Context. Nuclear reactions drive stellar evolution and contribute to stellar and galactic chemical abundances. New determinations of the nuclear reaction rates in key fusion reactions of stellar evolution are now available, paving the way for improved stellar model predictions.
Aims. We explore the impact of new 12C + 12C reaction rates in massive star evolution, structure, and nucleosynthesis at carbon ignition and during the core carbon-burning phase. We analyse the consequences for stars of different masses including rotation-induced mixing.
Methods. We computed a grid of massive stars from 8 to 30 M⊙ at solar metallicity using the stellar evolution code GENEC, and including the new reaction rates. We explored the results using three different references for the rates, with or without rotation. We studied the effect in terms of evolution, structure, and the critical mass limit between intermediate and massive stars. We explored the consequences for heavy-element nucleosynthesis during the core carbon-burning phase by means of a one-zone nucleosynthesis code.
Results. We confirm the significant impact of using the recent nuclear reaction rates following the fusion suppression hypothesis at deep sub-barrier energies (hindrance hypothesis) as well as the mass-dependent effect of a resonance at 2.14 MeV with dominant feeding of the α exit channel of 12C + 12C fusion reaction. This impacts the characteristics of the core of stars from the C-ignition and during the entire core C-burning phase (temperature and density, lifetime, size, convective or radiative core). The change in nuclear reaction rates modifies the central nucleosynthesis of the stars during the core-carbon burning phase, resulting in an underproduction of s-process elements, especially when including the rotation-induced mixing that amplifies the effects.
Conclusions. The correct and accurate determination of the nuclear reaction rates, especially with the existence and location of resonances, impacts stellar evolution in many respects, affecting models’ predictions. The choice of the nuclear reaction rates reference for the 12C + 12C fusion reaction significantly changes the behaviour of the core during the carbon-burning phase, and consequently drives changes in the nucleosynthesis and end-of-life of stars. This choice needs, then, to be made carefully in order to interpret stellar evolution from the super asymptotic giant branch phase and its massive white dwarf remnants to the core-collapse supernovae of massive stars.

First-principles study of electronic and magnetic properties of Fe atoms on Cu2N/Cu(100)
Authors: Chen 陈 Jiale 佳乐 , Hu 胡 Jun 军 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
First-principles calculations were conducted to investigate the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of single Fe atoms and Fe dimers on Cu2N/Cu(100). Upon adsorption of an Fe atom onto Cu2N/Cu(100), robust Fe–N bonds form, resulting in the incorporation of both single Fe atoms and Fe dimers within the surface Cu2N layer. The partial occupancy of Fe-3d orbitals lead to large spin moments on the Fe atoms. Interestingly, both single Fe atoms and Fe dimers exhibit in-plane magnetic anisotropy, with the magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) of an Fe dimer exceeding twice that of a single Fe atom. This magnetic anisotropy can be attributed to the predominant contribution of the component along the x direction of the spin–orbital coupling Hamiltonian. Additionally, the formation of Fe–Cu dimers may further boost the magnetic anisotropy, as the energy levels of the Fe-3d orbitals are remarkably influenced by the presence of Cu atoms. Our study manifests the significance of uncovering the origin of magnetic anisotropy in engineering the magnetic properties of magnetic nanostructures.

Abstract
Silicon (Si) is a competitive anode material owing to its high theoretical capacity and low electrochemical potential. Recently, the prospect of Si anodes in solid-state batteries (SSBs) has been proposed due to less solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation and particle pulverization. However, major challenges arise for Si anodes in SSBs at elevated temperatures. In this work, the failure mechanisms of Si-Li6PS5Cl (LPSC) composite anodes above 80 °C are thoroughly investigated from the perspectives of interface stability and (electro)chemo-mechanical effect. The chemistry and growth kinetics of Li

Si|LPSC interphase are demonstrated by combining electrochemical, chemical and computational characterizations. Si and/or Si–P compound formed at Li

Si|LPSC interface prove to be detrimental to interface stability at high temperatures. On the other hand, excessive volume expansion and local stress caused by Si lithiation at high temperatures damage the mechanical structure of Si-LPSC composite anodes. This work elucidates the behavior and failure mechanisms of Si-based anodes in SSBs at high temperatures and provides insights into upgrading Si-based anodes for application in SSBs.

