting EPHA4 in different patient populations, we analyzed clinical and gene expression data from three patient cohorts: TGCA Firehose, I-SPY2 and SCAN-B. Our results show EPHA4 may be involved in angiogenesis and cell migration across all subtypes. While EPHA4 most strongly correlates with immune response in the Her2 subtype, its correlation with stemness and therapeutic resistance is more prominent in the triple negative/basal subtype. We conclude that EPHA4 inhibition maybe most beneficial for triple negative/basal patients.

Abstract C161: Rare Invasive Plasmacytoid Urothelial Carcinoma Presenting as Post-Renal Acute Kidney Injury: A Case Report
Authors: Uzeda Andressa , Shastri Toral , Moalem Kamilia , Van Kirk Kendra 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Purpose: Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma stands out as a rare and highly aggressive histological subtype within the spectrum of bladder carcinomas, constituting only 1-3% of all variants. Summary: In this case report, we present the case of a 72-year-old patient who initially presented with significant obstructive uropathy and hydronephrosis secondary to invasive plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma. Admission labs were concerning for a hemoglobin level of 3.8, requiring 3 units of red blood cells for correction, potassium level of 8.8, for which urgent hemodialysis was given, and a lactate level of 5.4. The patient subsequently developed delayed hematuria one month later. Follow-up CT imaging revealed an alarming increase in the size of the bladder mass, underscoring the rapid progression of the malignancy. Discussion: The aggressive nature of this malignant neoplasm can be attributed to its diffuse pattern of infiltration and high risk of residual disease following radical surgery. Clinical manifestations often include abdominal pain, but lack early-onset hematuria and other urinary symptoms typically seen with other subtypes, leading to diagnostic delays and late-stage identification. Conclusion: This case report highlights the uncommon clinical presentation of plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PUC), manifesting as obstructive nephropathy. The inherent aggressiveness associated with PUC poses a challenge in treatment due to the advanced stage of the malignancy at the time of diagnosis. The scarcity of guidelines for the management of PUC underscores the need for extensive future studies to bridge this gap.

Abstract
Background: Alarmed by low rates of cancer screening in disenfranchised communities and medical deserts in Southern California, City of Hope launched a cancer prevention and control training program to broadly disseminate cancer screening and healthy living educational resources to Health Educators who serve the most vulnerable within our Catchment areas. Methods: The project was IRB approved as exempt came internally from City of Hope. To increase cancer prevention and uptake of cancer screening, we focused on training of Community Health Workers (CHW) from Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC’s), community hospitals, faith-based organizations. This community co-designed training included Cancer 101 , on best practice for Breast, Cervical, Colorectal, Lung, and Prostate screening, and Clinical and Biospecimen Studies and SB 987. Complete and online redcap enrollment survey, along with 2 brief pre and post surveys per series topic. The presentations and surveys will be facilitated by COE staff. Trainees completed surveys via RedCap. Surveys will be conducted via Redcap. Results: TTT series trained 101 trainees on 8 topics. Trainees included: Asian (14.9%), Black/African-American (6.9%), Latino/Hispanic (73.3%), Pacific Islander (2.0%), White/European American (5, 5.0%), Mix (3.0%). The gender identities trained were Male (10.9%), Female (87.1%), Transgender: Female to Male (2.0%). Facilitators of screening included Someone to talk about worries/fears about cancer (73.0%), Someone to go with and help at the appointment (53.0%), Paid time off from work (63.0%), Clinical provider recommendation/encouragement (57.0%), Free/ Low cost exams (81.0%), Insurance to pay for exams (68.0%), Free transportation (64.0%), Child care services (53.0%), In-language educational materials (62.0%), Language Interpretation services (51.0%), Community education programs (66.0%), Gift Cards or Incentives (4.0%).The participants' education level was mostly college educated (64.0%), high school (33.0%), and less than high school (3.0%). The top 3 cancers affect our community the most are breast, colon, and lung. Conclusion: The conclusion is community partners are ready to be engaged and trained in cancer prevention and screening. Cancer centers, leveraging their COE, can respond to this call to action.

