PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to develop recommendations for the diagnostic evaluation and surgical management of cutaneous melanoma (CM) and atypical Spitz tumors (AST) and non-Spitz melanocytic tumors (melanocytomas) in pediatric (age 0-10 years) and adolescent (age 11-18 years) patients.

METHODS
A Children's Oncology Group–led panel with external, multidisciplinary CM specialists convened to develop recommendations on the basis of available data and expertise.

RESULTS
Thirty-three experts from multiple specialties (cutaneous/medical/surgical oncology, dermatology, and dermatopathology) established recommendations with supporting data from 87 peer-reviewed publications.

RECOMMENDATIONS
(1) Excisional biopsies with 1-3 mm margins should be performed when feasible for clinically suspicious melanocytic neoplasms. (2) Definitive surgical treatment for CM, including wide local excision and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), should follow National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines in the absence of data from pediatric-specific surgery trials and/or cohort studies. (3) Accurate classification of ASTs as benign or malignant is more likely with immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing. (4) It may not be possible to classify some ASTs as likely/definitively benign or malignant after clinicopathologic and/or molecular correlation, and these Spitz tumors of uncertain malignant potential should be excised with 5 mm margins. (5) ASTs favored to be benign should be excised with 1- to 3-mm margins if transected on biopsy. (6) Re-excision is not necessary if the AST does not extend to the biopsy margin(s) when complete/excisional biopsy was performed. (7) SLNB should not be performed for Spitz tumors unless a diagnosis of CM is favored on clinicopathologic evaluation. (8) Non-Spitz melanocytomas have a presumed increased risk for progression to CM and should be excised with 1- to 3-mm margins if transected on biopsy. (9) Re-excision of non-Spitz melanocytomas is not necessary if the lesion is completely excised on biopsy.

PURPOSE
Metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (mCRC) with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) is associated with poor response to cytotoxic chemotherapy in the refractory setting. Immunotherapy regimens using a combination of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)–based combination therapies have shown promise, although few studies include patients with peritoneal metastases (PMs). This study sought to examine the disease control rate (DCR) and overall survival (OS) of patients treated with PM who were treated with ICB-containing regimens.

METHODS
Patients with pMMR metastatic colorectal cancer treated with ICB-based combination regimens after progression on first- and second-line therapy at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center from 2015 to 2022 were identified. Disease response within each metastatic site was determined. OS and DCR were calculated.

RESULTS

A total of 30 patients with PM, with or without other metastases, had a median follow-up on an ICB containing regimen of 8.5 months and a median follow-up until death or censoring of 13.3 months. The median OS was 16.7 (10.0-Not reported) months, and 18-month survival was 47%. Among patients treated for ≥6 months, DCR at 6 months at each metastatic site was 20% (2/10) for liver, 68% for peritoneum (13/19,
P
= .02
v
liver), 50% for lung (5/10,
P
= .35
v
liver), and 0% for retroperitoneal adenopathy (0/2,
P
= 1.00
v
liver).

