Creative Imagination, Justice, and Nothingness: Reflections on the “Force” in the Works of Karatani Kōjin and Nakamura Yūjiro
Authors: Matsui Nobuyuki 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper compares the ideas of Japanese philosophers Karatani Kōjin1 (1941–) and Nakamura Yūjirō (1925–2017) on the role of “force” in shaping imagination. This idea of “force” will be examined. Notably, Karatani criticized Nakamura for trying to combine the idea of the “place of nothingness” initially introduced by Nishida Kitarō with the distinctive logic of the Japanese language, which seemed to be insular nationalism. However, this paper argues that we can shed new light on their differences regarding imagination and the idea of “force.” “Force” is the repressed impersonal that returns to the social reality, requiring us to go beyond the existing code of order. Indeed, Nakamura and Karatani explore the possibility of reconstructing the power of imagination after the end of the “grand narrative” and in the postmodern age. This paper emphasizes the role of “nothingness” and different approaches to reformulating it into the field of “force,” finding a new horizon of justice along the way. In doing so, this paper will argue that while Nakamura developed his philosophy of creative imagination in the field of “force” as the surrounding environment, Karatani limited “force” to the plane of social exchange. This comparative view can be more interactive in the age of economic and climate risks if we focus more on the philosophical genealogy of “nothingness.”
4. Les lieux de spectacle forains de Maurice Vonderbeck et Jeanne Godefroy au tournant du XVIIIe siècl
Authors: Porot Bertrand 
Published: October 2024

Cette étude s’attache à décrire les salles foraines des troupes d’acrobates les plus florissantes et les plus appréciées, comme celle de Maurice Vonderbeck, dit Maurice, et Jeanne Godefroy son épouse. Elle se fonde sur un ensemble de documents d’archives, dont certains sont inédits : ils permettent de mieux connaître l’installation, les dimensions, les décors ou le mobilier de ces salles, dès les années 1680. Elles accueillaient des spectacles d’acrobates ou d’opéras-comiques qui participaient à l’intense vie théâtrale parisienne et qui remportaient une vive adhésion du public.
This study describes the fairground theaters of the most successful and popular acrobatic troupes, such as that of Maurice Vonderbeck, known as Maurice, and his wife Jeanne Godefroy. It is based on a series of archives, some of which have never been published before: they provide a better understanding of the installation, dimensions, decor and furniture of these venues, from the 1680s onwards. They hosted acrobats and comic operas, which were part of the intense theatrical life in Paris, and were very popular with the public.
5. Brève de méthodologie : Une « rétro-architecture » pour l’histoire des spectacles
Authors: François Paul 
Published: October 2024

Restituer un théâtre disparu du XVIIIe siècle impose de s’intéresser à des sources de nature différente. Pour le projet VESPACE (Virtual Early Modern Spectacles and Publics, Active and Collaborative Environnement), nous avons développé une méthodologie permettant de tirer parti au mieux de la spécificité de ces documents et de la technologie d’immersion en réalité virtuelle : la rétro-architecture. Elle consiste à reproduire non seulement l’environnement tel qu’il est représenté dans les sources graphiques ou décrit dans des sources littéraires, mais également – c’est la spécificité de cette méthode – à restituer un espace compatible avec les usages attestés et décrits dans une multitude de sources. La rétro-architecture a été appliquée pour VESPACE à un théâtre de marionnettes à la Foire Saint-Germain, dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle et on la suit ici grâce à cinq images clés.
Restoring a lost eighteenth-century theater requires the examination of a variety of sources. For the VESPACE (Virtual Early Modern Spectacles and Publics, Active and Collaborative Environnement) project, we have developed a methodology that takes full advantage of the specific nature of these documents and of virtual reality immersion technology: retro-architecture. This involves not only reproducing an environment as depicted in graphic or literary sources, but also – and this is specific to this method – restoring a space compatible with the uses attested and described in a multitude of sources. Retro-architecture was applied for VESPACE to a puppet theater at the Foire Saint-Germain in the second half of the eighteenth century. In this chapter, this method is summarized in five key images.
Lengthening Atlantic Hurricane Seasons with Earlier Storm Formation Dates Including Implications from 2020

Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper analyzes the formation dates of the nth storm in a sequence for all named North Atlantic tropical cyclones (TCs) and assesses whether the intraseasonal length of the Atlantic hurricane season has changed temporally. The record-breaking 2020 season, with 30 named storms, set records for the earliest third TC formation (Cristobal) and from the sixth TC (Fay) onward. Analysis of season length from 1851 to 2022 identifies only one statistically significant breakpoint detected in the early 1970s, roughly coinciding with the introduction of satellite observations. Since 1970, we also find a trend toward longer North Atlantic hurricane seasons. The 1971–2022 trend is robust and statistically significant, whether assessed as the number of days between the first and last storm or by the distance between intermediate percentiles (e.g., 10th–90th and 15th–85th). These increases are mainly associated with storms forming earlier in the calendar year and are best described as an upward trend rather than a stepwise shift between eras. Although a simple trend fits better than a stepwise model, improvement falls short of significance, so we do not formally reject the stepwise hypothesis. If, following this hypothesis, the 1950–2022 period is segmented into a high-activity era (HAE1; 1950–69), a low-activity era (LAE; 1970–94), and second high-activity era (HAE2; 1995–2022), the median season length of HAE2 is 12 days longer than in the first HAE, but this difference is not statistically significant (p = 0.58) and could be explained by the substantial difference in the observational network. The median season length in both HAE1 and HAE2 are significantly longer (by 36 and 48 days, respectively) than the intervening LAE.
The Causal Relation within Air–Sea Interaction as Inferred from Observations

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The intricate cause–effect relations in air–sea interaction are investigated using a quantitative causal inference formalism. The formalism is first validated with a classical stochastic coupled model and then applied to the observational time series of sea surface temperature (SST) and air–sea turbulent surface heat flux (SHF). We identify an overall asymmetry of causality between the two variables, namely, the causality from SHF to SST is significantly larger than that from SST to SHF over most of the global oceans. Geographically, the coupling is strongest in the tropics and gets weaker substantially in the extratropics. In the midlatitude ocean, SST makes higher contributions to the SHF variability in frontal regions. We further show that the identified causality is space and time scale dependent. The dominance of SHF driving SST occurs at basin scales, whereas the dominance of SST driving SHF mostly occurs at scales smaller than 10°. The causalities in both directions get larger with increasing time scale and are less asymmetric at longer time scales. The seasonality of the causality is also discussed here.
Spiralling Inverse Method: A New Inverse Method to Estimate Ocean Mixing
Authors: Kusters N. , Groeskamp S. , McDougall T. J. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Here, we introduce the Spiralling Inverse Method (SIM) that provides estimates of the small-scale and mesoscale mixing strength. The SIM uses a vertical integral over a balance between the water mass transformation equation and the thermal wind equation. The result is an equation where all terms, except for the mixing strengths, can be obtained from hydrographic data of temperature and salinity. As an advantage, the SIM estimates the mixing strengths without the need for further knowledge of a reference velocity or streamfunction. Here, we apply the SIM to a small region in the North Atlantic. We find that the estimates obtained by the SIM compare well to observations and other (inverse) estimates of the mixing strength. The SIM therefore has the potential to improve and constrain parameterizations used for climate and ecosystem modeling using readily available hydrographic data.

Significance Statement
Ocean mixing is a combination of many different physical processes over a large range of scales in time (from seconds to years) and space (from millimeters to 100 km). Most of these processes are too small to compute in climate models and need to be simplified (parameterized). These parameterizations have a strong influence on climate projections, and their shape and magnitude need to be constrained using observations and indirect estimates of ocean mixing strength. The Spiralling Inverse Method (SIM) is a new method to obtain such constraints of mixing strengths using readily available observations of temperature and salinity. We here test the SIM and confirm its potential to improve mixing estimates and therewith ultimately climate simulations.
Addressing Challenges Associated with Training Sample Sizes for Effective Calibration of NWP Precipitation Forecasts

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Effective calibration of precipitation forecasts produced by numerical weather prediction (NWP) models faces challenges associated with the training sample size. Newly operationalized NWP models may only accumulate a small number of forecasts and thus may limit robust parameter inference in forecast calibration. It is necessary to investigate how the performance of forecast calibration changes with the amount of training data, to determine an effective training sample size. In this study, we thoroughly investigate the impacts of training sample size on precipitation forecast calibration based on the seasonally coherent calibration (SCC) model across Australia. Overall, the performance of the model tends to stabilize in most parts of Australia when raw forecasts of 10 months or longer are used for parameter inference. Whether the training dataset cover wet months substantially affects forecast calibration. The findings of this study are critical for understanding the impacts of training sample size on forecast calibration and will provide implications for future forecast calibration and the generation of hindcasts.

