Abstract
Background
Migratory birds generally have tightly scheduled annual cycles, in which delays can have carry-over effects on the timing of later events, ultimately impacting reproductive output. Whether temporal carry-over effects are more pronounced among migrations over larger distances, with tighter schedules, is a largely unexplored question.

Methods
We tracked individual Arctic Skuas Stercorarius parasiticus, a long-distance migratory seabird, from eight breeding populations between Greenland and Siberia using light-level geolocators. We tested whether migration schedules among breeding populations differ as a function of their use of seven widely divergent wintering areas across the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.

Results
Breeding at higher latitudes led not only to later reproduction and migration, but also faster spring migration and shorter time between return to the breeding area and clutch initiation. Wintering area was consistent within individuals among years; and more distant areas were associated with more time spent on migration and less time in the wintering areas. Skuas adjusted the period spent in the wintering area, regardless of migration distance, which buffered the variation in timing of autumn migration. Choice of wintering area had only minor effects on timing of return at the breeding area and timing of breeding and these effects were not consistent between breeding populations.

Conclusion
The lack of a consistent effect of wintering area on timing of return between breeding areas indicates that individuals synchronize their arrival with others in their population despite extensive individual differences in migration strategies.
Optimal liquidation using extended trading close for multiple trading days
Authors: Zhu Jianchang , Zhang Leilei , Sun Xuchu 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe extended trading close (ETC) provides institutional investors an opportunity to trade at the closing price after the regular trading session (RTS) and disclosing the order imbalances to other market participants. ETCs exist in the Nasdaq, the SSE STAR, the SZSE ChiNext and the TWSE. To help a risk-averse institutional investor take advantage of the RTS and the ETC for liquidation, we develop a multistage dynamic programming model including the ETC, and derive recursive solutions for the multiple trading days scenario with closed-form solutions for the scenario with only two trading days. We also verify that the ETC is able to mitigate extreme price movements caused by fast liquidation, which is also a goal of the ETC set out by the SSE STAR and the SZSE ChiNext. Finally, we derive three results. First, an institutional investor can reduce execution costs after the introduction of the ETC. Second, a critical trading day exists, and to avoid prematurely revealing trading intentions, the investor should not trade in the ETC until such day. Third, even though the ETC orders submitted by the investor are unfilled, implementation of the ETC encourages the investor to change the liquidation strategy in the RTS, which reduces extreme price movements. In summary, the practical implications of this paper are that the investor should not trade during the ETC on the front few days to avoid prematurely revealing the investor’s trading intention by unfilled orders in the ETC and that introducing the ETC can reduce liquidation costs and extreme price movements.
The macro-financial effects of Climate Policy Risk: evidence from Switzerland
Authors: Berthold Brendan 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis paper quantifies empirically the macroeconomic and financial effects of Climate Policy Risk (CPR) in Switzerland. To do so, I develop a new CPR index using text analysis techniques on a large dataset of Swiss media articles. The identification of CPR shocks is achieved by using narrative restrictions around events which are likely to have coincided with an increase in the probability of adopting tighter climate policies. I find that CPR shocks are associated with a significant decline in real GDP and a decline in firm-level CO2 emissions. Using firm-level equity price data and rolling linear panel regressions, I document that CPR is increasingly reflected in asset prices. I further find that CO2-intensive firms perform significantly worse than their greener counterparts following events which increased transition risk. The results are in line with recent theoretical contributions.
A retrospective comparative study of double cleavage-stage embryo transfer versus single blastocyst in frozen-thawed cycles
Authors: Lim Yun-Hsuen , Sim Poo Keen , Nadkarni Prashant 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Background
This retrospective study aimed to compare the outcomes of day 3 double embryo transfer (DET) with single blastocyst transfer (SBT) during frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. A total of 999 women below the age of 38 years who underwent FET at Malaysia’s KL Fertility and Gynaecology Centre from January 2019 to December 2021 were analyzed. Patients with autologous eggs were recruited in the study. All the eggs were inseminated by intracytoplasmic sperm injection. The embryos were vitrified on day 3 cleavage-stage or blastocyst stage with Cryotop® method. The FET was performed following natural cycle (NC), modified natural cycle (m-NC), or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycles. The NC and m-NC groups received oral dydrogesterone for luteal phase support.

