Authors: Santoso Nono Agus , Kamal Raysha , Nugraha Purwaditya , Natalia Happy Christin 
Published: March 2024

AbstractLampung is one of the best provinces in Indonesia in the agricultural sector. Research on agriculture in Lampung continues to develop over time. To expand land, research on agricultural land is needed. Agricultural soil contains chemical elements that support soil fertility. The aim of this research is to find out which chemical elements have the best correlation with soil fertility. The samples used were agricultural soil samples from the South Lampung and Pesawaran areas. The method used is a geochemical method with pH measurements and X-Ray Fluorescence testing. The results obtained were that the Mg element had a very strong correlation with soil fertility so that in the future the Mg element could be used as an indicator of soil fertility levels.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused geological mapping activities to be hampered. This study aims to create a 3D virtual rock outcrop model which is compiled from 2D rock outcrop images with Measured Stratigraphy (MS), strike & dip and the value of rock physical parameters to analyze geological structures in Wringinanom District, Gresik Regency. Analysis of geological structures will be contained in the form of folding reconstructions with rock physical parameter as a validation and descriptions of fault orientation. This research modeled 21 rock outcrops and will be tested 6 core sedimentary rock samples. Physical rock parameter tests in the form of density tests through the comparison of mass weighing results with dimensional measurements by calipers and P-wave velocity tests using the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) method. Petrological descriptions of core rock samples are based on direct observations. The results of 3D virtual rock outcrop integrated with measurements in the field can be used in analyzing geological structures. The study area consists of anticlines with the direction of layering the south (southwest) and north (northeast) wings and 50-degree reverse faults with southeast dipping orientation (N153°E). The folding reconstruction consists of sandstone (top), sandstone-clay interlude, and claystone (top) in the Pucangan Formation and sandstone (bottom) and claystone (bottom) in the Lidah Formation where the presence of fossil layers of bivalve mollusks is a firm correlation. The physical parameters of rocks cannot validate the reconstruction of folds due to the influence of differences in physical values of the sample supported by petrological descriptions.

Abstract
The flow of volcanic material from Semeru Volcano as one of the most active volcano on Java Island is still flowing and deposited along the Besuk Kobokan River which empties into Bambang Beach, Lumajang. The sediments as volcanic products are transported through the river environment with water as its transport agent. This transportation and deposition process has certain grain texture characteristics that can be identified through granulometry analysis. Geological observations and sediment sampling were carried out at 8 points along the Besuk Kobokan River. Granulometry analysis aims to identify the grain texture distribution of Semeru Volcano sediments that have been transported. The results of granulometric analysis that can identify the distribution of grain texture show that the first point to the fifth point at the sampling location was influenced by lahars flow and pyroclastic flow, resulting in randomness in grain size and rock texture. While the sixth to eighth points show the fluvial sedimentation process.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Bamboo is primarily used as a soil reinforcement material to build roadways and stabilize slopes and river banks. The current study aims to examine how bamboo grid reinforcing slopes behave in the form of various stepped reinforcing arrangements. The static and seismic characteristics of a slope reinforced with a bamboo grid were examined through 3D numerical analyses employing the finite element program MIDAS GTS NX (340) 2023 v1.1. In this study, the Strength Reduction Method (SRM), a crucial technique in finite element analysis, is utilized to compute the factor of safety and displacement in static stability analysis. Seismic stability analysis is conducted using non-linear time history analysis, examining the changes in critical slope parameters in response to seismic excitation. Three distinct arrangements of bamboo grids were employed to enhance slope stability. Static stability analysis, considering the factor of safety and deformation, was conducted for various bamboo grid-reinforced slope arrangements. Additionally, a comprehensive seismic analysis was performed specifically for the type 2 bamboo grid reinforcement arrangement, using the seismic record from the 1971 San Fernando Down earthquake. The safety factor increases by 52.10%, 68.67%, and 62.65% for type 1, 2, and 3 arrangements, respectively, compared to the unreinforced slope. Consequently, the type 2 bamboo grid-reinforced slope arrangement exhibits superior stability in terms of the safety factor. The lateral displacement of the type 2 arrangement is minimal compared to other types. Furthermore, a bamboo grid-reinforced slope with a vertical spacing of 1.5 m demonstrates less deformation than slopes with different vertical spacings. The seismic stability of the slope body surpasses other sections of the bamboo grid-reinforced slope.

