BackgroundThe relationship between anterior cerebral artery (ACA) occlusion and moyamoya disease (MMD) has rarely been studied. In this study, we focused on a special type of MMD: isolated ACA-occlusive MMD. We investigated clinical attributes, genotypes and progression risk factors in patients with ACA-occlusive MMD, providing initial insights into the relationship between ACA occlusion and MMD.MethodsWe retrospectively analysed digital subtraction angiography (DSA) from 2486 patients and diagnosed 139 patients with ACA-occlusive MMD.RNF213p.R4810K (rs112735431) mutation analysis was performed. Patients were categorised into progression and non-progression groups based on whether they progressed to typical MMD. Differences in clinical characteristics, neuropsychological assessment, radiological findings and genotypes were evaluated. Logistic regression analyses identified risk factors for ACA-occlusive MMD progression.ResultsThe median age of patients with ACA-occlusive MMD was 36 years, and the primary symptom was transient ischaemic attack (TIA). 72.3% of ACA-occlusive MMD patients had cognitive decline. Of 116 patients who underwentRNF213gene mutation analysis, 90 patients (77.6%) carried theRNF213p.R4810K GG allele and 26 (22.4%) carried the GA allele. Of 102 patients with follow-up DSA data, 40 patients (39.2%) progressed. Kaplan-Meier curve estimates indicated a higher incidence of ischaemic stroke in the progression group during follow-up (p=0.035). Younger age (p=0.041),RNF213p.R4810K GA genotype (p=0.037) and poor collateral compensation from the middle cerebral artery (MCA) to ACA (p<0.001) were risk factors of ACA-occlusive MMD progression to typical MMD.ConclusionsCognitive decline and TIA might be the main manifestations of ACA-occlusive MMD. Isolated ACA occlusion may be an early signal of MMD. The initial lesion site of MMD is not strictly confined to the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery. Younger patients, patients withRNF213p.R4810K GA genotype or those with inadequate MCA-to-ACA compensation are more likely to develop typical MMD.
Observed soil arching-induced ground deformation and stress redistribution behind braced excavation
Authors: Liu Muchun , Meng Fanyan , Liu Zhen , Chen Renpeng 
Published: March 2024

This paper presents observed arching-induced ground deformation and stress redistribution behind braced excavation using the top-down construction method. The soil properties around the excavation were determined by laboratory and field tests. The ground deformation, soil displacement vector, strain path, principal strain, maximum shear strain, lateral earth pressure, pore water pressure, and effective stress path are presented based on the measured data. The majority of soil behind the wall is under volumetric expansion, indicating consolidation, creep behavior, or a combination of both. Besides, two periods of increases in pore pressure are observed, due to stress transfer from the lower to the upper parts (i.e., soil arching effect). The deep inward movement of the wall and the nearby soil accounts for the distribution of lateral earth pressure acting on the wall. The soil located behind the area of maximum wall deformation and adjacent to the wall, as well as the soil below the excavation base intersected by the shear plane, is in an active stress state. The lateral earth pressure at 5 m from the left excavation wall showed minimal changes, due to the combined effects of soil arching from lateral excavation and shield tunneling.

Stackelberg-Pareto Synthesis
Authors: Bruyère Véronique , Fievet Baptiste , Raskin Jean-François , Tamines Clément 
Published: March 2024

We study the framework of two-player Stackelberg games played on graphs in which Player 0 announces a strategy and Player 1 responds rationally with a strategy that is an optimal response. While it is usually assumed that Player 1 has a single objective, we consider here the new setting where he has several. In this context, after responding with his strategy, Player 1 gets a payoff in the form of a vector of Booleans corresponding to his satisfied objectives. Rationality of Player 1 is encoded by the fact that his response must produce a Pareto-optimal payoff given the strategy of Player 0. We study for several kinds of ω-regular objectives the Stackelberg-Pareto Synthesis problem which asks whether Player 0 can announce a strategy which satisfies his objective, whatever the rational response of Player 1. We show that this problem is fixed-parameter tractable for games in which objectives are all reachability, safety, Büchi, co-Büchi, Boolean Büchi, parity, Muller, Streett, or Rabin objectives. We also show that this problem is
NEXPTIME
-complete except for the cases of Büchi objectives for which it is
NP
-complete and co-Büchi objectives for which it is in
NEXPTIME
and
NP
-hard. The problem is already
NP
-complete in the simple case of reachability objectives and graphs that are trees.
Impact of Haptic Feedback in High Latency Teleoperation for Space Applications
Authors: Louca Joe , Eder Kerstin , Vrublevskis John , Tzemanaki Antonia 
Published: March 2024

