Presumed intracranial and spinal subdural empyema secondary to periorbital abscesses in a golden retriever
Authors: Thong Patricia , Wolfenden Guy , Badsha Dazlyn , Lenard Zoe 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIntracranial and spinal subdural empyema was presumptively diagnosed in a 2‐year‐old golden retriever secondary to periorbital abscesses. The patient initially presented to the referring veterinarian for right eye conjunctivitis, intermittent left head turn and reluctance to eat on the left side. The patient then suffered neck trauma from a rope, developing neck pain, left‐sided conscious proprioceptive deficits and right‐sided Horner's syndrome. Most signs resolved with medical management at the referring veterinarian, but neck pain persisted. Severe acute neurological deterioration occurred before presentation at our hospital, culminating in decerebrate rigidity and opisthotonos. Neurological exam revealed multifocal intracranial disease. Magnetic resonance imaging showed periorbital abscesses and extensive intracranial and cervical spinal subdural empyema. The owners elected for euthanasia and declined postmortem examination. Cerebrospinal fluid sampled immediately postmortem confirmed empyema. This is the first report of a presumed case of intracranial and cervical spine subdural empyema caused by periorbital abscesses in a dog.
Introduction
Authors: McIvor Charlotte , Walsh Ian R. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThis Introduction outlines the structure of the book as it surveys contemporary Irish theatre from 1957 to the present in a two-part structure. Part I: Histories, situates the theatrical activity of twentieth- and twenty-first-century Ireland within its social and political contexts, identifies key practitioners, landmark productions, institutions, festivals and seminal revivals. Part II: Theories, offers five key theoretical frameworks—nation, language, body, space and interculturalism—to examine contemporary Irish theatre practices in the Republic and Northern Ireland. The deliberate decentralising of the play text and playwright as the most important nodal points for understanding the progression of contemporary Irish theatre is argued and the decision to foreground the contributions of artistic directors, scenographers, actors, directors, activists and administrators justified.
Conclusion
Authors: McIvor Charlotte , Walsh Ian R. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe authors here attempt to underpin the logic followed in their construction of a landscape of contemporary Irish theatre. Acknowledging how they built on the feminist counter-canonical interventions of the last 20 years the authors tease out how this publication is for them a feminist text. They know the book cannot be read exclusively as a feminist text, or as one type of feminist text but feel as a cisgender female and male writing team it is important politically, pedagogically and methodologically to claim the subtle refrain of the feminist text that guided the criteria for inclusion and discussion in terms of overall balance of representation across theatre case studies. They end by inviting readers to take this project forward to its next iteration.
Rapid Change, Revision and the “Troubles” (1966–1980)
Authors: McIvor Charlotte , Walsh Ian R. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe late 1960s and 1970s saw Ireland’s acceptance into the European Economic Community in 1973, educational reform, revisionist histories, increased urbanisation and the outbreak of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland, all of which prompted a break with previous convictions and ideologies. This chapter shows how theatrical activity reflected this change in its themes and practices with a new generation of directors and designers. An emphasis on regionalism led to the establishment of the Irish Touring Company and the founding of Druid in Galway. There were political experimentations in form, dramas critical of Catholic morality and plays that confronted the violence in the North. The Abbey produced seminal Beckett revivals, while productions at the Project Arts Centre brought the underrepresented urban working class to the fore.
The Celtic Tiger, Inward-Migration and the Peace Process (1994–2008)
Authors: McIvor Charlotte , Walsh Ian R. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe mid-1990s-late 2000s saw an explosion of fragmentation and experimentation in theatrical form with the economic transformation of Ireland during this Celtic Tiger period of financial growth, low unemployment and drastically improved Debt/GDP ratio. Unprecedented inward-migration and the establishment of a peace process in Northern Ireland allowed a greater diversity of theatrical work to be created and circulated globally. The dramatic text was decentralised with movement, dance and scenography increasingly taking centre stage and site-specific and/or site-responsive work developed. But the figure of the Irish playwright as globalised phenomenon and key reference point for Irish theatre was also rejuvenated through key successes while Druid Theatre Company revitalised the legacy of J. M. Synge as an early twentieth-century Irish master with their globally successful phenomenon DruidSynge.
Searching for Metaphors: Exploring Teacher Candidates’ Epistemological Frames
Authors: Hughes Richard , Brown Sarah Drake 
Published: June 2024

