Late acquired coronary aneurysm and restenosis after bioresorbable vascular scaffold implantation: a case report
Authors: Micari Antonino , Dimartino Angelo , Donato Rocco , Vizzari Giampiero , Andò Giuseppe 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Background
Although the technology of bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) aroused the peak of interest a few years ago and currently remains available only as part of experimental research, patients who have had BVS implanted should be still carefully monitored to detect possible long-term complications.

Case summary
We present the case of a 47-year-old man who had received BVS implantation for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Six years later, computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) demonstrated in-segment restenosis in between two newly formed coronary aneurysms at the site of the implanted BVS. The patient received successful optical coherence tomography–guided percutaneous intervention with a new metallic drug-eluting stent implantation.

Discussion
Our case demonstrates that coronary aneurysms can be well characterized with CTCA and are often incidentally discovered as they cause no symptoms. The incidence of coronary aneurysm at the site of a previously implanted BVS is not defined, and little is known about the pathophysiology and evolution of these lesions. Therefore, the decision to proceed with conservative management or intervention must be tailored to the clinical conditions of the patient, the anatomy, the rapidity of growth, and the possible thrombotic burden.
‘A Wall of Defence unto this Realm’: William Cecil, Conformity and the Protestant State in Early Elizabethan England
Authors: Gajda Alexandra 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article reassesses conceptions of the religious conformity required of public magistrates in the 1560s through the prism of William Cecil’s schemes for reformation of the state. Scholars have argued that ‘the Crown’s’ aims in defining the conformity of subjects were ‘political’ rather than ‘evangelical’ and primarily focused on securing obedience. This article argues instead that leading Protestants, clerical and lay, viewed the creation of the Christian commonwealth as a joint enterprise of minister and magistrate. In private memoranda, Cecil insisted that the security of the polity was dependent on magistrates who possessed ‘inward’ Protestantism ‘of the hart’. Cecil’s earliest scheme for an ‘Instrument of Association’ binding the Protestant elite, was devised in this period, fuelled by his vision of the Protestant polity not as ‘monarchical republic’ of virtuous citizens, but a ‘confessional state’ governed by a network of officials bound by loyalty to Crown and church. The article concludes by analysing the Privy Council’s attempts to secure the closer conformity of the magistracy to the religious settlement by subscription. In November 1569, local officials across the realm were compelled to subscribe to the Act of Uniformity and to promise to take the eucharist on a regular basis, a sacramental requirement not required of officials by statute law until the Restoration. The aspiration of the Protestant regime to require stricter religious conformity of its public officials indicates that ‘conformity’ itself was a nebulous concept, which could be imposed on targeted groups at different times and places and through variant means.
The technical and economic effects of biodiversity standards on wheat production
Authors: Lassalas Marie , Duvaleix Sabine , Latruffe Laure 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Our paper assesses the technical and economic effects of adopting environmental standards aimed at favouring biodiversity on wheat production. We consider two standards with different levels of environmental stringency. We use data on French wheat production at the plot level from the period 2014–2020. We implement an endogenous switching regression model taking into account two sources of endogeneity, environmental standards adoption and inputs quantity use. Our results indicate that adopting the more stringent standard slightly decreases wheat yield and quality. In contrast, it induces a low increase in wheat price. The price premium of the more stringent environmental standard merely compensates for the negative effect of the standard’s adoption on quality.

Abstract
Unhealthy aging poses a global challenge with profound healthcare and socioeconomic implications. Slowing down the aging process offers a promising approach to reduce the burden of a number of age-related diseases, such as dementia, and promoting healthy longevity in the old population. In response to the challenge of the aging population and with a view to the future, Norway and the United Kingdom are fostering collaborations, supported by a “Money Follows Cooperation agreement” between the 2 nations. The inaugural Norway–UK joint meeting on aging and dementia gathered leading experts on aging and dementia from the 2 nations to share their latest discoveries in related fields. Since aging is an international challenge, and to foster collaborations, we also invited leading scholars from 11 additional countries to join this event. This report provides a summary of the conference, highlighting recent progress on molecular aging mechanisms, genetic risk factors, DNA damage and repair, mitophagy, autophagy, as well as progress on a series of clinical trials (eg, using NAD+ precursors). The meeting facilitated dialogue among policymakers, administrative leaders, researchers, and clinical experts, aiming to promote international research collaborations and to translate findings into clinical applications and interventions to advance healthy aging.

Abstract

Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of workflow redesign (eaST system) on pharmacy waiting time and near-missed events. We also investigated other factors that may potentially affect these study outcomes.

Methods
A quasi-experimental (before–after) study design was adopted. Pre-intervention data were collected over 7 months (January–July 2017). Subsequently, the workflow redesign (eaST system) was implemented and the effect of the intervention (August 2017–February 2018) was evaluated. Univariate analysis was used to compare the differences between pre-intervention and post-intervention of pharmacy waiting time and near-missed events. Significant factors affecting study outcomes were analysed using linear regression analysis.

