Abstract
Background
Although complete mesocolic excision (CME) is supposed to be associated with a higher lymph node (LN) yield, decreased local recurrence, and survival improvement, its implementation currently is debated because the evidence level of these data is rather low and still not supported by randomized controlled trials.

Method
This is a multicenter, randomized, superiority trial (NCT04871399). The 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) was the primary end point of the study. The secondary end points were safety (duration of operation, perioperative complications, hospital length of stay), oncologic outcomes (number of LNs retrieved, 3- and 5-year overall survival, 5-year DFS), and surgery quality (specimen length, area and integrity rate of mesentery, length of ileocolic and middle-colic vessels). The trial design required the LN yield to be higher in the CME group at interim analysis.

Results
Interim data analysis is presented in this report. The study enrolled 258 patients in nine referral centers. The number of LNs retrieved was significantly higher after CME (25 vs. 20; p = 0.012). No differences were observed with respect to intra- or post-operative complications, postoperative mortality, or duration of surgery. The hospital stay was even shorter after CME (p = 0.039). Quality of surgery indicators were higher in the CME arm of the study. Survival data still were not available.

Conclusions
Interim data show that CME for right colon cancer in referral centers is safe and feasible and does not increase perioperative complications. The study documented with evidence that quality of surgery and LN yield are higher after CME, and this is essential for continuation of patient recruitment and implementation of an optimal comparison.
Trial registration The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with the code NCT04871399 and with the acronym CoME-In trial.
Personal Taxes and Firm Skill Hiring: Evidence from 27 Million Job Postings
Authors: Campello Murillo , Gao Janet , Xu Qiping 
Published: December 2023

Using big data on U.S. job postings, we show that firms increase skill requirements when hiring workers in states that cut personal income taxes. We trace a significant driver of this effect to companies’ reallocation of skilled job postings across states based on tax differentials. The tax-induced upskilling is observed within occupations and is more pronounced for high-skill positions within firms. It is accompanied and amplified by concurrent increases in information technology expenditures at local-level establishments. In characterizing the mechanism at play, we show that job upskilling is triggered by tax changes affecting middle- and upper middle-class workers. It is pronounced for high-growth firms, for firms in tradable industries, and in urban areas, but it is mitigated among profitable firms. A narrative-based analysis helps us establish causal inferences. This paper was accepted by Victoria Ivashina, finance.

Published: December 2023

A pulse laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm and a pulse width of 1 µs was used to experiment on the coating of a 2024 aluminum alloy surface. The removal performance of the pulse laser cleaning coating was explored by a single factor analysis and orthogonally conditions, and the effects of the laser power, scanning speed, and pulse frequency on the quality of laser coating removal were summarized. The mechanisms of pulse laser cleaning the coating were studied. The results show that the three parameters of the laser power, scanning speed, and pulse frequency have different effects on the quality of laser coating removal. Among them, with the increase of the scanning speed and pulse frequency, the quality of laser cleaning first increases and then decreases, respectively. With the increase in laser power, the quality of laser cleaning increases. A good laser cleaning quality can be achieved at the laser power of 16.5 W, a scanning speed of 600 mm/s, and a pulse frequency of 30 kHz. The laser cleaning coating involves a variety of mechanisms such as combustion, explosion, gasification, thermal vibration stripping, and laser plasma impact. The result can provide practical references for a better searching of the paint removal.
Mask correction method for surface plasmon lithography
Authors: Ma Le , Zhang Libin , He Jianfang , Ding Huwen , Wei Yayi 
Published: December 2023

Surface plasmon lithography (SPL) has emerged as an innovative approach to nano-fabrication, offering an alternative to traditional patterning methods. To enhance its pattern fidelity in manufacturing, it is essential to incorporate mask correction to reduce critical dimension (CD) errors between the intended target features and the photoresist image. Traditionally, the aerial image of SPL has been modeled and simulated using methods such as finite difference time domain (FDTD) or rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA). These models have allowed us to obtain aerial images of the mask patterns. However, relying solely on the aerial image proves insufficient for meeting the rigorous manufacturing standards for mask correction. In our research, we propose a comprehensive model that combines the optical model, employing the FDTD method, and the resist model, tailored to the specific surface plasmon lithography process. Test patterns were meticulously designed with a target CD of 130 nm, and the model was applied to simulate these test patterns, producing the after-development image (ADI) under predefined process conditions. Following a thorough analysis and data processing of the test patterns and ADI data, we established rule tables for the correction of both 1D line patterns and line end patterns. The simulation results unequivocally demonstrate the improved CD error performance achieved by the post-corrected patterns.
Differences between the geometric phase and propagation phase: clarifying the boundedness problem
Authors: Garza-Soto Luis , Hagen Nathan , Lopez-Mago Dorilian , Otani Yukitoshi 
Published: December 2023

