Abstract
Introduction Adverse reactions (ARs) occur during infusion of thawed hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) either due to infusion or its contents. There is sparse literature on it in the world and none in India. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed ARs occurring during and within 1 hour of infusion of thawed HPCs.
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of adverse reactions associated with the infusion of cryopreserved hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) and to categorize the types of adverse reactions observed in HPC transplant recipients during its infusion.
Materials and Methods This study was done in a tertiary-care center, between 2019 and 2022. Data collected included age, gender, diagnosis, specifications of contents of infusion product (volume of product, volume of dimethyl sulfoxide per kg body weight, total nucleated cell count per microliter, and viability of CD 34+ cells), pretreatment given, and ARs, if any from the procedure records and the hospital information system.
Results The present study included 55 transplant patients, and the commonest diagnosis was Hodgkin lymphoma. All were prophylactically hydrated and premedicated as per institutional protocol. AR was seen in 56.36% (n = 31); the commonest type of ARs was nausea (n = 26) followed by vomiting (n = 13), abdominal pain (n = 4), shivering (n = 3), transient tachycardia (n = 2), transient hypotension (n = 2), and hematuria (n = 1). All ARs were managed clinically by giving symptomatic treatment. No patients required intensive care, and there were no deaths or aborted procedures. Characteristics of infusion products had no significant correlation to ARs.
Conclusions To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first such study from India. We report an overall incidence of ARs of 56.36%, which is similar to the previously published data on ARs during thawed HPC infusions. AR is a common occurrence and can be managed medically and symptomatically.

Objective In Australia, there is little evidence exploring why higher degrees by research (HDRs) are undertaken by surgeons. This study aims to describe the attitudes and experiences of surgical trainees and surgeons towards HDRs. Methods A 23-question cross-sectional survey of surgical trainees and consultant surgeons from three Australian public hospitals was undertaken between August and December 2022. Data were analysed according to stage of career and HDR status and assessed using chi-squared test, with P < 0.05 considered significant. Results Out of 270 participants, 72 (27%) completed the survey including 30 (42%) trainees and 42 (58%) consultants. Overall, 43 (60%) participants had completed or were undertaking a HDR, which was similar between trainees (n = 18) and consultants (N = 25; P = 0.968). A HDR was associated with more publications (P < 0.5). Respondents with a HDR were more likely to have a salaried academic position (50%) than those without (15%). There was no significant difference in academic appointments based on HDR attainment (P = 0.192). For surgical trainees, 93% rated the strengthening of resumes as the primary driver, compared with only 60% of consultants. For consultants, academic career aspirations and research interests were ranked the highest at 64% equally. Lack of time and competing nature of surgical training were equally ranked among all as the key barriers to completing a HDR. Conclusions These results provide insight into the academic pursuits of surgeons with an understanding of the role HDRs play, including the different drivers for Masters and Doctorates. This is important for supporting future surgeons who seek to pursue research.
An adaptive continuous scanning laser Doppler vibrometry technique for measuring vibrational mode shapes of structures with holes
Authors: Zhang Lei , Zang Chaoping , Jing Tong 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Continuous scanning laser Doppler vibrometry (CSLDV) enables fast and full-field vibration measurement in an intact area of a structure. This paper further proposes a novel adaptive CSLDV method that can obtain the operational deflection shapes (ODS) and mode shape of structures with holes. Firstly, an adaptive path planning method is applied to the surface of the tested structure, which can automatically adapt to the size and position of round and square holes, as well as the resolution requirements for the measurement. Secondly, based on the symmetry and other characteristics of the planned path, the time domain signal is processed by delay optimization and demodulation to obtain the ODS of each vibration mode. Finally, a modal test is conducted on a flat structure with a square and circular holes as an example. A validation experiment is also performed using SLDV. The results show that the mode shapes obtained from both methods are consistent and the modal assurance criterion between them are all above 0.96. The method can realize CSLDV of flat plate structures with arbitrary square and round holes, and has the advantages of high efficiency and dense measurement points, which enhances its engineering applicability.