Results
There were no statistical differences in the rates of positive pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, and ongoing pregnancy between the two groups. However, implantation rates were significantly higher in the SBT group (50.1% versus 37.6%, p < 0.05). The day 3 DET group had significantly higher multiple pregnancy rates (28.7% versus 1.1%, p < 0.05). Subgroup analysis of embryo transfers performed following NC, m-NC, or HRT cycles showed similar results.

Conclusions
This study suggests that SBT is the better choice for embryo transfers as it had higher implantation rates and its pregnancy rates were similar to day 3 DET. The SBT also significantly reduced the incidence of multiple pregnancies without compromising pregnancy rates.
Assessing the socio-cultural impact of urban revitalisation using Relative Positive Impact Index (RPII)
Authors: Abdurahiman Shahim , Kasthurba A. K. , Nuzhat Afifa 
Published: March 2024

AbstractUrban heritage is a vital resource that connects communities to their local identity. Unplanned developments and rapid urbanisation often harm the authenticity of historic areas, disrupting the cultural fabric and altering their character. This study introduces the Relative Positive Impact Index (RPII), a novel technique for assessing the socio-cultural impacts of urban revitalisation. The significance of RPII lies in its ability to quantitatively evaluate the impacts on the cultural fabric and integrity of historic urban areas, which is crucial for sustainable urban development. The study’s objective is to apply RPII in evaluating qualitative socio-cultural characteristics in historic urban areas, with a focus on four main criteria and 16 sub-criteria, in the case of the Kuttichira precinct. The methodology integrates the analysis of published literature, a quantitative survey mapping the stakeholders’ perception, and qualitative insights. This approach facilitates an in-depth understanding of how urban revitalisation affects local socio-cultural dynamics, preserving the authenticity and character of historic areas. The study reveals that the revitalisation project in Kuttichira positively impacts the socio-cultural fabric of the area, maintaining cultural integrity and addressing social challenges. These findings offer valuable insights for sustainable urban development and policymaking in historic areas. The study recommends the application of RPII in other urban precincts for comparative analysis and further development of urban development practices, contributing to informed urban policy and planning decisions.
New-onset mental illness and long-term survival in survivors of critical illness: population-based cohort study in South Korea
Authors: Oh Tak Kyu , Park Hye Yoon , Song In-Ae 
Published: March 2024

Background
Critical care unit (CCU) survivors have a high risk of developing mental illness.

Aims
We aimed to examine the incidence and associated factors of newly developed mental illness among CCU survivors of critical illness. Moreover, we examined the association between newly developed mental illness and 2-year all-cause mortality.

Method
All adult patients (≥20 years) who were admitted to the CCU during hospitalisation between 2010 and 2018 and survived for 1 year were defined as CCU survivors and were included in this nationwide population-based cohort study. CCU survivors with a history of mental illness before CCU admission were excluded from the study.

Results
A total of 1 353 722 CCU survivors were included in the analysis; of these, 33 743 survivors (2.5%) had newly developed mental illness within 1 year of CCU admission. Old age, longer CCU stay, hospital admission through the emergency room, increased total cost of hospitalisation, mechanical ventilatory support, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support and continuous renal replacement therapy were associated with an increased incidence of newly developed mental illness. Moreover, the newly developed mental illness group showed a 2.36-fold higher 2-year all-cause mortality rate than the no mental illness group (hazard ratio: 2.36; 95% CI: 2.30–2.42; P < 0.001).

Conclusions
In South Korea, 2.5% of CCU survivors had newly developed mental illness within 1 year of CCU admission. Moreover, newly developed mental illness was associated with an increased 2-year all-cause mortality.
Predicting Tumor Volume in Primary Hyperparathyroidism From Preoperative Clinical Data
Authors: Nakai Tomoyoshi , Horiuchi Kiyomi , Okamoto Takahiro 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Context
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrine disorder that is treated surgically, and some correlation between the size of the responsible lesion and preoperative clinical data is assumed.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to predict tumor volume of the lesion responsible for PHPT from preoperative clinical data.

