Published: January 2024

Scalable classical controllers are a key component of future fault-tolerant quantum computers. Neutral atom quantum computers leverage commercially available optoelectronic devices for generating large-scale tweezer arrays and performing parallel readout, but implementing massively parallel, locally addressed gate operations is an open challenge. In this work, we demonstrate an optical modulator system based on off-the-shelf components, which can generate a two-dimensional array of over 10,000 focused spots with uniform frequency and amplitude, and switching them on and off individually in arbitrary configurations at rates of up to 43 kHz. Through careful control of aberrations, the modulator achieves an extinction ratio of 46 dB, and nearest-neighbor crosstalk of −44dB with a beam spacing of 4.6 waists. The underlying components can operate at wavelengths from the UV to the NIR, and sustain high laser intensities. This approach is suitable for local addressing of gates with low cross-talk error rates in any optically addressed qubit platform, including neutral atoms, trapped ions, or solid-state atomic defects.

Antecedentes: La diabetes neonatal se define como hiperglicemia persistente que ocurre con mayor frecuencia antes de los seis meses de edad y su incidencia es de 1 caso por cada 90 000 a 160 000 nacimientos. La diabetes neonatal se asocia a variantes patogénicas en un único gen, causando hiperglicemia, restricción del crecimiento intrauterino, bajo peso al nacer, alteraciones en el neurodesarrollo y se clasifica en transitoria, permanente o sindrómica. Las insulinas son el tratamiento inicial; sin embargo, las sulfonilureas han demostrado ser eficaces para el control de la hiperglicemia ante etiología originada en los genes KCNJ11 y ABCC8. Las sulfonilureas mejoran la capacidad motora y el neurodesarrollo, principalmente si la enfermedad se relaciona con KCNJ11. Reporte de caso: Neonato de sexo masculino con diagnóstico de DN por hiperglicemia persistente a las tres semanas del nacimiento, en el que se confirmó la mutación del gen ABCC8. Se encuentra en seguimiento por un grupo multidisciplinar. El tratamiento se caracterizó por el uso de insulina glulisina, insulina glargina y la transición al manejo con sulfonilurea. Se ha logrado el control de la glicemia, sin compromiso en el neurodesarrollo y con un crecimiento satisfactorio en el seguimiento. Conclusiones: El presente reporte de caso describe el diagnóstico clínico y genético de la DN por mutación del gen ABCC8, donde se puede observar características clínicas propias de la enfermedad como restricción del crecimiento intrauterino, bajo peso al nacer, hiperglicemia que requiere tratamiento con insulinas, la confirmación diagnostica por medio de genética médica y el tratamiento acorde con la transición del uso de insulinas al manejo con sulfonilurea.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) often presents with debilitating dysphagia, significantly affecting quality of life. In metastatic disease, standard therapy with radiation and chemotherapy is associated with high morbidity. Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy offers a minimally invasive intervention for palliation in metastatic esophageal cancers. Although beneficial outcomes have been reported in esophageal adenocarcinoma, few studies have assessed its safety and efficacy as palliation treatment in metastatic ESCC. We present a case using endoscopic liquid nitrogen cryoablation alone as palliative therapy in a patient with obstructive metastatic ESCC resulting in persistent patent esophageal lumen 2 years after initiation of cryotherapy.

Published: January 2024

AbstractSarcopenia is a systemic skeletal muscle disease characterized by a decline in skeletal muscle mass and function. Originally defined as an age‐associated condition, sarcopenia presently also encompasses muscular atrophy due to various pathological factors, such as intensive care unit‐acquired weakness, inactivity, and malnutrition. The exact pathogenesis of sarcopenia is still unknown; herein, we review the pathological roles of the neuromuscular junction and mitochondria in this condition. Sarcopenia is caused by complex and interdependent pathophysiological mechanisms, including aging, neuromuscular junction impairment, mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, lipotoxicity, endocrine factors, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Among these, neuromuscular junction instability and mitochondrial dysfunction are particularly significant. Dysfunction in neuromuscular junction can lead to muscle weakness or paralysis. Mitochondria, which are plentiful in neurons and muscle fibers, play an important role in neuromuscular junction transmission. Therefore, impairments in both mitochondria and neuromuscular junction may be one of the key pathophysiological mechanisms leading to sarcopenia. Moreover, this article explores the structural and functional alterations in the neuromuscular junction and mitochondria in sarcopenia, suggesting that a deeper understanding of these changes could provide valuable insights for the prevention or treatment of sarcopenia.

