Abstract
Amorphous Ga2O3 (a-Ga2O3) has been attracting more and more attention due to its unique merits such as wide bandgap (∼4.9 eV), low growth temperature, large-scale uniformity, low cost and energy efficient, making it a powerful competitor in flexible deep ultraviolet (UV) photodetection. Although the responsivity of the ever-reported a-Ga2O3 UV photodetectors (PDs) is usually in the level of hundreds of A/W, it is often accompanied by a large dark current due to the presence of abundant oxygen vacancy (V
O) defects, which severely limits the possibility to detect weak signals and achieve versatile applications. In this work, the V
O defects in a-Ga2O3 thin films are successfully passivated by in-situ hydrogen doping during the magnetron sputtering process. As a result, the dark current of a-Ga2O3 UV PD is remarkably suppressed to 5.17 × 10−11 A at a bias of 5 V. Importantly, the photocurrent of the corresponding device is still as high as 1.37 × 10−3 A, leading to a high photo-to-dark current ratio of 2.65 × 107 and the capability to detect the UV light with the intensity below 10 nW cm−2. Moreover, the H-doped a-Ga2O3 thin films have also been deposited on polyethylene naphtholate substrates to construct flexible UV PDs, which exhibit no great degradation in bending states and fatigue tests. These results demonstrate that hydrogen doping can effectively improve the performance of a-Ga2O3 UV PDs, further promoting its practical application in various areas.

AbstractPurposeSpecialty medications often have high costs, pose difficulties with payor approval, and require additional monitoring. Earlier articles have defined various examples of clinical outcome measures (COMs); however, goals and benchmarks have not been well defined, and a gap in the literature exists. This study evaluated the effectiveness of our health-system specialty pharmacy (HSSP) patient management program (PMP) in achieving predefined COM goals.MethodsDisease state protocols were developed within the HSSP, and clinical and adherence goals were created for each COM based on primary literature. This retrospective, single-center review examined outcomes and adherence data on patients enrolled in the PMP during 2022. The primary outcome was the number of predefined disease state COM goals met. Secondary outcomes included the number of predefined adherence goals met and annual financial impact.ResultsOf 1,431 patients whose records were reviewed, 1,053 met criteria for inclusion. The primary outcome analysis showed that 85% (33 of 39) of the predefined disease state goals were met. Predefined adherence goals were met, with an average proportion of days covered (PDC) for all specialty medications of &gt;90%. The PMP yielded $5,167,043 in direct patient cost savings and $167,260 in cost avoidance.ConclusionThe PMP yielded positive results in meeting goals set for the COMs in the disease states managed within the HSSP. COMs will remain a focus for HSSPs to help patients achieve desired clinical outcomes and HSSPs adhere to accreditation standards. More research in this field and standardization of COM goals may benefit the larger HSSP community.

Abstract
Patients with schizophrenia tend to have deficits in emotion recognition (ER) that affect their social function. However, the commonly-used ER measures appear incomprehensive, unreliable and invalid, making it difficult to comprehensively evaluate ER. The purposes of this study were to develop the Computerized Emotion Recognition Video Test (CERVT) evaluating ER ability in patients with schizophrenia. This study was divided into two phases. First, we selected candidate CERVT items/videos of 8 basic emotion domains from a published database. Second, we validated the selected CERVT items using Rasch analysis. Finally, the 269 patients and 177 healthy adults were recruited to ensure the participants had diverse abilities. After the removal of 21 misfit (infit or outfit mean square &gt; 1.4) items and adjustment of the item difficulties of the 26 items with severe differential item functioning, the remaining 217 items were finalized as the CERVT items. All the CERVT items showed good model fits with small eigenvalues (≤ 2) based on the residual-based principal components analysis for each domain, supporting the unidimensionality of these items. The 8 domains of the CERVT had good to excellent reliabilities (average Rasch reliabilities = 0.84–0.93). The CERVT contains items of the 8 basic emotions with individualized scores. Moreover, the CERVT showed acceptable reliability and validity, and the scores were not affected by examinees’ gender. Thus, the CERVT has the potential to provide a comprehensive, reliable, valid, and gender-unbiased assessment of ER for patients with schizophrenia.
Condition-transfer maternal effects modulate inter-locus sexual conflict
Authors: García-Roa Roberto , Faria Gonçalo S , Noble Daniel W A , Carazo Pau 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Strong sexual selection frequently favors males that increase their reproductive success by harming females, with potentially negative consequences for natural populations. Understanding what factors modulate conflict between the sexes is hence critical to understand both the evolution of male and female phenotypes and the viability of populations in the wild. Here, we model the evolution of male harm while incorporating male-induced maternal effects on offspring quality. We show that because male harm can induce condition-transfer maternal effects that reduce the quality of a harming male’s own offspring, maternal effects can partially align male and female evolutionary interests and significantly curb the evolution of male harm. These effects are independent of relatedness, the scale of competition, mating system, and whether male harm comes before (i.e., harassment) and/or during/after (i.e., traumatic inseminations or toxic ejaculates) mating and are particularly salient when maternal effects influence offspring ability to inflict (sons) or resist (daughters) harm. Our results underscore the potential importance of considering maternal effects to unravel the evolution of sexual conflict.
HAT: de novo variant calling for highly accurate short-read and long-read sequencing data
Authors: Ng Jeffrey K , Turner Tychele N 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Motivation
de novo variants (DNVs) are variants that are present in offspring but not in their parents. DNVs are both important for examining mutation rates as well as in the identification of disease-related variation. While efforts have been made to call DNVs, calling of DNVs is still challenging from parent–child sequenced trio data. We developed Hare And Tortoise (HAT) as an automated DNV detection workflow for highly accurate short-read and long-read sequencing data. Reliable detection of DNVs is important for human genomics and HAT addresses this need.