CONCLUSIONS
Among patients with mCRC, ICB-based combination regimens can provide disease control in the peritoneum in the majority of patients, and median OS compares favorably to standard-of-care therapy in the refractory setting. Patients with peritoneal disease should be included in future ICB trials since treatment options are otherwise limited.
Scaling of static and dynamical properties of random anisotropy magnets
Authors: Garanin Dmitry A. , Chudnovsky Eugene M. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Recently observed scaling in the random-anisotropy model of amorphous or sintered ferromagnets is derived by an alternative method and extended for studying the dynamical properties in terms of the Landau-Lifshitz equations for spin blocks. Switching to the rescaled exchange and anisotropy constants allows one to investigate the dynamics by using a reduced number of variables, which greatly speeds up computations. The proposed dynamical scaling is applied to the problem of microwave absorption by a random anisotropy magnet. The equivalence of the rescaled model to the original atomic model is confirmed numerically. The method is proposed as a powerful tool in studying static and dynamic properties of systems with quenched randomness.
Periodic information enhancing and controlling stability of complex corporate financial systems
Authors: Zhong Guangyan , Li Jiang-Cheng 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We explore the mechanism and control behavior of how periodic information affects the stability of complex corporate financial systems from two viewpoints: the corporate life cycle and the stability of financial leverage risk. A complex corporate financial system model with correlated noise and periodic driving is proposed. Furthermore, two stability indicators are proposed to measure the stability of the corporate life cycle and the risk of corporate financial leverage. Stochastic simulation results show that enhancing the intensity and frequency of controllable periodic information can improve system stability. The stability of complex corporate life cycles and financial leverage risks exhibits opposite behaviors in terms of noise correlation. In addition, it is observed that there are specific threshold values of system parameters, and the relationship with the intensity of periodic information shows non-monotonic characteristics, manifesting peculiar phenomena and transition behaviors. Finally, by comparing with actual financial data, the proposed model is verified to be superior to the benchmark model.
History in an Unfamiliar Key
Authors: Bryan Joseph D. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractSince the turn of the century, historians have focused on the diverse representations of the past, recognizing that traditional spaces (e.g., museums, statuary, and public commemorations) no longer have a monopoly on the public dissemination of history. This article explores representations of the past from an unusual place: punk rock music and the Canadian band Propagandhi (1986–present). It asks: Can we read history through punk rock? If so, what do we learn? Punks’ treatment of the past should be integrated into how we evaluate public consumption of history. While Propagandhi does not create new knowledge, their music acts as an alternative historical epistemology that tracks alongside professional historians. This article explains how punks have integrated historical material similar to the aesthetics used in punk zines, fashions, and record designs. It then analyzes Propagandhi’s focus on hypocrisy in punk communities through a historical framework, their perception of the early modern European epistemological origins of animal abuse, and their performance of a social history that magnifies the experiences of marginalized peoples.
The Future behind the Mountains and the Sand Dunes

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Moroccan historian Abdallah Laroui’s L’histoire du Maghreb: Un essai de synthèse (The History of North Africa: An Interpretative Essay) (1970) offers a prime example of a former colonized subject’s effort to decolonize the discipline of history. Scholars of Arab and North African historiography have either dismissed it as an ideological text or lauded it as an ambitious attempt to call out French hegemony in its former colonies. This essay offers an alternative reading that underlines its social and political dimensions in the context of Moroccan nation-building in the 1970s. It puts Laroui in dialogue with other intellectual voices of this time to illustrate the originality of his call for the public role of historians of decolonization. The article also discusses Laroui’s political withdrawal in the next decade and his shift from Marxism to liberal state reformism.
Tracking the Economic Contributions West Virginia’s Forest Products Industry During the COVID-19 Pandemic Era: A Look at 2019 Through 2022 Data

Abstract
West Virginia’s forest products industry’s (FPI) contributions to the state’s economy have historically been influenced by factors such as increasing global competition, increasing automation, recessions, the shale gas boom, and more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are limited data regarding the impact of the pandemic on the industry and state economy. Given its importance to the state economy, it is therefore important to examine the effect of the pandemic on the industry and the state economy and its recovery postpandemic. This study quantifies the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on West Virginia’s FPI from 2019 through 2022, highlighting significant recovery postpandemic. As expected, during the peak of the pandemic spanning the periods of 2019 and 2020 marked a decline in the West Virginia FPI performance across all measures of economic contributions. However, the magnitude and length of the adverse impact is not as significant as the impact of the Great Recession. The forestry sector experienced the largest decline in terms of direct and total economic contributions while the furniture sector remained relatively resilient. By 2021, the industry already experienced recovery which continued through 2022. In fact, 2022 levels were higher than the prepandemic levels except for employment and direct employee compensation. In general, most sectors of the industry have shown recovery and are even performing better than before the pandemic, except for the logging sector. The West Virginia FPI has proven its resiliency during the pandemic and capitalized on opportunities to respond to the changing demand for forest products.
All-polarization-maintaining Figure-9 erbium-doped mode-locked fiber laser based on a bidirectionally pumped weak asymmetric NALM

