Published: June 2024

BackgroundSaccular aneurysms of the proximal A1 segment (SAPA1) are rare, but their treatment is challenging and scarcely described in the literature. We report the immediate and long term outcomes of their endovascular management.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed all consecutive SAPA1cases treated endovascularly at our center between 2003 and 2023. Per procedural complications and radioclinical outcomes were prospectively recorded.ResultsAmong 2468 patients followed up for aneurysms, 12 (0.49%) had an SAPA1(average age 53.8±9.6 years, 9 women). The SAPA1averaged 3.3 mm, all posteriorly oriented. Ten were ruptured (83.3%). Initial treatments included conventional coiling or balloon assisted coiling (CC/BAC) for nine aneurysms, and proximal A1 segment focal occlusion (PA1FO) for three. Initial occlusion was deemed satisfactory in all instances: total occlusion in eight cases (67%) and subtotal occlusion in four cases (33%). Four aneurysmal perforations occurred (33%), all during CC/BAC on ruptured aneurysms. Over a 10.2 year average follow-up, six recanalizations (50%) were noted, all after initial CC/BAC: three were early (≤14 days), with one causing fatal rebleeding. No recanalizations after PA1FO was observed (five in total, two as a complement after CC/BAC). Favorable clinical outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score of 0–2) were seen in 91% of cases (11/12) at the last follow-up.ConclusionsSelective coiling of the aneurysmal sac is technically difficult due to their small size and the complex microcatheterization pathway. This method presents a significant risk of aneurysmal perforation, especially in ruptured cases, and a high rate of recanalization. PA1FO, when collateralization permits, appears to be a reliable therapeutic alternative offering favorable long term outcomes.
Selective cooling and squeezing in a lossy optomechanical closed loop embodying an exceptional surface
Authors: Sütlüoğlu Ege Beyza , Bulutay Ceyhun 
Published: June 2024

AbstractA closed-loop, lossy optomechanical system consisting of one optical and two degenerate mechanical resonators is computationally investigated. This system constitutes an elementary synthetic plaquette derived from the loop phase of the intercoupling coefficients. In examining a specific quantum attribute, we delve into the control of quadrature variances within the resonator selected through the plaquette phase. An amplitude modulation is additionally applied to the cavity-pumping laser to incorporate mechanical squeezing. Our numerical analysis relies on the integration-free computation of steady-state covariances for cooling and the Floquet technique for squeezing. We provide physical insights into how non-Hermiticity plays a crucial role in enhancing cooling and squeezing in proximity to exceptional points. This enhancement is associated with the behavior of complex eigenvalue loci as a function of the intermechanical coupling rate. Additionally, we demonstrate that the parameter space embodies an exceptional surface, ensuring the robustness of exceptional point singularities under experimental parameter variations. However, the pump laser detuning breaks away from the exceptional surface unless it resides on the red-sideband by an amount sufficiently close to the mechanical resonance frequency. Finally, we show that this disparate parametric character entitles frequency-dependent cooling and squeezing, which is of technological importance.

Published: June 2024

This study aimed to determine the level and extent of financial literacy of personnel in the Department of Education, District of Subic, Zambales. This study is limited to one hundred fifty-eight (158) personnel in the selected schools in the district of Subic. In this study, descriptive research design was adopted. The researcher utilized a self-made survey questionnaire in gathering the data vital to this study. The data gathered from the self-made survey questionnaire were tallied, tabulated, and interpreted accordingly to the following statistical tools: Frequency and Percentage Count, Weighted Mean, Likert Scale and Analysis of Variance.
From the given findings, the following conclusions were drawn: First, majority of the respondents were female, age 30-39 years old, bachelor’s degree holder, 0-5 years in service, currently in the teaching position and have no training on financial literacy. Second, the respondents were found to have an awareness of their personal financial literacy in terms of financial management, budgeting, investing and savings. Third, it is also found out that the respondents were aware of their personal extend of the financial literacy skills in terms of trainings and seminars, adherence to policy and their behavior towards financial literacy. Fourth, it was also found out that there was a significant difference in the level of financial literacy of the respondents when grouped according to profile variables highest educational attainment and position. Fifth, there is a significant difference on the extent of financial literacy when grouped according to profile variable sex and highest educational attainment. The length of service has a significant difference only on the adherence to policy.
Lastly, based on the results of the study, the researcher may recommend a training program to enhance the financial literacy of the respondents.
In the light of the findings of the study, the following recommendations were made: 1.) The DepEd Subic District may implement awareness on what is important in financial literacy to their personnel; 2.) the respondents may strengthen their budgeting and investing skills through attending related training offered by the division of Zambales; 3.) the respondents may improve their financial literacy extent through attending trainings and seminars and develop their financial literacy behavior; 4.) DepEd Division of Zambales administrators may ensure the inclusions of financial management, budgeting, investing and savings on the training to improve the level of financial literacy of personnel; 5.) the teaching and non-teaching personnel financial literacy and financial behavior may be improved through attending various trainings and seminars; 6.) the researcher may recommend or propose a training program to enhance the financial literacy of the DepEd personnel; 7.) a replication of this study in other districts within the division of Zambales is suggested for further research.