Results
HAT is a computational workflow that begins with aligned read data (i.e. CRAM or BAM) from a parent–child sequenced trio and outputs DNVs. HAT detects high-quality DNVs from Illumina short-read whole-exome sequencing, Illumina short-read whole-genome sequencing, and highly accurate PacBio HiFi long-read whole-genome sequencing data. The quality of these DNVs is high based on a series of quality metrics including number of DNVs per individual, percent of DNVs at CpG sites, and percent of DNVs phased to the paternal chromosome of origin.

Refugia within refugium of Geranium yesoense varieties: a follow-up study using chloroplast genome sequencing data of specimens from Mt. Asama, Japan

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Recent phylogeographical studies have revealed that refugia sometimes retain high levels of genetic heterogeneity due to multiple colonization events, a phenomenon defined as ‘refugia within refugium’. In previous research, we reported a complex genetic structure within the Geranium yesoense complex, an alpine plant found in an interglacial refugium at high elevation in Central Japan, probably resulting from multiple colonization and hybridization events. However, we were unable to evaluate instances of introgression due to limited sample size. In the present study, we performed additional chloroplast genome sequencing, along with Sanger sequencing of selected chloroplast DNA regions, to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships among the refugial populations. The chloroplast genome sequence of a sample from Mt. Asama (an important refugium) was nested within the northern lineage (i.e. var. yesoense and var. pseudopratense), and haplotypes from Mt. Asama and Mt. Ibuki were also grouped with those of the northern lineage. Although our previous study suggested hybridization events between northern and southern lineages (i.e. var. nipponicum) at Mt. Asama, haplotypes from the southern lineage were not detected at range margins. This suggests that directional introgression occurred in these regions. Overall, our results further support that genetic heterogeneity within these refugia was amplified by recolonization and hybridization during past climate oscillations.
Ectoparasite load generates habitat-specific variation in colour badge intensity and badge size in male lizards
Authors: Roberts Katherine M , McElroy Eric J , McBrayer Lance D 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The severity of parasitic infections can mediate the differential expression of signals among populations, creating variation in signal intensity. Male signals (patch size and brightness) were quantified in Florida scrub lizards (Sceloporus woodi) from populations that vary in ectoparasite load. Males without mites were caught before breeding and exhibited different correlations among body size, patch size, and brightness. Males with ectoparasites (range = 1–368) were captured throughout the breeding season and showed a habitat-dependent pattern of how ectoparasite load, body size, and body condition were correlated with badge characteristics. In the sand pine scrub habitat, large males in good condition that were heavily parasitized had the largest badges. There was no relationship between body size or ectoparasite load and badge darkness. Lizards from longleaf pine habitat shared only one pattern, i.e. larger males had larger badges, yet there were several key differences. Body condition and ectoparasite load were unrelated to badge size, and the most heavily parasitized males had the brightest, not darkest, badges. Instead, males with moderate and low parasite loads had the darkest abdomens, and those with low parasite loads had the darkest throats. Thus, parasite load and body condition have habitat-dependent effects on badge characteristics.
Impacts of multiple demand-side management strategies on microgrids planning: a literature survey
Authors: Elazab Rasha , Abdelnaby Ahmed T , Ali A A 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Demand-side management (DSM) schemes play a crucial role in managing renewable energy generation and load fluctuations by utilizing demand–response programmes (DRPs). This paper aims to provide a detailed overview of DRPs that help microgrid operators to keep costs and reliability within acceptable ranges. Additionally, this review paper provides a detailed economic load model for DRPs based on initial load, demand–response (DR) incentive, DR penalty and elasticity coefficients. This article also aims to guide researchers in identifying research gaps in DSM applications in microgrids by comparing various DSM schemes from different countries and regions in terms of DSM strategies, objective functions and optimization techniques. Furthermore, this study analyses the impact of DRPs on microgrid configuration from the perspective of utilities and customers, considering technical and economic performance metrics. As a result, it can be concluded that none of the studied cases provides models or guidelines for choosing appropriate DSM schemes that consider different consumer interests or load-type features. Furthermore, a few researchers have addressed the features of a modern price-based DR strategy, renewable generation-based dynamic pricing DR, which offers higher customer satisfaction than traditional DRPs.
Video Hashing with Tensor Robust PCA and Histogram of Optical Flow for Copy Detection
Authors: Yu Mengzhu , Tang Zhenjun , Zhang Hanyun , Liang Xiaoping , Zhang Xianquan 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper proposes a novel video hashing with tensor robust Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Histogram of Optical Flow (HOF) for copy detection. In the proposed hashing, a video is divided into some video groups. For each video group, a low-rank secondary frame is constructed from the low-rank component decomposed by applying tensor robust PCA to the video group. Since the low-rank component can well indicate spatial-temporal intrinsic structure of the video group and it is slightly disturbed by digital operations, feature extraction from the low-rank secondary frames is discriminative and stable. Next, spatial features and temporal features are extracted from low-rank secondary frames by Charlier moments and HOF, respectively. Since the Charlier moments are robust to geometric transform and they can efficiently distinguish video frames with different contents, the use of Charlier moments can make robust and discriminative spatial features. As the HOF can measure the distribution of motion information between frames, the temporal features formed by HOFs can provide good discrimination. Hash is ultimately determined by quantizing the spatial and temporal features and concatenating the quantized results. Numerous experiments on open video datasets indicate that the proposed hashing is superior to some hashing baseline schemes in terms of classification and copy detection.
Prevention and treatment of pericardial tamponade in the electrophysiology laboratory: a European Heart Rhythm Association survey
Authors: Metzner Andreas , Sultan Arian , Futyma Piotr , Richter Sergio , Perrotta Laura , Chun K R Julian 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Aims
Pericardial tamponade (PT) is the most frequent severe complication during electrophysiology (EP) procedures and requires immediate, co-ordinated, and effective treatment. However, multiple aspects of PT treatment are either not standardized or are under ongoing debate.

