AbstractIn patients who underwent surgical myectomy for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), additional mitral valve repair may offer additional benefits in terms of further reducing left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradients, systolic anterior motion (SAM), and mitral regurgitation (MR). We performed a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the evidence of surgical myectomy with additional secondary chordal cutting in patients with HOCM. A systematic literature search in MEDLINE and EMBASE was performed until April 2024. The primary outcome studied was postoperative echocardiographic LVOT gradient. A random effects meta-analysis of means was performed for the primary outcome. The secondary outcomes studied were postoperative residual MR grade, 30-day new permanent pacemaker implantation, and in-hospital mortality. From 1,911 unique publications, a total of 6 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria and comprised 471 patients with a pooled mean preoperative resting LVOT gradient of 84 mm Hg (95% confidence interval [CI]: 76–91). The postoperative pooled mean LVOT gradient was 11 mm Hg (95% CI: 10–12) with a low heterogeneity (I
2 = 44%). The residual LVOT gradient exceeding 30 mm Hg was present in nine (1%) patients. MR grade 3 or 4 at hospital discharge was present in seven (1%) patients. The 30-day new permanent pacemaker implantation rate was 7% and the in-hospital mortality was 0.4%. This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrate that combining surgical myectomy with secondary chordal cutting can be performed safely and effectively eliminate LVOT obstruction in HOCM patients. Further studies are needed to determine the additive effectiveness of additional secondary chordal cuttings.
The Epidemiology of Diverticulitis

Published: October 2024

AbstractDiverticular disease consists of diverticulosis and diverticulitis. Diverticulosis is commonly encountered, and approximately 4% of patients with diverticulosis will progress to develop diverticulitis, which represents a significant health care burden in the United States. Diverticular disease has an increasing incidence both in the United States and globally as important risk factors, including obesity, are becoming more prevalent. The pathophysiology of diverticular disease remains incompletely understood, although geographic and population-based differences in its prevalence and anatomic distribution have generated several hypotheses as to the impact of genetic and environmental factors on development and disease progression. Uncomplicated diverticulitis has had a low mortality rate for the last several decades, but in-hospital mortality approaches 7% for patients with complicated diverticulitis who require emergent surgery. For patients that develop diverticulitis, recent population-based data have led to an improved understanding of which patients will suffer recurrent episodes. This knowledge has facilitated informed discussions with patients and has changed practice in terms of elective surgery.

PyCI is a free and open-source Python library for setting up and running arbitrary determinant-driven configuration interaction (CI) computations, as well as their generalizations to cases where the coefficients of the determinant are nonlinear functions of optimizable parameters. PyCI also includes functionality for computing the residual correlation energy, along with the ability to compute spin-polarized one- and two-electron (transition) reduced density matrices. PyCI was originally intended to replace the ab initio quantum chemistry functionality in the HORTON library but emerged as a standalone research tool, primarily intended to aid in method development, while maintaining high performance so that it is suitable for practical calculations. To this end, PyCI is written in Python, adopting principles of modern software development, including comprehensive documentation, extensive testing, continuous integration/delivery protocols, and package management. Computationally intensive steps, notably operations related to generating Slater determinants and computing their expectation values, are delegated to low-level C++ code. This article marks the official release of the PyCI library, showcasing its functionality and scope.
Graphene-based dual-broadband terahertz absorber with independent frequency and amplitude tunability
Authors: Zhang Chenguang , Tang Chunming , Sun Jinlu 
Published: October 2024

In the design of metamaterials, combining two active materials is acknowledged as an effective strategy for independently manipulating multi-band terahertz wave absorption. However, maneuvering two active materials requires a dual-physical field that is inherently complex and may reduce the modulation sensitivity due to hysteresis effects. In this paper, we present a design for a terahertz absorber based on a single active material that utilizes double-layer graphene arrays to achieve independently tunable dual-broadband absorption. The results show that dual-broadband with more than 90% absorption is obtained in the frequency ranges of 1.03–1.55 THz and 3.59–4.20 THz. Physical mechanistic analysis reveals that dual-broadband originates from hybridized plasmonic mode and localized surface plasmon resonance formed by the lower and upper graphene layers, respectively. Electrically controlling the corresponding graphene layer can implement independent active frequency and amplitude tunability of dual-broadband absorption, with modulation depths of 61.2% and 68.4%. The absorber exhibits polarization insensitivity and maintains dual-broadband absorption properties for a wide range of incidence angles. Moreover, the influence of slight dimensional variations in graphene patterns on absorption properties is also investigated. This dual-broadband absorber allows for independent active control of different parameters and could promote the practical applications of terahertz technology in modulators, detectors, and sensors.