Remote manipulation is a key enabler for upcoming space activities such as in-orbit servicing and manufacture (IOSM). However, due to the large distances involved, these systems encounter unavoidable signal delays, which can lead to poor performance and users adopting a disjointed, “move-and-wait” style of operation. We use a robot arm teleoperated with a haptic controller to test the impact of haptic feedback on delayed (up to 2.6 s: Earth-Moon communications) teleoperation performance for two example IOSM-style tasks.
This user study showed that increased latency reduced performance in all metrics recorded. In real-time teleoperation, haptic feedback showed improvements in success rate, accuracy, contact force, velocity, and trust, but, of these, only the improvements to contact forces and moving velocity were also seen at higher latencies. Accuracy and trust improvements were lost, or even reversed, at higher latencies. Results varied between the two tasks, highlighting the need for further research into the range of task types to be encountered in teleoperated space activities. This study also provides a framework by which to explore how features other than haptic feedback can impact both performance and trust in delayed teleoperation.

Published: March 2024

Background
Low‐ to middle‐income countries have limited access to thrombolytic therapy. To our knowledge, there is no validated tool available to objectively measure access to thrombolytic agents or barriers to routine clinical use.

Methods
We developed the 17‐item tissue plasminogen activator Spot Check tool to assess usage of acute stroke thrombolysis regarding local experience, financial constraints, and perceived barriers to care; evaluating the current state of clinical practices in the Mission Thrombectomy 2020+ Caribbean region. The survey was disseminated via an online link, and the information was collected and analyzed via SPSS.

Results

The tool was validated by 3 international experts with an Average Content Validity Index of 1 and a Universal Agreement Index of 1 across 3 domains: local experience, financial constraints, and barriers to usage. The participant survey response rate was 64%, representing 15 of 44 Mission Thrombectomy 2020+ Caribbean countries. There was limited or no access to thrombolytic agents in 40% of countries surveyed. Among cases treated with thrombolytics, 43% of patients had to pay out of pocket before treatment was provided, and l<10% were covered by insurance/government. Among 51% of countries surveyed, no acute thrombolytic treatment was provided for acute stroke in the 2021 calendar year. Only 1 center treated >100 cases per year. Most respondents (88%) agreed there were barriers to acute stroke thrombolysis in the region. The tissue plasminogen activator Spot Check tool was able to identify barriers impacting the number of cases per year, including absence of stroke protocol (
P
<0.001), upfront cost of alteplase (
P
= 0.003), restricted the amount of thrombolytics (
P
= 0.002), neurology intensive care unit or stroke unit monitoring of patients following thrombolytics (
P
= 0.017), cost of thrombolytic agents to the hospital (
P
= 0.042), and access to computed tomography scan (
P
= 0.03).

Conclusion
This survey brings light to an enormous disparity in the care of stroke patients around the world, specifically in the Mission Thrombectomy 2020+ Caribbean region.

Published: March 2024

Background
Artificial intelligence platforms, like Viz.ai with large vessel occlusion detection, have been used for disease detection and interprovider communication. Whether this software expedites patient transfer and evaluation for treatment needs further exploration.

Methods
A single‐center retrospective registry was queried for patients with acute large vessel occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid, middle cerebral M1 or M2 segments, or basilar artery treated in a comprehensive stroke network (8 spokes, 1 hub) for 6 months pre‐ and post‐implementation of the Viz large vessel occlusion platform (excluding a 1‐month “washout” period). Robust regression was used to summarize time from initial hospital contact to arterial puncture (primary outcome) between periods, with prespecified subgroup analyses, which were assessed using interaction terms.

