Abstract
The crustal and upper mantle structure of the Beishan orogenic collage, which serves as the southern part of the middle Central Asian Orogenic Belt, provides crucial insights into the history of the multiple openings and closings of the Paleo-Asian Ocean during the Paleozoic. There is considerable dispute over the eventual closure position, timing, and subduction polarity of the Paleo-Asian Ocean, particularly in the southern Beishan orogenic collage. The main cause of these controversies is the lack of a high-resolution lithospheric structure in this area. In this study, we first present a 140-km-long, high-resolution seismic reflection profile taken across the northern Dunhuang Block and the southern Beishan orogenic collage. The seismic imaging provides new constraints on the structure of the lower crust, the Moho, and the upper mantle beneath the southernmost Central Asian Orogenic Belt. A subhorizontal reflector in the middle crust, two sets of north-dipping reflectors from the lower crust to the upper mantle, and several south-dipping reflectors in the upper crust in the northern part of the profile were imaged. Based on our study and other geological, chronological, and geophysical data, we propose that the two sequences of north-dipping reflectors from the lower crust to the upper mantle represent two stages of north-dipping subduction of the southern branch of the Paleo-Asian Ocean. The first stage in the southern Beishan orogenic collage is Late Silurian–Early Devonian, and the second stage is late Carboniferous–Early Permian. The two-stage subduction process gave rise to the Huaniushan arc and the subsequent Shibanshan arc, respectively. These findings provide new constraints on the controversial subduction polarity and the multistage amalgamation of the microcontinental blocks and arcs in the southern Central Asian Orogenic Belt.

Published: October 2024

BackgroundStreet and working children (SWC) and young people (YP) are highly vulnerable to violence, exploitation, hazardous environments and human rights violations. While the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and the International Labour Organisation provide some guidance, there is limited information on their right to healthcare. This study aims to identify enablers and barriers to healthcare access for SWC and document associated rights violations.MethodsFrom 2000 to the present, we conducted systematic searches for SWC (0–18 years) in databases including MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EBSCO, PUBMED and PROQUEST, using broad search terms related to street children, working children, healthcare access and rights. The searches were supplemented by grey literature and hand searches. Two independent reviewers finalised the included studies, and data were analysed using a rights-based framework with narrative analysis and thematisation.ResultsThe initial search yielded 7346 articles (5972 for street children and 1374 for working children), with 35 studies (18 for street children and 17 for working children) included in the review. Most studies on working children (13/17) focused on trafficking/commercial exploitation. Studies were predominantly from Africa, followed by the USA, Asia, the UK and Canada, with only two employing a rights framework. SWC face barriers such as cost, distance, visibility/accessibility of services, stigma, seclusion, threats of violence, lack of legal documents, crisis-oriented healthcare use and self-medication. Enablers included agency, self-efficacy, positive relationships with adults and proactive healthcare use when accessible. Emergency departments are frequently accessed by SWC, indicating a need for healthcare professionals to be trained and sensitised. Holistic and comprehensive healthcare is essential.ConclusionSignificant research gaps exist, with many SWC populations under-represented. SWC share healthcare access barriers with other marginalised groups. Healthcare for SWC must be tailored to their unique needs and strengths and be holistic and trauma-informed.

Published: October 2024

BackgroundIn many countries, persons seeking medical abortion with mifepristone followed by misoprostol can self-administer the second drug, misoprostol, at home, but self-administration of the first drug, mifepristone, is not allowed to the same extent.ObjectivesThis systematic review aims to evaluate whether the efficacy, safety and women’s satisfaction with abortion treatment are affected when mifepristone is self-administered at home instead of in a clinic.Search strategyA literature search covered CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE and APA PsycInfo in October 2022.Selection criteriaEligible studies focused on persons undergoing medical abortion comparing home and in-clinic mifepristone intake. Outcomes included abortion effectiveness, compliance, acceptability, and practical consequences for women.Data collection and analysisTwo reviewers independently assessed eligibility and risk of bias. Meta-analysis included similar studies while those differing in design were synthesised without meta-analysis.ResultsSix studies (54 233 women) of medical abortions up to 10 weeks were included. One randomised controlled trial and one retrospective register study had moderate risk of bias, and four non-randomised clinical trials where women could choose the place for intake of mifepristone had serious risk of bias. There was no difference in abortion effectiveness (high confidence) or compliance (moderate confidence) between mifepristone administered at home or in-clinic. No differences in complications were detected between groups and most women who chose home administration of mifepristone expressed a preference for this approach.ConclusionsOur systematic review demonstrates that the effectiveness of medical abortion is comparable regardless of mifepristone administration and intake, at home or in the clinic.
Vaginal and pelvic recurrences and salvage treatments in a cohort of Danish endometrial cancer patients not given adjuvant radiotherapy
Authors: Ørtoft Gitte , Fokdal Lars Ulrick , Høgdall Claus 
Published: October 2024