AbstractHughes and Drake Brown consider history teacher candidates’ conceptualization of the relationship among historians, history teachers, and history students, and they investigate the ways that teacher candidates’ understandings are manifested in their work in classrooms. Drawing from qualitative research on fifteen teacher candidates in the United States and the artifacts participants choose to represent their teaching identity, the authors argue that a significant break exists between teacher candidates’ understanding of the discipline of history, their articulated purposes as teachers, and the work that they perform with students during clinical experiences. The study underscores the importance of understanding not just the epistemology of emerging teachers, but also the complex relationship between their developing knowledge and actual classroom instruction.
Epistemological Issues in Teaching Global History
Authors: Gauthier-Trépanier Antoine 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIn this chapter, the author proposes to address some epistemological issues involved in teaching world history at the college level in Quebec, Canada. Indeed, because of the diversity that now characterizes history classes, but also the globalization of the issues that define our world today, it seems increasingly necessary to approach history from a global perspective. However, this perspective implies a reassessment of the aims associated with the teaching of history, which in Quebec is primarily thought of in a national context inscribed in the heritage of Western civilization. Thus, it raises numerous questions. Among them, what kind of global history is at stake, and how will teachers have to modify their relation to knowledge to adapt to the new program?
Why Does Epistemology Matter? A Personal Journey
Authors: Maggioni Liliana 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe chapter addresses the development of epistemic cognition in history by merging the perspectives afforded by developmental studies of epistemic cognition and consciousness with the insights gained from the literature exploring the development of historical understanding and epistemically charged ideas such as evidence and historical accounts. Given the results obtained by studies attempting to assessing individual epistemic beliefs in history and teacher and student capacity to think historically, Maggioni proposes to interpret the instances of epistemic inconsistency and the challenges and limitations in developing the capacity to think historically that have been observed in light of the developmental psychology literature, and in particular of Kegan’s model of epistemic development. The chapter includes the identification of specific ideas and habits of mind that may act as stumbling blocks in the development of epistemic cognition in history and suggestions for pedagogical practice.
Elementary School Teachers’ Perspectives on History, 1920–1946
Authors: Samuelsson Johan 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIn this chapter Samuelsson looks at types of epistemic perspectives of history taught in Swedish elementary schools in 1920–1946. The material used consists of a large collection of 600 teachers’ descriptive accounts of teaching, as collected in 1946. The material provides a unique insight into teaching in the period, in part granting new perspectives on teaching. Even if the teachers had an objectivist perspective on history, Samuelsson argues that they also used a more constructivist perspective: Pupils worked with statistical yearbooks, collected historical artefacts and worked independently on various tasks. Samuelsson then relates these results to, among others, Klafki’s theory on teaching.
Mapping Teachers’ Epistemic Beliefs in Collegial Planning
Authors: Nordgren Kenneth 
Published: June 2024

AbstractNordgren explores a complementary path to teachers’ epistemic cognition that goes beyond the predominant focus on individual thinking. Based on a longitudinal project that follows teachers engaged in planning in subject-based teams, this chapter focuses on how teachers’ epistemic beliefs evolve in the act of pedagogical recontextualization. Methodologically, the collegial setting allows real-time access to teachers’ negotiations and decisions about content, learning goals, sequencing, and adjustments to students’ needs, without the filters of questionnaires and interviews. Theoretically, the findings problematize the analytical use of categorical epistemic stances and the separation of epistemic from non-epistemic objectives within teachers’ epistemic beliefs. Nordgren thus shows how history teachers’ planning takes place within an intricate web of epistemic choices regarding ontological assumptions, classroom management, and almost everything in between.
Going Beyond the Scoring Grid: How the Topic of Assessment Can Promote Reflection on Epistemic Beliefs and Agency in History Education
Authors: Duquette Catherine , Brunet Marie-Hélène , Dufour Arianne , Lille Benjamin 
Published: June 2024

