Non-contact estimation of equivalent mechanical properties using the transient vibration response induced by an acoustic radiation force
Authors: Otani Motoi , Nomura Hideyuki 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study aimed to verify a non-contact method for estimating equivalent mechanical parameters using the transient vibration response induced by the step-functional acoustic radiation force of focused ultrasound. First, the vibration distribution of a silicone rubber plate excited by an acoustic radiation force was measured. The results revealed that the vibration-excited area was larger than the beam size and dependent on the characteristics of the material. The equivalent mass, mechanical compliance, and mechanical resistance were estimated based on the mode frequencies, time constants of vibration decay, and maximum velocity amplitudes obtained from the transient vibration response. The estimation showed qualitative agreement with the expected trends corresponding to changes in the thickness of the rubber plate. These findings suggest that our method is effective for estimating equivalent mechanical parameters of objects, although challenges remain regarding spatial resolution.
Rapid amplitude control of high-power ultrasonic transducers using deep reinforcement learning

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Rapid response control of ultrasonic transducers is crucial for applications such as welding, machining, aeronautics, and semiconductor manufacturing. Traditional control methods, using voltage amplitude and frequency adjustments, perform well but often require complex circuitry to adjust the voltage, making them less practical. This study proposes a quick and accurate method for controlling current amplitude through frequency adjustments using deep reinforcement learning (DRL). The system was trained to adjust the frequency based on real-time feedback of the current states. Experimental validation with a Langevin transducer shows that the DRL system achieves near-optimal performance with faster and robuster response than PID control, effectively managing nonlinearities such as hysteresis and the jump phenomena. Future research may include extending this approach to multi-mode transducers and enhancing robustness to external condition change. These findings underscore the DRL system’s potential as a practical alternative to conventional methods, in managing the complex nonlinearity of high-power ultrasonic transducers.

Background: Cytomegalovirus prophylaxis in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is limited by post-transplant neutropenia and leukopenia (PTN/PTL). Despite its clinical significance, the healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) related to PTN/PTL remains poorly characterized. Objective: To evaluate HCRU among KTRs taking valganciclovir during their first year post-transplant. Methods: Using TriNetX Dataworks-USA, a federated, de-identified electronic medical record database, we identified adult KTRs who underwent their first kidney transplant from January 2012 to September 2020. All eligible patients were followed for 1 year. PTN/PTL was defined as absolute neutrophil count less than 1000/μL or white blood cell count less than 3500/μL. Multivariable logistic/Poisson regression models were used to assess the association between PTN/PTL and various HCRU types. Results: A total of 8791 KTRs were identified, of whom 6219 (70.7%) developed PTN/PTL at a mean of 5.7 months post-transplantation. Hospitalizations, rehospitalizations, emergency room visits, outpatient appointments, packed red blood cell transfusions, and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor administration were more prevalent among KTRs with PTN/PTL (61.1% vs 49.5%, 24.5% vs 14.1%, 35.2% vs 28.9%, 30.4 vs 26.2 visits, 22.3% vs 17.6%, 23.4% vs 2.2%, respectively; P < .001). Adjusted analyses confirmed that PTN/PTL correlated with increased HCRU across all categories. Conclusions: KTRs who developed PTN/PTL had significantly higher HCRU. Further studies are needed to evaluate strategies addressing PTN/PTL for KTRs.

Published: January 2025

AimBladder disorders are one of the most troubling symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which impact patients quality of life (QoL). Therefore the aim of this pilot study was to assess this problem.Material and methods47 patients (28 females and 19 males, aged 40,8±12,2 years; EDSS 3,2±1,9) diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) during disease modifying treatment (DMT) were enrolled to our study. Patients were asked to fill 8-item Actionable Bladder Symptoms Screening Tool (ABSST), Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory (MSQLI) and King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ).ResultsBladder problems were reported by 24/47 (51%) of patients, but only 7/24 (36,8%) were treated. The results of ABSST (2,3±1,5) and Incontinence Impact (II) domain of KHQ (40,3±20,5) indicated influence of the bladder disorders on patients QoL. Besides bladder control, the most important impact on QoL from MSQLI are fatigue and mental health issiues.ConclusionsBladder symptoms in MS have significant impact on patients QoL, and therefore should be a part of clinical evaluation and must be actively treated.
Nancy Seear and the Investigation of Women’s Employment
Authors: Milner Susan 
Published: January 2025

