On some new black hole, wormhole and naked singularity solutions in the free Dirac–Born–Infeld theory
Authors: Gregoris Daniele 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we present some new static and spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein equation in which the matter sector is accounted for by a free Dirac–Born–Infeld field. Our novel spacetimes can describe either a black hole, a wormhole, or a naked singularity depending on certain boundary conditions. By tracking the dynamical gravitational collapse, we enlighten the importance of the isotropy of the pressure for having an horizon as a result, as required by the Cosmic Censorship Conjecture. Our new spacetime solutions, the amount of exotic matter, its “complexity”, and the equation of state along the tangential direction are analytical and written in closed forms. We identify a taming of the breaking of the null energy condition, customary for wormhole spacetimes in General Relativity, along both the radial and tangential direction. We assess the astrophysical applicability and perform a comparative analysis between our solutions and other literature ones, by identifying an ISO-like density profile of the matter field, which provides a flattening of the rotation curves, by discussing the motion of test particles, and the shadow properties. In our model, those effects are interpreted as a manifestation of a topological defect, and since they can observationally mimic the signatures of other spacetimes, a study of the perturbations is performed within the quasi-normal modes formalism. Having identified the Reissner–Nordström-like quasi-resonance, our paper is intended also to provide some insights on which combinations of background and perturbation properties should be observed, for claiming the nature of astrophysical compact objects.

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate the shadows and rings of the charged Horndeski black hole illuminated by accretion flow that is both geometrically and optically thin. We consider two types of accretion models: spherical and thin-disk accretion flow. We find that in both types of models, the size of the charged Horndeski black hole shadow decreases with the increase of the charge, and it decreases more slowly for the Reissner–Nordström (RN) black hole. In the spherical accretion flow model, we find that the increase of the charge of Horndeski black hole brightens the light ring around it, and it brightens more significantly in comparison with RN black hole. Due to the Doppler effect, the charged Horndeski black holes with accretion flow of radial motion have darker shadows than those with the static accretion flow, but the size of the shadow is not affected by accretion flow motion. In the thin disk-shaped accretion flow model, we find that the brightness of the light ring around the charged Horndeski black hole is dominated by the direct emission from the accretion flow, and the contribution from lensed rings is relatively small, and that from the photon rings is negligible. We also find that the ring brightness decreases as the charge of Horndeski black hole increases, and the decrease is more significant than that in the RN black hole case. Moreover, the radiation position of the accretion flow can affect the shadow size and the ring brightness of the charged Horndeski black hole.
Falsifiable analog model predictions of W mass in CDF II and ATLAS
Authors: Pfeifer R. N. C. 
Published: November 2023

The CDF II measurement of [Formula: see text] boson mass is at significant ([Formula: see text]) tension with the Standard Model, and moderate ([Formula: see text]) tension with recent results from ATLAS. Any attempt to interpret this as a signature of new physics requires high-precision, robust, falsifiable predictions. The Classical Analogue to the Standard Model In pseudo-Riemannian space–time (CASMIR) is an analogue model predicting [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] boson masses of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. During baryon collisions satisfying [Formula: see text], CASMIR predicts a color-mediated enhancement of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] boson masses, becoming [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. The unenhanced masses are consistent with ATLAS data collected at [Formula: see text], and the enhanced masses are consistent with CDF II data collected at [Formula: see text]. According to CASMIR, operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at center-of-mass energies small compared with [Formula: see text] but large enough for [Formula: see text] boson formation should permit ATLAS to replicate the result from CDF II.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group. A subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called Hall normally embedded in [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] is a Hall subgroup of the normal closure [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we fix a subgroup [Formula: see text] of Sylow subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and study the structure of [Formula: see text] under the assumption that all subgroups [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] are Hall normally embedded in [Formula: see text].