This paper presents, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, an all-polarization-maintaining Figure-9 erbium-doped mode-locked fiber laser utilizing a weakly asymmetric nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM) with bidirectional pumping. In the constructed dispersion-managed Figure-9 erbium-doped mode-locked fiber laser, with a fixed splitting ratio of 0.5, a linear phase shift of 1.5π, and an approximately symmetric distribution of fiber within the loop, we investigated the impact of the bidirectional pumping power ratio on the intracavity asymmetry. By precisely controlling the incremental bidirectional pumping power, while ensuring the self-starting single-pulse operation of the laser, we achieved a mode-locked pulse with a repetition rate of 103 MHz, a direct output pulse width of 284 fs, and an average output power of 58 mW, corresponding to a single-pulse energy of 0.56 nJ. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the highest single-pulse energy achieved in a fully polarization-maintaining erbium-doped Figure-9 mode-locked fiber laser solely by increasing the pump power, without the need for any additional adjustments. Moreover, we constructed a bidirectional pumped dissipative soliton type fully polarization-maintaining Figure-9 erbium-doped mode-locked fiber laser without an actual filter and investigated the changes in output pulse spectral characteristics as the splitting ratio and bidirectional pumping power varied. This study provides significant reference value for future efforts to achieve higher single-pulse energies in Figure-9 mode-locked fiber lasers.

Background
Rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Salmonella Typhi restricts typhoid treatment options, heightening concerns for pan-oral drug-resistant outbreaks. However, lack of long-term temporal surveillance data on AMR in countries with high burden like Bangladesh is scarce. Our study explores the AMR trends of Salmonella Typhi isolates from Bangladesh, drawing comparisons with antibiotic consumption to optimize antibiotic stewardship strategies for the country.

Methodology/Principal findings
The typhoid fever surveillance from 1999 to 2022 included two pediatric hospitals and three private clinics in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Blood cultures were performed at treating physicians’ discretion; cases were confirmed by microbiological, serological, and biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined following CLSI guidelines. National antibiotic consumption data for cotrimoxazole, ciprofloxacin, and azithromycin was obtained from IQVIA-MIDAS database for comparison.
Over the 24 years of surveillance, we recorded 12,435 culture-confirmed typhoid cases and observed declining resistance to first-line drugs (amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, and cotrimoxazole); multidrug resistance (MDR) decreased from 38% in 1999 to 17% in 2022. Cotrimoxazole consumption dropped from 0.8 to 0.1 Daily defined doses (DDD)/1000/day (1999–2020). Ciprofloxacin non-susceptibility persisted at >90% with unchanged consumption (1.1–1.3 DDD/1000/day, 2002–2020). Low ceftriaxone resistance (<1%) was observed, with slightly rising MIC (0.03 to 0.12 mg/L, 1999–2019). Azithromycin consumption increased (0.1 to 3.8 DDD/1000/day, 1999–2020), but resistance remained ≤4%.

Conclusion
Our study highlights declining MDR amongst Salmonella Typhi in Bangladesh; first-line antimicrobials could be reintroduced as empirical treatment options for typhoid fever if MDR rates further drops below 5%. The analysis also provides baseline data for monitoring the impact of future interventions like typhoid conjugate vaccines on typhoid burden and associated AMR.
Artification and Decolonization at the Musée d'Art Africain de l'IFAN, Dakar
Authors: Maguire Caroline Angle 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The first major museum in Senegal, the Musée d'Art Africain de l'IFAN, has its origins in the 1936 creation of the Institut Français d'Afrique Noire (IFAN), a research institute designed to coordinate scientific and ethnographic research on West Africa. The museum's temporary expositions and the first permanent galleries, opened in 1961, presented West African objects organized by ethnic groups and accompanied by photographs, illustrating African daily life to Europeans following ethnographic standards set by the Musée de l'Homme. However, in 1971, administrators redisplayed the objects as examples of aesthetic expression divorced from context. Based on archival research conducted in Dakar, this article reviews this shift, situating it in the contentious postcolonial period and the ongoing debates over European neocolonialism in Senegal. I also argue that the IFAN museum's renovation should be read into debates around what it means to “decolonize the museum.”
Obtaining higher-order Galerkin accuracy when the boundary is polygonally approximated

