Abstract
Located in Langkawi archipelago, Andaman Sea, Pulau Tuba is one of the islands that is densely protected as a forest reserve. We investigated and documented the species composition of small mammals and birds at two different sites in the forest of UiTM Marine Research Excellence Centre (MAREC). Wire cage traps were used to capture non-volant small mammals while mist nets were used to capture bats and understorey birds. A total of 35 individuals were captured consisting of four species of small mammals and four species of birds. Among the most abundant species captured were Rattus tiomanicus, Leopoldamys sabanus and Cynopterus brachyotis. The calculated Shannon diversity index was 1.58 indicating a low diversity of small mammals and birds within the area. Our current study stipulated that few individuals were caught due to the rainy season affecting Pulau Tuba during the study period. Further surveys and studies should be conducted for a longer period in different seasons so that more species of fauna can be documented.

Abstract
This study delves into ion behavior at the substrate position within RF magnetron discharges utilizing an indium tin oxide (ITO) target. The positive ion energies exhibit an upward trajectory with increasing RF power, attributed to heightened plasma potential and initial emergent energy. Simultaneously, the positive ion flux escalates owing to amplified sputtering rates and electron density. Conversely, negative ions exhibit broad ion energy distribution functions (IEDFs) characterized by multiple peaks. These patterns are clarified by a combination of radiofrequency oscillation of cathode voltage and plasma potential, alongside ion transport time. This elucidation finds validation in a one-dimensional model encompassing the initial ion energy. At higher RF power, negative ions surpassing 100 eV escalate in both flux and energy, posing a potential risk of sputtering damages to ITO layers.

Abstract
Beautiful: The Story of Julian Eltinge, America’s Greatest Female Impersonator is the first in-depth, book-length biography of the vaudeville, musical comedy, and silent film performer Julian Eltinge (1881–1941). Eltinge, born William Dalton in Massachusetts, was widely considered the most popular and highest-paid cisgender male portrayer of women and was among the highest-paid, most widely followed actors of any kind at his peak. He portrayed Gibson Girl and Salome characters in vaudeville and starred in musical comedies like The Fascinating Widow (1911) and silent comedies such as The Countess Charming (1917). In 1912, his producer and mentor A. H. Woods named a new Broadway theatre for Eltinge on West 42nd Street. The years that marked Julian Eltinge’s greatest success, about 1900–1925, were a time when it was common for men to play women’s parts and wear female costuming in theatrical settings both professional and amateur. Men in mainstream culture faced little censure for crossdressing onstage or being enthusiastic fans of the art form. Julian Eltinge thus rode atop and co-created a wave of cultural fascination with men skillfully playing women’s parts. His story reveals much about attitudes toward gender, racialized masculinity, womanhood, and sexuality as they emerged and changed in the early twentieth century, setting the stage for ongoing cultural and political ferment. Julian Eltinge’s ability both to present seemingly “perfect” women onstage while posing himself as a rugged, conventionally masculine, “regular” man offstage—a consummate professional and expert technician rather than a fetishist or freakshow-type oddity—contributed as much to his success as did his impersonations.
“George M.” Is for Minstrel

Abstract
In 1908, Julian Eltinge joined Cohan & Harris’s Honey Boy Minstrels in a major production that toured the country. Produced by legendary showman George M. Cohan and starring George “Honey Boy” Evans, the show gave Julian Eltinge his first chance to engage in the complicated, infamous, and deeply American tradition of interpolating the supposedly authentic musical and vocal stylings of once-enslaved Black persons. Eltinge also took part in the huge “Salome” fad sweeping vaudeville, opera, and popular drama. Dozens of women who came up with renditions of Salome’s famed “Dance of the Seven Veils” drew moral criticism and outrage. But not Julian Eltinge, who was considered purer than vaudeville luminaries Eva Tanguay and Gertrude Hoffman. In perhaps the most ironic, self-consciously subversive episode of his career, Eltinge and Tanguay schemed to become engaged, he as a bride in white, she as a boyish gender-bender in a tux.
Fascinating Stardom

