Defaulting Differently: The Political Economy of Sovereign Debt Restructuring Negotiations
Authors: Ferry Lauren L 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Negotiations to restructure sovereign debt are protracted affairs, and their outcomes, known as “haircuts,” range from 0 to 80 percent creditor losses. Haircuts impact states’ ability to borrow, cost of borrowing, and economic recovery; they also redistribute income—between states and creditors and between domestic interest groups. I conceptualize the interaction between governments and private creditors as a bargaining game where the government’s will to repay is private information. Creditors can make inferences about repayment based on the government’s political economy, but distributional signals are muddled when there are multiple veto players. Where additional uncertainty persists, governments can issue a public declaration of default, triggering costs in international financial markets. This costly signal separates governments that are willing to repay from those that are not and extorts greater concessions as a result. Using data on haircuts and public default declarations in market-based restructurings from 1980 to 2009, I find that governments are more likely to engage in costly signaling when they face heightened domestic constraints. When governments issue public declarations, they are subsequently rewarded with higher haircuts. Defaults do not all look the same, and the economic consequences are varied.

Abstract
We conducted a population genomic study of the crested caracara (Caracara plancus) using samples (n = 290) collected from individuals in Florida, Texas, and Arizona, United States. Crested caracaras are non-migratory raptors ranging from the southern tip of South America to the southern United States, including a federally protected relict population in Florida long thought to have been isolated since the last ice age. Our objectives were to evaluate genetic diversity and population structure of Florida’s apparently isolated population and to evaluate taxonomic relationships of crested caracaras at the northern edge of their range. Using DNA purified from blood samples, we conducted double-digest restriction site associated DNA sequencing and sequenced the mitochondrial ND2 gene. Analyses of population structure using over 9,000 SNPs suggest that two major clusters are best supported, one cluster including only Florida individuals and the other cluster including Arizona and Texas individuals. Both SNPs and mitochondrial haplotypes reveal the Florida population to be highly differentiated genetically from Arizona and Texas populations, whereas, Arizona and Texas populations are moderately differentiated from each other. The Florida population’s mitochondrial haplotypes form a separate monophyletic group, while Arizona and Texas populations share mitochondrial haplotypes. Results of this study provide substantial genetic evidence that Florida’s crested caracaras have experienced long-term isolation from caracaras in Arizona and Texas and thus, represent a distinct evolutionary lineage possibly warranting distinction as an Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) or subspecies. This study will inform conservation strategies focused on long-term survival of Florida’s distinct, panmictic population.

AbstractTo sustain healthy forests in the United States, the USDA Forest Service, Forest Health Protection and cooperators utilize integrated pest management (IPM) programs to prevent, suppress, and eradicate insect and disease outbreaks affecting trees across all land ownerships. Forest pest management projects supported by federal funding from 2011 to 2020 were assessed to determine the most frequently used project types, IPM strategies and tactics, identify the dominant forest pests and associated hosts managed, and identify the most comprehensive forest IPM programs in practice. Forest pest management projects were obtained primarily from two centralized databases and included 2,416 projects that treated a total of 2,284,624 ha. Two project types accounted for most of the forest pest projects (suppression: 63% and prevention: 30%). Native forest pests were targeted more (79%) than non-native pests (21%) in these projects; however, non-native pests accounted for more treatment areas. Forest pest projects were directed mostly at phloem-feeding insects (70%) and subsequently followed by foliage feeders (10%), sap feeders (6%), and all other pest groups (each &lt; 5%), including diseases. Four IPM control strategies (silvicultural: 32%, semiochemical: 22%, chemical: 21%, and physical/mechanical: 18%) accounted for most of the forest pest projects. Foliage feeders possessed the most comprehensive IPM programs that adopted two or more types of control tactics. Few pest programs incorporated microbial/biopesticide control strategies and this represents an area where research is needed. In addition, better-centralized records are needed for genetic control projects, treatment efficacy, and survey and technical assistance activities.