Abstract
The ageing processes in the systems of elongated particles (discorectangles) adsorbed on a plane was studied numerically. An off-lattice model with continuous positional and orientational degrees of freedom was tested. The initial jammed state was produced using the random sequential adsorption (RSA) model. The transition from the jammed to equilibrium states were performed via translational and rotational Brownian motions. An aspect ratio of the particles (length-to-width ratio) was varied within the range

, the relaxation transition into the states with ordered domains was observed. Particularly, for ɛ = 10 this transition was related with significant finite size scaling effects. For particles with ɛ = 12 formation of the large scale quasi-nematic domains and unlimited domain growth was observed. The impact of the relaxation on the domain structure, porosity, percolation connectivity and tracer particle diffusion in such barrier systems was also discussed.
Effect of deposition pressure on friction and wear properties of BWS2 composite coatings

Published: July 2024

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of deposition pressure on the microstructure and tribological properties of B/WS2 composite coatings deposited via unbalanced magnetron sputtering. Deposition pressures of 0.6 Pa, 0.8 Pa, 1.0 Pa, 1.2 Pa, and 1.4 Pa were used during the deposition process. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the B/WS2 composite coatings were characterized, and friction and wear experiments were conducted. The study found that the microhardness of the B/WS2 composite coatings decreased as the deposition pressure increased. The highest hardness of the coating, reaching 8.1GPa, was observed at a deposition pressure of 0.6 Pa. This was due to the formation of Tungsten tetraborate (WB4) during the deposition process, which had a high hardness and improved the mechanical properties of the coating. The wear life of the B/WS2 composite coatings was at its best, reaching 9.9 × 104 cycles, and the friction coefficient was at its lowest when the deposition pressure was 1.2 Pa. Selecting an appropriate deposition pressure can improve the tribological properties of B/WS2 composite coatings. Doping Boron can improve the hardness and wear resistance of the composite coatings. Abrasive wear and spalling are the two main wear forms of B/WS2 composite coatings.
Improvement of decadal predictions of monthly extreme Mei-yu rainfall via a causality guided approach

