Published: December 2023

AbstractOur knowledge about the role of fly‐in fly‐out (FIFO) work‐related factors on the well‐being of workers across the FIFO work cycle is limited. This study examined the within‐person effects of job demand and control on psychological states and health behaviours. The study employed a daily diary design, with 23 FIFO workers in the Australian mining industry completing a daily diary survey for 28 consecutive days across on‐shift and off‐shift periods. Multilevel analyses showed FIFO workers experienced higher positive affect and enjoyed better sleep quality, but consumed more alcohol, during off‐shift days as compared to on‐shift days. Within‐person variability in daily demand (workload) was associated with higher anxious affect, whereas job control predicted lower anxious and depressed affects, higher positive affect, more alcohol consumption, and more physical activity. The within‐person effect of demand on anxious affect was moderated by job control such that those who generally had more control over their jobs had a smaller effect of demand on anxiety than those with less control. Results suggest potentially modifiable aspects of FIFO work—particularly job control—may help alleviate the impact of workload on poorer health behaviours and mood.

AbstractSolid‐state symmetrical battery represents a promising paradigm for future battery technology. However, its development is hindered by the deficiency of high‐performance bipolar electrodes and compatible solid electrolytes. Herein, a quasi‐solid‐state all‐V2O5 battery constructed by a binder‐free carbon fabric‐V2O5 nanowires@graphene (CVOG) bipolar electrode and a softly cross‐linked polyethylene oxide‐based solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) is reported. The synergetic effect of nano‐structuring of V2O5, hierarchical conductive network, and graphene wrapping endows the CVOG electrode with boosted reaction kinetics and suppressed vanadium dissolution. The cathodic and anodic reactions of CVOG are decoupled by electrochemical analysis, conceiving the feasibility of constructing all‐V2O5 full battery. In manifesting the solid‐state all‐V2O5 battery, the robust and elastic SPE exhibits high ionic conductivity, tight/self‐adaptable electrolyte‐electrode contact, and a low charge‐transfer barrier. The resultant solid‐state full battery exhibits a high reversible capacity of 158 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C, good capacity retention of over 61% from 0.1 C to 2 C, and remarkable cycling stability of 77% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 1 C, which surpass other solid‐state symmetrical batteries. Hence, this work provides a practice of high‐performance solid‐state batteries with symmetrical configuration and is constructive for next‐generation battery technology.

AbstractIn this study, genes linked to prognosis in skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) involved in programmed cell death (PCD) were identified and confirmed and prognostic models based on these genes were constructed. Acquisition and analysis of clinical data and RNA sequencing information from The Cancer Genome Atlas‐SKCM (TCGA‐SKCM) and Sangerbox databases, gene expression data for 477 tumor samples and 2 normal samples were successfully gathered. The patients were separated into two clusters based on consensus clustering of PCD‐related genes, with Cluster A having greater tumor purity, ESTIMATE score, immune score, and matrix score, and Cluster B having a significantly distinct pattern of immune cell infiltration. The use of gene set enrichment analysis and weighted correlation network analysis showed significant associations between certain genes and factors such as tumor mutation burden, age, stage, grade, and tumor subtype. Finally, based on the 12 genes selected by Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression analysis (STAT3, IRF2, SLC7A11, ZEB1, LIPT1, PML, GCH1, GYS1, ABCC1, XBP1, TFAP2C, NOX4), a prognostic model of PGD‐related genes was constructed. The effectiveness of the model's prognostic value was confirmed through survival analysis, time‐dependent receiver operating characteristic curve, single‐factor Cox regression analysis, and nomogram. We also verified the relationship between the GCH1 and MKI67 expression by wet experiment. This model has high prediction accuracy in SKCM patients and can provide a reference for clinical treatment.