AbstractThe knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) on the control of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases were investigated in urban informal settlements of Lagos State, Nigeria, during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) period. The survey was conducted between December 2021 and March 2022 using a cross-sectional approach in the informal settlements of Bariga, Makoko, and Ajegunle, and in the formal settlement of Ikeja, all in Lagos State. A total of 400 semistructured questionnaires, 100 per community, were administered to consenting adult participants, and the data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that of the total respondents, 262 (65.5%) claimed to have previously seen mosquito larvae, while 54.2% of the total were aware that larvae usually develop into adult mosquitoes. Only 167 (41.8%) of the respondents owned insecticide-treated bed nets, out of which 126 (75.4%) slept under such bed nets. The rate of bed net ownership and reasons for not using them were significant in relation to the study communities. The majority of respondents (81.2%) reported using aerosol insecticides almost daily, potentially contributing to the challenge of insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors. Of the mosquito-borne diseases endemic in Nigeria, malaria was the most well-known by respondents (62.7%), followed by yellow fever (13.6%), and lymphatic filariasis (1.5%). These findings highlight the need for both public education on mosquito control and government interventions in urban informal settlements.
Dysfunctional states of unconventional T-cell subsets in cancer

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Unconventional T cells represent a promising therapeutic agent to overcome the current limitations of immunotherapies due to their universal T-cell receptors, ability to respond directly to cytokine stimulation, and capacity to recruit and modulate conventional immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Like conventional T cells, unconventional T cells can enter a dysfunctional state, and the functional differences associated with this state may provide insight into the discrepancies observed in their role in antitumor immunity in various cancers. The exhaustive signature of unconventional T cells differs from conventional αβ T cells, and understanding the differences in the mechanisms underlying exhaustive differentiation in these cell types may aid in the discovery of new treatments to improve sustained antitumor responses. Ongoing clinical trials investigating therapies that leverage unconventional T-cell populations have shown success in treating hematologic malignancies and reducing the immunosuppressive tumor environment. However, several hurdles remain to extend these promising results into solid tumors. Here we discuss the current knowledge on unconventional T-cell function/dysfunction and consider how the incorporation of therapies that modulate unconventional T-cell exhaustion may aid in overcoming the current limitations of immunotherapy. Additionally, we discuss how components of the tumor microenvironment alter the functions of unconventional T cells and how these changes can affect tumor infiltration by lymphocytes and alter conventional T-cell responses.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Cilia is an important mechanism for epithelial cells in the respiratory tract, cerebrospinal flow in the brain, hair bundles in the ear, and photoreceptor in the retina, etc. Cilia can also be found in human fallopian tube for the transport of the ova, embryos, and sperm. In this research, we investigate the combined effects of mixed convection and magnetic field. In the present analysis, we describe the flow and heat transfer characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic Carreau fluid in fallopian tube with metachronal wave of cilia. The mathematical equation of the problem is performed under creeping phenomena and long wavelength approximation. The numerical solution for extra stress tensor, temperature profile, and streamline pattern are obtained using the NDSolve method of Mathematica software. The physical and graphical behavior of different value of involved parameter are discussed in the last section. The parametric values are kept small (&lt;10) in view of cilia walls having very small diameter.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Medium and small arteries are mainly affected by polyarteritis nodosa. Lungs are spared but any other organ can be involved. Gallbladder can be part of this systemic disease. Isolated gallbladder disease is not common. The presentation of the systemic polyarteritis nodosa as acute cholecystitis is described in this case report. Management of the disease depends on the involved organs and usually consists of systemic steroids. The diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa should be considered in patients with previous systemic symptoms who develop picture of acute cholecystitis.
A quantitative window on the history of statistics: topic-modelling 120 years ofBiometrika