Abstract
Global hydrological models (GHMs) are widely used to assess the impact of climate change on streamflow, floods, and hydrological droughts. For the ‘model evaluation and impact attribution’ part of the current round of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP3a), modelling teams generated historical simulations based on observed climate and direct human forcings with updated model versions. Here we provide a comprehensive evaluation of daily and maximum annual discharge based on ISIMIP3a simulations from nine GHMs by comparing the simulations to observational data from 644 river gauge stations. We also assess low flows and the effects of different river routing schemes. We find that models can reproduce variability in daily and maximum annual discharge, but tend to overestimate both quantities, as well as low flows. Models perform better at stations in wetter areas and at lower elevations. Discharge routed with the river routing model CaMa-Flood can improve the performance of some models, but for others, variability is overestimated, leading to reduced model performance. This study indicates that areas for future model development include improving the simulation of processes in arid regions and cold dynamics at high elevations. We further suggest that studies attributing observed changes in discharge to historical climate change using the current model ensemble will be most meaningful in humid areas, at low elevations, and in places with a regular seasonal discharge as these are the regions where the underlying dynamics seem to be best represented.
Cairo lattice with time-reversal non-invariant vertex couplings
Authors: Baradaran Marzieh , Exner Pavel 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
We analyze the spectrum of a periodic quantum graph of the Cairo lattice form. The used vertex coupling violates the time reversal invariance and its high-energy behavior depends on the vertex degree parity; in the considered example both odd and even parities are involved. The presence of the former implies that the spectrum is dominated by gaps. In addition, we discuss two modifications of the model in which this is not the case, the zero limit of the length parameter in the coupling, and the sign switch of the coupling matrix at the vertices of degree three; while different they both yield the same probability that a randomly chosen positive energy lies in the spectrum.
Time Once Again

Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter follows the development of political aid efforts in Russia through 1890, examining in detail the practices and patterns of activity that now existed. By 1883 a Moscow Society for Aid to Political Exiles and Prisoners (OPPSiZ) had emerged, rooted in the studentry at Moscow University and other higher educational institutions, including the vibrant women’s courses. Like its St. Petersburg counterpart, it drew in both revolutionaries and “sympathizers” and new leaders kept its activity going with each round of arrests. The subsequent development not only of the Petersburg society, which continued without interruption through several waves of arrests, but of others in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kazan, and other cities through the decade demonstrates the extent to which political aid practices became deeply ensconced in and provided a unifying thread for otherwise ephemeral revolutionary groupings. The final part of the chapter describes the creative ways in which those arrested brought these practices with them into exile, maintaining networks and serving as liaisons with groups in the two capitals and even émigrés, on the one hand, and with exiles and hard laborers (katorzhniki) in eastern Siberia on the other. Both material assistance and information were exchanged, keeping track of the fate of political exiles and katorzhniki and, at times, elevating them again as an object of transnational public concern.

Abstract

Background
Drivers of tuberculosis (TB) transmission in India, the country estimated to carry a quarter of the world's burden, are not well studied. We conducted a genomic epidemiology study to compare epidemiological success, host factors, and drug resistance among the 4 major Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) lineages (L1–L4) circulating in Pune, India.

Methods
We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of Mtb sputum culture–positive isolates from participants in two prospective cohort studies and predicted genotypic susceptibility using a validated random forest model. We compared lineage-specific phylogenetic and time-scaled metrics to assess epidemiological success.

Results
Of the 612 isolates that met sequence quality criteria, Most were L3 (44.6%). The majority (61.1%) of multidrug-resistant isolates were L2 (P &lt; .001) and L2 demonstrated a higher rate and more recent resistance acquisition. L4 and/or L2 demonstrated higher clustering and time-scaled haplotypic density (THD) compared to L3 and/or L1, suggesting higher epidemiological success. L4 demonstrated higher THD and clustering (odds ratio, 5.1 [95% confidence interval, 2.3–12.3]) in multivariate models controlling for host factors and resistance.

Conclusions
L2 shows a higher frequency of resistance, and both L2 and L4 demonstrate evidence of higher epidemiological success than L3 or L1 in Pune. Contact tracing around TB cases and heightened surveillance of TB DR in India is a public health priority.