Abstract
Knowledge of reproduction in wild Andean bears (Tremarctos ornatus) is scarce. Here we provide novel information about litter size, birth timings, courtship and multi-generational groups in a population in the Chingaza massif in Colombia. Pregnant females, mothers with cubs, estimated birth times, and litter size were registered through camera trapping of a population at the Chingaza massif (Colombia) between 2011 and 2016. A total of 34 independent records of reproductive female bears were obtained. Twenty-eight (28) different reproductive females were recognized by external key features. Six different females were recorded only pregnant, two others were recorded pregnant and later with cubs, and 20 others were recorded only with cubs. In total, 29 cubs were recorded in 22 litters, with a mean litter size of 1.27 (SD = 0.45): 16 litters with one cub, 5 with 2 cubs, and 1 with 2 cubs + a big cub from a previous litter (>1 year). The highest records of mothers with little cubs were obtained for the low rain season in December, January, and February, full of dry-season-fruiting Ericaceae shrubs. Likewise, the highest estimated births were obtained during the rainy time in June. Multi-generational groups and the courtship behaviors are reported for the first time in Colombia.
Morphological symmetry of Rhipidomys mastacalis (Mammalia, Rodentia, Cricetidae) in fragmented habitats of the Atlantic Forest in Northeastern Brazil: a study on the influence of the environment on an endemic species

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest has undergone significant transformation, resulting in habitat loss and the endangerment of many species of mammals and other vertebrates. In this study, the presence of fluctuating asymmetry of four anatomical structures of the arboreal rodent Rhipidomys mastacalis was evaluated using geometric morphometrics. The study focused on adult specimens collected in a mosaic of vegetation composed of forested vegetation, occupancy mosaics in forested areas, and cocoa plantations. The results showed significant values of fluctuating asymmetries in all structures and in all areas. The skulls and scapulae showed the highest values of asymmetry in forested vegetation and cocoa plantations, while the mandibles showed the greatest values in forested vegetation, and the pelvis in occupancy mosaics and cocoa plantations. These findings are consistent with previous studies that have evaluated developmental stability in mammals and suggest that high asymmetry values indicate an effect on different phases of ontogeny, which can harm the survival of a species in future generations. Overall, this study provides important insights into the impacts of habitat fragmentation on Rhipidomys mastacalis and highlights the need for conservation efforts to preserve the integrity of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and its diverse range of wildlife.
Manipulating chiral photon generation from plasmonic nanocavity-emitter hybrid systems: from weak to strong coupling
Authors: Yang Jian , Hu Huatian , Zhang Qingfeng , Zu Shuai , Chen Wen , Xu Hongxing 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
By confining light into a deep subwavelength scale to match the characteristic dimension of quantum emitters, plasmonic nanocavities can effectively imprint the light emission with unique properties in terms of intensity, directionality, as well as polarization. In this vein, achiral quantum emitters can generate chiral photons through coupling with plasmonic nanocavities with either intrinsic or extrinsic chirality. As an important metric for the chiral-photon purity, the degree of circular polarization (DCP) is usually tuned by various scattered factors such as the nanocavity design, the emitter type, and the coupling strategy. The physical mechanisms of the chiral photon generation, especially when plasmons and emitters step into the strong coupling regime, are less explored. In this paper, we extended the coupled-oscillator and Jaynes–Cummings models to their chiral fashion to account for the above factors within a single theoretical framework and investigated the chiroptical properties of a plasmonic nanocavity-emitter hybrid system from weak to strong coupling. It was demonstrated that both the circular differential scattering and prominent scattering DCP rely on the intrinsic chirality generated by breaking the mirror symmetry with the emitter, and is thereby tunable by the coupling strength. However, the luminescence DCP (as high as 87 %) is closely related to the extrinsic chirality of the bare nanocavity and independent of the coupling strength. The results thus reveal two different physical mechanisms of generating chiral photons in scattering and luminescence. Our findings provide a theoretical guideline for designing chiral photon devices and contribute to the understanding of chiral plasmon-emitter interaction.
Inside or outside the house? On the spatial organisation of plant-related activities at the Late Bronze Age settlement of Dobbin 27, northern Germany