Aesthetics and Politics of Participation in Benoît
Maubrey’s Speaker Sculptures
Authors: Keylin Vadim , Maubrey Benoît 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article discusses the aesthetic and political aspects of Speaker Sculptures, an ongoing series of participatory, site-specific sound artworks by the artist Benoît Maubrey. Informed by pragmatist aesthetics and combining artwork analyses with ethnographic observations, the text focuses on the expressive affordances of the sculptures and the way participants act on them. Using a variety of communication technologies, Speaker Sculptures artworks bridge the gaps between public, private, and virtual spaces and allow the participants to perform in public spaces without being physically present in them. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s theory of the public as the political, Nicolas Bourriaud’s relational aesthetics, and Chantal Mouffe’s antagonism theory, this article discusses the political implications of such performances.
Deep Nonnegative Matrix Factorization With Beta Divergences

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Deep nonnegative matrix factorization (deep NMF) has recently emerged as a valuable technique for extracting multiple layers of features across different scales. However, all existing deep NMF models and algorithms have primarily centered their evaluation on the least squares error, which may not be the most appropriate metric for assessing the quality of approximations on diverse data sets. For instance, when dealing with data types such as audio signals and documents, it is widely acknowledged that ß-divergences offer a more suitable alternative. In this article, we develop new models and algorithms for deep NMF using some ß-divergences, with a focus on the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Subsequently, we apply these techniques to the extraction of facial features, the identification of topics within document collections, and the identification of materials within hyperspectral images.
The reliquary shrine of Saint Odilia in Borgloon (1292): An iconographical reconstruction
Authors: Reyniers Jeroen 
Published: September 2024

A remarkable thirteenth-century reliquary shrine of Saint Odilia kept in the Church of Saint Odulphus in Borgloon (Belgium) – notably the oldest dated example of panel paintings in the Low Countries – has been the topic of several art historical studies. These studies attempt to unravel the iconography of the painted panels, indicating how they should be interpreted, and in which order. The difficulty of this, however, lies in the fact that the reliquary shrine has been fully overpainted but also dramatically modified in the seventeenth century to fit into a smaller location. In the process, the original roof panels were modified, with sawn-off elements lost to time. The reliquary shrine, commissioned by the Order of the Holy Cross in Huy (Belgium) in 1292, depicts multiple scenes, on all sides, that illustrate the life of Saint Odilia.
Scholars have regularly drawn on published legends of Odilia from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, but no consensus on the source of the images has ever been reached. The current article, however, draws attention to a much earlier, fifteenth-century manuscript of the legend of Saint Odilia that is kept in the library of the University of Liège. The manuscript, written by Wolterus of Nijmegen in 1467 with references to an even older version from 1291, has rarely been associated with the reliquary shrine, but it is of vital importance for the analysis and interpretation of the paintings. In bringing this version of the legend of Saint Odilia together with recent material-technical research carried out at the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA) in Brussels, a new iconographic analysis and reconstruction of the reliquary shrine is presented here.
It can now be verified that each panel had to be read from left to right, with the first roof scene with the arrival of the virgins in Rome originally positioned above the murder scene in Cologne. The second scene on the roof, where Saint Ursula receives the Pope’s blessing, was placed above the excavation and translation of Odilia’s relics. Additionally, the depiction of Saint Ursula with a banner can be seen as a highly unusual example of panel painting in the Low Countries, and it probably even shows the oldest depiction of the Pope in relation to the Saint Ursula cult. Finally, this study shows how the shrine was used: each pilgrim was given the opportunity to experience the legendary life of Saint Odilia in chronological order by walking around the reliquary shrine not once, but twice.
Jansenist Education and Racine’s Intertextuality in European Context: Can an Early Modern Translation of Andromaque Help Revisit an Old Concept?
Authors: Bajer Michał 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The article deals with the intertextual dimensions of Jean Racine’s tragedy Andromaque and its rendering by the seventeenth–century Polish translator Stanisław Morsztyn. The analysis is based on an old hypothesis concerning the link between Racine’s intertextual literary practice and his erudite education at the Petites écoles de Port-Royal. The translator, although he had not received Jansenist education, was able to identify correctly and develop the original strategy of quotations and allusions. The article attempts to seek the factors that helped the Polish translator render the intertextuality of Andromaque in another cultural context. Three such factors have been proposed—the tradition of neo-Latin poetry developed both in France and in Poland, the Italian Petrarchism (along with the idea of sprezzatura), perceived not as a store of topics but as a pattern of free operation with Ancient allusions. The similarity between Racine’s education and that of Morsztyn, which combined the influence of the Polish Brethren with homeschooling, could have been the third factor. The article closes with a question concerning the perspectives of cultural studies in intertextual strategies of poets connected with various religious circles of the seventeenth century.
Les Leçons de Ténèbres: Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Holy Week in Louis xiv’s France
Authors: Asmus Michael Thomas 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The Tenebrae Lessons were important components of Holy Week in baroque France. While François Couperin’s (1668–1733) settings of the Tenebrae Lessons hold a significant place in both the repertoire and scholarly literature, Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s (1643–1704) voluminous settings of the Tenebrae Lessons deserve a place alongside those by Couperin. This article first outlines the liturgy of the Tenebrae service. Second, it examines the welcoming and influences of the Italian style on the French Leçons de Ténèbres at a time when Lully’s seizure over stage music was complete. Third, it illustrates the influence of secular music-making on this important Liturgical Office. Fourth, it briefly discusses the importance of rhetoric for Charpentier and his contemporaries and rhetoric’s influence on Charpentier’s compositional style of liturgical music.
Behavioral laterality in Greater Flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus)

