AbstractBackgroundRadical prostatectomy (RP) and radical cystectomy (RC) with concurrent pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) are considered as the curative surgical treatment options for localized prostate cancer (PC) or muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (BC). Regarding lymphatic leakage management after PLND, there is no standard of care, with different therapeutic approaches having been reported with varying success rates.MethodsSeventy patients underwent pelvic lymphadenectomy during robotic RP and RC with postoperative pelvic drainage volume more than 50 mL/day before the removal of drainage tube, were retrospectively evaluated in this study between August 2015 and June 2023. If the pelvic drainage volume on postoperative Day 2 was more than 50 mL/day, a drainage fluid creatinine was routinely tested to rule out urine leakage. We removed the drainage if the patient had no significant abdominal free fluid collection, no abdominal distension or pain, no fever, and no abdominal tenderness. After 1‐day observation of the vital signs and abdominal symptoms, the patient was discharged and followed‐up in clinic for 2 weeks after surgery.ResultsForty‐one cases underwent the early drainage removal even if the pelvic drainage volume was more than 50 mL/day. Among these forty‐one cases, twenty‐five drainage tubes were removed when drainage volume was more than 100 mL/day. All the forty‐one cases with pelvic drainage volume greater than 50 mL/day were successfully managed with the early drainage removal. No paracentesis or drainage placement was required. No re‐admission occured during the follow‐up period.ConclusionIt is safe to manage the high‐volume pelvic lymphatic leakage by early clamping of the drainage tube, ultrasonography assessment of no significant residual fluid in the abdominal and pelvic cavity, and then the early removal of the drainage tube.

AbstractBackgroundVeterinarians should be able to easily access scientific evidence about medical products and devices to incorporate into their clinical decision making. While the characteristics and quality of supporting information accompanying device and pharmaceutical advertisements have been studied in human medicine, little is known about this topic in veterinary medicine. The aim of this study was to characterise the supporting information provided by manufacturers of prescribed products, tests or devices in promotional material found in two commonly read UK‐based veterinary publications.MethodsAdvertisements contained in issues of two veterinary periodicals published between July 2017 and July 2018 were analysed for advertisement and product characteristics and for items of accompanying information. Literature searches were conducted to assess the availability of peer‐reviewed sources of information on advertised products.ResultsA minority (16%) of the 451 analysed advertisements were accompanied by references to peer‐reviewed literature, despite the availability of scientific literature for many of the products advertised.LimitationThis study sampled two professional publications over a narrow time period.ConclusionsThere may be insufficient evidence being provided to veterinary professionals via marketing features; this may limit the accessibility of scientific information for clinical decision making around advertised products.

AbstractObjectivesThe objective of this study was to study the various outcomes among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19)‐associated mucormycosis (CAM) in terms of morbidity and mortality.MethodsA prospective study was done on 107 patients (60 male, 47 female) in the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Government Medical College, Patiala, India, diagnosed with CAM from April 2021 to August 2021. The patients were managed both medically and surgically. The follow‐up was done up to 2 years to assess the various outcomes.ResultsOut of 107 patients, short‐term (3 months) survival was 68.22%, and long‐term (2 years) survival was 52.34%. Overall mortality was 47.66%, with short‐term mortality of 31.77% and long‐term mortality of 15.89%. Eye loss was seen in 17 patients, residual ophthalmoplegia in 12, palatal loss in 15, depression in 56, cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea in two, and recurrence in two patients.ConclusionsIn conclusion, despite early management and successful initial outcome, the patients are still haunted by the after‐effects of CAM like residual morbidity in terms of eye and palate loss, ophthalmoplegia, and depression. Delayed mortality has also been noticed over 2 years of follow‐up.