he study assessed the risk management implementation and the degree of likelihood and severity of risks affecting the Department of Tourism-Accredited hotels in Region VIII. In addition, it took into account if there is a significant difference between the perspectives of middle management and rank-and-file employees and the significant relationship of risk management implementation and likelihood and severity of risks and its facilitating and impeding factors. To attain these, the study utilized both quantitative framework through survey and a qualitative method through interview. Sixteen hotels participated the study. Overall, establishments demonstrated an implemented category yet presence of variability suggests the need for continuous improvement in implementation. As to likelihood and severity of risks it is perceived as “unlikely to happen” yet “very severe” suggesting to roll-out proactive measures. It showed significant difference in viewpoints where the middle management have a better grasps of risk management than the rank-and-file employees. While for the test of significant relationship it has a clear negative correlation while no significant correlation was found between risk management and severity of risks. It revealed themes reactive approach rather than proactive risk management where these hotels need to embody a culture of proactive culture, employee education and training, budget allocation and get rid of being resistance to change and lack of cooperation to enhanced strategies to risk management. Based on the findings, a comprehensive risk management plan anchored to ISO 31000-2018 will be helpful to lessen the vulnerability to various risks to safeguard its stakeholders especially it guests.

The study aims to determine the response of sugarcane setts to the different level of concentrations bio-stimulant solutions (BSS) that can accelerate the rooting and tillering. The study was conducted at UNO-R School of Agriculture, Philippines from October 15, 2023 -January 15, 2024. Phil 99-1793 variety is used. It was laid out in Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments, replicated 4 times. The treatments were; no BSS (control), 200ml, 300ml, and 400ml BSS. Cane setts were prepared a day before planting. Leaf sheaths were remove and viable eye buds was selected. Setts were soaked in water for 24 hours and air-dried for 30 minutes before planting. The BSS were diluted in water before application. It was applied at plant base 15, 45, and 75 days after planting (DAP). Statistical analysis revealed highly significant on root weight and length with 110grams and 100.33cm for 400ml BSS, respectively. Great significant result also was observe for the tiller height at 30DAP and 60DAP with 26.10cm and 43.08cm respectively for 400ml BSS treatment. On tiller weight at 90DAP, number of tillers at 30DAP and number nodes at 90DAP statistics indicates a significant result with 752grams, 1.75tillers and 8.10nodes for 400ml BSS treatment. Application of 400ml BSS shorten the germination to only 5.30days while control treatment germinated at 8.03days. Application of 400ml BSS also increases the biomass with 4,310,00kg/hectare higher than the control with 2,242.50 kg/hectare. The study recommends the application of 400ml of BSS to accelerate the rooting and tillering of sugarcane setts up to 90DAP.