Abstract
Following his tour with Cohan & Harris’s Minstrels in 1908–1909, Julian Eltinge secured work opening for the popular Scottish comedian, singer, and raconteur Harry Lauder. The tour was demanding and Lauder, an uncloseted homophobe, grew miffed at Eltinge’s popularity. Perhaps the biggest development at this time, however, was producer Albert Herman Woods’s involvement in Julian Eltinge’s career. In 1910, the actor appeared in the Woods’s The Fascinating Widow, a “comedy with music,” written specially for Eltinge. The show made both Woods and Eltinge more popular, wealthy, and famous than they’d ever been. The Fascinating Widow cast Eltinge as a man forced by circumstances to take on a woman’s role in order to wrangle whatever contrivances the plot threw his way. In Woods, Eltinge had a father figure, mentor, and friend. The artist also formed a longtime partnership with his valet, dresser, and confidant, Ko Shima.
Impersonating in the USA, 1919

Abstract
When Julian Eltinge arrived on the Famous Players–Lasky lot, the movies had changed in just over two decades, from novelty to large-scale commercial enterprise. In films like The Countess Charming (1917), the actor played roles not unlike those he’d recently rendered onstage: a “regular” guy forced to impersonate women for variously absurd plot reasons. His films were well received and earned him high salaries and access to Hollywood’s elite inner sanctum. But it all got him no closer to playing non-drag or serious parts on the stage or screen. Meanwhile, he took a deep interest in the building and decoration of his Los Angeles mansion, the landmark, Spanish colonial-influenced Villa Capistrano. The environment for gender impersonation and same-sex eroticism had grown richer with the mobilization of millions of American servicemen during World War I who were in close quarters and who also enjoyed producing high-quality, all-male shows.
The Velvet Inquisition
Authors: Erdman Andrew L 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
With the Depression, the rise of the Soviet Union, and Nazification underway, reactionary panic amplified antigay, anti-drag fervor in the United States during the 1930s. Julian Eltinge had never been especially political, and when he was, he tilted rightward. But he was forced to oppose a crackdown on drag artists in Los Angeles. The stage had literally been set for public uproar over drag thanks in part to the trials of Mae West and her depictions of the backstage lives of transvestic entertainers. West, who had written the controversial plays Sex (1926) and The Drag (1927), was arrested for Pleasure Man in 1928. Eltinge, running out of money, launched an artists’ retreat and resort but it foundered amid a faltering economy. A single talkie, Maid to Order (1931), did nothing for him. After a residency at Billy Rose’s Diamond Horseshoe in New York, Eltinge passed away in March 1941.

Abstract

BACKGROUND
While renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors have a longstanding history in blood pressure control, their suitability as first-line in-patient treatment may be limited due to prolonged half-life and kidney failure concerns.

METHODS
Using a cohort design, we assessed the impact of RAS inhibitors, either alone or in combination with beta-blockers, on mortality, while exploring interactions, including those related to end-stage renal disease and serum creatinine levels. Eligible subjects were Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) patients aged 18 or older with specific subtypes who received in-patient antihypertensive treatment. The primary outcome was mortality rates. Statistical analyses included cross-sectional and longitudinal approaches, employing generalized linear models, G-computation, and discrete-time survival analysis over a 20-day follow-up period.

RESULTS
In our study of 3,058 AIS patients, those using RAS inhibitors had significantly lower in-hospital mortality (2.2%) compared to non-users (12.1%), resulting in a relative risk (RR) of 0.18 (95% CI: 0.12–0.26). Further analysis using G-computation revealed a marked reduction in mortality risk associated with RAS inhibitors (0.0281 vs. 0.0913, risk difference [RD] of 6.31% or 0.0631, 95% CI: 0.046–0.079). Subgroup analysis demonstrated notable benefits, with individuals having creatinine levels below and above 1.3 mg/dl exhibiting statistically significant RD (RD −0.0510 vs. −0.0895), and a significant difference in paired comparison (−0.0385 or 3.85%, CI 0.023–0.054). Additionally, longitudinal analysis confirmed a consistent daily reduction of 0.93% in mortality risk associated with the intake of RAS inhibitors.

CONCLUSIONS
RAS inhibitors are associated with a significant reduction in in-hospital mortality in AIS patients, suggesting potential clinical benefits in improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a rare autoimmune bullous disease characterized by blistering of the skin and mucosa owing to the presence of autoantibodies against the desmosome proteins desmoglein 3 and occasionally in conjunction with desmoglein 1. Fundamental research into the pathogenesis of PV has revolutionized its treatment and outcome with rituximab, a B-cell-depleting therapy. The critical contribution of B cells to the pathogenesis of pemphigus is well accepted. However, the exact pathomechanism, mechanisms of onset, disease course and relapse remain unclear. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the fundamental research progress that has unfolded over the past few centuries to give rise to current and emerging therapies. Furthermore, we summarize the multifaceted roles of B cells in PV, including their development, maturation and antibody activity. Finally, we explored how these various aspects of B-cell function contribute to disease pathogenesis and pave the way for innovative therapeutic interventions.