Published: October 2023

AbstractAs one of the oldest continuously publishing journals in statistics (published since 1901), Biometrika provides a unique window onto the history of statistics and its epistemic development throughout the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries. While the early history of the discipline, with the works of key figures, such as Karl Pearson, Francis Galton, or Ronald Fisher, is relatively well known, the later (and longer) episodes of its intellectual development remain understudied. By applying digital tools to the full-text corpus of the journal articles (N = 5,596), the objective of this study is to provide a novel quantitative exploration of the history of the statistical sciences via an all-encompassing view of 120 years of Biometrika. To this aim, topic-modelling analyses are used and provide insights into the epistemic content of the journal and its evolution. Striking changes in the thematic content of the journal are documented and quantified for the first time, from the decline of Pearsonian and Weldonian biometrical research and the journal’s tight connection to biology in the 1930s to the rise of modern statistical methods beginning in the 1960s and 1970s. Newly developed approaches are used to infer author networks from publication topics. The resulting network of authors shows the existence of several communities, well-aligned with topic clusters and their evolution through time. It also highlights the role of specific figures over more than a century of publishing history and provides a first window onto the foundation, development, and diverse applications of the statistical sciences.
A Systematic Review of the Department of Veterans Affairs Mental Health-Care Access Interventions for Veterans With PTSD
Authors: Resnik Jack , Miller Christopher J , Roth Clara E , Burns Katharine , Bovin Michelle J 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Access to mental health care has been a priority area for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) for decades. Access for veterans with PTSD is essential because untreated PTSD is associated with numerous adverse outcomes. Although interventions have been developed to improve access to DVA mental health care, the impact of these interventions on access for veterans with untreated PTSD has not been examined comprehensively, limiting guidance on appropriate implementation.

Materials and Methods
We conducted a systematic review of PubMed and PTSDpubs between May 2019 and January 2022 to identify DVA access interventions for veterans with PTSD not engaged in DVA mental health care. We identified 17 interventions and 29 manuscripts reporting quantitative access outcomes. We categorized interventions into four major categories: Primary care mental health integration, other national initiatives, telemental health, and direct outreach. We evaluated five outcome domains: Binary attendance, number of sessions attended, wait time, number of patients seen, and care initiation. We assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration criteria.

Results
Across articles, binary attendance generally improved, whereas the impact on the number of sessions attended was equivocal. Overall, the number of patients seen increased compared to control participants and retrospective data. The few articles that examined care initiation had mixed results. Only one article examined the impact on wait time.

Conclusions
Access interventions for veterans with PTSD demonstrated varied success across interventions and outcomes. The national initiatives—particularly primary care mental health integration —were successful across several outcomes; telemental health demonstrated promise in improving access; and the success of direct outreach varied across interventions. Confidence in these findings is tempered by potential bias among studies. Limited literature on how these interventions impact relevant preattendance barriers, along with incomplete data on how many perform nationally, suggests that additional work is needed to ensure that these interventions increase access for veterans with PTSD nationwide.
Systematic Review of Injuries and Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain Among High-speed Boat Operators
Authors: Ullman Cpt Johan , Hengst David , Rolfson Ola , Myers Stephen , Robinson Yohan 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction
High-speed boat operators constitute a population at risk of work-related injuries and disabilities. This review aimed to summarize the available knowledge on workplace-related injuries and chronic musculoskeletal pain among high-speed boat operators.

Materials and Methods
In this systematic review, we searched Medline, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library Database for studies, published from 1980 to 2022, on occupational health and hazards onboard high-speed boats. Studies and reports were eligible for inclusion if they evaluated, compared, used, or described harms associated with impact exposure onboard high-speed boats. Studies focusing on recreational injuries and operators of non-planing boats were excluded. The primary outcome of interest was the incidence of acute injuries. The secondary outcome measures comprised the presence of chronic musculoskeletal disorders, pain medication use, and days off work.

Results
Of the 163 search results, 5 (2 prospective longitudinal and 3 cross-sectional cohort studies) were included in this systematic review. A total of 804 cases with 3,312 injuries sustained during 3,467 person-years onboard high-speed boats were included in the synthesis of the results. The pooled incidence rate was 1.0 per person-year. The most common injuries were related to the lower back (26%), followed by neck (16%) and head (12%) injuries. The pooled prevalence of chronic pain was 74% (95% CI: 73–75%) and 60% (95% CI: 59–62%) of the cohort consumed analgesics.

Conclusions
Despite very limited data, this review found evidence that high-speed boat operators have a higher rate of injuries and a higher prevalence of chronic pain than other naval service operators and the general workforce. Given the low certainty of these findings, further prospective research is required to verify the injury incidence and chronic pain prevalence among high-speed boat operators.
Post-concussion Return to Shooting Progression for Military Service Members: A Scoping Review and Conceptual Framework

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction
There are established protocols for staged return to physical activity in sport and military settings following concussion. Currently, there is no evidence-based staged return to shooting protocol in use by the U.S. military despite the unique challenges and stresses shooting places on the vestibular–ocular and cognitive systems often disrupted by a concussion. The primary purpose of this scoping review was to summarize available evidence and current practices on return to shooting post-concussion, with the goal of optimizing an evidence-based return to shooting protocol for military service members. Our secondary aim was to identify individuals who may benefit from a return to shooting progression.