Results

Of the 132 patients (n = 58 preintervention), there were nonsignificantly fewer patients undergoing endovascular therapy in the postintervention period (86.2% preintervention versus 73.0% postintervention;
P
= 0.07). Among patients who underwent endovascular therapy (n = 50 preintervention, n = 54 postintervention), there was a nonsignificant reduction in time from first contact to arterial puncture (median 155 minute preintervention versus 116 minute postintervention;
P
= 0.10); however, this became significant in adjusted robust regression accounting for stroke severity, age, Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Scale score, daytime versus nighttime and weekend versus weekday arrival, and use of perfusion imaging (β −20.9 [95% CI, −40.5 to −1.4)]. There was also a significant interaction observed for the association between spoke versus hub arrival and the Viz large vessel occlusion period, with shorter intervals observed for transferred patients (n = 32 preintervention with a median of 169 versus 142 minutes for n = 33 postintervention;
P
interaction
<0.01).

Conclusion
Implementation of the artificial intelligence platform was not associated with shorter intervals between initial hospital contact and neurointervention among all‐comers. A meaningful difference in time to treatment was observed among transferred patients. Larger data sets are needed to validate these observations.
Unlocking the Power of Listening

Published: March 2024

Abstract
In this paper we situate the act of listening in the context of children’s rights whilst highlighting the benefits of this practice on the psychological and neurological development of children. After unpacking the concept of listening and the role it plays in adult-child communication, we share the results of a scoping review where we examined neuroscientific studies pointing to the benefits of listening and what relevance such evidence has for children’s rights implementation. As such, this paper shows that when adults listen to children in the context of safe, nurturing, and empathic interactions, children draw tangible benefits to many areas of their development. We conclude proposing enhancing adults’ capacity for listening as a strategy to contribute to the fulfillment of the rights of children of all ages.
The Forcible Transfer of Children from Ukraine as Genocide
Authors: Moodrick-Even Khen Hilly 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
On 17 March 2023, Pre-Trial Chamber ii of the International Criminal Court (icc) issued secret warrants of arrest for President Putin and the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation, Ms. Lvova-Belova, for the commission of the war crime of forcible transfer of children. This article argues that there are “reasonable grounds to believe”, as the icc Statute requires for the arrest warrant stage, that both Putin and Lvova-Belova bear individual criminal responsibility for the forcible transfer of Ukrainian children as a crime of genocide; however, two types of considerations – general and particular – prevented the issuing of arrest warrants for genocide crimes.
In Section 2, after a short historical-legal review of the formulation of Article 2(e) of the Genocide Convention (gc), the article notes that despite the significant number of cases of children being transferred and removed from their families that have taken place since the gc was adopted, the provision has been dormant and considered anachronistic and was rarely applied by an international or a local court. Section 3 proceeds with a legal analysis of the elements of the crime of the forced transfer of children and the genocidal special intent. Section 4 parses the case study of the forcible transfer of children from Ukraine as a crime of genocide. Section 5 analyses the litigation of the crime of genocide in the icc through the only case of genocide the court has addressed so far: the arrest warrant for Sudan’s former president, Omar al-Bashir. Section 6 concludes with a forecast that despite the sufficient legal basis for issuing arrest warrants for Putin and Lvova-Belova, practical and political considerations would impede the icc from doing so.
The effect of fire on tree-ring width and tracheid dimensions of Pinus nigra
Authors: Keleş Seray Özden , Ünal Sabri 
Published: March 2024