AbstractBackground & AimsHepatic fat content can be non‐invasively estimated by controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) during transient elastography. The aim of this study was to examine the determinants and predictors of CAP values in individuals with metabolic dysfunction.MethodsWe enrolled 1230 consecutive apparently healthy individuals (Liver‐Bible‐2022 cohort) with ≥3 metabolic dysfunction features. CAP was measured by Fibroscan. CAP determinants and predictors were identified using backward stepwise analysis and introduced in generalized linear models.ResultsParticipants were predominantly males (82.9%), mean age was 53.8 ± 6.4 years, 600 (48.8%) had steatosis (CAP ≥ 275 dB/m), and 27 had liver stiffness measurement (LSM) ≥ 8 kPa. CAP values correlated with LSM (p < 10−22). In multivariable analysis, fasting insulin and abdominal circumference (AC) were the main determinants of CAP (p < 10−6), together with body mass index (BMI; p < 10−4), age, diabetes, triglycerides, ferritin, and lower HDL and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH; p < 0.05 for all). In a subset of 592 participants with thyroid hormone measurement, we found an association between higher free triiodothyronine levels, correlating with lower TSH, and CAP values, independent of TSH and of levothyroxine treatment (p = 0.0025). A clinical CAP score based on age, BMI, AC, HbA1c, ALT, and HDL predicted CAP ≥ 275 dB/m with moderate accuracy (AUROC = 0.73), which was better than that of the Fatty Liver Index and of ALT (AUROC = 0.70/0.61, respectively) and validated it in multiple cohorts.ConclusionAbdominal adiposity and insulin resistance severity were the main determinants of CAP in individuals with metabolic dysfunction and may improve steatotic liver disease risk stratification. CAP values were modulated by the hypophysis‐thyroid axis.

AbstractBackgroundThe causative agent of the COVID‐19 pandemic, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), is of zoonotic origin and has shown reverse zoonotic transmissibility.ObjectivesThe aim of this cross‐sectional study was to investigate the serological and molecular prevalence of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in the domestic cat (Felis catus) population from Latvia in natural conditions and subsequently perform viral genome analysis.MethodsOropharyngeal and rectal swabs and blood samples were collected from 273 domestic cats during the second wave of COVID‐19 infection in Latvia. Molecular prevalence was determined by using reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR). Serum samples were analysed via double antigen enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay targeting the antibody against the nucleocapsid protein of SARS‐CoV‐2. Positive swab samples were analysed using whole viral genome sequencing and subsequent phylogenetic analysis of the whole genome sequencing data of the samples was performed.ResultsThe overall SARS‐CoV‐2 RT‐PCR positivity and seroprevalence was 1.1% (3/273) and 2.6% (7/273), respectively. The SARS‐CoV‐2 genome sequences from three RT‐PCR positive cats were assigned to the three common lineages (PANGOLIN lineage S.1.; B.1.177.60. and B.1.1.7.) circulating in Latvia during the particular period of time.ConclusionsThese findings indicate that feline infection with SARS‐CoV‐2 occurred during the second wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic in Latvia, yet the overall prevalence was low. In addition, it seems like no special ‘cat’ pre‐adaptations were necessary for successful infection of cats by the common lineages of SARS‐CoV‐2.

AbstractIntroductionIt is important for the endoscopic thyroid surgeon to understand the pros and cons of trans‐oral endoscopic thyroidectomy‐vestibular approach (TOETVA) vis‐à‐vis, open conventional thyroidectomy (OTx) so he/she can help patients in making informed choices regarding the type of procedure to opt for. Swallowing related quality of life (SWAL‐QoL) has not been compared between the two approaches. Using a rigorous qualitative methodology and validated reliable tool, this study set out to compare the swallowing related quality of life in patients undergoing TOETVA versus OTx.MethodsProspective study at 3 time points in patients planned for hemithyroidectomy (Preoperative, 1 week and 12 weeks). Data were collected on patients at a tertiary teaching institute in India. Participants ranged from age 18–60 years with a diagnosis of benign euthyroid nodule undergoing hemithyroidectomy. Exclusion criteria were—(1) pre‐existing vocal cord abnormalities, (2) undergoing surgery for recurrent nodules, and (3) any neuro‐muscular disease affecting swallowing ability. Main outcome measure was comparison of swallowing related quality of life domain scores between patients undergoing hemithyroidectomy via either endoscopic trans‐oral or open approach.ResultsOf the 82 included patients, 40 underwent TOETVA and 42 OTx. Both the groups were comparable in terms of demographic and clinicopathological profile. The mean preoperative SWAL‐QOL scores were comparable in all domains. Mean SWAL‐QoL scores for all domains on postoperative day 7 were significantly better in TOETVA group with domains burden, eating desire, mental health and communication having medium effect sizes. Physical symptom domain was better in the OTx group but had a small effect size. The difference in SWAL‐QoL domains between the two groups persisted for 3 months also.ConclusionSwallowing related quality of life after trans‐oral endoscopic thyroidectomy compared to conventional open surgery has not been reported in the literature. Our findings suggest that trans‐oral endoscopic thyroidectomy results in significant superior swallowing related quality of life in the majority of domains.