Materials and Methods
A comprehensive search of PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and Google Scholar was performed from the earliest dates to April 2023. A gray literature (Google) search was also performed. Articles were included if they studied a population with concussion, addressed return to shooting, and were written in English. Articles were excluded if they discussed health conditions other than concussion, focused on non-shooting interventions, did not use human subjects, or were written in a language other than English.

Results
Our search strategy yielded 134 articles: 1 article met our inclusion and exclusion criteria, whereas the other 133 articles were rejected. The gray literature search yielded one item.

Conclusions
Based on our results, there is insufficient evidence to inform current practices on return to shooting post-concussion. In the absence of a published return to shooting protocol, we offer recommendations for identifying individuals who may benefit from a return to shooting progression and a revised version of a U.S. Army Special Operations Command Return to Range Progression. This protocol follows a conceptual framework for progression for variables such as environment, weapon type/caliber, and shooter position/movement. Further research is needed on identifying individuals who may benefit from a return to shooting protocol and safely and effectively progressing these individuals through a return to shooting protocol post-concussion.
Observational constraints and cosmological implications of scalar–tensor f(R, T) gravity

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Recently, the scalar–tensor representation of f(R, T) gravity was used to explore gravitationally induced particle production/annihilation. Using the framework of irreversible thermodynamics of open systems in the presence of matter creation/annihilation, the physical and cosmological consequences of this setup were investigated in detail. In this paper, we test observationally the scalar–tensor representation of f(R, T) gravity in the context of the aforementioned framework, using the Hubble and Pantheon + measurements. The best fit parameters are obtained by solving numerically the modified Friedmann equations of two distinct cosmological models in scalar–tensor f(R, T) gravity, corresponding to two different choices of the potential, and by performing a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis. The best parameters are used to compute the cosmographic parameters, that is, the deceleration, the jerk, and the snap parameters. Using the output resulting from the Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis, the cosmological evolution of the creation pressure and of the matter creation rates are presented for both models. To figure out the statistical significance of the studied scalar–tensor f(R, T) gravity, the Bayesian and the corrected Akaike information criteria are used. The latter indicates that the first considered model in scalar–tensor f(R, T) gravity is statistically better than ΛCDM, that is, it is more favoured by observations. Besides, a continuous particle creation process is present in Model 1. Alternatively, for large redshifts, in Model 2 the particle creation rate may become negative, thus indicating the presence of particle annihilation processes. However, both models lead to an accelerating expansion of the universe at late times, with a deceleration parameter equivalent to that of the ΛCDM model.

ABSTRACT
We report the results of the stellar occultation by (UII) Umbriel on 2020 September 21. The shadow crossed the USA and Canada, and 19 positive chords were obtained. A limb parameter accounted for putative topographic features in the limb fittings. Ellipse fittings were not robust – only upper limits were derived for the true size/shape of a putative Umbriel ellipsoid. The adopted spherical solution gives radius = 582.4 ± 0.8 km, smaller/close to 584.7 ± 2.8 km from Voyager II. The apparent ellipse fit results in a true semi-major axis of 584.9 ± 3.8 km, semi-minor axis of 582.3 ± 0.6 km, and true oblateness of 0.004 ± 0.008 for a putative ellipsoid. The geometric albedo was pV = 0.26 ± 0.01. The density was ρ = 1.54 ± 0.04 g cm−3. The surface gravity was 0.251 ± 0.006 m s−2 and the escape velocity was 0.541 ± 0.006 km s−1. Upper limits of 13 and 72 nbar (at 1σ and 3σ levels, respectively) were obtained for the surface pressure of a putative isothermal CO2 atmosphere at T = 70 K. A milliarcsecond precision position was derived: α = 02h30m28${_{.}^{\rm s}}$84556 ± 0.1 mas, δ = 14o19′36″.5836 ± 0.2 mas. A large limb parameter of 4.2 km was obtained, in striking agreement with opposite Southern hemisphere measurements by Voyager II in 1986. Occultation and Voyager results indicate that the same strong topography variation in the surface of Umbriel is present on both hemispheres.