Abstract
This experiment evaluated the effects of multiple bovine-appeasing substance (BAS) administration during a 42-d preconditioning program followed by a feedlot receiving period on productivity, health, and physiological variables of feeder cattle. Ninety calves were weaned, weighed, loaded into a livestock trailer, transported for 70 km, and unloaded at the Bozeman Agricultural Research and Teaching Farm for a 42-d preconditioning program. Upon arrival, calf body weight (BW) was recorded again, and both pre- and post-transport BWs were averaged and used as calf weaning initial BW. Calves were ranked by BW, sex, and age in a completely randomized design and assigned to receive 1) multiple administrations of BAS at weaning (day 0), days 14, 28, and before transport and feedlot entry (day 42; BAS; RSEA Group, Quartier Salignan, France; n = 9 pens/treatment), or 2) placebo (diethylene glycol monoethyl ether; CON; n = 9 pens/treatment). Treatments (5 mL) were applied to the nuchal skin area of each animal during the preconditioning period. Calves within treatment groups were ranked again by initial BW, sex, and age, in a manner that pens have similar initial BW, age, and three steers and two heifers and allocated to 1 of the18 drylot pens. On day 42, calves were combined within the treatment group, loaded into two different single double-deck commercial livestock trailers, and transported for 1,000 km (approximately 16 h). Upon arrival (day 43), calves were unloaded at the same feedyard. Blood samples were collected on days 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 43, 46, 50, 57, 64, and 90. Average daily gain, final BW, and feed efficiency did not differ (P &gt; 0.52) between BAS and CON calves in the preconditioning and receiving phases. A treatment × day interaction was detected (P &lt; 0.001) for plasma haptoglobin concentrations, which was greater (P &lt; 0.01) in CON on days 3 and 7 vs. BAS calves. During the preconditioning phase, serum NEFA concentration was reduced (P &lt; 0.01) in BAS on day 3 compared with CON calves. A treatment × day interaction was detected (P = 0.001) for exit velocity, which was greater (P &lt; 0.001) for CON vs. BAS calves on days 3, 7, 14, and 21 during the preconditioning phase and on day 46 of the receiving phase. Therefore, Applications of BAS reduced immunological responses and exit velocity associated with stress caused by management practices, but did not improve performance during the preconditioning and receiving phases.

Abstract
Over time, unmanaged stress and anxiety can potentially impact nursing students’ health and academic performance. A randomized controlled approach explored the effects music has on stress and anxiety levels in undergraduate nursing students. Students (n = 89) were randomized into two recording groups, and variables such as demographics, heart rate, blood pressure, and State-Trait Anxiety (STAI) scores were measured and compared. There were significant differences in mean STAI scores (p < .001), in heart rate means (p < .000), and in mean blood pressures (p < .001). Music can have an influence on students’ physiological and/or psychological responses while also promoting them to engage in self-care.
Comparing Energy-Based Devices for Striae Improvement: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Authors: Wu Ting-Ju , Huang Ya-Li , Kang Yi-No , Chen Kee-Hsin , Chen Chiehfeng 
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND
Striae distensae (SD) are cutaneous lesions that are caused by hormones or mechanical stress leading to rapid expansion of skin. Therefore, SD are now a cosmetic concern. However, improving SD is notoriously difficult. Among different treatments, energy-based devices (EBDs) are much more effective and controllable.

OBJECTIVE
The aim of this review was to determine the most effective type of EBD for improving the appearance of striae.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The population comprised patients suffering from striae. Different types of EBDs used to improve striae were compared. The primary outcome of the reduction in the width of striae was evaluated. A random-effects model was performed. The means and standard deviations were extracted.

RESULTS
Eighteen randomized controlled trials were included. The network meta-analysis revealed that after a comparison among the 4 types of EBDs, no significant differences were observed in the reduction of striae width.

CONCLUSION
Radiofrequency, ablative lasers, nonablative lasers, and intense pulsed light are all effective treatments for reducing the striae width. None of them was superior to the others. However, radiofrequency and ablative lasers may have the highest chance of improving the appearance of striae.
The necessity and role of scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
Authors: Wang Kristine Y. , Adams Olufemi E. , Yu Michael D. , Yonekawa Yoshihiro 
Published: May 2024

Purpose of review
With a decline in the use of scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair in recent years, this review seeks to provide a summary of the most recent research findings regarding the role of scleral buckling in the repair of RRD.