Published: November 2023

Objective: To investigate the effect of pelvic floor electromyography Biofeedback and “four sacral needles” on pelvic floor muscle strength and quality of life in mild to moderate female stress Urinary incontinence (UI) patients. Methods: A total of 96 patients with mild to moderate female stress UI who were treated in Qingpu District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2021 to May 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and a test group, with 48 cases in each group. The control group was given pelvic floor myoelectric stimulation combined with Biofeedback, and the treatment group was given “four sacral needles” on the basis of the control group. Record the Glazer electromyography assessment and 1-hour urine pad test leakage at weeks 0, 4, and 8 of treatment, and compare the therapeutic differences between the two groups. Result: Compared with before treatment, after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, the Glazer evaluation and 1 h urine pad test leakage in both groups were significantly reduced ([Formula: see text]), and the experimental group had better indicators than the control group at 4 and 8 weeks of treatment ([Formula: see text]). The total effective rate of the experimental group was 97.7%, significantly higher than the control group’s 90.9% ([Formula: see text]). Conclusion: Pelvic floor electromyography Biofeedback combined with “four sacral needles” and simple pelvic floor electromyography Biofeedback is effective for women with mild to moderate stress UI. Pelvic floor electromyography Biofeedback combined with “four sacral needles” is superior to simple pelvic floor Biofeedback in the treatment of mild to moderate stress UI.

Published: November 2023

The intention of the current work was to develop and optimize the formulation of biodegradable polymeric nanocapsules for lamivudine (LMV) in order to obtain desired physical characteristics so as to have improved liver targetability. Nanocapsules were prepared in this study as aqueous-core nanocapsules (ACNs) with poly(lactide-co-glycolide) using a modified multiple emulsion technique. LMV was taken as a model drug to investigate the potential of ACNs developed in this work in achieving the liver targetability. Three formulations factors were chosen and 33 factorial design was adopted. The selected formulation factors were optimized statistically so as to have the anticipated characteristics of the ACNs viz. maximum entrapment efficiency, minimum particle size, and less drug release rate constant. The optimized LMV-ACNs were found to have 71.54 ± 1.93% of entrapment efficiency and 288.36 ± 2.53 nm of particle size with zeta potential of −24.7 ± 1.2 mV and 0.095 ± 0.006 h−1 of release rate constant. This optimized formulation was subjected to surface modification by treating with sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), which increased the zeta potential to a maximum of −41.6 ± 1.3 mV at a 6 mM concentration of SLS. The results of in vivo pharmacokinetics from blood and liver tissues indicated that hepatic bioavailability of LMV was increased from 13.78 ± 3.48 μg/mL

Dogs in Dutch Media: Exploring Public Opinion As A Step Toward Solving Dog Welfare Problems
Authors: Ophorst Susan , Aarts Noelle , Bovenkerk Bernice , Hopster Hans 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Dogs are considered humans’ best friend, but this relationship is not all puppies and sunshine. Zoonoses, biting incidents, hereditary problems, and other welfare issues can threaten the relationship, especially when humans are not aware of them. Public opinion on dogs in the densely populated Netherlands was therefore examined. Dutch newspapers and Facebook were analyzed with frame analysis. A positive view of dogs seems predominant, followed by one that sees dogs as normal, while problems with dogs are less common. That dogs are considered close to humans is exemplified by the found norms that the needs of dogs must be met, that severe penalties must be applied when humans do not respect the welfare of dogs, and that dog keepers and conditions are responsible for problems with dogs. The image of the dog as ordinary may hinder public awareness, despite the norms that emphasize the importance of dog welfare.
Sachsia putridicola n. sp. (Rhabditida: Diplogastridae), isolated from an Onthophagus dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) from Tsukuba, Japan
Authors: Kanzaki Natsumi , Degawa Yousuke 
Published: November 2023