Published: January 2024

Abstract
In northern Germany, crop diversity was much greater in the Late Bronze Age than in previous periods. To trace this development at a local scale, we conducted an archaeobotanical case study at the site of Dobbin 27, a rural settlement in north-eastern Germany dating to the Late Bronze Age. Charred seeds and fruits were recovered and the spatial distribution of these remains was analysed in order to understand the spatial organisation of plant-related activities at the site, principally plant processing. We discovered that the inhabitants processed cereals outside the house, in open areas of the settlement. Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) were the most common finds in the archaeobotanical samples; small proportions of pulses and wild fruits and nuts were also found. This shows that a wide range of plants was used by the prehistoric community at Dobbin 27. A regional comparison of the plant macro-remains record from Dobbin 27 with that from contemporary sites reveals both differences and similarities in crop choices and other aspects of the plant economy.

Medical Opisthographs
Authors: Reggiani Nicola 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The chapter discusses the cases of opisthographic papyri dealing with a medical content. According to Manfredo Manfredi’s definition of opisthograph as a papyrus roll reused to transcribe an extensive text, the focus will be on scrolls repurposed on their back side to copy Greek medical treatises, handbooks or receptaria. The analysis will consider the material features of such copies – the nature and quality of the original text, the medical genre, palaeography – in order to draw some preliminary conclusions about the relationship between reuse and genre in a highly specialized technical category of papyrus texts.
Critical and Utilitarian Sigla in the

Adespota Greek Hexameter Texts on Papyri
Authors: Ricciardetto Antonio 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Within the framework of the preparation of the first edition of P.Fouad inv. 220 (unknown provenance, 3rd c. AD), an anonymous Greek hexametric poetry fragment accompanied by a critical siglum, and following my previous work on scribal practices in Greek literary papyri, especially on the graphic signs that accompany these texts, this paper lists all the critical and utilitarian signs attested in the 247 Greek surviving hexametric papyri of the Ptolemaic, Roman and Byzantine periods. These sigla are either directly associated with editorial work or were added by the scribe or corrector to provide the reader with practical information about the text. In doing so, the paper aims to better understand how the ancients conceived the writing of poetic works, and how they read, cited, and used them.
An Oxyrhynchite Education: How to Become an Apionic Scribe
Authors: Azzarello Giuseppina 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article analyzes a group of Byzantine papyri originating from the Oxyrhynchite and containing scribal exercises, which are connected to the famous domus gloriosa of the Apiones. Most of them are written on reused documents belonging to the Apionic dossier, and consist of documentary formulas or short passages copied out of other texts related to the management of the oikos. In a few cases, exercises seem to consist of copies of whole texts such as lists or accounts, so that they can be easily mistaken for real documents. Based on all these texts and on other papyrological evidence related to this issue, it is possible to argue that the oikos of the Apiones was involved in the management of a professional school located in the city of Oxyrhynchus and aiming at the education of future clerks.

Abstract
Beaumont, P, Garrett, J, and van den Hoek, D. How do intracompetition strategies differ between para powerlifting podium and nonpodium athletes? A retrospective, cross-sectional analysis. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000–000, 2023—This study aimed to investigate the intracompetition strategies used by para powerlifters and quantify and report them for application by coaches and athletes to improve their odds of competitive success. A cross-sectional retrospective analysis was conducted using a public powerlifting database. Primary analysis categorized athletes as either podium (POD) or nonpodium (NPOD), and a subanalysis classified athletes as either gold medalists (GMs) or silver and bronze medalists (SBMs). Analyses of variance were used to assess the significance of the difference between groups. Pearson's correlations were used to evaluate the magnitude of the relationships and binary logistic regressions were used to quantify the variables. Results are reported as odds ratios, and an alpha level of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. There was a significant difference in mean age (POD = 1.6 years younger; p < 0.001), body mass (POD = 2.7 kg heavier; p = 0.006), and best lift (POD = 19.5 kg greater; p < 0.001) for female POD athletes compared with NPOD athletes. For male POD athletes compared with NPOD athletes, there was a difference in mean age (POD = 0.6 years younger; p = 0.035) and best lift (POD = 28.4 kg greater; p < 0.001). Comparing GMs with SBMs showed a significant difference in the mean best lift in both men (GM = 17.4 kg greater; p < 0.001) and women (GM = 11.1 kg greater; p < 0.001). A positive relationship was seen in both the primary and subanalysis between the number of successful lifts (of 3) and an increase in the odds of competitive success (i.e., winning). The findings of this research indicate that high-performing para powerlifters tend to choose attempt weights that prioritize the successful completion of all 3 intracompetition lifts to win a competition.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Factors prompting clinicians to request viral testing in children are unclear. We assessed patterns prompting clinicians to perform viral testing in children discharged from an emergency department (ED) or hospitalized with an acute respiratory infection (ARI).