An important figure in twentieth-century British politics, Beatrice (Nancy) Seear’s principal legacy is her contribution to ensuring the passage of equal pay and sex discrimination legislation, first as an academic and adviser to the Ministry of Labour and then as a Liberal life peer (appointed in 1971). She led a remarkable life combining academic work at the London School of Economics, policy influence, and political leadership. Through her research on the organization of work in industry, which was informed by her experience as a personnel manager, she helped to found personnel management as a distinct field of study, and she made a significant contribution to the professionalization of its practice by teaching cohorts of practitioners and leading professional associations.
This article reappraises Seear’s work in light of recent critiques of the gendered nature of industrial relations research and of the continuing struggle for pay equality. The work of pioneering women social scientists has recently enjoyed renewed attention as feminists seek to uncover hidden lives and challenge masculine bias.
The British Labour Movement’s Involvement in West Indian Labour Struggles, 1934–39: Revolutionaries and Reformers
Authors: Seifert Roger 
Published: January 2025

This article examines the interactions between the British labour movement and those West Indian workers, trade-unionists, and socialists involved in the wave of strikes and riots that engulfed the region from 1934 to 1939. It focuses on the English-speaking Caribbean, covering eight countries – St Lucia, St Vincent, British Honduras, Trinidad, Barbados, British Guiana, St Kitts, and Jamaica. The disputes are examined through local contemporary reports and subsequent studies.
The labour movement in the UK, meanwhile, was focused on the ravages of mass unemployment, the rise of fascism, wars in Spain, Manchuria, and Abyssinia, and the debates over protectionism and rearmament. Some of the deeply rooted attitudes towards the colonies, colonial workers, and the empire more generally within the ranks of labour are explored. These continue to raise sharp questions of the role of the British working class and their organizations (parties, unions, pressure groups) over the legacy of imperialism and racism.

Abstract
We present the stellar metallicities and multielement abundances (C, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, and Fe) of 15 massive (log M/M
⊙ = 10.2–11.2) quiescent galaxies at z = 1–3, derived from ultradeep JWST-SUSPENSE spectra. Compared to quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 0, these galaxies exhibit a deficiency of 0.26 ± 0.04 dex in [C/H], 0.16 ± 0.03 dex in [Fe/H], and 0.07 ± 0.04 dex in [Mg/H], implying rapid formation and quenching before significant enrichment from asymptotic giant branch stars and Type Ia supernovae. Additionally, we find that galaxies forming at higher redshift consistently show higher [Mg/Fe] and lower [Fe/H] and [Mg/H], regardless of their observed redshift. The evolution in [Fe/H] and [C/H] is therefore primarily driven by lower-redshift samples naturally including galaxies with longer star formation timescales. In contrast, the lower [Mg/H] likely reflects earlier-forming galaxies expelling larger gas reservoirs during their quenching phase. Consequently, the mass–metallicity relation, primarily reflecting [Mg/H], is somewhat lower at z = 1–3 compared to the lower-redshift relation. Finally, we compare our results to standard stellar population modeling approaches employing solar abundance patterns and nonparametric star formation histories (using Prospector). Our simple stellar population (SSP)-equivalent ages agree with the mass-weighted ages from Prospector, while the metallicities disagree significantly. Nonetheless, the metallicities better reflect [Fe/H] than total [Z/H]. We also find that the star formation timescales inferred from elemental abundances are significantly shorter than those from Prospector, and we discuss the resulting implications for the early formation of massive galaxies.

Abstract
JWST has enabled detecting and spatially resolving the heavily dust-attenuated stellar populations of submillimeter galaxies, revealing detail that was previously inaccessible. In this work, we construct a sample of 289 submillimeter galaxies with joint Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and JWST constraints in the COSMOS field. Sources are originally selected using the SCUBA-2 instrument and have archival ALMA observations from various programs. Their JWST NIRCam imaging is from COSMOS-Web and PRIMER. We extract multiwavelength photometry in a manner that leverages the unprecedented near-infrared (NIR) spatial resolution of JWST, and we fit the data with spectral energy distribution models to derive photometric redshifts, stellar masses, star formation rates, and optical attenuation. The sample has an average