Summary
An undescribed Sachsia species (Diplogastridae) was isolated from a dung beetle, Onthophagus sp. cf. atripennis, and the species is described here as Sachsia putridicola n. sp. The new species is characterised by its cheilostom; anterior part forming a cuticular ring, posterior part in the form of a thin-walled tube; an anisotopic gymnostom, a metastegostom with dorsal small tooth and no subventral armature, and setiform male genital papillae with the arrangement <v1d, v2, v3/v4, ad, ph, v5-7, pd>. Sachsia putridicola n. sp. is typologically similar to two previously described congeners, Sachsia zurstrasseni and Sachsia postpapillata, but can be readily distinguished by its anisotopic gymnostom (vs isotopic gymnostom in the two nominal species) and the direction of the anterior three pairs of genital papillae, which are directed sublaterally in the new species (vs second or third pair directed sublaterally in S. zurstrasseni and S. postpapillata, respectively). Phylogenetically, the new species is close to Eudiplogasterium evidentum, not S. zurstrasseni. Based on the typological and phylogenetic characters, the status of S. zurstrasseni is discussed.
Understanding human-wildlife conflict in Nepal and its mitigating measures
Authors: Gaire Asmita , Acharya Krishna Prasad 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Human-wildlife conflict has emerged as a nexus of diverse factors. Although the conservation plans have successfully increased the density of wildlife, such as tigers and rhinos in Nepal, the human-wildlife conflict remained inevitable. This article reviews several articles based on the status and patterns of human-wildlife conflict in Nepal and its mitigating measures. The human population is steadily increasing, as is the desire for infrastructure, resulting in the deterioration and loss of wildlife habitats such as forests. These processes have increased wildlife competition for food and territory, shifting their habitats towards the farmlands and human settlements. Likewise, climate change has increased wildlife’s environmental, physiological, and hormonal stress, causing them to become more aggressive and threatening human-wildlife harmony. In this scenario, the actions on biodiversity conservation would reach the climax only if the necessary approaches are sought to manage the conflicts. An appropriate relocation approach with post-monitoring and health surveillance in wildlife-friendly landscapes could control human-wildlife conflicts with the support of the local communities and relevant governmental and non-governmental authorities. Likewise, transboundary coordination with neighboring countries, cooperation among all related stakeholders, and transparent science-based conservation management can help reduce human-wildlife conflict.
The potential, challenge, and economic contribution of tourism resources in Menagesha Amba Mariam, state forest in Central Ethiopia
Authors: Desalegn Tamenut 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The present study used quantitative and qualitative research approaches to assess tourism resources’ potential, challenge, and economic contribution in the Menagesha Amba Mariam state forest. A total of 169 respondents’ samples were collected from the target population. The results confirmed that the study area has enormous tourism resource potential that can facilitate the respective tourism economy. The majority (88.2%) are natural attractions, including the landscape, the Meti River, the Adare River, the Meti waterfall, and wildlife species, as well as cultural (e.g., Horseback riding, Irreecha, Geda, and the handcrafts system) and religious resources (e.g., Meskel festivity, funeral ceremonies, monasteries, and ancient churches). Lack of infrastructure, lack of awareness, lack of community participation, poor coordination of stakeholders, and lack of fair administration are challenges for tourism development in the study area. Therefore, the Federal and Regional governments could collaborate to solve the challenges of ecotourism development. Furthermore, the involvement of local communities and the provision of basic tourism infrastructure amenities and facilities could encourage tourism flow and economic development at Menagesha Amba Mariam state forest.
Catharine Trotter Cockburn on Moral Knowledge
Authors: Young James O. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the wake of Locke’s Essay, empiricists faced the challenge of giving an empiricist account of the origins of moral knowledge. Locke did not rise to this challenge and relied on revelation as the source of moral knowledge. Other empiricists, including Hume and Hutcheson, opted for either emotivism or subjectivism. Clarke and others opted for rationalism and non-naturalism. In contrast, Catharine Cockburn’s meta-ethics combined Locke’s empiricism with naturalism. She held that moral good is natural good and that natural good is known just as any other matters of natural fact are known: empirically. Cockburn’s position was unusual for its time, and the full originality and appeal of her meta-ethical position have not been fully appreciated.
Epistemic Injustice and Feminist Education: The Case of the Centre for Women’s Studies in Zagreb
Authors: Dremel Anita 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse and discuss critical aspects of practicing women’s studies and the complex politics involved in it, including the changes in how feminist voices have been articulated, based on the example of the Centre for Women’s Studies (cws) in Zagreb. In addition to a descriptive and historical contribution, a lens of epistemic injustice and feminist epistemology will be used to analyse primarily the processes of independent education organized by the cws. The notions of testimonial and hermeneutical epistemic injustice as well as epistemic credit and epistemic authority are used to discuss aspects of independent feminist education at the cws in Zagreb, including formal pedagogical aspects (feminist classroom), the content studied, and issues of epistemology (critique of androcentrism). In addition to the study of relevant literature, this paper methodologically relies on the analysis of documents on changes in the study programme and semi-structured informant interviews with women active in the work of the cws.