ObjectiveIn Denmark, adjuvant radiotherapy has gradually been omitted after surgery in endometrial cancer. This study analyses the impact of this strategy on patterns of recurrence and outcome after salvage radiotherapy. Moreover, the potential effect of adjuvant radiotherapy is estimated in the non-low-risk cohort.MethodsThe cohort included 3723 consecutive Danish patients with endometrial cancer who had radical surgery without adjuvant treatment (2005–2012). The patients were divided into low-risk (stage 1A, endometrioid, grades 1, 2 and no lymph-vascular space invasion) and non-low-risk. Crude/actuarial recurrence rates evaluated the number of patients who might have benefited from additional adjuvant radiotherapy.ResultsWithin 9 years’ observation time using crude recurrence rates, 13.4% recurred.The rate of isolated vaginal recurrences was 2.9% in low-risk compared with 6.7% in non-low-risk patients. Isolated pelvic recurrences were 0.8% in low-risk compared with 2.1% in non-low-risk patients. In all, 15.8% of non-low-risk patients died from endometrial cancer, mainly due to primary or secondary non-local recurrences (a later non-local recurrence after a primary isolated local recurrence). Only 0.6% and 1.1% of all non-low-risk patients died from an isolated vaginal or pelvic recurrence, respectively. In all, 86% of all patients with an isolated vaginal recurrence were treated with curative intent. Of these, 72% were given radiotherapy with a local control rate of 91% (crude rate). However, even though only 5.8% died of an unsuccessfully treated isolated vaginal recurrence after curative intended radiotherapy, 23.1% died from a secondary non-local recurrence, while 22.3% died from other causes.ConclusionThe Danish strategy of omitting adjuvant radiotherapy is safe. Adjuvant external beam radiotherapy may have prevented isolated local recurrences in 8.7% of the Danish non-low-risk patients, but a majority of these patients were salvaged by curative radiotherapy with 91% and 70% crude local control rates for isolated vaginal and isolated pelvic recurrences, respectively.

On the high accuracy to test dragging of inertial frames with the LARES 2 space experiment

Published: October 2024

AbstractIn this paper we treat some aspects of the LARES 2 space experiment to test the general relativistic phenomenon of dragging of inertial frames, or frame-dragging, in particular we discuss some aspects of its relative accuracy which can approach one part in a thousand. We then, once again respond to the criticisms of the author of a recent paper about the accuracy in the measurement of frame-dragging with LARES 2. The claims of such a paper are not reproducible in any independent analyses. Indeed, it claims that the accuracy in the test of frame-dragging, which can be reached by the LARES 2 space experiment, is several orders of magnitude larger than previously estimated in a number of papers. Here we show that such a paper is based on a number of significant misunderstandings and conceptual mistakes. Furthermore, it is puzzling to observe that previous papers by the same author contained completely opposite statements about the accuracy which can be reached using two satellites with supplementary inclinations, such as in the LARES 2 space experiment, and in general with laser-ranged satellites.
Light fermion masses in partially deconstructed models
Authors: Kan Nahomi , Shiraishi Kiyoshi , Takeuchi Maki 
Published: October 2024