AbstractAn overarching aim of professional development for teachers in history education is to foster a more complex understanding of the discipline. Yet, substantial research underlines the stability of history teachers’ epistemological beliefs, demonstrating the difficulties they experience in shifting from their existing positivist approach to a more critical mindset. Could some contexts be more favorable to enhancing epistemic agency through in-depth reflection? This chapter discusses the potential of examining assessment as a method of encouraging teachers to question their epistemological understanding of history. Based on the results of a study conducted with six Quebec teachers, it illustrates how questioning assessment practices in a collaborative approach creates a space favorable to epistemological wobbling.
JT gravity from non-Abelian T-duality
Authors: Bielli Daniele , Penati Silvia , Ramirez Anayeli 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We study the geometries obtained by performing super non-Abelian T-duality of the Principal Chiral Model on OSp(1|2). While the initial model represents an appropriate 3D supergravity background, interpretable as the superspace version of AdS3, the T-dual model fails solving the 3D supergravity torsion constraints. We argue that this has to do with a factorisation pattern taking place under dualisation: the dual 3D geometry can be rewritten as the supersymmetric version of AdS2, satisfying the supergravity constraints, fibered over what we interpret as the superspace equivalent of the standard bosonic line. We discuss an interesting connection between T-duals of generic Principal Chiral Models and Poisson sigma models. We exploit it to show that in a suitable limit the dual action studied in this work gives rise to JT (super)gravity.
Entanglement harvesting in cosmic string spacetime
Authors: Ji Ying , Zhang Jialin , Yu Hongwei 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We investigate the entanglement harvesting phenomenon for static detectors that locally interact with massless scalar fields in the cosmic string spacetime, which, though locally flat, features a conical structure defined by a deficit angle. Specifically, we analyze three detector alignments relative to the string: parallel and orthogonal alignments with detectors on the same side of the string, and an orthogonal alignment with detectors on opposite sides of the string. For the alignments on the same side of the string, we observe that the cosmic string’s presence can either aid or hinder entanglement harvesting, affecting both the extent of entanglement harvested and the achievable range of interdetector separation. This effect depends on the distance between the detectors and the string and differs markedly from scenarios in a locally flat spacetime with a reflecting boundary, where the boundary invariably extends the harvesting-achievable range. Conversely, for the alignment with detectors on opposite sides of the string, we find that detectors consistently harvest more entanglement than those in a flat spacetime devoid of a cosmic string. This starkly contrasts the behavior observed with detectors on the same side. Interestingly, the presence of a cosmic string expands the harvesting-achievable range for detectors in orthogonal alignment only when near the string, whereas it invariably reduces the achievable range for detectors in parallel alignment.

Abstract
We present higher-derivative deformations of the ModMax theory which preserve both U(1) duality symmetry and Weyl invariance. In particular, we single out a class of deformations expected to describe a low-energy effective action for the ModMax theory. We also elaborate on (higher-derivative) deformations of the $$ \mathcal{N} $$

Published: June 2024

Abstract
We study the expected sensitivity to the mixing between sterile and tau neutrinos directly from the tau neutrino disappearance in the high-energy fixed target experiment. Here, the beam energy is large enough to produce tau neutrinos at the target with large luminosity. During their propagation to the detector, tau neutrinos may oscillate into sterile neutrinos. By examining the energy spectrum of the observed tau neutrino events, we can probe the mixing between sterile and tau neutrinos directly. In this paper, we consider Scattering and Neutrino Detector (SND) at SHiP experiment as a showcase, which uses 400 GeV protons from SPS at CERN, and expect to observe 7,300 tau and anti-tau neutrinos from the 2 × 1020 POT for 5 years operation. Assuming the uncertainty of 10%, we find the sensitivity |Uτ4|2 ∼ 0.08 (90% CL) for $$ \Delta {m}_{41}^2 $$

INF2 formin variants linked to human inherited kidney disease reprogram the transcriptome, causing mitotic chaos and cell death
Authors: Labat-de-Hoz Leticia , Fernández-Martín Laura , Correas Isabel , Alonso Miguel A. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractMutations in the human INF2 gene cause autosomal dominant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)—a condition characterized by podocyte loss, scarring, and subsequent kidney degeneration. To understand INF2-linked pathogenicity, we examined the effect of pathogenic INF2 on renal epithelial cell lines and human primary podocytes. Our study revealed an increased incidence of mitotic cells with surplus microtubule-organizing centers fostering multipolar spindle assembly, leading to nuclear abnormalities, particularly multi-micronucleation. The levels of expression of exogenous pathogenic INF2 were similar to those of endogenous INF2. The aberrant nuclear phenotypes were observed regardless of the expression method used (retrovirus infection or plasmid transfection) or the promoter (LTR or CMV) used, and were absent with exogenous wild type INF2 expression. This indicates that the effect of pathogenic INF2 is not due to overexpression or experimental cell manipulation, but instead to the intrinsic properties of pathogenic INF2. Inactivation of the INF2 catalytic domain prevented aberrant nuclei formation. Pathogenic INF2 triggered the translocation of the transcriptional cofactor MRTF into the nucleus. RNA sequencing revealed a profound alteration in the transcriptome that could be primarily attributed to the sustained activation of the MRTF-SRF transcriptional complex. Cells eventually underwent mitotic catastrophe and death. Reducing MRTF-SRF activation mitigated multi-micronucleation, reducing the extent of cell death. Our results, if validated in animal models, could provide insights into the mechanism driving glomerular degeneration in INF2-linked FSGS and may suggest potential therapeutic strategies for impeding FSGS progression.
Low Tropospheric Wind Forecasts in Aviation: The Potential of Deep Learning for Terminal Aerodrome Forecast Bulletins
Authors: Alves Décio , Mendonça Fábio , Mostafa Sheikh Shanawaz , Morgado-Dias Fernando 
Published: June 2024