Abstract

Aims
We evaluated the incidence and relative risk of major post-acute cardiovascular consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a large real-world population from a primary care database in a region at moderate cardiovascular risk followed up in the period 2020–22.

Methods and results
This is a retrospective cohort analysis using data from a cooperative of general practitioners in Italy. Individuals aged &gt;18 affected by COVID-19 starting from January 2020 have been followed up for 3 years. Anonymized data from 228 266 patients in the period 2020–22 were considered for statistical analysis and included 31 764 subjects with a diagnosis of COVID-19. An equal group of subjects recorded in the same database in the period 2017–19 was used as propensity score-matched comparison as an unquestionable COVID-19-free population. Out of the 228 266 individuals included in the COMEGEN database during 2020–22, 31 764 (13.9%) were ascertained positive with SARS-CoV-2 infection by a molecular test reported to general practitioners. The proportion of individuals with a new diagnosis of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events was higher in the 2020–22 COVID-19 group than in the 2017–19 COMEGEN propensity score-matched comparator, with an odds ratio of 1.73 (95% confidence interval: 1.53–1.94; P &lt; 0.001). All major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events considered showed a significantly higher risk in COVID-19 individuals. Incidence calculated for each 6-month period after the diagnosis of COVID-19 in our population was the highest in the first year (1.39% and 1.45%, respectively), although it remained significantly higher than in the COVID-19-free patients throughout the 3 years.

Conclusion
The increase of cardiovascular risk associated with COVID-19 might be extended for years and not limited to the acute phase of the infection. This should promote the planning of longer follow-up for COVID-19 patients to prevent and promptly manage the potential occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
Fighting over Churches: Augsburg and Multiconfessional Cities in the Thirty Years War
Authors: Gray Emily Fisher 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The religious overtones of the Thirty Years War (1618–1648) resonated in particular in multiconfessional towns and cities like Augsburg. Not only were churches destroyed, desecrated or reassigned in deliberate acts of war, but the military supremacy of one side or the other could mean a permanent end to the ability of a portion of the city’s inhabitants to practise their religion. In 1648 the Peace of Westphalia recognized the existence of multiple confessions and clarified ownership of church properties, allowing minority confessions to rebuild their churches and schools. In some multiconfessional towns such as Heidelberg and Hanau, Lutheran congregations took advantage of the provisions of the peace to build elaborate churches where none had existed before. Lingering fear of confessional annihilation drove postwar fundraising efforts for the building or rebuilding of churches. The memory of the trauma of war was expressed in confessionally specific ways until the significance of religious coexistence in German history was reassessed after the Second World War.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The stress sensitivity of fractures has a significant impact on the production characteristics of tight sandstone gas reservoirs. However, there has been a lack of attention to and research on the differences between different types of fracture and their stress sensitivity. Based on the core samples of the Keshen gas reservoir in Xinjiang, China, this paper conducts a comprehensive comparison of the flow capacity, stress sensitivity, and the production characteristics of the structural fracture, diagenetic fracture, and artificial fracture. The findings reveal that the flow capacity of a single structural fracture is higher than that of a diagenetic fracture. Additionally, both structural and diagenetic fractures contribute to increasing the flow capacity of the porous system by 63 and 88%, respectively. The stress sensitivity of fractures varies from strong to weak, structural fractures exhibit a higher sensitivity compared to diagenetic fractures, and artificial fractures demonstrate the weakest stress sensitivity. Based on the fitting formulas of stress-sensitivity curves for different fractures, a new seepage model considering different stress sensitivities was established and numerical simulations were conducted. The numerical simulation results indicate that the gas well with a diagenetic-artificial fracture network yields a higher production, the 10-year production is 35.01% higher than that with a structural-artificial fracture network. This study is of great significance for understanding the production differences of fractured tight sandstone gas reservoirs and provides valuable insights for selecting optimal well locations.
FCA-based reasoning for privacy