Methods
Participants comprised patients with surgically treated PHPT who underwent initial surgery in our department between January 2000 and December 2021. The volume of parathyroid gland removed was used as the primary outcome and associations with preoperative clinical data were assessed by multivariable analysis.

Results
A positive correlation was identified between parathyroid tumor volume and both preoperative intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) (Spearman's r = 0.503) and calcium values (Spearman's r = 0.338). Data for intact PTH value and tumor volume were logarithmically transformed (ln-PTH = log-transformed intact PTH value; ln-volume = log-transformed tumor volume). Multiple regression analysis revealed male sex, ln-PTH and calcium values as significant predictors of ln-volume, with standardized regression coefficients of 0.213 (95% CI 0.103-0.323), 0.5018 (95% CI 0.4442-0559), and 0.322 (95% CI 0.0339-0.149), respectively. The adjusted R2 for this model is 0.320.

Conclusion
Preoperative serum intact PTH value is associated with tumor volume of the lesion responsible for PHPT. A rough estimation of the tumor size would provide responsible physicians with opportunities to add further imaging tests or plan appropriate surgical strategies.
Beekeeping from the South
Authors: Márquez-Osuna Angélica 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This article examines the role of the stingless bee Melipona beecheii in beekeeping practices in the Yucatán Peninsula, México, in the nineteenth century. Native to Yucatán, the Melipona bee is capable of producing large amounts of honey and has been bred by Maya communities for over three thousand years. In the twentieth century, the Melipona population declined with the implementation of modern apiculture, a system designed to maximize the production of honey and wax with the European native honeybee, Apis mellifera. Previous scholarship on beekeeping has labeled the development of modern apiculture and the systematic expansion of the European honeybee across the Americas as a success story. However, these studies do not consider the cultural, economic, and social transformations brought by the introduction of Apis mellifera in environments that were already rich in bee biodiversity. In order to provide some clues about the impact of—and responses to—modern apiculture, this article focuses on the moment before this process occurred in the Yucatán Peninsula, when Melipona was still environmentally, culturally, and economically significant. The author argues that, far from being an unchanging cultural practice doomed to be superseded by modern apiculture, Melipona beekeeping continued to adapt in sophisticated ways to a modernizing world. During a period of upheaval, extraction of natural resources, environmental exploitation, violence, and Indigenous peoples’ defense of their land, the Melipona continued to be the only domesticated bee species used for beeswax and honey extraction in the entire peninsula during the nineteenth century.
The Second Hungarian Conquest of the Carpathian Basin
Authors: Pál Viktor 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
During the nineteenth century many European scientists shared the view that a nation could compete successfully if only it improved its landscape via new infrastructures, such as large reclamation and river regulation projects, and via the intensive use of natural resources—for example, the scientifically planned use of forests. This “high” modernization path orchestrated by the political and scientific elites of Hungary sought to consolidate control over resources, landscapes, and competing ethnic groups and was in many respects similar to the many other versions of high modernism in Europe at the time. This version, however, represented a particular vision closely linked to the ecological systems of the Middle Danube area. Although questions of the political, economic, and technological “rise” of Hungary have attracted scholarly attention for centuries, historians have not fully explored the ecological consequences of modernization. Three of these consequences—deforestation, desertification, and flooding—are the subjects of this article. More broadly, the article aims to show how the political and economic goals of nationalism produced a science of ecological domination.
An examination of Overactive Bladder Syndrome: present comprehension, methods of treatment, and innovative approaches
Authors: Kotowicz Zuzanna , Pabiś Jakub , Podgórski Piotr 
Published: March 2024

