Abstract
Construction of the new all-silicon Inner Tracker (ITk), developed by the ATLAS collaboration to be
able to track charged particles produced at the High-Luminosity LHC, started in 2020 and is expected to
continue till 2028. The ITk detector will include 18,000 highly segmented and radiation hard n+-in-p
silicon strip sensors (ATLAS18), which are being manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics. Mechanical and electrical characteristics of produced sensors are measured upon their delivery at several institutes participating in a complex Quality Control (QC) program. The QC tests performed on each individual sensor check the overall integrity and quality of the sensor.
During the QC testing of ATLAS18 strip sensors, an increased number of sensors that
failed the electrical tests was observed. In particular, IV measurements indicated an early breakdown,
while large areas containing several tens or hundreds of neighbouring strips with low interstrip isolation
were identified by the Full strip tests, and leakage current instabilities were measured in a long-term leakage current stability setup. Moreover, a high surface electrostatic charge reaching a level of several hundreds of volts per inch was measured on a large number of sensors and on the plastic sheets, which
mechanically protect these sensors in their paper envelopes. Accumulated data indicates a clear
correlation between observed electrical failures and the sensor charge-up.
To mitigate the above-described issues, the QC testing sites significantly modified the sensor handling
procedures and introduced sensor recovery techniques based on irradiation of the sensor surface with UV
light or application of intensive flows of ionized gas. In this presentation, we will describe the setups
implemented by the QC testing sites to treat silicon strip sensors affected by static charge and
evaluate the effectiveness of these setups in terms of improvement of the sensor performance.
Introduction
Authors: Fasel Raffael N 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This introductory chapter lays the book’s foundation by explaining the topicality of the question of animal rights, outlining the book’s argument, and clarifying its methodology. Section 1 describes the recent trend towards extending fundamental rights to animals and the resistance this trend has faced from some human rights proponents. Section 2 introduces the book’s central argument—that fundamental legal rights should be granted to animals based on their species, not their individual capacities—and outlines the book’s historical, analytical, and practical contributions underpinning that argument. Section 3 contains clarifications regarding terminology, methodology, and focus. Finally, Section 4 gives an overview of the book’s structure.
Animal and Human Rights in the Enlightenment
Authors: Fasel Raffael N 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Arguments that animals should have fundamental rights are often believed to be a product of the late twentieth century. This chapter shows that they can in fact be traced to French Enlightenment debates in the eighteenth century, where they emerged in tension with human rights arguments. Giving rise to that tension were two partly conflicting streams of thinking that emerged at the time: naturalism (Section 2) and egalitarianism (Section 3). Section 4 unpacks the tension between animal and human rights by explaining how naturalists’ empirical focus challenged egalitarians’ positions on the equality of humans and their separateness from other species. Sections 5 and 6 then illustrate this tension by drawing on the naturalist writings of Jean-Claude Delamétherie, who made a pioneering proposal for animal rights, and the egalitarian Jean-Baptiste Salaville, who rejected this proposal on the ground that it would undermine human equality and rights. Section 7 concludes the chapter.
The Aristocratic Conception
Authors: Fasel Raffael N 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents the Aristocratic conception, the first of two antithetical fundamental rights conceptions analysed in the book. As Section 2 shows, Aristocratic thinking is reflected in important parts of human rights scholarship and practice. Section 3 focuses on the Aristocratic conception’s first characteristic feature—Equal Consideration—according to which human rights are considered entitlements that all humans have by birth, and which they possess equally and to the exclusion of all other beings. Section 4 analyses the conception’s second feature—Internalism—which explains that Aristocrats ‘found’ human rights, equality, and dignity on normative decisions, stories, or interpretations rather than on facts about human nature. Finally, Section 5 discusses the strengths and weaknesses of this approach.
Meritocratizing the Aristocracy
Authors: Fasel Raffael N 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Moving to the ramifications of the spectrum of fundamental rights conceptions, this chapter makes the case that the best way forward is to achieve a practical middle ground between the Aristocratic and Meritocratic conceptions. Because current legal systems are too Aristocratic, the chapter argues that, to reach that middle ground, it is necessary to ‘Meritocratize’ these legal systems, and it shows how this can be done. Section 2 explains why I propose a middle ground as the best practical, rather than theoretical, way forward, and why a Meritocratization is necessary to get us there. Section 3 then explores two different avenues that can be pursued to bring about such a Meritocratization: changing animals’ legal status as property, and extending certain fundamental rights to them.