Recent findings
Many recent studies have compared visual and anatomic outcomes between scleral buckling and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for RRD repair. Some suggest superior outcomes with primary scleral buckling, particularly in younger, phakic patients, and in association with other risk factors that we review. Children do best with primary scleral buckling surgery. Functionally, scleral buckling may also result in lower rates of retinal displacement compared to PPV. When PPV is necessary, a supplemental buckle may benefit certain patients, while the advantage remains unclear in other clinical scenarios and necessitates further investigation.

Summary
Scleral buckling is an important technique for the repair of RRD and it is crucial to continue training retina surgeons in this technique to maximize patient outcomes.
Efficacy of music therapy for pain control of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies
Authors: Lei Ming , Li Guangquan , Tang Yizhi , Yuan Jinlong , Yang Tao , Gao Zhiyong 
Published: May 2024

Introduction:
Music therapy may have some potential in the pain control of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and this meta-analysis aims to study the analgesic efficacy of music therapy for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

Methods:
We have searched several databases including PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, EBSCO and Cochrane Library databases, and selected the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the efficacy of music therapy for pain control of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. This meta-analysis was conducted using the random-effect or fixed-effect model based on the heterogeneity.

Results:
Ten RCTs and 879 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with routine care for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, music therapy was associated with substantially reduced pain scores (standard mean difference [SMD] = −1.00; 95% CI = −1.57 to −0.42; P = .0007), improved patient satisfaction (SMD = 1.61; 95% CI = 0.45 to 2.77; P = .006) and willingness to repeat (SMD = 2.06; 95% CI = 0.40 to 3.72; P = .01), but had no influence on analgesic consumption (SMD = −3.11; 95% CI = −7.07 to 0.85; P = .12) or adverse events (OR = 1.66; 95% CI = 0.20 to 14.10; P = .64).

Conclusions:
Music therapy was effective to control the pain of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
Jintiange capsule may have a positive effect on pain relief and functional activity in OVCF patients with PVA: A meta-analysis of randomized control trials
Authors: Feng Ningning , Guan Jianbin , Yu Xing , Li Wenhao , Qiu Ziye , Jiang Guozheng , Yang Yongdong 
Published: May 2024

Background:
This study aims to systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions associated with Jintiange capsule (JTG capsule)-assisted percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).

Methods:
A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science Database, China Biomedical Database, China VIP Network, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and VIP Chinese Journal databases until June 1, 2022. Manual searches were also performed in relevant journals. Randomized controlled trials investigating the efficacy of JTG capsule-assisted PVA in the treatment of OVCF were identified and selected for inclusion. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the Cochrane risk bias assessment tool and Jadad scale. Meta-analysis was conducted using Stata MP18 software.

Results:
A total of 138 literatures were retrieved, and 12 RCTS were finally included after screening, involving 1099 patients. Overall, the quality of the included literature was low, and all the included literatures were randomized controlled experiments, among which 9 were grouped by random number table, and 3 did not specify the random assignment plan. The total effective rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (relative ratio: 1.19, 95% confidence interval: 1.11, 1.26, P = .868, I
2 = 0%). The heterogeneity of visual analog score, Oswestry disability index, bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar vertebrae, BMD of femoral neck and bone-γ-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein was high. The reasons for the high heterogeneity were the age of patients, the follow-up time and the small sample size. There is publication bias in visual analog score, Oswestry disability index scores, and lumbar spine bone mineral density, and we believe that publication bias may be related to selective reporting of positive results by the authors and selective publication of positive results by the publishers.

Conclusion:
JTG capsule has demonstrated promising outcomes in alleviating the pain experienced by OVCF patients following PVP. Additionally, it has shown efficacy in enhancing postoperative lumbar and back function. Furthermore, JTG capsule has been associated with improvements in postoperative vertebral BMD and serum bone-γ-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein levels. These findings suggest that JTG capsule could potentially serve as a viable adjunctive treatment option for managing osteoporosis following PVA.