AbstractThe central part of the Istrian Peninsula (Croatia) is the area of the Eocene flysch basin, i.e. “Gray Istria, which is prone to weathering and active geomorphological processes. The high erodibility of the Istrian marls led to the formation of steep barren slopes and badlands exceptionally susceptible to slope movements. This research presents the application of high-resolution remote sensing data, i.e., Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data and orthophoto images, for landform mapping at a large scale (1:500). Visual interpretation of remote sensing data was done for the pilot area (20 km2) near City of Buzet to produce detailed inventory maps for implementation in the spatial planning system. There is a lack of detailed inventory maps because systematic mapping was not performed for any part of Istria until the scientific research project LandSlidePlan (HRZZ IP-2019-04-9900), funded by the Croatian Science Foundation. After preliminary visual interpretation of LiDAR DTM and field verifications, it was concluded that four types of landforms could be mapped, i.e. badlands, gully and combined erosion, unstable slopes and landslides. The research objective is to show the representative examples and potential of direct and unambiguous identification and mapping of small and shallow landslides and soil erosion processes based on the visual interpretation of high-resolution remote sensing data in flysch-type rock.
Interactions between several types of cosmic strings
Authors: Fujikura Kohei , Li Siyao , Yamaguchi Masahide 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
We study the interaction of several types of static straight cosmic strings, including local strings, global strings, and bosonic superconducting strings with and without magnetic currents. First, we evaluate the interaction energy of two widely separated cosmic strings using the point source formalism and show that the most dominant contribution to the interaction energy comes from the excitation of the lightest mediator particles in a underlying theory. The interaction energy at arbitrary separation distances is then analyzed numerically by the gradient flow method. It turns out that an additional scalar field introduced in the bosonic superconducting string becomes an additional source of attraction. For such a bosonic superconducting string, we find that a string with two winding numbers is energetically favorable compared to two strings with a single winding number in a certain parameter region. Our analysis reveals that a phase structure of bosonic superconducting strings is richer than that of local and global strings and that the formation of bound states at intersections of bosonic superconducting strings is favored.
Factorization of non-global LHC observables and resummation of super-leading logarithms

Published: December 2023

Abstract
We present a systematic formalism based on a factorization theorem in soft-collinear effective theory to describe non-global observables at hadron colliders, such as gap-between-jets cross sections. The cross sections are factorized into convolutions of hard functions, capturing the dependence on the partonic center-of-mass energy $$ \sqrt{\hat{s}} $$

characteristic of the veto imposed on energetic emissions into the gap between the jets. The scale evolution of both objects is governed by a renormalization-group equation, which we derive at one-loop order. By solving the evolution equation for the hard functions for arbitrary 2 → M jet processes in the leading logarithmic approximation, we accomplish for the first time the all-order resummation of the so-called “super-leading logarithms” discovered in 2006, thereby solving an old problem of quantum field theory. We study the numerical size of the corresponding effects for different partonic scattering processes and explain why they are sizable for pp → 2 jets processes, but suppressed in H/Z and H/Z + jet production. The super-leading logarithms are given by an alternating series, whose individual terms can be much larger than the resummed result, even in very high orders of the loop expansion. Resummation is therefore essential to control these effects. We find that the asymptotic fall-off of the resummed series is much weaker than for standard Sudakov form factors.