Abstract
Threat learning processes are thought to be foundational to anxiety and fear-related disorders. However, the study of these processes in the human brain has largely focused on specific brain regions, owing partly to the ease of translating between these regions in human and nonhuman animals. Moving beyond analyzing focal regions of interest to whole-brain dynamics and connectivity during threat learning is essential for understanding the neuropathology of fear-related disorders in humans. In this study, 223 participants completed a 2-day Pavlovian threat conditioning paradigm while undergoing fMRI. Participants completed threat acquisition and extinction. Extinction recall was assessed 48 hours later. Using a data-driven group independent component analysis (ICA), we examined large-scale functional connectivity networks during each phase of threat learning. Connectivity networks were tested to see how they responded to conditioned stimuli during early and late phases of threat acquisition and extinction as well as during early trials of extinction recall. A network overlapping with the default mode network involving hippocampus, ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), and posterior cingulate was implicated in threat acquisition and extinction. Another network overlapping with the salience network involving dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), mPFC, and inferior frontal gyrus was implicated both in threat acquisition and in extinction recall. Other networks overlapping with parts of the salience, somatomotor, visual, and frontoparietal networks were involved in the acquisition or in the extinction of learned threat responses. These findings help support the functional cooperation of specific brain regions during threat learning in a model-free fashion while introducing new findings of spatially independent functional connectivity networks during threat and safety learning. Rather than being a single process in a core network of regions, threat learning involves multiple brain networks operating in parallel performing different functions at different timescales. Understanding the nature and interplay of these dynamics will be critical for comprehensive understanding of the multiple processes that may be at play in the neuropathology of anxiety and fear-related disorders.
The Paradox of Abolition: Sugar Production and Slave Demography in Danish St. Croix, 1792–1804
Authors: Roberts Justin , Morgan Philip D. , Christensen Rasmus 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In 1792, the Danish government announced the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade and granted St. Croix planters a grace period to import slaves before the cessation. Despite hopes for improved conditions for the enslaved after the abolition, surging sugar prices prompted planters to increase imports of enslaved Africans. Census data, slave trade records, and land tax registers illustrate how St. Croix planters, in the face of impending abolition, exacerbated mortality rates among the enslaved and hindered efforts to create a naturally reproducing enslaved population. The short-term acceleration of slave importation after the Danish decision to end the slave trade increased the total mortality rates of Africans throughout the Atlantic region.
Money for Everyone
Authors: McCants Anne E. C. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Money, a ubiquitous yet enigmatic concept, defies clear definition despite its long historical use. Naismith’s Making Money in the Early Middle Ages reveals the complexity of early medieval monetary systems, identifying three important developments in their history (the decline of Roman imperial money, the shift from gold currency in favor of silver, and the gradual rise in coin usage over the long Middle Ages). In exploring money’s symbolic and practical characteristics, the book illustrates money’s impact on social relations and hierarchies, opening the door for the human questions that carry implications for justice. By integrating distinct methodologies, the author presents a nuanced understanding of money’s significance in shaping medieval societies, offering an exemplary model for interdisciplinary scholarship.
Fusion Philosophy and Epistemic Injustice
Authors: Butnor Ashby 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
I use the concept of epistemic injustice to think through the practice and methodology of comparative, or “fusion,” philosophy. I make two related claims: 1) the philosophical ethnocentrism displayed by academic departments in the U.S. is a case of epistemic injustice, primarily willful ignorance, that ought to be rectified; 2) the corrective to this problem, namely, fusion philosophy, is itself epistemically problematic in its tendency toward ontological expansiveness, that is, an unjustified claim to all traditions as one’s own. In the end, I hope to show how a robust practice of self-reflexivity can counter this potentially colonizing tendency of fusion philosophizing.
A Clarification and Defense of Quine’s Naturalism
Authors: Chen Bo 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Naturalism is the dominant characteristic of W. V. Quine’s philosophy. The current study presents a more comprehensive and sympathetic clarification of Quine’s naturalized epistemology (NE hereafter), and vindicates its main positions by critically responding to the three objections to Quine’s NE: it is the replacement of traditional epistemology (TE hereafter), it is viciously circular, and it is devoid of normative dimension, and to Williamson’s three charges to naturalism (mainly Quine’s brand), finally concludes that the three objections and Williamson’s three charges to Quine’s NE are mainly perhaps caused by misreading or misinterpretation, so all of them failed, and that there are still illuminating, reasonable, and valuable insights in Quine’s NE, which are worthy of further development.
“Perpetuum studium et exercitationem mortificandae carnis”
Authors: Ha Sam Neulsaem 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Many scholars have argued and assumed that Protestantism broke away from virtue ethics. However, recent scholarship has revealed that it is not necessarily the case. This article’s aim is to go a step further than that. It will explore the subject even more fully by digging deeper into a specific element of virtue ethics in Calvin, namely, his thought on habit formation. I argue that Calvin’s distinctive habit formation plays a significant role in his ethics. In my analysis, although Calvin appreciates the limit of habit’s power, he emphasizes the significance of divinely initiated and guided habit formation.
On Hosting, Pilgrimage and “Indirect Mission”
Authors: Coleman Simon 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This paper brings together perspectives on hosting and pilgrimage to show how both can contribute to forms of “indirect mission”: a type of social action where overt intervention for missionary purposes is kept to a minimum, but where an implicit missionary intent is retained. While bringing in comparative material on cathedrals, my ethnographic focus is on the English pilgrimage site of Walsingham, a location of both Anglican and Roman Catholic shrines. I show how shrines work to become sites of reception for publics ranging from pious pilgrims to members of the general population as they seek recognition within both Catholic and secular liberal contexts.
Diuqin lechiguanae gen. et sp. nov., a new unenlagiine (Theropoda: Paraves) from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Neuquén Group, Upper Cretaceous) of Neuquén Province, Patagonia, Argentina