AbstractConsidering a theory space consisting of a large number of five-dimensional Dirac fermion field theories including background abelian gauge fields, we can construct a theory similar to a continuous six-dimensional theory compactified with two-dimensional manifolds with and without magnetic flux or orbifolds as extra dimensions. This method, called dimensional deconstruction, can be used to construct a model with one-dimensional discrete space, which represents general graph structures. In this paper, we propose the models with two extra dimensions, which resemble two-dimensional tori, cylinders, and rectangular regions, as continuum limits. We also try to build a model that mimics one with the two-dimensional orbifold compactification.
LLM-Enhanced Composed Image Retrieval: An Intent Uncertainty-Aware Linguistic-Visual Dual Channel Matching Model
Authors: Ge Hongfei , Jiang Yuanchun , Sun Jianshan , Yuan Kun , Liu Yezheng 
Published: October 2024

Composed image retrieval (CoIR) involves a multi-modal query of the reference image and modification text describing the desired changes, allowing users to express image retrieval intents flexibly and effectively. The key of CoIR lies in how to properly reason the search intent from the multi-modal query. Existing work either aligns the composite embedding of the multi-modal query and the target image embedding in the visual domain through late-fusion or converts all images into text descriptions and leverage large language models (LLM) for text semantic reasoning. However, this single-modality reasoning approach fails to comprehensively and interpretably capture the users’ ambiguous and uncertain intents in the multi-modal queries, incurring the inconsistency between retrieved results and ground truth. Besides, the expensive manually annotated datasets limit the further performance improvement of CoIR.
To this end, this article proposes an LLM-enhanced Intent Uncertainty-Aware Linguistic-Visual Dual Channel Matching Model (IUDC), which combines the strengths of multi-modal late-fusion and LLMs for CoIR. We first construct an LLM-based triplet augmentation strategy to generate more synthetic training triplets. Based on this, the core of IUDC consists of two matching channels: the semantic matching channel is responsible for intent reasoning on the aspect-level attributes extracted by an LLM, and the visual matching channel accounts for the fine-grained visual matching between multi-modal fusion embedding and target images. Considering the intent uncertainty presented in the multi-modal queries, we introduce Probability Distribution Encoder (PDE) to project the intents as probabilistic distributions in the two matching channels. Consequently, a mutually enhanced module is designed to share knowledge between the visual and semantic representations for better representation learning. Finally, the matching scores of two channels are added to retrieve the target image. Extensive experiments conducted on two real datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our model. Notably, with the help of the proposed LLM-based triplet augmentation strategy, our model achieves a new record of state-of-the-art performance among all datasets.
Does Action Observation of the Whole Task Influence Mirror Neuron System and Upper Limb Muscle Activity Better Than Part Task in People With Stroke?
Authors: Sulfikar Ali A. , Bhat Mayur , Palaniswamy Hari Prakash , Ramachandran Selvam , Kumaran Senthil D. 
Published: October 2024