Examining graduate students’ positioning identities in
collaborative digital annotation tools
Authors: Burhan-Horasanlı Elif 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Digital annotation tools (DATs) are one of the recent
digital platforms in which multiple users can read and annotate a
shared document. Scholars have explored the use and impacts of DATs
on peer interaction and documented that collaborative annotation
enables a more learner-centered academic space where students can
facilitate peer learning and socialization. The present study, on
the other hand, shifts the focus and explores the roles of peer
interaction to document three multilingual doctoral students’
micro-level positioning identities in a semester-long DAT activity.
The study’s data involved students’ collaborative annotations on 11
scholarly articles, semi-structured interviews, and demographic
information questionnaires. The data were analyzed with discourse
analysis techniques. Findings indicate that students’ previous
teaching experiences, linguistic and educational backgrounds, and
research interests shaped their annotation behaviors and discursive
choices and thus led to taking different positioning identities. The
study offers pedagogical implications that might cultivate and
foster quality peer interaction and involvement in collaborative DAT
activities.
Legitimation in contested industries
Authors: Catenaccio Paola 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In order to be permitted to carry out their operations, companies need to be perceived as legitimate. Legitimacy is
awarded as a result of a deliberation process whereby the members of a society come to agree that a company’s operations can
be considered beneficial (or at least not harmful) both in principle and in practice. For companies operating in contested
industries, such as mining and agri-biotechnologies, gaining, and maintaining, a ‘social licence’ to operate can be
problematic, and requires extensive engagement in discursively mediated legitimation practices of an argumentative nature.
This chapter seeks to identify the prototypical argumentative patterns deployed in these industries in the service of
corporate legitimation, concluding that they rely on varieties of pragmatic argumentation based on strong
sustainability-framed objects of agreement to which are applied inferential processes ultimately resting on the
locus from final/​instrumental cause.
Argumentative style in international adoption dossiers
Authors: Brambilla Emanuele 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Drawing on recent developments in Pragma-dialectics, this paper explores argumentation in a corpus of international
adoption dossiers (IADs) issued by an Italian adoption agency facilitating adoptions from India. A collection of all the
documents required by the native country of the adopted child, the IAD has an argumentative nature, as it aims at persuading
Indian authorities to approve adoption. The study reveals that it is characterised by a coordinative argumentation structure
and a hybrid argumentative style. This “combination” of detached and engaged styles is prototypical of the communicative
activity type at issue, as it is functional to radiating objectivity and commitment alike, with a view to enhancing the
acceptability of the standpoint concerning the eligibility of Italian prospective adoptive parents.
Teaching to manage implicit linguistic meanings
Authors: Giunta Giulia , Vallauri Edoardo Lombardi 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Conveying information implicitly can reduce epistemic vigilance and critical attention. Commercial advertising and
political propaganda often exploit this property of linguistic implicitness to covertly convey questionable content, leading
to the manipulation of their audience. This highlights the necessity of educating individuals to recognize implicit content
and to critically engage with it, a practice that has not been sufficiently emphasized thus far. The paper provides a survey
of (i) the primary theoretical and experimental studies on the subject and (ii) some educational resources and materials
currently available to the public in Europe, aimed at enhancing awareness regarding the cognitive and social ramifications of
implicit information transmission, particularly through the media. The paper also offers (iii) specific didactic proposals
based on the authors’ research and teaching experiences.
Bentham on rhetoric
Authors: Charnock Ross 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Bentham’s “Book of Fallacies” (1824) presents itself as a form of rhetorical self-defence. The author insists that
the fallacies are invariably used as counter-arguments, blocking political reform and preventing social progress. He claims
that the use of such paralogical techniques is a sure sign of corruption. However, he denies the efficacy of such rhetorical
arguments, insisting that only the weak-minded and ignorant are likely to be persuaded. A comparison of the “Book of
Fallacies” with his “Anarchical Fallacies” shows that his own preferred mode of argument is analytic and atomist rather than
rhetorical.