Abstract
Recently, the LHAASO Collaboration has provided precise measurements of the cosmic rays (CRs) all-particle energy spectrum and mean logarithmic mass

ln
A

from 0.3 to 30 PeV. Combining the CR measurements by AMS-02 and DAMPE in space and those by LHAASO and Auger on the ground, we construct a model to recover all these measurements from tens of GeV to tens of EeV. We find that the LHAASO measurement is crucial in the model construction by connecting the Galactic component to the extragalactic component. The precise measurements of CR spectra for individual species by AMS-02 and DAMPE together with the newest LHAASO results clearly indicate three Galactic CR components, that is, a soft low-energy background, a hard high-energy component, and a local source contribution. However, the LHAASO data show that above ∼1016 eV, a nonnegligible extra component, possibly of extragalactic origin, must be included. Combining the Auger results and the LHAASO results, we figure out the extragalactic CRs that need at least two components at lower and higher energies. Thanks to the measurements by LHAASO, the constraints on the model parameters are quite stringent. The spectrum features and mass measurements in all energy ranges are all well reproduced in the model.

Abstract
We analyze high-resolution observations of an X-1.0 white-light flare, triggered by a filament eruption, on 2022 October 2. The full process of filament formation and subsequent eruption was captured in the Hα passband by the Visible Imaging Spectrograph (VIS) on board the Goode Solar Telescope (GST) within its center field of view. White-light emissions appear in flare ribbons following the filament eruption and Hα ribbon brightening. GST Broadband Filter Imager data show that the continuum intensity, as compared to the nearby quiet-Sun area, has increased by up to 20% in the photospheric TiO band around 7057 Å. The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory reported 10% contrast enhancement in the continuum near Fe i 6173 Å line. The separation motion of two white-light kernels is recorded by the high-cadence GST/TiO images and is well accompanied by the motion of the VIS Hα flare ribbon leading edge. One kernel, located in a 150 Gauss field within a granulation area, exhibited an average apparent motion speed of 55 km s−1, which is the highest average speed ever reported. The other kernel drifted at 9 km s−1 in an 800 Gauss magnetic field area. Hard X-ray (HXR) emissions reaching up to 300 keV have been observed for this flare. The simultaneous occurrence of high-cadence HXR, microwave, and white-light emissions strongly suggests that the energetic particles from the flare directly contribute to the heating. The inverted HXR energy flux density corresponding to 10% TiO brightening is 2.07 ± 0.23 × 1011 erg cm−2 s−1 during the flare peak.

West Africa is exceptionally biodiverse, yet its wildlife remains largely understudied despite the rapid and ongoing land-use changes. Large swaths of Guinea-Bissau’s landscape were historically characterized by native forest-savanna mosaics. However, key areas of savannah habitats have been converted to rice agroecosystems, and forests are being transformed into cashew monocultures at unprecedented rates. Amphibians and reptiles comprise some of the most threatened species by human-induced habitat change and yet are not as studied as other vertebrate terrestrial taxa. Here, we provide two comprehensive datasets on amphibians and reptiles (classes Testudines and Squamata) from northern Guinea-Bissau: (1) a standardized survey dataset (encompassing sampling events and occurrences) in forest fragments, cashew orchards, and rice paddies, and (2) an opportunistic dataset reporting occurrences across the entire study area. Standardized surveys were carried across 21 sampling sites, seven in each habitat type, while opportunistic surveys include all other records. For standardized surveys, a total of 703 amphibian and 265 reptile (class Squamata) encounters are reported, corresponding to nine and 13 taxa, respectively. Opportunistically, we report 62 amphibian and 93 reptile encounters, corresponding to 10 amphibian taxa, 25 Squamata taxa, and two turtles (class Testudines).
Based on 126 sampling hours of both diurnal and nocturnal standardized surveys, in addition to opportunistic surveys, these datasets comprise the first overview for amphibians and reptiles in mainland Guinea-Bissau across two seasons and different habitat types. Each of the 968 standardized and 155 opportunistic occurrences corresponds to a genus or species and is accompanied by geographic coordinates, a timestamp, and, for standardized data, the land-use type. The datasets fill the distribution gaps in Guinea-Bissau of at least three species, including the frog Hildebrandtia ornata, the skink Trachylepis keroanensis, and the snake Dendroaspis polylepis – and include the rediscovery of the lizard Latastia ornata in Guinea-Bissau. Before this work, the L. ornata was only known from the 1938 holotype in Bafatá (ca. 60 km away from the study area) and, in 2023, from Guinea-Conakry (ca. 700 km away from the type specimen location).
Musiques et chants des combattants français des fronts de l’Atlantique, 1944-1945
Authors: Weiss Stéphane 
Published: January 2025