is investigated at next to leading order in the heavy quark expansion. For mild cuts on the hadronic mass, the expansion, which applies when the cut is released, remains convergent. However, the cuts used at BaBar and Belle to reduce backgrounds from charged current semileptonic processes are too severe for a description in terms of matrix elements of local operators to apply. Strategies for interpolating between the two regions are discussed.
On the stability and deformability of top stars
Authors: Bianchi Massimo , Di Russo Giorgio , Grillo Alfredo , Morales Jose Francisco , Sudano Giuseppe 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Topological stars, or top stars for brevity, are smooth horizonless static solutions of Einstein-Maxwell theory in 5-d that reduce to spherically symmetric solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory in 4-d. We study linear scalar perturbations of top stars and argue for their stability and deformability. We tackle the problem with different techniques including WKB approximation, numerical analysis, Breit-Wigner resonance method and quantum Seiberg-Witten curves. We identify three classes of quasi-normal modes corresponding to prompt-ring down modes, long-lived meta-stable modes and what we dub ‘highly-damped’ modes. All mode frequencies we find have negative imaginary parts, thus suggesting linear stability of top stars. Moreover we determine the tidal Love and dissipation numbers encoding the response to tidal deformations and, similarly to black holes, we find zero value in the static limit but, contrary to black holes, we find non-trivial dynamical Love numbers and vanishing dissipative effects at linear order. For the sake of illustration in a simpler context, we also consider a toy model with a piece-wise constant potential and a centrifugal barrier that captures most of the above features in a qualitative fashion.
A stringy effect on Hawking radiation
Authors: Ho Pei-Ming , Imamura Yosuke , Kawai Hikaru , Shao Wei-Hsiang 
Published: December 2023

AbstractIn string theories, interactions are exponentially suppressed for trans-Planckian space-like external momenta. We study a class of quantum field theories that exhibit this feature modeled after Witten’s bosonic open string field theory, and discover a Lorentz-invariant UV/IR relation that leads to the spacetime uncertainty principle proposed by Yoneya. Application to a dynamical black hole background suggests that Hawking radiation is turned off around the scrambling time.
New non-supersymmetric flux vacua in string theory
Authors: Krippendorf S. , Schachner A. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In this note we construct large ensembles of supersymmetry breaking solutions arising in the context of flux compactifications of type IIB string theory. This class of solutions was previously proposed in [1] for which we provide the first explicit examples in Calabi-Yau orientifold compactifications with discrete fluxes below their respective tadpole constraint. As a proof of concept, we study the degree 18 hypersurface in weighted projective space $$ \mathbbm{CP} $$
CP
1,1,1,6,9. Furthermore, we look at 10 additional orientifolds with h1,2 = 2, 3. We find several flux vacua with hierarchical suppression of the vacuum energy with respect to the gravitino mass. These solutions provide a crucial stepping stone for the construction of explicit de Sitter vacua in string theory. Lastly, we also report the difference in the distribution of W0 between supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric minima.

Abstract
We derive an analytical expression for the contribution of the order mα2(Zα)6 to the hydrogen Lamb shift which comes from the diagrams for radiative corrections to the Wichmann-Kroll potential. We use modern methods of multiloop calculations, based on IBP reduction, DRA method and differential equations.

Abstract
Key message
CRISPR–Cas9-mediated disruption of a licorice cellulose synthase-derived glycosyltransferase gene, GuCSyGT, demonstrated the in planta role of GuCSyGT as the enzyme catalyzing 3-O-glucuronosylation of triterpenoid aglycones in soyasaponin biosynthesis.

Abstract
Triterpenoid glycosides (saponins) are a large, structurally diverse group of specialized metabolites in plants, including the sweet saponin glycyrrhizin produced by licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) and soyasaponins that occur widely in legumes, with various bioactivities. The triterpenoid saponin biosynthetic pathway involves the glycosylation of triterpenoid sapogenins (the non-sugar part of triterpenoid saponins) by glycosyltransferases (GTs), leading to diverse saponin structures. Previously, we identified a cellulose synthase-derived GT (CSyGT), as a newly discovered class of triterpenoid GT from G. uralensis. GuCSyGT expressed in yeast, which could transfer the sugar glucuronic acid to the C3 position of glycyrrhetinic acid and soyasapogenol B, which are the sapogenins of glycyrrhizin and soyasaponin I, respectively. This suggested that GuCSyGT is involved in the biosynthesis of glycyrrhizin and soyasaponin I. However, the in planta role of GuCSyGT in saponin biosynthesis remains unclear. In this study, we generated GuCSyGT-disrupted licorice hairy roots using CRISPR–Cas9-mediated genome editing and analyzed the saponin content. This revealed that soyasaponin I was completely absent in GuCSyGT-disrupted lines, demonstrating the in planta role of GuCSyGT in saponin biosynthesis.