Published: February 2024

AbstractReliable estimates of prairie dog (Cynomys spp.) population size and distribution are critical for assessing the status of prairie dogs and for selecting sites to reintroduce black‐footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes). The density of active prairie dog burrows has commonly been used as an index of prairie dog abundance. Indices derived from active burrow counts were developed for black‐tailed (C. ludovicianus) and white‐tailed (C. leucurus) prairie dogs, but their efficacy has not been evaluated for all prairie dog species and studies affirming their validity with robust abundance estimators are few. We indexed or estimated the abundance of Gunnison's prairie dogs (C. gunnisoni) in the Aubrey Valley, Arizona, USA, in 2006 at 2 different time periods using 4 different methods—maximum above ground counts (MAGC), minimum number known alive (MNKA), capture‐mark‐recapture (CMR), and mark‐resight—and compared these estimates to active burrow counts in 2005 and 2006. We found no positive relationship between active burrow counts and any abundance estimators. Mark‐resight estimates of abundance were greater than the MNKA and were positively correlated with both the MNKA (r2 = 0.30) and CMR estimates (r2 = 0.49). Both CMR estimates and MAGC were typically below the MNKA and therefore biased low. Our results indicated that more rigorous estimation methods may be necessary to accurately estimate prairie dog abundance and assess habitat quality for ferret conservation.

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe chapter briefly describes the book structure and the contents of the chapters. Two sections compose the book: the first describes the main typologies of NeWSps and the evolution of this phenomenon, and the second focuses on NeWSps location and its evolution. The chapter also describes the methodological approaches to explore NeWSps, and underlines to what extent the book fills the gap in the literature on NeWSp typologies and geographical patterns.
University Hubs: Hybrid Spaces Between Campus, Work, and Social Spaces
Authors: Migliore Alessandra , Tagliaro Chiara , Schaumann Davide , Hua Ying 
Published: February 2024

AbstractIn recent years work and learning have radically changed to support community-focused, inter-professional, and interdisciplinary engagements. In response, companies and public administrations have been developing networked and dispersed workspaces to grant people access to a variety of places tailored to their needs. Likewise, university campuses have been evolving in the same direction. Aiming to expand into different geographical contexts, universities have been activating off-campus facilities that enact their mission of sustainable development, university-industry connection, and social inclusion. However, the phenomenon is still poorly understood even though evidence exists that it is an expanding trend. This study analyses this emergent phenomenon we call University Hubs by distinguishing it from other similar dynamics and discussing it in the context of the hybridization of spaces for study and work. Through a preliminary case study analysis, the paper reflects on University Hubs as an opportunity for the development of future university models. These spaces can pursue knowledge creation and sharing with diverse communities outside the campus boundaries, but they entail the risk of simply enhancing university visibility in different places without pursuing a true engagement with local communities.

Published: February 2024

AbstractCoworking and coworking spaces have proliferated over the last decade, and research has shown how these flexible, shared workspaces provide crucial resources for freelance and self-employed workers. This chapter aims to understand how care is practised in and through coworking spaces. Drawing on interviews with female hosts in different spaces across Europe, we apply Joan Tronto’s ethics of care framework (Tronto in Moral boundaries: A political argument for an ethic of care. Routledge [43]; Tronto in Caring democracy: Markets, equality, and justice. NYU Press [44]) to analyze caring practices in coworking spaces. This chapter adds to the literature on how coworking hosts and community managers provide care to “maintain, continue, and repair” (Fisher and Tronto in Work and identity in women’s lives. SUNY Press [18], p. 40) community and the hospitable atmosphere in coworking spaces across Europe.
Historical Snapshot

Published: February 2024

AbstractThroughout this book, we will encounter the interplay of metric concepts with algebraic objects. In classical texts such as Salmon’s book [156], metric properties of algebraic varieties were essential. This includes the curvature of algebraic curves and computing their arc lengths and circumscribed areas using integral calculus. Conversely, many curves of interest were defined in terms of distances or angular conditions. This chapter provides an introduction to this classical approach to algebraic curves.
Computer Vision

AbstractThe field of computer vision studies how computers can gain understanding from images and videos, similar to human cognitive abilities. One of the classical challenges is to reconstruct a 3D object from images taken by several unknown cameras. While the resulting questions in multiview geometry [80] have a long history in computer vision, recent years have seen a confluence with ideas and algorithms from algebraic geometry.