Methods and results
An online questionnaire consisting of 26 multiple-choice questions was sent out to the European Heart Rhythm (EHRA) Research Network and also distributed via social media outputs. The EHRA survey was conducted between May and June 2023. A total of 213 replies were received from European (87%) and non-European countries. Ninety per cent of all participants perform interventions in dedicated EP labs equipped with different ablation platforms. In case of PT, most participants use X-ray as the main imaging modality guiding pericardial puncture, predominantly aiming for an anterior puncture site. Sheaths of different sizes are introduced into the pericardial space (84.3%), followed by a pigtail catheter. Application of protamine is an established but variable step in the majority (84.6%). Novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) antidotes are not used by 73.3% of participants, while 15.2% routinely apply them. Re-transfusion of aspirated blood is performed by 72.1% [before protamine administration (18.2%), after protamine administration (13.5%), if pericardial effusion cannot be controlled (40.4%)]. A total of 72.4% re-transfuse without blood filter systems. A decision for surgical intervention is mostly taken if bleeding continues despite all interventional measures.

Conclusion
The current survey demonstrates that the management of PT is heterogeneous among centres. The findings of this survey may help to guide operators in their treatment and decisions in the setting of PT.
Which cues are sexy? The evolution of mate preference in sympatric species reveals the contrasted effect of adaptation and reproductive interference
Authors: Maisonneuve Ludovic , Smadi Charline , Llaurens Violaine 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Mate preferences may target traits (a) enhancing offspring adaptation and (b) reducing heterospecific matings. Because similar selective pressures are acting on traits shared by different sympatric species, preference-enhancing offspring adaptation may increase heterospecific mating, in sharp contrast with the classical case of so-called “magic traits.” Using a mathematical model, we study which and how many traits will be used during mate choice, when preferences for locally adapted traits increase heterospecific mating. In particular, we study the evolution of preference toward an adaptive versus a neutral trait in sympatric species. We take into account sensory trade-offs, which may limit the emergence of preference for several traits. Our model highlights that the evolution of preference toward adaptive versus neutral traits depends on the selective regimes acting on traits but also on heterospecific interactions. When the costs of heterospecific interactions are high, mate preference is likely to target neutral traits that become a reliable cue limiting heterospecific matings. We show that the evolution of preference toward a neutral trait benefits from a positive feedback loop: The more preference targets the neutral trait, the more it becomes a reliable cue for species recognition. We then reveal the key role of sensory trade-offs and the cost of choosiness favoring the evolution of preferences targeting adaptive traits, rather than traits reducing heterospecific mating. When sensory trade-offs and the cost of choosiness are low, we also show that preferences targeting multiple traits evolve, improving offspring fitness by both transmitting adapted alleles and reducing heterospecific mating. Altogether, our model aims at reconciling “good gene” and reinforcement models to provide general predictions on the evolution of mate preferences within natural communities.
Reasserting the Right to Adequate Clothing in International Human Rights Law