METHODS
Using active ARI surveillance data collected from November 2017 through February 2020, children aged between 30 days and 17 years with fever or respiratory symptoms who had a research respiratory specimen tested were included. Children’s presentation patterns from their initial evaluation at each health care setting were analyzed using principal components (PCs) analysis. PC-specific models using logistic regression with robust sandwich estimators were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) between PCs and provider-ordered viral testing. PCs were assigned respiratory virus/viruses names a priori based on the patterns represented.

RESULTS
In total, 4107 children were enrolled and tested, with 2616 (64%) discharged from the ED and 1491 (36%) hospitalized. In the ED, children with a coviral presentation pattern had a 1.44-fold (95% CI, 1.24–1.68) increased odds of receiving a provider-ordered viral test than children showing clinical symptoms less representative of coviral-like infection. Whereas children in the ED and hospitalized with rhinovirus-like symptoms had 71% (OR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.24–0.34) and 39% (OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.49–0.76) decreased odds, respectively, of receiving a provider-ordered viral test during their medical encounter.

CONCLUSIONS
Viral tests are frequently ordered by clinicians, but presentation patterns vary by setting and influence the initiation of testing. Additional assessments of factors affecting provider decisions to use viral testing in pediatric ARI management are needed to maximize patient benefits of testing.
Managing the thermal impact of green walls on internal spaces of AQABA buildings
Authors: Al-Khlouf Maryam , Tarawneh Sultan 
Published: January 2024

AbstractGreen wall systems have been introduced all over the world as a sustainable solution to combat the hot environment inside buildings and provide thermal comfort by improving the thermal efficiency of the buildings. This study aims to find out whether green walls can be used to manage the inside thermal conditions of Aqaba buildings. It is intended to lessen the impact of Aqaba's harsh warm climate on internal building spaces and achieve a thermal comfort level. A physical live experiment was used to detect the thermal impact of green walls on internal spaces. The thermal performances of two identical real-scale test rooms, one of which had a fixed green facade, were compared. This study concludes that green facades have a significant potential to promote buildings' thermal behaviour in the hot summer of Aqaba and thermally similar regions.

La guanábana (Annona muricata L.) tiene gran potencial y expectativa de producción en Nayarit. La producción de la guanábana se ve afectada severamente por mala polinización y ataque de hongos en periodo de floración. Al respeto, existe una alternativa que ha generado expectativas en el incremento del cuajado de los frutos que consiste en la polinización manual. En esta investigación se evaluó la polinización manual y natural en árboles de guanábana con diferente porcentaje de poda, seguido de aplicación del fungicida azoxystrobin en el amarre y desarrollo de fruto en Las Varas, Compostela, Nayarit. Se polinizaron y etiquetaron 236 inflorescencias de manera manual y 256 polinizadas de manera natural. Con atomizador se aplicó en una ocasión fungicida a 107 flores polinizadas de manera manual y 128 de manera natural. Los árboles (con y sin fungicida) con polinización manual presentaron 30.24 % y 59.58 % de amarre de frutos respectivamente. En árboles con 100 % de poda, polinización manual y fungicida se obtuvo un 40.28 % de amarre de frutos mientras que los árboles con 25 % de poda y polinización manual se obtuvo un 72.15 % de amarre de frutos y mejor desarrollo de frutos con medias de 60.62 mm de diámetro y 103.88 mm de longitud. Mientras que los frutos con polinización manual y fungicida se presentaron medias de 48.64 mm de diámetro y longitud de 80.48 mm. La técnica de polinización manual en conjunto con la aplicación de fungicida y poda favorece el amarre y desarrollo de frutos de guanábana.