AbstractIn aviation, accurate wind prediction is crucial, especially during takeoff and landing at complex sites like Gran Canaria Airport. This study evaluated five Deep Learning models: Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Vanilla Recurrent Neural Network (vRNN), One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1dCNN), Convolutional Neural Network Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM), and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) for forecasting wind speed and direction. The LSTM model demonstrated the highest precision, particularly for extended forecasting periods, achieving a mean absolute error (MAE) of 1.23 m/s and a circular MAE (cMAE) of 15.80° for wind speed and direction, respectively, aligning with World Meteorological Organization standards for Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF). While the GRU and CNN-LSTM also showed promising results, and the 1dCNN excelled in wind direction forecasting over shorter intervals, the vRNN lagged in performance. Additionally, the autoregressive integrated moving average model underperformed relative to the DL models, underscoring the potential of DL, particularly LSTM, in enhancing TAF accuracy at airports with intricate wind patterns. This study not only confirms the superiority of DL over traditional methods but also highlights the promise of integrating artificial intelligence into TAF automation.
The role of job strain in the relationship between depression and long-term sickness absence: a register-based cohort study
Authors: Jarroch Rand , Falkstedt Daniel , Nevriana Alicia , Pan Kuan-Yu , Kauhanen Jussi , Almroth Melody 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Purpose
Though individuals with depression and those with poor working conditions are more likely to be on long-term sickness absence (LTSA), less is known about how working conditions may modify the associations between depression status and LTSA. This study aims to examine the association between depression and LTSA among Swedish workers with different levels of job strain and its individual components (job demands and job control).

Methods
All Swedish workers 30 − 60 years old (N = 3,065,258) were studied in 2005. At baseline (2005–2010), workers were categorized as: without depression, being prescribed antidepressants, and being in inpatient/outpatient care. Job strain was measured using a Swedish Job Exposure Matrix, and data on LTSA were obtained from 2011 to 2021. The association between depression and LTSA was assessed using Cox proportional-hazards regression stratified by categories of job strain.

Results
Compared to workers without depression, workers with depression had higher risk of LTSA across all job strain levels. Depression was associated with the highest hazards of LTSA in active jobs, but a similar population attributable fraction (PAF) was found across categories of job strain, indicating similarities between the different categories.

Conclusion
There was evidence of a moderating effect of job strain in the relationship between depression and LTSA, but also evidence that this was due to differences in baseline depression prevalence in the different job strain categories. Future research is needed to determine alternative factors which could be relevant for reducing LTSA among those who have already developed depression.

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe toxicologist ascertains drug assumptions in case of paediatric intoxications and death for overdose. The analytical approach consists of initially screening and consequently confirming drug positivity. We developed a toxicological screening method and validated its use comparing the results with a LC–MS/MS analysis. The method identifies 751 drugs and metabolites (704 in positive and 47 in negative mode). Chromatographic separation was achieved eluting mobile phase A (10 mM ammonium formate) and B (0.05% formic acid in methanol) in gradient on Kinetex Phenyl-Hexyl (50 × 4.6 mm, 2.6 μm) with 0.7 mL/min flow rate for 11 min. Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) was adopted as survey scan and, after an Information-Dependent Analysis (IDA) (threshold of 30,000 for positive and 1000 cps for negative mode), the Enhanced Product Ion (scan range: 50–700 amu) was triggered. The MS/MS spectrum generated was compared with one of the libraries for identification. Data processing was optimised through creation of rules. Sample preparation, mainly consisting of deproteinization and enzymatic hydrolysis, was set up for different matrices (blood, urine, vitreous humor, synovial fluid, cadaveric tissues and larvae). Cut-off for most analytes resulted in the lowest concentration tested. When the results from the screening and LC–MS/MS analysis were compared, an optimal percentage of agreement (100%) was assessed for all matrices. Method applicability was evaluated on real paediatric intoxications and forensic cases. In conclusion, we proposed a multi-targeted, fast, sensitive and specific MRM-IDA-EPI screening having an extensive use in different toxicological fields.