Authors: Graham Luke D 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Through examining the practice of the United Nation’s Committee on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, this article reasserts the ‘forgotten’ right to adequate clothing as a distinct right deriving from Article 11 (1) of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). In doing so, this article traces and explains how the right to adequate clothing has ceased to feature in reporting and monitoring under the ICESCR. The right to adequate clothing must be reasserted for three reasons. Firstly, an accurate interpretation of the ICESCR requires its recognition as a distinct right. Secondly, it is the only human right that can effectively respond to the specific harms stemming from inadequate clothing. Thirdly, clothing is a prerequisite for the enjoyment of human rights generally. Consequently, the right must be reintegrated into the ICESCR’s reporting guidelines to allow effective monitoring and to engender the institutional development of this right.
Borrowed Words and Judicial Gestalt: A Dialogical Reading of Hirst, the ECtHR and Prisoner Voting Rights
Authors: Etxabe Julen 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article suggests that judgments of the European Court of Human Rights exhibit a textual quality that Mikhail Bakhtin called dialogism, namely, a kind of discourse constituted by a plurality of mutually effecting and interpenetrated voices. Such compositional choice is not just a lengthy prolegomenon to any decision, nor an unnecessary appendix that could be safely eliminated; it is actually fundamental for the construction—and comprehension—of any ECtHR opinion. In this article, I will focus on the 2005 case of Hirst, in which the Grand Chamber declared that the UK legislative blanket ban on prisoner voting is incompatible with the European Convention of Human Rights. As a controversial case about as-yet live-wire issues, Hirst can be shown to be a profoundly dialogized text despite all appearances to the contrary, which paves the way for a more general argument about the dialogical practice of adjudication by the Court.
On the definition of curvature in Regge calculus
Authors: Christiansen Snorre H 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Regge calculus defines a curvature for piecewise constant metrics on simplicial complexes subject to a partial continuity requirement. We prove that if a part of the complex is embedded in a Euclidean space, by a piecewise affine map, and we perform smoothing by convolution there, then the smoothed metrics have a densitized scalar curvature that converges, in the sense of measures, to that defined by Regge, as the smoothing parameter goes to zero.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Despite advancements in pain management for burn injuries, analgesia often fails to meet our patients’ needs. We hypothesized that low doses of intravenous (IV) ketamine as an adjunct to our current protocol would be safe, improving both nurse and patient satisfaction with analgesia during hydrotherapy. Burn patients admitted who underwent hydrotherapy from June 1, 2021, to June 30, 2023 were surveyed. Ketamine was administered with the standard opioid–midazolam regimen. Demographics, oral morphine equivalents, midazolam, ketamine doses and time of administration, and adverse events were collected. Patient and nurse satisfaction scores were collected. The ketamine and no-ketamine groups were compared. P &lt; .05 was considered significant. Eighty-five hydrotherapies were surveyed, 47 without ketamine, and 38 with ketamine. Demographics, comorbidities, %TBSA, and hospital length of stay were not different. The median amount of ketamine given was 0.79 mg/kg [0.59-1.06]. Patients who received ketamine were more likely to receive midazolam (100% vs 61.7%; P &lt; .001), and both oral and IV opioids (94.7% vs 68.1%; P = .002) prior to hydrotherapy and less likely to receive rescue opioids or midazolam during hydrotherapy. Two patients in the ketamine group had hypertension (defined as SBP &gt; 180) that did not require treatment. Nurses tended to be more satisfied with patient pain control when ketamine was used (10 [8-10] vs 9 [7-10], P = .072). Patient satisfaction was higher in the ketamine group (10 [8.8-10] vs 9 [7-10], P = .006). Utilizing subhypnotic dose of IV ketamine for hydrotherapy is safe and associated with increased patient satisfaction.