We show white light interferometer experiments that clearly demonstrate the basic differences between geometric and propagation phases. These experimental results also suggest a way to answer the “boundedness problem” in geometric phase—whether geometric phase is unbounded (i.e., can take on any values without limit) or bounded (i.e., limited to values between −π and +π). We show why the answer to this question is not as easy as it seems, from both a theoretical and an experimental perspective, and explain how the answer depends on one’s choice of phase convention. We also hope that the videos provided will be pedagogically useful for explaining geometric phase.
Approximation method for fast calculation of transmission in multi-mode waveguides
Authors: Paszkiewicz Maria , Sukhova Mariia , Dörfler Willy , Rockstuhl Carsten 
Published: December 2023

Freeform dielectric waveguides connect optical chips made of different materials in fully integrated photonic devices. With a spatial extent in the order of 100 µm, they constitute a computational challenge and make Maxwell full-wave solvers unhandy for the accelerated design. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to have tools that permit the fast prediction of waveguide loss to enable the rapid optimization of waveguide trajectories. Previously developed methods relied on the assumption that only a single mode propagates in the waveguide. However, the propagation of higher-order modes is not just unavoidable due to the geometry of the waveguides, but also, sometimes, beneficial as it increases the number of channels to transmit information. In this contribution, we present an approximate method for the fast calculation of transmission that accommodates the presence of higher-order waveguide modes, and assess its liability by describing light propagation through selected devices.

Published: December 2023

Introduction
Access to healthcare for persons with disabilities (PWDs) is an important but often ignored issue for achieving universal health coverage. The current study aimed to investigate PWDs’ access to healthcare in the rural areas in north of Iran.

Methods
Following a descriptive-analytical design, 471 persons with disabilities (PWDs) living in the Nor city, Mazandaran province, were selected using quota sampling. Data were collected by a valid and reliable questionnaire that contained dimensions of time, geography, physical, and acceptability using face-to-face interviews. The findings are provided by central and dispersion indicators and analyses are performed with linear Regression using SPSS version 17.

Results
PWDs had moderate access to healthcare services in all dimensions. The regression models for access to health services in all four dimensions were significant (p<0.05). The results showed that in the geographical dimension, the variables of marital status, income, receipt of financial aid, supplementary insurance, and type of disability; in the physical dimension, the variables of income, responsibility for taking care of the family, supplementary insurance, and type of disability; in the time dimension, supplementary insurance, home area, and type of disability; and in the aspect of service acceptability, only the variables of type of disability and internet access had a significant effect (p<0.05).

Conclusion
A small percentage of PWDs had high access to health services. Hence, improving their access to healthcare services, particularly in rural and less developed areas, and developing appropriate policies should be the focus of Iranian policy-makers.

Role of menopausal hormone therapy in the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis
Authors: Na Zhao , Wei Wei , Xu Yingfang , Li Dong , Yin Beili , Gu Weiqun 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The use of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) has declined due to concerns about its potential side effects. However, its pivotal role in managing postmenopausal osteoporosis is gaining increased recognition. In this article, we explore how MHT assists postmenopausal women in maintaining bone health and preventing fractures. Recent research indicates that MHT significantly reduces the risk of fractures in women. This benefit is evident regardless of a woman’s bone mineral density or their use of progestogens. However, there is limited evidence suggesting that the skeletal benefits continue once the treatment is discontinued. Possible complications of MHT include heart attacks, clots, strokes, dementia, and breast cancer. The most suitable candidates for MHT are women who have recently entered menopause, are experiencing menopausal symptoms, and are below 60 years of age with a minimal baseline risk of adverse events. The treatment is available to those who meet these criteria. For women undergoing premature menopause, MHT can be considered as a means to protect bone health, especially if initiated before menopause or if accelerated bone loss is documented soon after menopause. Such decisions should be made after evaluating individual risk factors and benefits.
Managing the change of prescriptivism in Hungary: adopting the models of change management to L1 education
Authors: Parapatics Andrea 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The paper studies the possible role of change management, a well-known term and often used action in the public administration and corporate sector, in supporting the institutional shaping of positive language attitudes towards regional dialects. The theoretical study is based on the presupposition that the application of the sociolinguistic viewpoint in L1 education in Hungary can be understood as a process of change in organizational and corporate culture. The study aims to point out how the lessons of change management can help move the standard-based viewpoint and subtractive practice in mother tongue education more effectively towards a sociolinguistic and additive approach. Besides these viewpoints, the existing regulations and teaching practices regarding language variability in present-day Hungary are also summarized in the paper briefly. The second part presents the change management theory and its two famous models, and discusses what can be learned from them concerning the field of (educational) linguistics.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
In recent years, model predictive control (MPC) has gained significant traction within the realm of LC-filtered voltage source inverters (VSIs). In order to reduce the number of current sensors in conventional MPC, this paper proposes a MPC scheme without current sensors for LC-filtered VSIs. Firstly, this paper analyzes the mathematical model of LC-filtered VSIs and specifies the predictive control strategy based on capacitive current. On the basis of considering only the fundamental wave components of the capacitance current, this paper establishes a new sliding mode observer to observe the capacitance current. In order to ensure the stability of the system, the stability of the proposed sliding mode observer is analyzed using Lyapunov stability criterion, and the influence of the sliding mode gain on the current and voltage observations is also analyzed according to the closed-loop transfer function, giving the design method of the sliding mode gain. In addition, the parameter sensitivities of the newly proposed method and the conventional method are analyzed in detail in this paper. The results show that the method proposed in this paper does not depend on the filter inductance and the observed capacitance current have smaller errors and stronger parameter robustness than the conventional method. The comparative experimental study verifies the feasibility of the control scheme proposed in this paper.