Bentham expressed radical views on contentious subjects of public importance. His proposals are still widely
discussed in academic circles, but were rarely taken up by posterity. His wholesale denunciation of rhetoric in all its forms
may appear irrational; however, if he believed that his ideas were rejected for purely fallacious reasons, then his attitude
may be explained as a reluctant recognition of the power of rhetoric over reason.
Management by keywords
Authors: Jaworska Sylvia , Stenka Renata , Parlakkaya Emre 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We examine a corpus of integrated reports endorsed as best practice to explore how the concept of ‘capital’ and
its novel extension into six types of capitals — including ‘human’, ‘social and relationship’, and ‘natural’ — are discursively
constructed and legitimised in the corporate field. Our findings show that the new capitals are mentioned frequently, but in a
bullet point-like way without elaboration on their significance — a response strategy that we call ‘management by keywords’. Our
analysis suggests that the collective business mindset remains centred on financial value creation, with the new capitals acting
as servants to financial objectives. This questions the transformative power of the six capitals, hailed as a business innovation,
to move corporate practices towards more social and environmental sustainability via enhanced corporate accountability. At the
conceptual and methodological level, the study showcases the potential of corpus linguistics for fostering interdisciplinary
research involving linguists and scholars in business and accounting.
Query a corpus in near-natural language
Authors: Milička Jiří , Šebestová Denisa 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper addresses the pressing issue of accessibility of corpora to users who are not able or willing to
learn a formal query language. It introduces a working online automatic translator from a near-natural language into
the Corpus Query Language (CQL), as used in SketchEngine, Czech National Corpus web
applications, and other services. The translator does not require strict syntactical patterns and allows for a certain
amount of typing errors, using the redundancy associated with natural language. It allows querying corpora of 35
languages hosted by the Czech National Corpus infrastructure, all of them annotated in the Universal
Dependencies formalism. Alternatively, the translated CQL code can be employed in other compatible systems. The paper
both presents the theoretical assumptions of our solution and outlines the details of its implementation, including
examples of use.
Translating customer identity in male cosmetics advertising
Authors: Eikosideka Aikaterini 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Addressee identity awareness often affects how speakers structure discourses. The study views male cosmetics
advertising through a pragmatic lens to investigate how customer identity is shaped cross-culturally through men’s deodorant
advertisements on the English and Greek market. The study uses communication styles (Hofstede,
Hofstede, and Minkov 2010) to account for (a) naturalistic translation shifts in verbal or multimodal data which tend
to improve product reception in the Greek target context and (b) experimental data to confirm how masculinity is shaped and
attributed to male customers by well renowned deodorant companies. The data analysis reveals that socio-pragmatic parameters are
operative in accounting for differences in the two contexts. Findings show cross-cultural variation along three of Hofstede, Hofstede, and Minkov’s (2010) communication styles, namely,
individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity and uncertainty avoidance/tolerance, correlating it with a fourth dimension of
the framework, the high/low power distance one. The significance of the research lies in that it shows how commercial content
producers register locally shared gender identity assumptions relevant to the audience type they address. Translation is another
platform where pragmatic variation may be fruitfully explored cross-culturally.
Transferring the unfamiliar in Russian and Greek AVT
Authors: Khusainova Alfia 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The study examines transfer strategies in identity construction instances, in Greek and Russian audio-visual translation (AVT) modalities (subtitling and dubbing), of the English animated film for children,
The Rise of the Guardians (2012). It explores whether and how translator awareness of target cultural background may affect the strategies used in the transfer. Results suggest that the level of un/familiarity of a target culture with a source-text (ST) cultural item affects the translation strategies across English-Russian and English-Greek differently, on the basis of preferred politeness orientations (negative and positive, respectively) prevailing in the target environments. Testimonies of film viewers and questionnaire respondents who are unfamiliar with the cultural items confirm aspects of the analysis. The significance of the research lies in that it provides further insight into the way Greek and Russian AVT practices handle and transform English audio-visual unfamiliar entities, which may advance understanding of cross-cultural processes in AVT.