Global synchronization on time-varying higher-order structures
Authors: Sayeed Anwar Md , Ghosh Dibakar , Carletti Timoteo 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Synchronization has received a lot of attention from the scientific community for systems evolving on static networks or higher-order structures, such as hypergraphs and simplicial complexes. In many relevant real-world applications, the latter are not static but do evolve in time, in this work we thus discuss the impact of the time-varying nature of higher-order structures in the emergence of global synchronization. To achieve this goal, we extend the master stability formalism to account, in a general way, for the additional contributions arising from the time evolution of the higher-order structure supporting the dynamical systems. The theory is successfully challenged against two illustrative examples, the Stuart–Landau nonlinear oscillator and the Lorenz chaotic oscillator.
The Making and Remaking of Makers
Authors: Finch Michael P M 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The introduction presents an overview of the book and the Makers of Modern Strategy volumes. It establishes Makers as a key reference point in the academic study of war, placing the volume within the broader context of the development of military history, strategic studies, and security studies in the twentieth century, and underlining the centrality of historians in its production. It considers the constituencies—academic, military, and civilian—that have engaged with Makers and addresses the differing visions of the book’s purpose held by its editors. It explains that the iterations of Makers—those that came to fruition and those that did not—and the activity associated with them constitute a broader ‘Makers project’ that stretched across much of the twentieth century, and that the genesis of this larger project constitutes an intellectual history which gives insights into understandings of strategy and the history of war.
Revisiting Makers
Authors: Finch Michael P M 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter explores the afterlife of Earle’s book and the attempts to revise and update it from the 1950s through to the end of the 1970s, in the context of the proliferation of conflict-centred academic disciplines and growing civilian engagement during the Cold War. The core of the chapter focuses on an attempt to by Theodore Ropp, an original contributor to the Earle volume, to remake the book by co-opting a nascent exchange programme between Duke University, the University of Singapore, and the Singapore Armed Forces in the late 1970s. His Makers of Modern Strategy Revisited was conceived as a companion publication of complementary essays intended to account for things that Earle and his contributors had missed, and it was also the project that cast Makers most explicitly as a work of military history.
Scholarship from the Arsenal of Democracy
Authors: Finch Michael P M 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The final chapter adopts a comparative approach to explore the contribution made by Makers to thinking about strategy and war across its various iterations, and considers the legacy of the book. It first explores the reaction to Paret’s Makers as an indication of fragmenting consensus on how a book such as Makers might tackle its subject, and emphasizes the role of the successor volume in cementing the status of the project. The chapter next examines Earle’s and Paret’s engagement with strategy to show the impact of their scholarly formation on their differing approaches, and to demonstrate the limitations of Paret’s thinking in relation to strategic and security studies. It then explores the relationship of the Makers project with the ‘canon’ of strategic thinkers, emphasizing the consistent lack of attention given to British strategic thinkers. The chapter closes with consideration of the relationship between classical thinkers and the Makers project.
Admixture and Genetic Differentiation of Transplanted Tlaxcaltecan Populations
Authors: Crawford Michael H 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
A historically based time dimension of 300 years was used to measure the genetic micro-differentiation of transplanted populations from the Valley of Tlaxcala (Central Mexico) to Cuanalan and Saltillo. A garrison was formed to accompany Cortes’s army in 1521 to subdue the Aztecs in the adjoining valley. In 1591, 400 families from the Valley of Tlaxcala were relocated to Saltillo. Blood samples, anthropometry, and dental impressions were taken from Tlaxcaltecan volunteers in 1969 from two communities in the Valley of Tlaxcala: San Pablo del Monte (population with no Spanish admixture) and the City of Tlaxcala, administrative Spanish Center and a Mestizo community. Follow-up studies were conducted in 1972 and 1974 in the two transplanted communities. Genetically, the populations from the Valley of Tlaxcala clustered together, while the transplanted groups had diverged significantly. The exact measure of population genetic and morphological differentiated was complicated by varying degrees of admixture.
Origins of the Irish Travelers (Tinkers)
Authors: Crawford Michael H 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The Irish Travelers (Tinkers) are itinerant populations that traverse the countryside in painted, horse-drawn caravans, with lifestyles similar to the Romany Gypsies of Europe. This research focused on the origins of these itinerant populations. If they were Romany Gypsy in origin, they should genetically resemble populations of northern India. These itinerant populations were sampled, and volunteers were tested for 12 blood genetic markers and compared to a population of Irish from the town of Kilkenny. Genetically the Travelers resemble the surrounding Irish populations, but not the Romany or Indian populations from which the Romany Gypsies were derived. These Travelers were of Irish origins but differed genetically from the surrounding settled communities due to stochastic processes such as founder effect and genetic drift.
Aleutian Islands
Authors: Crawford Michael H 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the causes and consequences of the migrations and settlements of Unangan (Aleut) populations expanding out of Siberia along the Beringian landmass to settle an archipelago consisting of 200 islands, distributed over 1,800 kilometers between North America and Asia. Eleven Aleutian Islands were sampled by use of buccal swabs and analyzed for 750,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms distributed throughout the genome. Different admixture rates were revealed depending on which genetic markers were employed. For example, mitochondrial DNA (maternal line) displayed only Aleut haplotypes; that is, they were 100% indigenous. In contrast, NRY markers exhibited only 15% Aleut ancestry among males and 85% Russian admixture. Autosomal short tandem repeats suggest that 60% of Aleut ancestry was indigenous and 40% of the genes came from Russia or other European countries. Genetic discontinuity in the Aleutian Island populations was reflected in changes in climate effecting water turbulence and periods of possible migration.
Alexander Hamilton’s Constitutional Jurisprudence and the Bank Bill
Authors: Hoffer Peter Charles 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Alexander Hamilton's view of law was more than pragmatic. Forward looking, and innovative, it saw law as a creative tool. Often misread, and dismissed, as mere policy preference, it was in fact sophisticated and superbly articulated jurisprudence. In the years between the ratification debate and the proposal for the First Bank of the United States, Hamilton displayed this jurisprudence to great effect.