Background: Task‐based action observation and imitation (AOI) is a promising intervention to enhance upper limb (UL) motor function poststroke. However, whether whole/part task must be trained in the AOI therapy needs further substantiation.Objective: The objective of this study is to assess and compare the mirror neuron activity and UL muscle activity during AOI of reaching task in terms of whole task (complete movement) and part task (proximal arm movements and distal arm movements).Methods: In this cross‐sectional study, 26 participants with first‐time unilateral stroke were asked to observe the prerecorded videos of a reaching task in terms of a whole task and proximal and distal components, followed by imitation of the task, respectively. Electroencephalographic (EEG) mu rhythm suppression and electromyographic amplitude of six UL muscles were measured during the task.Results: The analysis of EEG revealed a statistically significant mu suppression score, indicating mirror neuron system activity, during AOI of the whole task in C3 (p = <0.001) and C4 (p = <0.001) electrodes compared to the part task. Percentage maximum voluntary contraction amplitudes of the deltoid (p = 0.002), supraspinatus (p = <0.001), triceps brachii (p = 0.002), brachioradialis (p = 0.006), and extensor carpi radialis (p = <0.001) muscles showed a significant increase in muscle activity during AOI of the whole task. Also, there seems to be a task observation–specific activation of muscles following AOI of proximal or distal tasks.Conclusion: The practice of the whole task should be given emphasis while framing the AOI treatment module to enhance reaching in people with stroke.Trial registration: Clinical Trials Registry‐India (CTRI) identifier: CTRI/2018/04/013466.
When Is a Menorah a “Menorah”? Text and Realia from Asia Minor
Authors: Wilson Mark 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Menorahs found at sites in Asia Minor have been a primary indicator of the presence of Jewish communities in its cities. Menorahs were found in all three of the structures identified as synagogues in Turkey. This article addresses the following question: When is a menorah a “menorah”? It first discusses a translation conundrum related to a well-known text addressed to Jesus’ followers in seven cities in western Asia Minor by John, the author of Revelation. It then provides an extended discussion regarding menorahs and symbols identified as menorahs at sites in Rough Cilicia in southeastern Asia Minor. Finally, it assesses each one so as to determine whether it could properly considered a menorah.
Digital Rights in Palestine: Prospects of a Constitutional Judicial Review
Authors: Qandeel Mais 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
A set of rights and freedoms are protected by constitutions and interpreted by the competent judiciary. The increasing use of information and communication technologies (ICT s) creates new legal challenges to rights and their judicial interpretation. This article aims at analysing the prospects of the Palestinian Supreme Constitutional Court (SCC) concerning digital rights, while considering political and legal challenges. In doing so, it begins with a brief introduction to the concepts of digital right and digital constitutionalism. The article further describes the status of digital rights in Palestine and evaluates the role of the SCC in the adjudication of the constitutionality of the laws in relation to human rights protection on the internet. It finally offers proposals for understanding the necessity for constitutional protection of digital rights in Palestine through judicial review. It argues that the Palestine needs constitutional modernisation to address the legal implications of technologies on human rights.
Contributions of Ottoman Fatwā Collections to Inheritance Law: An Analysis of Legal Opinions by the 16th-Century Chief Muftīs
Authors: Saǧlam Hüseyin , Toprak M. Bedrettin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article investigates the contributions of Ottoman fatwā collections to inheritance law, focusing on the 16th-century chief muftīs’ fatāwā. It emphasizes the significance of fatawa in understanding Ottoman inheritance law and explores various aspects of the division of estate, highlighting the socio-legal dynamics and the use of fatawa by individuals seeking legal advice. Within this framework, it examines why individuals preferred obtaining fatawa from chief muftīs for the division of the estate over other options. The methodology of this study involved a comprehensive analysis of fatwā collections from 16th-century Ottoman chief muftīs, focusing on categorizing and interpreting these fatawa to understand their impact on inheritance law. The study reveals that economic considerations, complex family structures, mathematical issues in estate division, and specific legal situations significantly influenced individuals’ preference for seeking fatāwā. Through analyzing fatwā collections, the study uncovers economic motivations behind this preference, revealing how fatāwā offered a cost-effective solution for heirs, alongside addressing specific legal challenges like ‘awl and munāsakha.
5. Iannis Xenakis in Japan: Productive Performances and Reception of Texts
Authors: Mizuno Mikako 
Published: October 2024

The last two decades produced remarkably excellent Xenakis performers who were born in Japan and who have generated a new phase of Xenakis performances in Japan. They succeeded the first generation which had shared the same years of the avant-garde after WWII with the composer.
This chapter examines Xenakis’s interactions with Japanese musicians for the Osaka World Fair (1970) and the preparatory process of Hibiki-Hana-Ma in the NHK electronic music studio and that had made important footprints on musical concepts for then- contemporary Japanese composers. The Steel and Iron Pavilion in the Osaka World Fair, designed by Kunio Maekawa, was equipped with an original sound system comprising 1008 speakers. Yuji Takahashi, Minao Shibata, and Toru Takemitsu (as well as Seiji Ozawa) were strongly impressed by Xenakis’s rather unique procedure of creating music. The millennium successors experienced several important Xenakis events in Japan during their younger days: the world premiere in Tokyo of Horos, Xenakis being awarded the prestigious Kyoto Prize, Suntory Hall’s original production of Oresteia, the recording of Synaphai with Horoaki Ooi, and so on. This chapter thereby introduces the performance history of Xenakis’s work in Japan.