W. B. Yeats
Authors: Nasi Eleni 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The study analyzes three Greek versions of two of W. B. Yeats’ poems, ‘When You Are Old’ and ‘No Second Troy’, both related to the theme of unrequited love, merging feelings of bitterness and love. It examines how power distance manifests itself in the three versions of the poems. The study designed a questionnaire to evaluate potential variation in the type and intensity of feelings shaped in the three Greek versions of the two poems. Findings show that there is variation in the interpersonal distance between the poet and the beloved: some translators seem to emphasize bitterness and empathy on the part of the disappointed poet, while others assume more equal power distribution between the poet and the beloved
The Winter’s Tale on the Greek stage
Authors: Stagaki Iokasti-Rigopoula 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The study examines two Greek target versions (1952, 2004) of Shakespeare’s
The Winter’s Tale (1611) in order to examine how politeness orientations and awareness of power distance change to shape the relational dynamics between characters. In the two target versions male characters vary intra-culturally and interculturally, while themes such as female submissiveness and gender relations show intra-cultural variation. Analysis of naturalistic translation data shows variation in the way certain characters are reshaped in the two versions, which is confirmed by experimental data elicited by a questionnaire. The significance of the research lies in that pragmatics may provide a basis for the study of intra-cultural variation in characters’ identities in a play, and in that translation is a rich resource for tracing pragmatic variation in the manifestation of pragmatic phenomena.
Single-photon and multi-photon Fano lines for helium and neon using tRecX-haCC
Authors: Chundayil Hareesh , Scrinzi Armin , Pramod Majety Vinay 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Single-photon and multi-photon ionization of helium and neon atoms by ultrashort extreme ultraviolet radiation is studied. The wavelength of radiation is chosen to excite a set of doubly excited states. We analyse the lineshapes arising from the presence of doubly excited states and numerically demonstrate the sensitivity of the Fano q parameter to the order of multi-photon process. The computations were performed using the tRecX-haCC package developed by the authors. The tRecX-haCC package solves the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in the presence of a laser pulse and computes the photoelectron spectra including the narrow resonance peaks using the time-dependent surface flux method (tSurff) and iSurf techniques.
Effects of rapid thermal annealing on telecom C-band InAs quantum dots on InP (100) grown by droplet epitaxy
Authors: Chan Chak Lam , Sala Elisa Maddalena , Clarke Edmund , Heffernan Jon 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We demonstrate the effects of rapid thermal annealing on emission from telecom C-band InAs/InP (100) quantum dots (QDs) grown by droplet epitaxy in metal–organic vapour phase epitaxy. Room temperature photoluminescence from the QD ensemble shows a tuned emission wavelength through the C-band and O-band while improving the emission intensity by ∼4.5 times at an annealing temperature of 770 °C. A blueshift of the QD emission up to 430 nm has been achieved. Low-temperature micro-photoluminescence demonstrates single QD emission from the annealed samples with an improvement in linewidth of up to 30%.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Brain-inspired neuromorphic computing systems fueled the emergence of memristor-based artificial synapses, however, conventional silicon-based devices restricted their usage in the wearable field because of their difficulty in bending. To tackle the above challenge, a vertically structured flexible memristor with aluminum-based hydroquinone organic–inorganic hybrid film and Al2O3 as the functional layer, ITO and Pt as the bottom and top electrodes, and PET as the substrate has been developed utilizing molecular/atomic layer deposition to achieve a tradeoff between the resistive transition properties and the flexibility of memristors. The obtained devices combine stable resistive switching behavior and flexibility, showing high switching ratio of 103, better retention (up to 105 s) and endurance properties (up to 104 cycles), and robustness at radius of curvature of 4.5 mm after 104 bending cycles. Furthermore, the presence of multilevel resistive states in these devices ensures that the memristor can emulate synaptic properties such as paired-pulse facilitation, transition from short-term plasticity to long-term plasticity, long-term potentiation and depression, and spike-time-dependent plasticity. The resistive switching mechanism and the role of the bending state on the electrical performance of the device are explored. The fully connected artificial neural network based on the memristor can achieve a recognition accuracy of 90.2% for handwritten digits after training and learning. Flexible memristor will bring feasible advances to the integration of neuromorphic computing and wearable functionality.
Non-equilibrium dynamic hyperuniform states
Authors: Lei Yusheng , Ni Ran 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Disordered hyperuniform structures are an exotic state of matter having suppressed density fluctuations at large length-scale similar to perfect crystals and quasicrystals but without any long range orientational order. In the past decade, an increasing number of non-equilibrium systems were found to have dynamic hyperuniform states, which have emerged as a new research direction coupling both non-equilibrium physics and hyperuniformity. Here we review the recent progress in understanding dynamic hyperuniform states found in various non-equilibrium systems, including the critical hyperuniformity in absorbing phase transitions, non-equilibrium hyperuniform fluids and the hyperuniform structures in phase separating systems via spinodal decomposition.