AbstractObjectivesDrug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) has shown promise as a treatment modality for primary liver cancer and colorectal cancer liver metastasis. However, its role in pancreatic cancer liver metastasis (PCLM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of DEB-TACE in PCLM patients.MethodsA retrospective study included 10 PCLM patients who underwent DEB-TACE using CalliSpheres® microspheres as the chemoembolization material. Treatment response, survival outcomes, adverse events, and liver function indexes were comprehensively assessed.ResultsAmong the patients, complete response, partial response, stable disease, and progressive disease rates were 0.0%, 40.0%, 30.0%, and 30.0%, respectively. The objective response rate was 40.0%, and the disease-control rate was 70.0%. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.0 months (95% CI: 0.0-26.7), with a 1-year PFS rate of 48.0%. The median overall survival (OS) was 18.0 months (95% CI: 6.0-30.0), with a 1-year OS rate of 80.0%. Additionally, no significant differences were observed in any of the liver function indexes, including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, etc., between pre- and posttreatment evaluations. Adverse events included pain, grade 1-2 vomiting, fever, and transient liver dysfunction.ConclusionsDEB-TACE demonstrates a promising treatment response, favorable survival profile, and satisfactory safety in PCLM patients.Advances in knowledgeThis study adds to the current research by providing novel evidence on the efficacy, safety, and favorable survival outcomes of DEB-TACE in treating PCLM, highlighting its potential as an effective therapeutic option in this specific population.
The role of cultural competency training to address health disparities in surgical settings
Authors: Mora Roberto , Maze Mervyn 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background
Disparities in health care delivered to marginalized groups are unjust and result in poor health outcomes that increase the cost of care for everyone. These disparities are largely avoidable and health care providers, have been targeted with education and specialised training to address these disparities.