Introduction
Overactive bladder syndrome poses a major challenge to healthcare, as an accurate estimate of its prevalence proves elusive due to patients' reluctance to disclose the embarrassing symptoms that accompany the disorder. Symptoms such as frequent urination, nocturia and incontinence are not only distressing but also significantly impair patients' quality of life. Effective diagnosis and treatment require the identification of associated risk factors, and behavioural therapy serves as the basis for implementing lifestyle modifications. This comprehensive study delves into the managing of overactive bladder syndrome, shedding light on recent advances in diagnosis and treatment. In particular, it looks at the integration of minimally invasive techniques and new medications that promise to not only alleviate symptoms, but also significantly improve patients' overall quality of life.
Aim of the study
This review aims to identify risk factors, symptoms, methods of diagnosis of overactive bladder syndrome and solutions in its treatment process. The main aim is to present treatment methods with the latest developments.
Material and method
This article presents the current state of knowledge about overactive bladder syndrome in various scientific articles. Publications describing overactive bladder syndrome, its symptoms, impact on life comfort and treatment options, including recent reports in the field, were reviewed using the PubMed platform. The search included the keywords ‘overactive bladder’, ‘urgency urinary incontinence’, ‘anticholinergics’, ‘mirabegron’, ‘nocturia’.
“And this is the life jacket, the lifeline they’ve been wanting”: Participant perspectives on navigating challenges and successes of prescribed safer supply
Authors: Henderson Nancy , Marris John , Woodend Kirsten 
Published: March 2024

Background
In 2021, 43% of drug toxicity deaths in Ontario were reported by public health units serving medium-sized urban and rural communities. Safer supply programs (SSPs) have been primarily established in large urban centres. Given this, the current study is based on an evaluation of a SSP based in a medium-sized urban centre with a large catchment area that includes rural and Indigenous communities. The aim of this research paper is to understand the challenges and successes of the nurse practitioner-led SSP from the perspective of program participants.

Methods
Interpretive description was used to understand the experiences of 14 participants accessing a SSP. Each participant was interviewed using a semi-structured approach, and 13 of the interviewees also completed surveys accessed through Qualtrics. An iterative process using NVivo software was used to code interviews, and a constant comparative data analysis approach was used to refine and categorize codes to themes.

Findings
Three overarching themes were the result of this analysis: feeling better, renewed hope, and safety. These three themes capture the experiences of participants in the SSP, including both the challenges and successes they faced.

Conclusion
The findings and subsequent discussion focus on both the key best practices of the program, and areas for future development and improvement. Despite barriers to services, prescribed SSPs are improving the lives of people who use drugs, and the current outcomes align with reports and evaluations from other SSPs across Canada.

Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION:
Among children who suffer from acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) or chronic pancreatitis (CP), acute pancreatitis (AP) episodes are painful, often require hospitalization, and contribute to disease complications and progression. Despite this recognition, there are currently no interventions to prevent AP episodes. In this retrospective cohort study, we assessed the impact of pancreatic enzyme therapy (PERT) use on clinical outcomes among children with pancreatic-sufficient ARP or CP.

METHODS:
Children with pancreatic-sufficient ARP or CP in the INSPPIRE-2 cohort were included. Clinical outcomes were compared for those receiving vs not receiving PERT, as well as frequency of AP before and after PERT. Logistic regression was used to study the association between development of AP episodes after starting PERT and response predictors.

RESULTS:
Among 356 pancreatic-sufficient participants, 270 (76%) had ARP, and 60 (17%) received PERT. Among those on PERT, 42% did not have a subsequent AP episode, during a mean 2.1 years of follow-up. Children with a SPINK1 mutation (P = 0.005) and those with ARP (compared with CP, P = 0.008) were less likely to have an AP episode after starting PERT. After initiation of PERT, the mean AP annual incidence rate decreased from 3.14 down to 0.71 (P < 0.001).

DISCUSSION:
In a retrospective analysis, use of PERT was associated with a reduction in the incidence rate of AP among children with pancreatic-sufficient ARP or CP. These results support the need for a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of PERT to improve clinical outcomes among children with ARP or CP.
Hepatic Artery Aneurysm Causing Biliary Compression
Authors: El Ouardi Walid , El Mansoury Fatima Zahrae , Claude Guillaume , Briot Charline , Faivre Morgan 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
Hepatic artery aneurysms (HAAs) are rare, accounting for approximately 14%–20% of visceral artery aneurysms. Most HAAs do not display any symptoms, but they may potentially lead to complications, as in the case of our patient who presented with an HAA compressing the common bile duct, detected through contrast-enhanced endoscopy. There are no specific treatment recommendations for HAAs due to their rarity. However, it is advisable to treat HAAs, even if they are asymptomatic, due to the risk of complications through surgical or radiological means. Our patient was treated with radiological embolization along with endoscopic biliary calibration.