Abstract
While the improved performance of climate prediction systems has allowed better predictions of the East Asian Summer Monsoon rainfall to be made, the ability to predict extreme Mei-yu rainfall (MYR) remains a challenge. Given that large scale climate modes (LSCMs) tend to be better predicted by climate prediction systems than local extremes, one useful approach is to employ causality-guided statistical models (CGSMs), which link known LSCMs to improve MYR prediction. However, previous work suggests that CGSMs trained with data from 1979–2018 might struggle to model MYR in the pre-1978 period. One hypothesis is that this is due to potential changes in causal processes, which modulate MYR in different phases of the multidecadal variability, such as the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO). In this study, we explore this hypothesis by constructing CGSMs for different PDO phases, which reflect the different phases of specific causal process, and examine the difference in quality as well as with respect to difference drivers and thus causal links between CGSMs of different PDO phases as well as the non-PDO phase specific CGSMs. Our results show that the set of predictors of CGSMs is PDO phase specific. Furthermore, the performance of PDO phase specific CGSMs are better than the non-PDO phase specific CGSMs. To demonstrate the added value of CGSMs, the PDO phase specific versions are applied to the latest UK Met Office decadal prediction system, DePreSys4, and it is shown that the root-mean squared errors of MYR prediction based on PDO phase specific CGSMs is consistently smaller than the MYR predicted based on the direct DePreSys4 extreme rainfall simulations. We conclude that the use of a causality approach improves the prediction of extreme precipitation based solely on known LSCMs because of the change in the main drivers of extreme rainfall during different PDO-phases.
The Right to Legal Personhood of Marginalised Groups
Authors: Arstein-Kerslake Anna 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Legal personhood is the state’s recognition of the individual as a legal entity whose decisions and actions are respected by the law. It is the predicate to power and privilege because it is required for political participation, contracting, consenting to marriage and sex, and other elements of our world. Marginalised groups are denied legal personhood in various ways that are creating and reinforcing social inequalities. For example, women in Saudi Arabia continue to be placed under the legal guardianship of male relatives—often leaving them unable to contract, marry, and take other legal actions independently. Moreover, racial minorities around the world lose part of their legal personhood via incarceration, which they experience at vastly higher rates than others. Undocumented migrants in the United States and elsewhere are similarly experiencing legal personhood denials because they are not recognised by the state and therefore cannot take many legal actions essential for daily living (e.g. engaging in employment contracts). The right to legal personhood has been enshrined in human rights law since its inception with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. However, it has been largely overlooked. This book explores the marginalisation occurring as a result of barriers to the right to legal personhood and how this can be rectified—how the right to legal personhood can be realised for marginalised groups. It presents a legal argument for the protection of the right and a normative analysis of the importance of the right in maintaining equality in socio-legal systems.
Receiving Death
Authors: Foster Ann-Marie 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This chapter deals with the period of time between a loved one dying and their funeral, concentrating on the various ways that families received news of a death, identified bodies, and brought them home. These practices differed: while paperwork and word-of-mouth communication were used for both war and disasters, war tended towards the former, and disasters the latter. Parallel timelines of immediate death practices emerged, from families who were about the immediately act to those who suffered a protracted wait. In this confusion, national government and local authorities competed for familial authority. The organized chaos of deaths in war and disasters reconfigured the way the family and the state interacted with one another, with the state taking over the traditional family role of registering a body, foreshadowing the renegotiated roles both took on when handling the body of the deceased.
Governing Death
Authors: Foster Ann-Marie 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The regulation of bodies by people outside of the family was an experience shared by the families of the war and disaster dead. Conventionally, the family of the deceased controlled the body of their loved one—the state only intervened if there was nobody to claim the corpse. After war and disaster officials controlling bodies and burials was the norm. While after local disasters families were often in at least minimal contact with those who buried the dead, in wartime contact with officials was solely through paperwork. The Imperial War Graves Commission, in charge of interring the dead after the First World War, almost exclusively interacted with the bereaved through paper. After disaster, local authorities often organised burials. There was reverence and comfort in these burials, but they constituted a jarring experience for families, and something was lost through their inability to decide how the dead were interred.
‘This Is the Sign of the Lord’
Authors: Lewis Hannah 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In this chapter I will explore how the Bible, and biblical interpretation can be experienced as oppressive by Deaf and disabled people, both in the hearing/ able bodied centred interpretation (where Deaf/disabled people are only present as objects of either healing or derision) and form (as a written text). I will then look at how Deaf and disabled people have addressed these challenges over the years, and in particular the way in which Deaf/disabled interpretations have argued that God calls people to follow, and minister as they are rather than in spite of their disabilities. This argument will demonstrate how Deaf and disabled people have interpreted the Bible to encounter God as one who signs in their own language and desires their liberation.
Contextual Bible Reading in Practice
Authors: Davids Hanzline R 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Intersex, and Queer (LGBTIQ+) people’s sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics are frequently contested on religious, social, and cultural grounds as ‘un-African’, and a remnant from Western colonization. On the African continent, the Bible is still used to condemn and instigate violence and violations against LGBTIQ+ people. Challenging these perspectives, Inclusive and Affirming Ministries, a non-governmental organization, catalyses Christian faith communities towards the positive recognition of LGBTIQ+ people on the African continent. This chapter details the conceptual journey of this NGO’s Reading Together Process, a method that brings together Theory of Action with Contextual Bible Studies and Intercultural Bible Theory. This chapter reflects from an NGO perspective on the way such an approach can draw on academic scholarship and foster practice that reads and interprets biblical texts with LGBTIQ+ as equal producers of meaning.