Sources of Data
In this manuscript we have sought out both peer-reviewed material on Pubmed, as well as policy statements on the potential role of cultural competency training (CCT) for providers in the surgical care setting. The goal of undertaking this work was to determine whether there is evidence that these endeavours are effective at reducing disparities.

Areas of Agreement
The unjustness of health care disparities is universally accepted.

Areas of Controversy
Whether the outcome of CCT justifies the cost has not been effectively answered.

Growing Points
These include the structure/content of the CCT and whether the training should be delivered to teams in the surgical setting.

Areas timely for developing Research
Because health outcomes are affected by many different inputs, should the effectiveness of CCT be improvement in health outcomes or should we use a proxy or a surrogate of health outcomes.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Tau, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, is poorly characterized in cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We aimed to assess the clinico-radiological correlations between tau positron emission tomography scans and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We assessed cerebral amyloid and hyperphosphorylated tau in patients with probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy (n = 31) and hypertensive small vessel disease (n = 27) using 11C-Pittsburgh compound B and 18F-T807 positron emission tomography. Multivariable regression models were employed to assess radio-clinical features related to cerebral tau pathology in cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy exhibited a higher cerebral tau burden in the inferior temporal lobe [1.25 (1.17–1.42) versus 1.08 (1.05–1.22), P &lt; 0.001] and all Braak stage regions of interest (P &lt; 0.05) than hypertensive small vessel disease, although the differences were attenuated after age adjustment. Cerebral tau pathology was significantly associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related vascular markers, including cortical superficial siderosis (β = 0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.04–0.21) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy score (β = 0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.03–0.21) after adjustment for age, ApoE4 status and whole cortex amyloid load. Tau pathology correlated significantly with cognitive score (Spearman’s ρ=−0.56, P = 0.001) and hippocampal volume (−0.49, P = 0.007), even after adjustment. In conclusion, tau pathology is more frequent in sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy than in hypertensive small vessel disease. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related vascular pathologies, especially cortical superficial siderosis, are potential markers of cerebral tau pathology suggestive of concomitant Alzheimer’s disease.
Temperature-dependent chlorosomal self-aggregation of bacteriochlorophyll-d analogs with a branched alkyl chain in a single 1-chlorooctane solvent
Authors: Hara Nobuyuki , Tamiaki Hitoshi 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Recently, the supramolecular polymerization of chlorophyll pigments mimicking a natural light-harvesting apparatus (chlorosome) was demonstrated in low-polar organic solvents or aqueous solutions. To obtain the most aggregation models, a concentrated solution of the pigments in a polar organic solvent was diluted with a large amount of a nonpolar organic solvent or water. Here, bacteriochlorophyll-d analogs possessing branched alkyl chains of different lengths at the peripheral 17-propionate residue on the core chlorin π-system were prepared and their highly soluble chlorosomal supramolecules were produced in single 1-chlorooctane as a low-polar solvent. Temperature-dependent electronic absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopies were employed to analyze their self-aggregation and disaggregation mechanisms. The synthetic analogs were monomeric at high temperatures and self-aggregated during cooling of the hot solution through a non-sigmoidal pathway. The obtained chlorosomal self-aggregates were reversibly monomerized by heating the homogeneous solution. The disaggregation pathway was fitted to an isodesmic model whose melting points depended on the alkyl-chain lengths.