Authors: Shi Luning , Wei Wenfei , Smith Adam , Abbasi Ghalib 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Purpose
This study aimed to compare the impact of an electronic health record (EHR)–integrated perpetual inventory management system (EIMS) versus a traditional inventory management system (TIMS) on inventory accuracy, visibility, and turnover in a large academic tertiary hospital.

Methods
The quasi-experimental study was conducted over 12 months (a 6-month preimplementation period and a 6-month postimplementation period, with an 11-month washout period) at Houston Methodist Hospital. The EIMS was implemented following the use of a TIMS. A total of 114 matched inventory items from both systems were identified and compared. The primary outcome was inventory accuracy, calculated as cycle count accuracy. The secondary outcomes were inventory visibility and monthly inventory turnover rate.

Results
Analysis demonstrated a 6.02% absolute increase in inventory accuracy (P &lt; 0.001) with use of the EIMS versus the TIMS. After adjusting for inflation, there was an increase in the captured cost of goods sold from $4.16 million to $5.16 million. The monthly inventory value, adjusted for inflation in the prices of studied inventory items, increased from $2.05 million to $2.33 million. The monthly inventory turnover rate increased from 2.03 to 2.23 turns per month (P = 0.305) when comparing data for the pre- and postimplementation periods. Inventory visibility increased from 133 inventory items to 264 inventory items after EIMS implementation, indicating a 98% visibility increase compared to preimplementation levels.

Conclusion
This study found that implementing an EIMS significantly increased pharmacy inventory accuracy and inventory visibility, which are essential for optimizing patient care and pharmacy financial management.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
Laser hair removal (LHR) is one of the most requested cosmetic procedures worldwide. A rare side effect is the appearance of excess hair around previously treated areas, known as paradoxical hypertrichosis.

Objectives
The aim of this study was to retrospectively identify the cause of this side effect.

Methods
This study included all patients who underwent LHR at our center between November 2018 and November 2020. Alexandrite laser hair removal (HR) or diode laser super hair removal (SHR) was performed in 70% and 30% of cases, respectively. Clinical features and daily habits of patients with and without postlaser hypertrichosis were compared.

Results
Of the 7381 patients who received LHR, 25 patients (0.34%) demonstrated an increase in hair growth compared to baseline. Of these 25 patients, 24 had been treated with alexandrite laser HR (P &lt; .01). The most common site was the upper arm, followed by the periareolar area. Daily sun protection was associated with a significantly lower incidence of hypertrichosis (P &lt; .05), as was confirmed and shown to be independent of Fitzpatrick skin type by binary logistic regression analysis (odds ratio = 0.41, P &lt; .05).

Conclusions
In our clinic, we observed paradoxical hypertrichosis after laser hair removal in a small minority of cases, as described by others. We did not observe differences in incidence related to skin type, but daily sun protection and LHR with diode laser SHR were associated with significant reductions in incidence rates. In addition to previously reported common sites, we also identified the periareolar area as a high-risk region.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation on the right dorsal attention network modulates the center-surround profile of the attentional focus