Published: September 2024

Abstract
From a behavioral adaptation perspective, lateralization in gregarious species likely evolved to maintain cohesiveness among individuals, particularly in behaviors related to social life that require higher levels of cognitive capabilities. Thus, we hypothesized that motor coordination (lateralization) would be observed at the population level rather than at the individual level. To test this hypothesis, we studied population-level laterality in a wild population of Greater Flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) during the winter in Eilat, Israel. In November and December 2019, we recorded 176 behaviors in 220 flamingos, observing four behaviors: ‘At rest,’ ‘Vigilant,’ ‘Scratching,’ and ‘Preening’. The laterality indices for ‘At rest’ and ‘Vigilant’ were similar to those of ambidextrous simulated populations, indicating that these behaviors were not lateralized. However, ‘Preening’ and ‘Scratching’ were significantly left-lateralized. We conclude that at the population level, the symmetry of these behaviors results from flock pressure to coordinate population-level behaviors. Furthermore, the mechanism of lateralization is characteristic not only of the local population but of the entire species sensu stricto.
Estimation of the Uncertainty in Daytime Cirrus Cloud Radiative Forcing and Heating Rates Due to Ice Crystal Optics

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The uncertainties in absolute daytime top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) net cirrus cloud radiative forcing (CRF) and radiative heating rates are estimated at five Micro-Pulse Lidar Network (MPLNET) sites spanning the tropics to high-latitudes. One year of semi-transparent cirrus cloud (optical depth < 3.0 and cloud top temperature < −37 °C) measurements are subject to spectrally-consistent optical properties for nine different ice crystal habits, thus providing a range of possible forcing values. The annual average absolute daytime TOA net CRF is positive at Barbados, Kanpur, and, Singapore (0.59–0.67, 0.61–0.65, and 1.94–2.09 W∙m−2, respectively), negative at Fairbanks (−0.67 to −0.28 W∙m−2), and can regularly become positive or negative at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) (−0.06 to 0.32 W∙m−2). The TOA CRF depends on ice crystal shape; in particular, plates lead to relatively large absolute values that decreases for bullet rosettes and columns. Uncertainties in daytime cirrus cloud radiative properties are estimated as the standard deviation of all possible outcomes when considering the different particle habits individually. Annually, the average uncertainty of the absolute daytime TOA net CRF ranges from 0.50–1.80 W∙m−2. In-cloud daytime net radiative heating rates are positive, on average, at all five sites (0.25–3.84 K/day) and have an estimated uncertainty of less than 0.30 K/day. The uncertainties in cirrus radiative forcing and heating that are characterized by assumptions regarding the ice crystal optical properties must be considered in downstream applications, including satellite retrievals and numerical weather prediction.
The structural compactness of a tropical cyclone seed affects its persistence
Authors: Lu Kuan-Yu , Chavas Daniel R. , Wang Danyang 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Tropical cyclones (TC) are often generated from pre-existing “seed” vortices. Seeds with higher persistence might have a higher chance to undergo TC genesis. What controls seed persistence remains unclear. This study proposes that planetary Rossby wave drag is a key factor that affects seed persistence. Using recently developed theory for the response of a vortex to the planetary vorticity gradient, a new parameter given by the ratio of the maximum wind speed (Vmax) to the Rhines speed at the radius of maximum wind (Rmax), here termed “vortex compactness” (Cv), is introduced to characterize the vortex weakening by planetary Rossby wave drag. The relationship between vortex compactness and weakening rate is tested via barotropic β-plane experiments. The vortex’s initial Cv is varied by systematically varying their initial Vmax and Rmax in idealized wind profile models. Experiments are also conducted with real-world seed vortices from reanalysis data, which possess natural compactness variability. The weakening rate depends strongly on the vortex’s initial Cv across both idealized and real-world experiments, and the initial axis-asymmetry introduces minor differences. Experiments doubling the size of seed vortices cause them to weaken more rapidly, in line with other experiment sets. The dependence of the weakening rate on initial compactness can be predicted from a simple theory, which is more robust for more compact vortices. Our results suggest that a seed’s structure strongly modulates how long it can persist in the presence of a planetary vorticity gradient. Connections to real seeds on Earth are discussed.