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Notwithstanding the potential danger to security and privacy, sharing and publishing data has become usual in Data Science. To preserve privacy, de-identification methodologies guided by risk estimation have been designed. Two issues associated with classical risk metrics are, on the one hand, the adequacy of the metric and, on the other hand, its static nature. In this paper, we present metrics for estimating risk based on the emerging semantics provided by Formal Concept Analysis. The metrics are designed to estimate the a priori risk of compromised data deletion. Furthermore, by applying specialized variable forgetting methods for association rules, it is shown how to reflect the effect of deleting attributes belonging to potentially dangerous quasi-identifier sets. Additionally, a study of the role of the risk metric in confidence-based reasoning for re-identification is presented.
A Comprehensive Study of Meningioma Biomineralization: Morphological, Crystallographic, and Immunohistochemical Aspects

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Biomineralization of brain tissues occurs both in normal and pathological conditions. Dura mater biomineralization is widespread and occurs in 1–72% of cases, depending on the patient's age and research method. The amount of biomineral deposits under the conditions of tumor growth in the meninges only increases, reaching 100% in the case of psammomatous meningiomas. Since calcifications are often found in the meninges, the problem of differential diagnosis with calcified meningiomas arises. A total of 30 samples of meningiomas with signs of biomineralization—dense structure, characteristic crunch, psammoma bodies (group I) and 30 samples of meningiomas without any signs of biomineralization were examined as controls (group II). To detect pathological biomineralization, the meningioma tissue was studied using the methods of macroscopic description, histology, histochemistry, and immunohistochemistry, scanning electron microscopy with microanalysis, and transmission electron microscopy. A significantly higher level of caspase3 and features of the expression of osteoblastic markers (a lower level of OPG expression and a higher level of the presence of RANKL in group I, the absence of fluctuations in the expression of SPARC) may indicate a dystrophic type of development of biomineral deposits in meningiomas.
Hyperbolic conduction: a fast, physical conduction model implemented in smoothed particle hydrodynamics
Authors: Owens N A , Wadsley J 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
We present the first implementation of hyperbolic thermal conduction in smoothed particle hydrodynamics. Hyperbolic conduction is a physically motivated alternative to traditional, parabolic conduction. It incorporates a relaxation time, which ensures that heat propagates no faster than a physical signal speed. This allows for larger, Courant-like, time-steps for explicit schemes. Numerical solutions of the hyperbolic conduction equations require added dissipation to remain stable at discontinuities and we present a novel scheme for this. Test cases include a simple step, the Sod Shock Tube, the Sedov–Taylor blast, and a super bubble. We demonstrate how longer relaxation times limit conduction, recovering the purely hydrodynamical results, while short relaxation times converge on the parabolic conduction result. We demonstrate that our scheme is stable with explicit Courant-like time-steps and can be orders of magnitude faster than explicit parabolic conduction, depending on the application.
Evolution of cold streams in hot gaseous haloes

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT
In the prevailing model of galaxy formation and evolution, the process of gas accretion on to central galaxies undergoes a transition from cold-dominated to hot-dominated modes. This shift occurs when the mass of the parent dark matter haloes exceeds a critical threshold known as Mshock. Moreover, cold gas usually flows on to central galaxies through filamentary structures, currently referred to as cold streams. However, the evolution of cold streams in haloes with masses around Mshock, particularly how they are disrupted, remains unclear. To address this issue, we conduct a set of idealized hydrodynamic simulations. Our simulations show that (1) for a gas metallicity $Z=0.001{\!-\!}0.1\, \mathrm{Z}_{\odot }$, cold stream with an inflow rate $\sim 3\, {\rm {M}_{\odot }}\, \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$ per each can persist and effectively transport cold and cool gas to the central region (&lt;0.2 virial radius) in haloes with mass $10^{12}\, {\rm {M}_{\odot }}$, but is disrupted at a radius around 0.2 virial radius due to compression heating for haloes with mass $3 \times 10^{12}\, {\rm {M}_{\odot }}$. (2) At z ∼ 2, the maximum halo mass that capable of hosting and sustaining cold streams Mstream is between 1 × 1012 M⊙ and $1.5\times 10^{12}\,\rm {{M}_{\odot }}$ for gas metallicity ${\it Z}=0.001\, \mathrm{Z}_{\odot }$, while for a higher gas metallicity ${\it Z}=0.1\, \mathrm{Z}_{\odot }$, this value increases to $\sim 1.5\times 10^{12}\,\rm {{M}_{\odot }}$. (3) The evolution and ultimate fate of cold streams are determined primarily by the rivalry between radiative cooling and compression. Stronger heating due to compression in haloes more massive than Mstream can surpass cooling and heat the gas in cold streams to the hot ($\ge 10^6\,$ K) phase.
