Nonlinear Decision Rules Made Scalable by Nonparametric Liftings
Authors: Han Eojin , Nohadani Omid 
Published: July 2024

Sequential decision making often requires dynamic policies, which are computationally not tractable in general. Decision rules provide approximate solutions by restricting decisions to simple functions of uncertainties. In this paper, we consider a nonparametric lifting framework where the uncertainty space is lifted to higher dimensions to obtain nonlinear decision rules. Current lifting-based approaches require predetermined functions and are parametric. We propose two nonparametric liftings, which derive the nonlinear functions by leveraging the uncertainty set structure and problem coefficients. Both methods integrate the benefits from lifting and nonparametric approaches, and hence provide scalable decision rules with performance bounds. More specifically, the set-driven lifting is constructed by finding polyhedrons within uncertainty sets, inducing piecewise-linear decision rules with performance bounds. The dynamics-driven lifting, on the other hand, is constructed by extracting geometric information and accounting for problem coefficients. This is achieved by using linear decision rules of the original problem, also enabling one to quantify lower bounds of objective improvements over linear decision rules. Numerical comparisons with competing methods demonstrate superior computational scalability and comparable performance in objectives. These observations are magnified in multistage problems with extended time horizons, suggesting practical applicability of the proposed nonparametric liftings in large-scale dynamic robust optimization.

Sequential occurrence of primary cutaneous indeterminate cell histiocytosis after oesophageal cancer and subsequent bullous pemphigoid: a case report
Authors: Jia Xiaoxiao , Shen Liling , Zhu Lu , Liu Dun 
Published: July 2024

Abstract Aims/Background Indeterminate cell histiocytosis is a rare proliferative histiocytic disease with an unknown aetiology, which shares immunophenotypic features of both Langerhans cells and macrophages. There is a relationship between indeterminate cell histiocytosis and cancer, while there are no reports about indeterminate cell histiocytosis and bullous pemphigoid. In this study, we reported the rare case of a patient with primary cutaneous indeterminate cell histiocytosis who had been diagnosed with oesophagal cancer and later developed bullous pemphigoid. The objective of this clinical case report is to analyse the association between solid tumours and indeterminate cell histiocytosis and focus on the coexistence of indeterminate cell histiocytosis and bullous pemphigoid in a patient with cancer. Case Presentation This study presented the case of a 75-year-old man who exhibited annular erythema lesions of variable size and papules scattered over his chest, abdomen, and limbs, along with four bullae on his thigh, persisting for 1.5 months. The patient also had a 9-month history of oesophageal cancer treated with radical radiotherapy. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed cutaneous indeterminate cell histiocytosis. Bullae and blisters developed on the lower limbs 38 days after treatment. A diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid was established based on clinical and histopathological features and results of direct immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Histopathological examination of the abdominal lesion revealed an accumulation of mononuclear cells in the dermis, with infiltration of eosinophils and lymphocytes in the superficial dermal layer. The histology of the blister on the thigh indicated the formation of an old subepidermal blister, with slurry and eosinophils present within the blister, and infiltration of eosinophils, lymphocytes, as well as histiocytoid cells in the superficial dermal layer. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for CD1a, S100, and CD68, and negative for CD207. Histopathological examination of blisters and bullae on the lower limbs revealed a subepidermal blister with infiltration of a large number of eosinophils within the blister and the dermis beneath it. Direct immunofluorescence showed that immunoglobulin Gs (IgGs) were linearly deposited in the basal membrane zone. Conclusion The coexistence of oesophageal carcinoma, indeterminate cell histiocytosis, and bullous pemphigoid in a single patient represents a rare case that warrants consideration of possible underlying mechanisms.
Pelvic rotation correction combined with Schroth exercises for pelvic and spinal deformities in mild adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Zhang Yafei , Chai Tingting , Weng Hao , Liu Yang 
Published: July 2024

Introduction
Individualized treatment of spinal deformity is needed for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), and the integration of pelvic rotation correction based on proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) into regular physiotherapy may be a promising approach. However, few high-quality studies have investigated its effects. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pelvic rotation correction combined with Schroth exercises in the treatment of mild AIS.