Au cours de la Seconde guerre mondiale, la libération de la France ne se résuma pas au débarquement de Normandie puis à la libération de Paris. Loin du front principal, la guerre se prolongea jusqu’en mai 1945 autour de réduits allemands jalonnant la façade maritime française, du Médoc à la Bretagne et à Dunkerque. Dès l’automne 1944, l’évocation de ces poches de l’Atlantique s’est fréquemment résumée en une expression : celle de fronts oubliés. Pour les combattants français et alliés concernés, l’heure fut à l’attente durant de longs mois, pendant lesquels l’ennui et la démoralisation furent aussi craints que l’adversaire. Le fait est qu’ils chantèrent pour s’occuper ou chasser les doutes.Que chantèrent-ils ? Cet article propose de se pencher sur leurs répertoires et leur contexte d’emploi ou de production. Il mobilise deux sources singulières : cinq bulletins édités sur les fronts charentais et la collection de chants de 1939-1945 réunie par le musicologue Paul Arma. Ces chants se sont pour la plupart inscrits dans une pratique immémoriale : le détournement d’airs connus en y plaquant de nouvelles paroles. Considérer ces chants permet d’élargir le spectre d’étude des poches de l’Atlantique, en s’ouvrant à une histoire sociale, dans la marginalité relative d’un espace où la guerre perdurait tandis que le pays alentour avait déjà recouvré la liberté.

L’abbaye Saint-Sulpice, qui s’élevait hors les murs de Bourges (Cher), à la confluence de tous les cours d’eau berruyers, est à l’origine de nombreux aménagements liés au contrôle et à la maîtrise de l’eau (fossés, ponts, pont-canal, moulins, écluses, pêcheries, etc.). Son bourg, dont l’extension maximale est atteinte au début du xvie s., se développe avec et autour de l’eau.Cette contribution propose ainsi de présenter l’interaction entre l’abbaye, son bourg et le site de la confluence durant un large bas Moyen Âge en s’appuyant sur des sources archéologiques et principalement archivistiques, compilées dans la base de données relationnelles et géoréférencées de Bourges et ses alentours, La Berruyère.Ce travail collaboratif, axé sur le dépouillement de sources primaires et le géoréférencement des entités topo-historiques structurantes, permet ainsi d’appréhender spatialement les terres relevant de l’abbaye en proposant une cartographie de la juridiction de Saint-Sulpice, des anciens cours d’eau, de leurs moulins et du tissu urbain du bourg.

Published: January 2025

Background and aim
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in childhood. Impaired salivary gland function has been previously reported in children with JIA. Our study explores the possible subclinical lesions of major salivary glands in children with JIA by musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) and correlates the findings with disease activity and inflammatory indices.

Patients and methods
Major salivary glands of 28 children with JIA (according to International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria) and 20 healthy controls were evaluated by ultrasound. The findings were correlated with other disease parameters. Ages of participants ranged from 5 to 16 years, with a mean of 11.04± 2.968 years and 33 (68.75%) participants were females.

Results
According to the Grey-scale score, there were 16 (57.1%) patients with normal parenchyma (grade 0), four (14.3%) patients with minimal change (grade 1), two (7.1%) patients with moderate change (grade 2), and six (21.4%) patients with severe change (grade 3). Power Doppler signal has been detected in the submandibular glands of only two patients with systemic-onset JIA. No abnormality has been detected in the healthy control group. There was a significant positive correlation between Grey-scale total score with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0.694, P<0.001), juvenile arthritis disease activity score (r=0.713, P<0.001), and parents’ disease assessment (r=0.678, P<0.003).

Conclusion
Ultrasound detected subclinical salivary gland abnormalities are frequent in JIA patients and are associated with disease activity. However, more studies are needed to support these preliminary results.