Performance analysis and comparison of NRZ-DQPSK optical wireless system with different filters under different weather conditions
Authors: Mehra Monika , Saini Satish , Kumar Ravi 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The extensive use of wireless communication in recent years is due to the requirement of huge data transfer. Nowadays the optical wireless communication (OWC) in which the light is used for wireless connectivity is extensively used. Huge spectral resource, low bandwidth requirements and high speed of operation are the main asset of OWC. The major challenge of OWC system is the effect of different weather conditions as the air is used as a transmission medium in OWC. The variations in different weather conditions have a significant impact on the effectiveness of OWC system as they degrade the performance of OWC system. This paper compares the performance of NRZ-DQPSK OWC system with different filters (Bessel filer, Gaussian Filter and Trapezoidal filter) and the effect of different weather conditions (rain, haze and clear weather) on NRZ-DQPSK system is analyzed over different transmission distances. The comparison is done in terms of quality factor or Q-factor.
A Tumblr thematic analysis of perinatal health: Where users go to seek support
Authors: Talbot Joey , Charron Valérie , Konkle Anne TM 
Published: December 2023

AbstractWith the research sex gap impacting available data on women’s health and the growing popularity of social media, it is not rare that individuals will seek health-related information on such platforms. Understanding how women use social media for perinatal-specific issues is crucial to gain knowledge on specific needs and gaps. The Tumblr platform is an excellent candidate to further understand the representation and discourse regarding perinatal health on social media. The objective was to identify specific themes to assess the present discourse pertaining to perinatal health. Posts were collected using Tumblr’s official API client over a 4-day period, from August 18 to 21, 2023, inclusively. A sentiment analysis was performed using the Valence Aware Dictionary and sEntiment Reasoner sentiment analysis toolkit and a deductive thematic analysis. In total, 235 posts were analyzed, and 11 individual categories were identified and divided into two main concepts; Women’s Health (Endometriosis; Postpartum Depression, Menopause, Miscarriage, Other Health Problems, Political Discourse) and Pregnancy/Childbirth (Maternal Mortality, Personal Stories, Pregnancy Symptoms, and Fitness/diet/weight). The last category was classified as Misinformation/Advertisement. Findings revealed that users used the Tumblr platform to share personal experiences regarding pregnancy, seek support from others, raise awareness, and educate on women’s health topics. Misinformation represented only 3% of the total sample. The present study demonstrates the feasibility of using in-depth data from Tumblr posts to inform us regarding current issues and topics specific to perinatal and women’s health. More research studies are needed to better understand the impact of social support and misinformation on perinatal health.
La rhétorique au cœur du romantisme: Méditations poétiques d’Alphonse de Lamartine
Authors: Sukiennicka Marta 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Alphonse de Lamartine’s Méditations poétiques (1820) is considered the first manifesto of French Romanticism, a moment of „rupture“ and „unprecedented renewal of the sensibility of an era“ (Aurélie Loiseleur). While not denying the inventiveness of the author who claimed to have given his muse „not a conventional seven-stringed lyre, but the very fibres of the human heart“, the article aims to reconsider the role of rhetoric in Lamartine’s Méditations. Understood as a method of invention and arrangement of poetic material, rhetoric informs many of the poems in the volume, particularly those in which the lyrical subject resorts to the deliberative topics for apologetic purposes. Furthermore, the article argues that Lamartine’s rhetoric owes much to that of the Jesuits from whom the poet received his education.
Insincerity in lawyers’ questioning strategies in Malawian criminal courtroom discourse
Authors: Kondowe Wellman 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper introduces a new perspective on analysing courtroom insincerity by focusing on questions asked by lawyers in the Malawi criminal justice system. The study aimed at examining the linguistic tools of tracing insincerity in lawyers’ questions; the varying degrees of insincerity in defence and prosecution lawyers and their rationale for making such choices. The study argues that courtroom setting is a war zone where different parties have divergent goals. Such encounters are much likely to yield higher chances of insincerity, which can be manifested in the questions lawyers ask. The analysis is based on data from four criminal cases, which were collected from the High Court of Malawi. My framework of analysing insincerity in questions examines the prescribed degrees of control that questions exert on the witnesses in relation to their productiveness. The findings indicate that, when examining witnesses, prosecutors exercise less insincerity while defence lawyers opt for questions with high insincerity. These imbalances in language use are enshrined in and supported by law in its statutes. The findings of this study have jurisprudential implications, especially in Africa which is internationally less represented in the studies of language and law.