Significance Statement
Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models have been widely used to predict future precipitation. The predictions often need to be improved to correct systematic errors, which can be achieved by training the predictions on previous forecasts. How much training data are needed for effective error correction remains unclear. We investigate how training sample sizes affect error correction and validate that the seasonally coherent calibration model could correct weather prediction errors using a small amount of training data in Australia, effectively addressing challenges related to training sample size in the postprocessing of NWP forecasts.
Reconversion or Exclusion? The Effects of Blue Economy Policies on Semi-industrial and Artisanal Fishing in Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Authors: Obando Campos Alexa , Latorre Sara 
Published: October 2024

Although trawling stopped definitively in 2019 in Costa Rica, there is an ongoing debate regarding the broader policies derived from the Blue Economy. These have focused on the productive conversion of the fleet (salaried fishers) toward more profitable activities related to tuna fishing, aquaculture, and tourism. This paper takes a political economy approach to oceans and livelihoods, analyzing how the Blue Economy agenda has been implemented in Costa Rica, and what effects this is having on semi-industrial and artisanal fisherpeople in Puntarenas communities. We seek to contribute to critical studies of marine-coastal development and its social consequences in relation to environmental (in)justices in Central America, an underexplored topic in the region. A pesar de que la pesquería de arrastre tuvo su cierre definitivo en el 2019 en Costa Rica, el debate sigue presente y relacionado con las políticas más amplias derivadas de la economía azul. Éstas se han venido centrando en la reconversión productiva de la flota -los pescadores asalariados - hacia actividades más rentables, relacionadas con la pesca de atún, la acuicultura y el turismo. Este artículo a través de los enfoques de economía política de los océanos y medios de vida, analiza cómo la agenda de economía azul se materializa en Costa Rica a través de estas políticas, y qué efectos está teniendo en los pescadores semi-industriales y artesanales de comunidades de Puntarenas. Con ello, se busca contribuir a los estudios críticos de desarrollo marino-costero y a las consecuencias sociales en términos de (in)justicias ambientales en Centroamérica, un ámbito poco explorado en la región.
Indigenous Autonomies in Latin America in the Face of Contemporary Capitalism: Overview, Perspectives and Dilemmas, Part 1
Authors: Martínez Navarrete Edgars , Stahler-Sholk Richard 
Published: October 2024

The contemporary phase of capitalism has led to an intensification of the process of “accumulation by dispossession,” which entails a growing conflict between territorial displacement and indigenous resistances. These conflicts manifest in projects for autonomy that take on diverse forms. Here, we address the origins of these various concepts of autonomy while focusing on their corresponding dilemmas and strategic choices across different historical contexts. Finally, we look at the examples of Zapatista autonomy in Mexico, the experiences of the Purépecha community of Cherán, and the Mapuche struggle in Wallmapu/Chile, three distinct models where organizational processes themselves forge new collective subjectivities meant to confront neoliberal capitalist dispossession. La fase contemporánea del capitalismo ha generado una intensificación del proceso de “acumulación por desposesión,” lo cual implica crecientes conflictos entre el despojo territorial y las resistencias indígenas. Éstas se manifiestan en formas diversas de proyectos de autonomía. Analizamos el origen de las variantes del concepto de autonomía, enfocando en sus correspondientes dilemas y sus opciones estratégicas en diversos contextos históricos. Finalmente, consideramos las experiencias de la autonomía zapatista, la comunidad purépecha de Cherán, y la lucha mapuche en Wallmapu/Chile, tres modelos distintos en donde el propio proceso organizativo forja nuevas subjetividades colectivas para enfrentar el despojo del capitalismo neoliberal.

Objectives An open label, single-centric, post market clinical study was undertaken to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new antimicrobial wound dressing (VELVERT) as an adjuvant therapy in the treatment of venous leg ulcer (VLU). Methods Patients with VLU of grade C-5 according to CEAP classification and above were evaluated using doppler ultra sound. The efficacy of new antimicrobial wound dressing (VELVERT) was assessed in terms of wound area reduction within a time frame of 60 days and surgeon questioners. Patients were evaluated for VELVERT safety and pain level on a scale of 0-10 Numeric Pain Chart. Presence of micro-organism load was monitored at regular time interval. Results VELVERT treatment was effective as 71.43% reduction in the ulcer area was observed. After 60 days, a total of 9 (45%) patients had complete ulcer closure. A remarkable decrease in the severity of pain was observed with 11 (55%) patients expressing no pain at the EOT. Swab test showed negative result for micro-organism growth. No serious adverse events were observed during the trial. Conclusion The data indicates that VELVERT is an effective treatment for VLUs and showed the potential in the wound care of VLUs.
Model-predictive optimal control of ferrofluidic microrobots in three-dimensional space