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Inspired by the methods developed in J. H. Bramble, T. Dupont, and V. Thomée (“Projection methods for Dirichlet’s problem in approximating polygonal domains with boundary-value corrections,” Math. Comput., vol. 26, no. 120, pp. 869–879, 1972), we introduce a new technique that yields a symmetric formulation and has similar performance. The new method is based on a Robin-type problem on an approximate polygonal domain. Optimal error estimates in the energy norm are proved for piecewise quadratics and cubics. We provide numerical experiments that show our theoretical results are sharp.

Objetivo: analisar a distribuição e autocorrelação espacial das taxas de autoteste de HIV. Métodos: estudo ecológico, referente aos autotestes de HIV distribuídos. Os registros foram obtidos a partir de dados secundários do Sistema de Controle Logístico de Medicamentos. Utilizou-se o coeficiente de autocorrelação de Moran para análise estatística da dependência espacial. Resultados: foram analisados 622.822 registros de autoteste de HIV disponibilizados no Brasil, apresentando autocorrelação espacial positiva com o Índice de Moran Global de 0,199 (p=0,046) no período. Ocorreu um aumento das taxas de autoteste de HIV ao longo dos anos, sendo que as maiores taxas estiveram concentradas nas regiões Sul e Norte do Brasil, com maior concentração de distribuição na faixa etária entre 25 e 29 anos. Conclusão: mesmo diante do aumento das taxas de autoteste de HIV, ainda há importantes disparidades entre os estados, sinalizando que estratégias para distribuição do autoteste de HIV e utilização são necessárias no país. Contribuições para prática: este trabalho contribui para fomentar o aprimoramento de estratégias e a (re)formulação de novas políticas de saúde voltadas à expansão do diagnóstico de indivíduos que têm HIV e não sabem.
Ar už politikos mokslo ir ideologijos galima rasti determinizmo ir laisvės antinomiją?
Authors: Jokubaitis Alvydas 
Published: October 2024

The aim of the article is the attempt to prove that in empirical political scien­ce and political ideologies there is no Kantian antinomy of determinism and freedom. The analysis is based on Kant’s conception of transcendental ideas. His understanding of ideas shows why political science cannot be called empirical. Politics is unimaginable without reasons ability to transcend the world of sense and to think in terms of principles that are independent of it. Political judgements correspond to the requirements of reflexive judgement and not to those of determining judgement. Because of the reflexive nature of political judgement, antinomy is solved to the benefit of freedom. Free choice is the basis of science and ideology.

The presented materials of the Expert Council (Moscow, March 29, 2024) are devoted to modern approaches to modifying the risk of tobacco smoking in patients with oncological diseases of the head and neck organs, as well as choosing the optimal scientifically based strategy for quitting smoking or a way to minimize exposure to tobacco smoke for patients who are not motivated to give up from smoking.Smoking cessation is the main focus of cancer prevention. Quitting smoking benefits even after a cancer diagnosis regardless of location and stage of the disease. Treatment plans should include smoking cessation recommendations combining motivational strategies and behavioral therapy, pharmacotherapy based on evidence-based medicine with follow-up and re-treatment as needed. The physician can inform patients not motivated to quit smoking at the moment about the strategy of risk modification by switching to alternative nicotine delivery sources (ANDS as the general name for category of smokeless products) that exclude burning tobacco. In the future, patients who quit smoking traditional cigarettes, but use only ANDS, should be maintained constant smoking cessation and encouraged to abandon alternative sources of nicotine delivery.Given the proven effectiveness of introducing smoking cessation recommendations into practice, it is proposed to develop, on the basis of scientifically based methods and international experience, an algorithm for consulting on smoking cessation assistance and include it in clinical recommendations for the head and neck cancer in section “Prevention and dispensary monitoring, medical indications and contraindications to the use of prevention methods”.