AbstractThe identification of individual palaeoecological and societal aspects allows the comparison of transformation processes across completely different ecological and historic situations. This basic concept proves, on the one hand, the comparability of transformation processes and the parameters involved in them, and shows on the other hand how diverse the appearance and expression of transformation can be. The investigation of transformations occurring across 15,000 years of human and environmental history is a complex undertaking and involves the consideration of archives of varying accessibility, handled by different disciplines using different analyses and approaches. This chapter demonstrates one approach used by Kiel Archaeology to integrate this heterogeneity in order to answer common research questions.
Conceptualising an Anatomy of Transformations: DPSIR, Theorisation, Semiotics and Emergence

Published: February 2024

AbstractTransformation processes that affect past societies can be complex and difficult to understand when observed at larger scales, especially when many factors are involved. Furthermore, researching transformations can often become reductive, with too much focus on only some factors or aspects of past societies, to the detriment of others. This has been the challenge of large-scale socio-environmental projects of recent years, including our own.In order to address this issue, this chapter develops a model of the anatomy of transformations that is built upon four main pillars. The first pillar is DPSIR (Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response). Originally used in ecological studies, DPSIR provides a flexible framework that allows us to recognise how societies and ecosystems affect one another in a dynamic manner. Within the DPSIR framework, a second pillar based on theorization allows us to contextualise human behaviour at different scales, for example, through practice theory or cultural evolutionary theory. The third pillar presupposes that human societies are built on meaning and uses semiotics to help us uncover the semantic dimension of past transformations. Finally, the fourth pillar is emergence, which conceives of transformations as diachronic processes in which ecosystems and societies develop new properties based on their interaction.This anatomy has the aim of assembling different aspects of socio-environmental and archaeological research in order to produce a comprehensive picture of past transformations. At the same time, this overall framework is open-ended, which both makes it possible to adapt it to different chronological and geographical circumstances and allows adopters to add or remove elements as they see fit.
Sociolinguistic Aspects of Popular Abbreviations in Hong Kong Cantonese
Authors: Cheng Ken Siu-kei , Ho Ka-wai 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis paper aims to study certain popular abbreviations in Hong Kong Cantonese in recent years from a sociolinguistic perspective so as to understand their characteristics and uniqueness. It was found that these abbreviations come from different languages and regions, and different strategies such as Cantonese romanization acronym and translation of foreign languages into Chinese characters were used in the process of abbreviation. In terms of grammar, they are mainly composed of adverb-verb and verb-object structures, and the part of speech may change in some cases. Some abbreviations also have rhetorical effects related to homonyms or taboos. These abbreviations are mastered by younger generations and are mostly used in informal domains. The main consideration for adopting abbreviations is of practical concern as well as their function of “insider communication”. Respondents rated Cantonese abbreviations as overall positive.
Color-kinematics duality with minimal deformation: two-loop four-gluon amplitudes in pure Yang-Mills revisited
Authors: Li Zeyu , Yang Gang 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The conjectured duality between color and kinematics has significantly advanced our understanding of both gauge and gravitational theories. However, constructing numerators that manifest the color-kinematics (CK) duality, even for the two-loop four-gluon amplitude in pure Yang-Mills, has been challenging. In this paper, we revisit this amplitude and show that the difficulty of applying CK duality can be overcome by introducing a simple deformation. Our approach distinguishes itself from previous studies by maximizing the use of off-shell CK duality while maintaining a compact ansatz. In particular, the deformation we introduce satisfies a subset of off-shell dual Jacobi relations. The resulting numerators are presented in d-dimensionally Lorentz invariant local form and are applicable to all helicities of external gluons. The solution we provide can be directly employed to construct the corresponding gravitational amplitude through double copy. Our findings suggest a novel and efficient strategy for constructing high-loop gauge and gravitational amplitudes using CK duality.
Killing spinors for finite temperature Euclidean solutions at the BPS bound
Authors: Hegde Subramanya , Virmani Amitabh 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In a recent paper [arXiv:2308.00038], Anupam, Chowdhury, and Sen conjectured that the finite temperature Euclidean five-dimensional Cvetic-Youm solution saturating the BPS bound is supersymmetric. In this paper, we explicitly construct Killing spinors for this solution in five-dimensional minimal supergravity. We also expand on the previous discussions of Killing spinors for the finite temperature Euclidean Kerr-Newman solution saturating the BPS bound. For both these cases, we show that the total charge gets divided into two harmonic sources on three-dimensional flat base space.
Anomalies and persistent order in the chiral Gross-Neveu model
Authors: Ciccone Riccardo , Di Pietro Lorenzo , Serone Marco 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
We study the 2d chiral Gross-Neveu model at finite temperature T and chemical potential μ. The analysis is performed by relating the theory to a SU(N) × U(1) Wess-Zumino-Witten model with appropriate levels and global identifications necessary to keep track of the fermion spin structures. At μ = 0 we show that a certain ℤ2-valued ’t Hooft anomaly forbids the system to be trivially gapped when fermions are periodic along the thermal circle for any N and any T > 0. We also study the two-point function of a certain composite fermion operator which allows us to determine the remnants for T > 0 of the inhomogeneous chiral phase configuration found at T = 0 for any N and any μ. The inhomogeneous configuration decays exponentially at large distances for anti-periodic fermions while it persists for T > 0 and any μ for periodic fermions, as expected from anomaly considerations. A large N analysis confirms the above findings.