Published: October 2024

Ferrofluid microrobots have emerged as promising tools for minimally invasive medical procedures. Their unique properties to navigate complex fluids and reach otherwise inaccessible regions of the human body have enabled new applications in targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diagnostics. This paper proposes a model-predictive controller for the external magnetic manipulation of ferrofluid microrobots in three dimensions (3D). The internal optimization routine of the controller determines appropriate changes in the applied electromagnetic field to minimize the deviation between the actual and desired trajectories of the microrobot. A linear system governing locomotion is derived and used as the equality constraints of the optimization problems associated with the feedback index. In addition to ferrofluid droplets, the controller presented in this work may be applied to other magnetically-pulled microrobots. Several experiments are performed to validate the controller and showcase its ability to adapt to changes in system parameters such as the desired tracking trajectory and the size, orientation, deformation, and velocity of the microrobot. The accuracy of the controller is analyzed for each experiment, and the average error is found to be within 0.25 mm for small velocities. An additional experiment is performed to demonstrate significant improvement over a PID controller that is optimally tuned using Bayesian optimization. The results presented in this paper suggest that the proposed control algorithm could enable new microrobotic capabilities in minimally invasive medical procedures, lab-on-a-chip applications, and microfluidics.

Published: October 2024

Background New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a challenging and understudied primary headache disorder with no known effective treatment. Although the International Classification of Headache Disorders criteria require that the new onset continuous headache be present for at least three months before diagnosing NDPH, the biologic basis for when a new, continuous headache starts to behave as NDPH is unknown, and some pediatric headache experts consider that the minimum duration criterion could be shorter. Methods In this retrospective study, we reviewed the intake questionnaires and medical records of 5–17 year-olds seen in neurology clinic for headache at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Those with a new onset continuous headache of at least one month in duration were eligible. The patient's self-report and clinician's description both had to indicate that the headache was new, of abrupt onset, and continuous to be included, although patients were allowed to have a prior history of infrequent headaches. We compared headache outcomes at last follow-up and at one year after continuous headache onset between those who had a continuous headache duration of 1 to <3 months (“new onset headache”, or NOH) at first visit vs. those with ≥3 months (NDPH). We used multivariate regression modeling to examine for predictors of headache outcomes. Results Of 472 patient records reviewed, 172 met the inclusion criteria for analysis. Of these, 84 had a headache duration of 1 to <3 months in duration and 88 had a duration of ≥3 months. Those with shorter duration continuous headache were younger (median (interquartile range) 13.5 (11.1–15.7) vs. 15.1 (12.3–16.5) years, and less likely to have previously received a prescription preventive for the continuous headache (n = 14 (17%) vs. 26 (30%), p = 0.046), but were otherwise similar to those with NDPH in terms of baseline clinical and demographic variables. Sixty-five (74%) of those with NDPH and 60 (71%) with NOH had follow-up data. At last clinic follow-up, 41/65 (63%) with NDPH and 43/60 (72%) with NOH had experienced any headache benefit ( p = 0.307), although 39/65 (60%) with NDPH and 29/60 (48%) with NOH still had continuous headache ( p = 0.191). Headache duration was not associated with outcomes in multivariate regression modeling. Conclusions Headache outcomes of children and adolescents with new onset continuous headache, whether of 1 to <3 months (NOH) or ≥3 months in duration (NDPH) are suboptimal. More research is needed to improve treatment outcomes for this patient population.

Published: October 2024

Purpose: To evaluate a minimally invasive transblepharoplasty subperiosteal suture-suspended brow lift that was developed by the senior investigator (N.A.N.) to restore the brow complex in the setting of visually significant brow ptosis. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all patients who underwent this procedure by a single surgeon (N.A.N.) from 2008 to 2022. The primary outcome measure was the change in margin-reflex distance 1 (MRD1) and brow-reflex distance (BRD), measured from the pupillary reflex to the first row of brow cilia. Results: A total of 32 patients (61 eyes) were included, with an average age of 68% and 53% were female. Brow ptosis in 3 patients was unilateral due to unresolved Bell’s Palsy. The average follow-up was 76 days. Statistical analysis of bilateral cases revealed post-operative brow elevation (mean right BRD +2.82 mm [ P < .001] and left BRD +2.42 mm [ P < .001]) and upper eyelid elevation (mean right MRD1 +1.99 mm [ P < .001] and left MRD1 +1.71 [ P < .001]). Brow ptosis recurred in 3 patients bilaterally, and there were no long-term complications. Conclusions: This surgical technique is an effective and safe minimally invasive option for patients with brow ptosis. It completed under light sedation without the need for endoscopic equipment.