Summary
Forest fires play a significant role in the growth and development of trees because they can damage the phloem and cambium. Fire injury induces the formation of fire scars that can cause xylem dysfunction. The study area is located in Taşköprü, Kastamonu (Western Black Sea of Turkiye), where two forest fires occurred in 1957 and 2020. In this study, the effect of the 1957 fire on the tree-ring widths and tracheid dimensions of Pinus nigra trees was investigated. We measured tree-ring widths and tracheid dimensions of fire-scarred (FS) and unscarred (UF) trees during four different periods: the pre-fire period (1947–1956), fire event year (1957), and post–fire periods (1958–1967 and 2011–2020). In this study, UF trees showed almost 2.5–3 times wider tree–ring widths (TRWs) than FS trees. FS and UF trees also showed great variation in tracheid dimensions in the four different periods; the average tracheid diameter (TD), lumen area (TLA), and wall thickness (TWT) values increased significantly in UF trees compared to FS trees during the fire event and post-fire periods. The average TD, TLA, and average tracheid lumen diameter (TLD) decreased during the fire and post-fire years in the FS trees. In this study, we suggest that fire injury significantly affects the tracheid dimensional traits of FS Pinus nigra trees. Our results also suggest that although Pinus nigra trees experienced serious fire damage, they continued to grow but with a decrease in tracheid size.
Cartographies of the Able School

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Using a cartographic approach, this article addresses ableism in the Chilean educational system. By analyzing audiovisual production, and specifically, the creation of storyboards, theoretical-methodological tools are provided for mapping desire flows and micro-movements produced in and about the public school toward and against the production of able educational institutions. Thus, the analysis stresses how human and nonhuman materialities mutually affect each other in an educational context. By focusing on the analysis of videos and storyboards, new discursive-material relationships appear in the school, which allow us to recognize and problematize ableist practices, and at the same time, open spaces for new creative approaches to challenge the able school norm.
Governance As a Delicate Balance: On the Concept of Luṭf in Islamic Mirrors for Princes
Authors: Zatari Fadi , Fili Omar 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This article is concerned with Islamic works on political ethics as a practical guide for competent governance. The article primarily focuses on the concept of luṭf (gentleness) in the works of al-ādāb al-sulṭāniyya (the ethics of government, i.e., Islamic mirrors for princes). The main argument is that Muslim writers of al-ādāb al-sulṭāniyya literature warned rulers against depending on coercive power as the basic mode of governance. Instead, the majority emphasized that the most practical way to govern a state was to practice governance based on a balance between rewards and punishments. Based on their advice, rulers should avoid cruelty in favor of an interdependent political order based on social cooperation between the different classes. The article first explains the concept of luṭf and the importance of avoiding cruelty. Second, the article relates how luṭf operates in the realm of public policy, ruler-people relations, and the responsibility of rulers. Finally, the article highlights how luṭf dictates a functional elite structure based on loyalty and mutual respect. The methodology of this article relies on primary sources, mostly analyzing the presence of luṭf as a concept and the details of governance surrounding the concept. The article seeks to show the intricacies of the state through understanding the concept of luṭf and its relation with practicing politics in a cohesive Muslim social structure.

Published: March 2024

Objective Over 8 million newborns worldwide have congenital anomalies; 3.2 million have resultant disabilities. Ethiopia has a high burden of neonatal congenital anomalies, but research on predictors is limited. This study investigated predictors of neonatal congenital anomalies in eastern Ethiopia. Methods A facility-based unmatched case–control study on 387 mother–infant pairs (129 cases, 258 controls) in public hospitals was conducted. Data were obtained using an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire and a medical record review. Binary logistic regression with adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) was used to identify predictors of congenital anomaly. Results Nervous system anomalies were most common 84 (65.1%), followed by gastrointestinal system anomalies 20 (15.5%). Maternal anemia (AOR: 4.37, 95% CI: 2.48–7.69), alcohol consumption during index pregnancy (AOR: 4.01, 95% CI: 1.88–8.54), khat chewing (AOR: 1.73; 95% CI: 1.04–2.85), rural residence (AOR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.04–2.85) and antenatal care attendance (AOR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.22–0.84) were significant predictors of congenital anomaly. Conclusion Several risk factors for congenital anomalies were identified. To reduce risk, antenatal care services should be improved and mothers encouraged to avoid harmful substances during pregnancy and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Intervention strategies are needed to target these risk factors.