Methods
This was a randomized controlled trial. Forty-two AIS patients were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Both groups underwent 20 therapeutic sessions over 24 weeks. All patients (n = 42) performed Schroth exercises at each session. In addition, the experimental group (n = 21) also participated in a pelvic rotation correction program based on PNF at each session. The primary outcome was the concave/convex ratio of hipbone widths, and the secondary outcomes included the Cobb angle, trunk rotation angle, self-perception, apical vertebral translation, and apical vertebral rotation. Patients were evaluated before and after 24 weeks of intervention.

Results
There was a significant between-group difference in the change from baseline between the experimental and control groups for the following parameters: concave/convex ratio 2.89% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.58 to 4.20, P<0.001), trunk rotation angle −1.26° (95% CI, −2.20 to −0.32; P = 0.01), and apical vertebral rotation improved by at least one class from baseline in 3 patients (14.3%) in the control group and 9 patients (42.9%) in the experimental group (P = 0.04). While Cobb angle −1.60° (95% CI, −7.75 to 0.54; P = 0.14), self-image 0.149 (95% CI, 0.001 to 0.297; P = 0.049), apical vertebral translation −0.58 mm (95% CI, −3.83 to 2.67; P = 0.72), and pelvic obliquity 0.10° (95% CI, −0.21 to 0.41; P = 0.52) did not differ significantly.

Conclusions
Pelvic rotation correction combined with Schroth exercises more effectively improved pelvic axial rotation and other spinal deformities, including trunk rotation and apical vertebral rotation, than Schroth exercises alone in the treatment of mild AIS.

Authors: Jane Ling Miaw Yn , Ahmad Norfazilah , Noor Aizuddin Azimatun , Ja’afar Mohd Hasni 
Published: July 2024

Background
Risk perception plays important role in motivating preventive health behaviours. The objective of this systematic review was to explore the level of diabetes risk perception among individuals with and without apparent risk for diabetes, and to consider the effect of environmental factors on the level of diabetes risk perception.

Methods
This systematic review was reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The literature search was carried out through PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Original articles written in English and published between 2013 and 2023 were considered. Study quality was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Narrative synthesis was undertaken due to methodological heterogeneity in the included studies.

Results
A total of 13 cross-sectional studies, two randomized controlled trials, two cohort studies, two mixed methods studies and one quasi-experiment with a control group were included. An overall low level of diabetes risk perception was reported particularly in those without apparent risk for diabetes. The 20 included studies reported widely varied measures for calculating diabetes risk perception. The influence of environmental factors on the risk perception of diabetes was highlighted.

Limitations
The use of study-specific and non-validated measures in the included studies weakens the authors’ ability to compare across studies. The role of language and publication bias within this systematic review should be acknowledged as we included only English-language studies published in peer-reviewed journals. Another limitation is the exclusion of dimensions of risk perception such as optimistic bias as search terms.

Conclusion
The overall low risk perception of diabetes calls for urgent need of public health interventions to increase the risk perception of diabetes. In the future, researchers should ensure the validity and reliability of the measures being used. The influence of environmental factors on the diabetes risk perception indicates that diabetes preventive interventions targeting environmental factors may be effective in increasing the risk perception of diabetes.
Poetic Politics: Renewing a Black Jeremiad on the Inaugural Stage
Authors: Johnson Rachel , Kornfield Sarah 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman stunned the United States with her captivating performance of “The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country” during the 2021 inaugural ceremony for President Biden and Vice President Harris. Analyzing this political poem, we contribute to the rhetorical scholarship of inaugural ceremonies and demonstrate how Gorman's performance renews a tradition of Black jeremiads. Specifically, we argue that Gorman's performance creates a “double play” on white expectations, thereby crafting a rival version of democratic unity as she poetically envisions a “we the people” that does not center on the U.S. system of white supremacy and is not sponsored by white aesthetic and rhetorical traditions. Ultimately, we demonstrate how Gorman's Black poetic jeremiad calls Americans into a democracy that rejects white supremacist assumptions of the good life.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Second harmonic generation is a non-linear optical phenomenon in which coherent radiation with frequency ω interacts with a non-centrosymmetric material and produces coherent radiation at frequency 2ω. Owing to the exciting physical phenomena that take place during the non-linear optical excitation at the nanoscale, there is currently extensive research in the non-linear optical responses of nanomaterials, particularly in low-dimensional materials. Here, we review recent advancements in the polarization-resolved second harmonic generation propertied from atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals and present a unified theoretical framework to account for their nonlinear optical response. Two major classes of 2D materials are particularly investigated, namely metal chalcogenides and perovskites. The first attempts to tune and control the second harmonic generation properties of such materials via the application of specific nanophotonic schemes are additionally demonstrated and discussed. Besides presenting recent advances in the field, this work also delineates existing limitations and highlights emerging possibilities and future prospects in this field.