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Background
Unenlagiine paravians are among the most relevant Gondwanan theropod dinosaur clades for understanding the origin of birds, yet their fossil record remains incomplete, with most taxa being represented by fragmentary material and/or separated by lengthy temporal gaps, frustrating attempts to characterize unenlagiine evolution.

Results and conclusions
Here we describe Diuqin lechiguanae gen. et sp. nov., a new unenlagiine taxon from the Upper Cretaceous (Santonian) Bajo de la Carpa Formation of the Neuquén Basin of Neuquén Province in northern Patagonia, Argentina that fills a substantial stratigraphic gap in the fossil record of these theropods. Although known only from a very incomplete postcranial skeleton, the preserved bones of Diuqin differ from corresponding elements in other unenlagiines, justifying the erection of the new taxon. Moreover, in several morphological aspects, the humerus of Diuqin appears intermediate between those of geologically older unenlagiines from the Neuquén Basin (e.g., Unenlagia spp. from the Turonian–Coniacian Portezuelo Formation) and that of the stratigraphically younger, larger-bodied Austroraptor cabazai from the Campanian–Maastrichtian Allen Formation. Consequently, the morphology of the new taxon appears to indicate a transitional stage in unenlagiine evolution. Phylogenetic analysis recovers Diuqin as a paravian with multiple plausible systematic positions, but the strongest affinity is with Unenlagiinae. The humerus of the new form exhibits subcircular punctures near its distal end that are interpreted as feeding traces most likely left by a conical-toothed crocodyliform, mammal, or theropod, the latter potentially corresponding to a megaraptorid or another unenlagiine individual. Thus, in addition to filling important morphological and temporal gaps in unenlagiine evolutionary history, the new taxon also offers information relating to the paleoecology of these theropods.

Abstract
Background
Stent restenosis is a relatively common phenomenon among patients with coronary heart disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It seems that a set of clinical, laboratory, and even genetic factors make people susceptible to such a phenomenon and in fact, this is multi-factorial. We aimed to first determine the underlying clinical and laboratory risk factors for the occurrence of stent re-stenosis after PCI based on a systematic review study, and after that, through a bioinformatics study, to evaluate the related genes and microRNAs with the occurrence of stent re-stenosis.

Main text
In the first step, the manuscript databases including Medline, Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Cochrane were deeply searched by the two blinded investigators for all eligible studies based on the considered keywords to introduce clinical and laboratory determinants of stent re-stenosis. In the bioinformatic phase, and following a review of the literature to identify genes and microRNAs involved in restenosis, the interaction of each gene with other genes associated with stent re-stenosis was determined by GeneMANIA network analysis and Cytoscape software. Overall, 67 articles (including 40,789 patients) on clinical and biochemical predictors for stent restenosis and 25 articles on genetic determinants of this event were eligible for the final analysis. The predictors for this event were categorized into four subgroups patient-based parameters including traditional cardiovascular risk profiles, stent-based parameters including type and diametric characteristics of the stents used, coronary lesion-based parameters including several two target lesions and coronary involvement severity and laboratory-based parameters particularly related to activation of inflammatory processes. In the bioinformatic phase, we uncovered 42 genes that have been described to be involved in such a phenomenon considering a special position for genes encoding inflammatory cytokines. Also, 12 microRNAs have been pointed to be involved in targeting genes involved in stent re-stenosis.

Conclusions
The incidence of stent re-stenosis will be the result of a complex interaction of clinical risk factors, laboratory factors mostly related to the activation of inflammatory processes, and a complex network of gene-to-gene interactions.