Diversifying the Field
Authors: Smit Peter-Ben 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In this chapter, the question of the increasing diversity in the field of biblical interpretation is discussed. Arguing that the plurality of approaches is a result of, and hence reflects, the inclusion of perspectives from an increasing number of contexts, it is proposed that this challenges the field of biblical interpretation in a fruitful manner. In particular, it is suggested that as interpretation is always premised on alterity, the otherness of ‘other’ interpreters (and interpretations) ought to be welcomed as a hermeneutical opportunity and demands the development of a lived ethos of otherness. This is not only promising with regard to the interpretation of texts, but also with regard to the (self-)understanding of other interpreters and can contribute to forms of scholarship that further human flourishing.
The Afterlife of Medium-Specificity I
Authors: Costello Diarmuid 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Chapter 3 brings out Fried’s debts to Stanley Cavell’s reading of the later Wittgenstein, particularly his understanding of conventions as both a priori, yet also part of the natural history of the species, grounded in (evolving) ‘forms of life’. This permeates Fried’s early criticism, notably his critique of Minimalism, which turns on his differences with Greenberg over the nature of artistic conventions. Contra Greenberg, Fried holds that while media do have distinct essences, these do not endure transhistorically, but rather develop and change under the pressure of recent history. The chapter suggests these criticisms may rebound on Fried’s own critique of Minimalism, something the author brings out by considering the work of Gerhard Richter and Jeff Wall. On the Fried-Cavell conception of artistic media, Richter emerges as aspiring to make photographs by painting, and Wall as aspiring to make paintings with the means of photography. Once that can be true, there is no longer any clearly defined space between media that can be rejected as ‘theatre’, irrespective of whether Minimalism is indeed ‘theatrical’.
Language
Authors: Benatar David 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the ethics of language. Subsidiary topics include familiar ones, such as group slurs (and attempts to appropriate them for positive use), sexist language, insults, profanity, pronoun preferences, and changes over time in what counts as polite reference to various groups. In the process, the relevance of distinctions between ‘use’ and ‘mention’, and between different kinds of ‘use’, is presented. The chapter also discusses related issues in language ethics that are less commonly discussed. These include impertinences and speciesist language. Inconsistencies in common views about language ethics are noted. Towards the end of the chapter, an argument is presented for how we should respond to (perceived) breaches of language ethics.
Humour
Authors: Benatar David 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the ethics of jokes and other humour. The chapter begins by identifying the categories of humour that are thought to raise moral questions. Next, two distinctions between different moral criticisms of humour are drawn: First, there is a distinction between those criticisms that focus on the person purveying or appreciating the humour, and those criticisms that focus on the humour itself. Second, there is a distinction between contextual and non-contextual criticisms. These distinctions cut across one another. It is argued that non-contextual criticisms must fail, and that humour must be assessed contextually. Some instances of telling or laughing at humour are morally problematic, and others are not. Common mistakes in humour ethics are highlighted: (a) the benefits of humour are ignored, and only the harm or offence considered; (b) contextual considerations are oversimplified; and (c) offence is given too much weight. Finally, some practical guidance is provided.
Systematic reviews of the literature: an introduction to current methods
Authors: Brignardello-Petersen Romina , Santesso Nancy , Guyatt Gordon H 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Systematic reviews are a type of evidence synthesis in which authors develop explicit eligibility criteria, collect all the available studies that meet these criteria, and summarize results using reproducible methods that minimize biases and errors. Systematic reviews serve different purposes and use a different methodology than other types of evidence synthesis such as narrative reviews, scoping reviews, and overviews of reviews. Systematic reviews can address questions regarding effects of interventions or exposures, diagnostic properties of tests, and prevalence or prognosis of diseases. All rigorous systematic reviews have common processes that include (1) determining the question and eligibility criteria, including a priori specification of subgroup hypotheses, (2) searching for evidence and selecting studies, (3) abstracting data and assessing risk of bias of the included studies, (4) summarizing the data for each outcome of interest, whenever possible using meta-analyses, and (5) assessing the certainty of the evidence and drawing conclusions. There are several tools that can guide and facilitate the systematic review process, but methodological and content expertise are always necessary.
FAIRsoft—a practical implementation of FAIR principles for research software

Published: July 2024

Abstract

Motivation
Software plays a crucial and growing role in research. Unfortunately, the computational component in Life Sciences research is often challenging to reproduce and verify. It could be undocumented, opaque, contain unknown errors that affect the outcome, or be directly unavailable and impossible to use for others. These issues are detrimental to the overall quality of scientific research. One step to address this problem is the formulation of principles that research software in the domain should meet to ensure its quality and sustainability, resembling the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) data principles.

Results
We present here a comprehensive series of quantitative indicators based on a pragmatic interpretation of the FAIR Principles and their implementation on OpenEBench, ELIXIR’s open platform providing both support for scientific benchmarking and an active observatory of quality-related features for Life Sciences research software. The results serve to understand the current practices around research software quality-related features and provide objective indications for improving them.