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Psychophysical observations indicate that the spatial profile of visuospatial attention includes a central enhancement around the attentional focus, encircled by a narrow zone of reduced excitability in the immediate surround. This inhibitory ring optimally amplifies relevant target information, likely stemming from top-down frontoparietal recurrent activity modulating early visual cortex activations. However, the mechanisms through which neural suppression gives rise to the surrounding attenuation and any potential hemispheric specialization remain unclear. We used transcranial magnetic stimulation to evaluate the role of two regions of the dorsal attention network in the center-surround profile: the frontal eye field and the intraparietal sulcus. Participants performed a psychophysical task that mapped the entire spatial attentional profile, while transcranial magnetic stimulation was delivered either to intraparietal sulcus or frontal eye field on the right (Experiment 1) and left (Experiment 2) hemisphere. Results showed that stimulation of right frontal eye field and right intraparietal sulcus significantly changed the center-surround profile, by widening the inhibitory ring around the attentional focus. The stimulation on the left frontal eye field, but not left intraparietal sulcus, induced a general decrease in performance but did not alter the center-surround profile. Results point to a pivotal role of the right dorsal attention network in orchestrating inhibitory spatial mechanisms required to limit interference by surrounding distractors.
Enhanced group-level dorsolateral prefrontal cortex subregion parcellation through functional connectivity-based distance-constrained spectral clustering with application to autism spectrum disorder

Published: February 2024

Abstract
The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) assumes a central role in cognitive and behavioral control, emerging as a crucial target region for interventions in autism spectrum disorder neuroregulation. Consequently, we endeavor to unravel the functional subregions within the DLPFC to shed light on the intricate functions of the brain. We introduce a distance-constrained spectral clustering (SC-DW) methodology that leverages functional connection to identify distinctive functional subregions within the DLPFC. Furthermore, we verify the relationship between the functional characteristics of these subregions and their clinical implications. Our methodology begins with principal component analysis to extract the salient features. Subsequently, we construct an adjacency matrix, which is constrained by the spatial properties of the brain, by linearly combining the distance matrix and a similarity matrix. The quality of spectral clustering is further optimized through multiple cluster evaluation coefficient. The results from SC-DW revealed four uniform and contiguous subregions within the bilateral DLPFC. Notably, we observe a substantial positive correlation between the functional characteristics of the third and fourth subregions in the left DLPFC with clinical manifestations. These findings underscore the unique insights offered by our proposed methodology in the realms of brain subregion delineation and therapeutic targeting.
Romantic relationships attenuated competition between lovers: evidence from brain synchronization