Published: November 2023

Introduction Cardiac surgery in patients on chronic renal dialysis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Minimally invasive extracorporeal circuits (MiECC) have shown a positive impact on patient outcome in different high-risk populations. This retrospective study compares the outcome of these high-risk patients undergoing heart surgery either with a MiECC or a conventional extracorporeal circulation (CECC). Methods This is a single-center experience including 131 consecutive dialysis dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery between January 2006 and December 2016. A propensity score matching was employed leaving 30 matched cases in each group. Results After propensity score matching the 30-day mortality was significantly lower in the MiECC group ( n = 3 (10%) vs n = 10 (33%) in the CECC group, p = .028). Further, intraoperative transfused units of packed red blood cells were lower in the MiECC group (1.4 ± 1.8 units vs 2.8 ± 1.7, p < .001). Conclusions There are evident advantages to using MiECC in dialysis dependent patients, especially regarding mortality. These findings necessitate additional research in MiECC usage in high-risk populations.

Objective A prospective experiment was designed to explore all possible SNPs in the promoter region of fibrinogen B β (FGB) and reveal the influence of these SNPs on susceptibility of pulmonary embolism. Methods In this 2-year randomized prospective study, we had totally recruited 203 volunteers. 58 PE patients (58 out of 145 VTE patients) and 114 healthy people were taken as case and control objects, respectively. FGB promoter was detected by gene sequencing. Results There were 6 SNPs in FGB promoter, which were β-1420G/A, β-993C/T, β-854G/A, β-455G/A, β-249C/T, and β-148C/T. Genotype frequencies of individual SNPs between the cases and controls were not statistically significant, all p > .05. After excluding subjects of COVID-19 infection within 6 months, the statistical results (35 PE patients vs 66 healthy people) were consistent. Conclusion The susceptibility to pulmonary embolism may not be affected by any SNP in the FGB promoter region.

Objective: To date, no data supports the execution of vaccination after hysterectomy for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) and early-stage cervical cancer. We aim to evaluate the potential effect of vaccination after hysterectomy for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and early-stage cervical cancer. Methods: This is a multi-center retrospective study evaluating data of women who develop lower genital tract dysplasia (including anal, vulvar and vaginal intra-epithelial neoplasia) after having hysterectomy for CIN2+ and FIGO stage IA1- IB1 cervical cancer. Results: Overall, charts for 77 patients who developed lower genital tract dysplasia were collected. The study population included 62 (80.5%) and 15 (19.5%) patients with CIN2+ and early-stage cervical cancer, respectively. The median (range) time between hysterectomy and diagnosis of develop lower genital tract dysplasia was 38 (range, 14-62) months. HPV types covered by the nonavalent HPV vaccination would potentially cover 94.8% of the development of lower genital tract dysplasia. Restricting the analysis to the 18 patients with available HPV data at the time of hysterectomy, the beneficial effect of nonvalent vaccination was 89%. However, considering that patients with persistent HPV types (with the same HPV types at the time of hysterectomy and who developed lower genital tract dysplasia) would not benefit from vaccination, we estimated the potential protective effect of vaccination to be 67% (12 out of 18 patients; four patients had a persistent infection for the same HPV type(s)). Conclusions: Our retrospective analysis supported the adoption of HPV vaccination in patients having treatment for HPV-related disease. Even in the absence of the uterine cervix, HPV vaccination would protect against develop lower genital tract dysplasia. Further prospective studies have to confirm our preliminary research.