AbstractAbnormal autophagy is one of the vital features in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unelucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether Block of Proliferation 1 (BOP1) is involved in the onset of autophagy activation of granulosa cells in PCOS. Firstly, we found that BOP1 expression was significantly down-regulated in the ovaries of PCOS mice, which was associated with the development of PCOS. Next, local injection of lentiviral vectors in the ovary for the overexpression of BOP1 significantly alleviated the phenotypes of elevated androgens, disturbed estrous cycle, and abnormal follicular development in PCOS mice. Subsequently, we found that knockdown of BOP1 activated autophagy of granulosa cells in the in vitro experiments, whereas overexpression of BOP1 inhibited autophagy in both in vivo and in vitro models. Mechanistically, BOP1 knockdown triggered the nucleolus stress response, which caused RPL11 to be released from the nucleolus into the nucleoplasm and inhibited the E3 ubiquitination ligase of MDM2, thereby enhancing the stability of p53. Subsequently, P53 inhibited mTOR, thereby activating autophagy in granulosa cells. In addition, the mRNA level of BOP1 was negatively correlated with antral follicle count (AFC), body–mass index (BMI), serum androgen levels, and anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in patients with PCOS. In summary, our study demonstrates that BOP1 downregulation inhibits mTOR phosphorylation through activation of the p53-dependent nucleolus stress response, which subsequently contributes to aberrant autophagy in granulosa cells, revealing that BOP1 may be a key target for probing the mechanisms of PCOS.

AbstractVPS35 plays a key role in neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Many genetic studies have shown a close relationship between autophagy and PD pathophysiology, and specifically, the PD-causing D620N mutation in VPS35 has been shown to impair autophagy. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying neuronal cell death and impaired autophagy in PD are debated. Notably, increasing evidence suggests that Rab9-dependent “alternative” autophagy, which is driven by a different molecular mechanism that driving ATG5-dependent “conventional” autophagy, also contributes to neurodegenerative process. In this study, we investigated the relationship between alternative autophagy and VPS35 D620N mutant-related PD pathogenesis. We isolated iPSCs from the blood mononuclear cell population of two PD patients carrying the VPS35 D620N mutant. In addition, we used CRISPR-Cas9 to generate SH-SY5Y cells carrying the D620N variant of VPS35. We first revealed that the number of autophagic vacuoles was significantly decreased in ATG5-knockout Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast or ATG5-knockdown patient-derived dopaminergic neurons carrying the VPS35 D620N mutant compared with that of the wild type VPS35 control cells. Furthermore, estrogen, which activates alternative autophagy pathways, increased the number of autophagic vacuoles in ATG5-knockdown VPS35 D620N mutant dopaminergic neurons. Estrogen induces Rab9 phosphorylation, mediated through Ulk1 phosphorylation, ultimately regulating alternative autophagy. Moreover, estrogen reduced the apoptosis rate of VPS35 D620N neurons, and this effect of estrogen was diminished under alternative autophagy knockdown conditions. In conclusion, alternative autophagy might be important for maintaining neuronal homeostasis and may be associated with the neuroprotective effect of estrogen in PD with VPS35 D620N.