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Competition is an essential component of social interaction and is influenced by interpersonal relationships. This study is based on social exchange theory and explores the relationship between brain synchronization and competition in the binary system of romantic relationships through electroencephalogram hyperscanning technology. The results found that females had a greater win rate in the romantic and friend groups. During the early stage (0–200 ms), when the competitive target appeared, the stranger group exhibited greater interbrain synchronicity in the Alpha frequency band. However, during the later stage (600–800 ms), the romantic group showed higher Alpha band interbrain synchrony when the competitive target appeared. Significant interbrain synchronizations were observed in the Theta frequency band of the stranger and friend groups at 400–600 ms and 800–1000 ms. Moreover, these interbrain synchronizations were significantly positively correlated with the winning rates of females in the competition. These findings suggest a close relationship between interpersonal coordination and interbrain synchronization. Furthermore, romantic relationships reduce participants’ willingness to compete, affecting their attention regulation, emotional processing, and goal orientation, thus influencing competition. This study investigated the impact of romantic relationships on competition, providing a theoretical foundation for promoting the positive and healthy development of romantic relationships.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
We introduce a combined fast semi-empirical quantum mechanical and machine learning (SQM/ML) approach capable of matching the C–H bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) computed with the highly accurate (RO)CBS-QB3 method. The usefulness of our proposed SQM/ML model is corroborated by the fact that a single C–H BDE of a molecule is calculated in seconds and the mean absolute error amounts to only 1 to 2 kcal/mol.
Multimodal Sentiment Analysis Based on Composite Hierarchical Fusion
Authors: Lei Yu , Qu Keshuai , Zhao Yifan , Han Qing , Wang Xuguang 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In the field of multimodal sentiment analysis, it is an important research task to fully extract modal features and perform efficient fusion. In response to the problems of insufficient semantic information and poor cross-modal fusion effect of traditional sentiment classification models, this paper proposes a composite hierarchical feature fusion method combined with prior knowledge. Firstly, the ALBERT (A Lite BERT) model and the improved ResNet model are constructed for feature extraction of text and image, respectively, and high-dimensional feature vectors are obtained. Secondly, to solve the problem of insufficient semantic information expression in cross-scene, a prior knowledge enhancement model is proposed to enrich the data characteristics of each modality. Finally, to solve the problem of poor cross-modal fusion effect, a composite hierarchical fusion model is proposed, which combines the temporal convolutional network and the attention mechanism to fuse the sequence features of each modality information and realizes the information interaction between different modalities. Experiments on MVSA-Single and MVSA-Multi datasets show that the proposed model is superior to a series of comparison models and has good adaptability in new scenarios.
Extending the social cohesion hypothesis: is group social structure associated with dispersal in yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventer)?
Authors: Schneidman Sara A , Philson Conner S , Blumstein Daniel T 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Dispersal is an important individual decision which may influence individual fitness as well as population viability. The social cohesion hypothesis posits more social individuals remain at home, which is supported by prior work across taxa. However, how the sociality and connectivity of the group an individual resides in—their group social structure—relates to dispersal decisions has not been explored. We extend the social cohesion hypothesis to predict individuals residing in more social groups would remain at home, and we quantified the affiliative and agonistic social network structure of female yellow-bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventer), a facultatively social ground-dwelling squirrel, where about half of all females disperse. Using mixed-effects models, we found no support for the hypothesis that affiliative group structure explained any variation in a marmot’s decision to disperse. We did find marmots in groups with less agonistic centralization (around one or few individuals) were less likely to disperse. The former finding may result from limited ability to perceive group structure whereas the latter may reflect individuals in less agonistically centralized groups are less likely to be reproductively suppressed. These results suggest individual dispersal decisions are more impacted by individual sociality and not that of their social group. Thus, the social cohesion hypothesis may not scale to the level of the group. Further work is required to determine whether dispersal decisions in obligately social species are influenced by group social structure.
Wonder symphony: epigenetics and the enchantment of the arts

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Epigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene expression without altering the DNA sequence, has gained significant attention due to its implications for gene regulation and chromatin stability. Epigenetic mechanisms play a fundamental role in gene–environment interactions, shaping individual development and adaptation. DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs are key epigenetic regulators. Epigenetic changes can be triggered by environmental factors, including stress, toxins, and social interactions, influencing health and well-being. Positive experiences, such as engagement with the arts, have been linked to emotional responses and neurotransmitter release. While the impacts of detrimental factors on epigenetics have been widely studied, the effects of positive influences are less explored. Specifically, visual art and music have profound effects on emotions, cognition, and mood regulation. Exposure to arts enhances memory, reduces stress, and fosters social inclusion. Recent research has begun to explore the links between positive experiences and epigenetic modifications, suggesting that aesthetic experiences, including visual art and music fruition, might induce dynamic and/or stable changes in gene expression profiles. However, this field is in its infancy, and more research is needed to establish clear connections. Collaborative efforts among genetics, epigenetics, neuroscience, psychology, and the arts are essential for a comprehensive understanding. Longitudinal studies tracking sustained exposure to positive experiences and examining the influence of childhood artistic education on the biological bases of therapeutic effects of art and music are promising avenues for future research. Ultimately, understanding how positive experiences influence epigenetics could provide insights into the long-term enhancement of human well-being.
Making Policies Matter: Voter Responses to Campaign Promises

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Can voters in clientelist countries be swayed by programmatic promises? Results from a structural model and a field experiment disseminating candidate policy platforms in Philippine mayoral elections indicate that they can. Voters who received information about candidate policy promises were more likely to vote for candidates who were closer to their own preferences. Voters who were informed about incumbent candidates’ past commitments were more likely to vote for incumbents who fulfilled them. The structural model uncovers mechanisms. Information about campaign promises increases policies’ salience relative to other voter concerns; it also affects voter beliefs about candidate quality and candidates’ platforms.