Published: July 2024

En Costa Rica existen grandes desafíos en materia de tratamiento de aguas residuales. Este trabajo evaluó la gestión de aguas residuales ordinarias en Costa Rica, dando énfasis al perfil tecnológico, al uso de sistemas anaerobios y a la recuperación de los subproductos generados. Se consideró un abordaje mixto, combinando información secundaria de bases de datos, consultas a expertos y talleres participativos. Se logró evidenciar que la mayoría de los sistemas que existen trabaja con lodos activados y con vertido directo a cuerpo receptor. Además, se evidenciaron brechas importantes para la implementación de los sistemas anaerobios para el tratamiento de aguas residuales: desde el punto de vista técnico, se identificó la falta de capacitación y de confianza en diseñarlos y operarlos, aunado a la relevancia de controlar el tratamiento de contaminantes emergentes; desde el punto de vista económico, se apunta la falta de sostenibilidad financiera de los proyectos y poca capacidad de pago de los usuarios, falta de incentivos o de sistemas tarifarios escalonados; dentro de las brechas institucionales la principal es la necesidad de tener una rectoría más clara del sector y evitar la duplicidad de funciones. Se demostró que lo anterior requiere ir ligado de una normativa robusta y clara, que permita la innovación en los sistemas a implementar. Finalmente, se pudo detectar que, para que el principio de economía circular sea una realidad, se requiere trabajar en un cambio cultural y en romper el paradigma de que las aguas residuales solo sirven para desecharlas.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a cause of intussusception: a case report
Authors: Redkar Anuja R. , Karande Ketan N. , Chohatkar Harshal A. , Sorate Yamini S. 
Published: July 2024

Intussusception of the bowel is defined as the telescoping of a proximal segment of the gastrointestinal tract within the lumen of the adjacent segment. This condition is frequent in children and presents with the classic triad of cramping abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea and a palpable tender mass. Secondary intussusception is caused by organic lesions, such as Meckel’s diverticulum, benign and malignant lesions, metastatic neoplasms or sometimes iatrogenically. Surgery is the definitive treatment of secondary intussusception. Formal bowel resection with oncological principles is followed for every case where a malignancy is suspected. A ten-year-old female presented to the casualty with severe pain in abdomen associated with 1 episode of blood in stools diagnosed with intussusception. She was taken for emergency laparotomy, and no lead point was identified. She presented with recurrent intussusception and was taken for re-exploration, when a definitive approach was opted for, and she underwent a resection of the obstructed bowel at the ileo-caecal junction and an ileo-ascending anastomosis. On histopathology, the ileo-caecal junction showed a proliferative, circumferential mass which was confirmed to be a diffuse large B cell lymphoma. It is uncommon for pediatric intussusception to result from a neoplasm. It takes imaging modalities to make the diagnosis. Surgical intervention is required as soon as a suspicion is raised in order to avoid consequences such gut necrosis and ischemia.
Knowledge of Politics: Conceptual Synthesis of Folk Psychology, Political Science and Political Philosophy (About the Idea of ​​Political Conceptology by V.P. Makarenko)
Authors: Chukin S.G. 
Published: July 2024

The article examines the idea of ​​political conceptology proposed by V.P. Makarenko and implemented by him in relation to current political problems. The author considers it the answer to the question of what knowledge about politics can be, bridging the gap between normative and descriptive knowledge of political phenomena. As a form of political knowledge, conceptology is a synthesis of ordinary views on politics, political philosophy and political science. It significantly weakens restrictions on language and style, allows for value judgments, a mixture of scientific and journalistic approaches, and the use of artistic images, which allows for maximum individualization of the objects under consideration. Content flexibility of concepts (as V.P. Makarenko understands and uses them) makes them a valuable methodological tool in social cognition.