Key findings
A total of 210,530 prescriptions were analysed. The eaST system significantly increases the percentage of prescriptions dispensed within 30 min per day (median = 68 (interquartile range (IQR) = 41) vs. median = 93 (IQR = 33), P &lt; 0.001) and reduced the mean percentage of near-missed events (mean = 50.71 (standard deviation (SD) = 23.95) vs. mean = 27.87 (SD = 12.23), P &lt; 0.001). However, the eaST system’s effects on related outcomes were conditional on a three-way interaction effect. The eaST system’s effects on pharmacy waiting time were influenced by the number of prescriptions received and the number of PhIS server disruptions. Conversely, the eaST system’s effects on near-missed events were influenced by the number of pharmacy personnel and number of controlled medications.

Conclusions
Overall, the eaST system improved the pharmacy waiting time and reduced near-missed events.
God’s Magical Womb: Pregnancy, Power, and the Feminized Divine in Jewish Ritual Texts
Authors: Segol Marla 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis article explores the ritual functions of medical and mythical embryologies in Jewish ritual texts from late antiquity to the present. Together these sources tell three stories that show the development of participatory models of ritual efficacy. The first is the integration of medical embryologies into Jewish ritual practice. The second is that of a growing collaboration between human and divine in reproduction, and in prayer, through shared experience, shared embodiment and affect, and mutual mimesis that together constitute a powerful methexis. These in turn grant increased access to power. The third story is the growing maternalization of the divine, which in turn amplifies human-divine collaboration and inter-embodied participation in pregnancy. Thus from the period of late antiquity to early modernity, we see the ritualization of embryologies, remythologized to articulate an emerging theology of divine maternity and of inter-embodied human-divine participation in reproduction.

Abstract
Proteasome activator subunit 3 (PA28γ) is a member of the proteasome activator family, which mainly regulates the degradation and stability of proteins. Studies have shown that it plays crucial roles in lipid formation, stemness maintenance, and blood vessel formation. However, few studies have clarified the association between PA28γ and bone diseases. Herein, we identified PA28γ as a previously unknown regulator of bone homeostasis that coordinates bone formation and lipid accumulation. PA28γ-knockout mice presented with the characteristics of low bone mass and accumulation of lipids. Suppressed expression of PA28γ restrained the osteogenic differentiation and enhanced the adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Overexpression of PA28γ promoted osteogenic differentiation and inhibited adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Mechanistically, PA28γ interacted with Wnt5α, and the two interactors appeared to be positively correlated. PA28γ mainly activated the downstream Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which affects BMSCs differentiation homeostasis. Deletion of Wnt5α significantly delayed the promotion of osteogenic differentiation and partially alleviated the inhibitory effect of adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs in the PA28γ-overexpressing group. Furthermore, we demonstrated that PA28γ-knockout mice had an inhibited rate of bone healing in a drill-hole femoral bone defect model in vivo. Therefore, our results confirm the effects of PA28γ on bone formation and bone defect repair, indicating that PA28γ mainly interacts with Wnt5α to activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway regulating BMSCs differentiation homeostasis. Our results reveal the function of PA28γ in bone diseases and provide a new theoretical basis for expanding the treatment of bone diseases.
Computational analysis of magnetized bio-convective partially ionized flow of second-order fluid on a bidirectional porous stretching sheet with Cattaneo–Christov theory

Published: January 2024

Abstract
After applying a magnetic field, the behavior of the partly ionized liquids is completely different from that of the ordinary fluids. In this study, we concentrated on the Cattaneo–Christov heat flux model-based three-dimensional partly ionized bio-convective flow of a second-order fluid on a bidirectional permeable stretching surface. The development of the thermal and solutal flow models takes into account the impacts of non-uniform sources and sinks, Ohmic viscous dissipation, and chemical reactions. In addition, the surface boundary effects of electron and ion collisions with convective boundary conditions are seen. The mathematical flow model is transformed appropriately to create an ordinary differential equations, which is then numerically solved with MATLAB’s BVP4C approach. To demonstrate the physical relevance of the flow field along various developing parameters, graphical and tabular results are created. It is noteworthy to note that while fluid temperature decreases with stronger values of the second-order fluid parameter, fluid velocity improves in both directions. In addition, it is shown that raising the thermal and concentration relaxation parameters, respectively, causes a drop in the fluid temperature and nanoparticle concentration.
The mitochondrial genome and life history of Tomostethus sinofraxini (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae), an emerging pest of Fraxinus chinensis

Abstract
Tomostethus sinofraxini Wang & Wei (a new name is proposed for Tomostethus fraxini Niu & Wei, 2022: Tomostethus sinofraxini Wang & Wei, nom. nov.), an emerging sawfly pest of the Chinese ash, Fraxinus chinensis, is now endemic to Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Shandong provinces. Given the severity of its infestation and the speed of its range expansion, we studied the phylogenetic relationship of T. sinofraxini with other sawfly species and its life history to be better informed for the management strategies. The nearly complete T. sinofraxini mitogenome is 16,169 bp in length and encodes 2 ribosomal RNAs (rrnL and rrnS), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and 13 protein-coding genes. The nucleotide composition is biased toward adenine and thymine (A + T = 81.7%). In comparison to the architecture of the ancestral insect mitogenome, 2 transposition events occur on the IQM tRNA cluster, rearranging it from IQM to MQI. Our phylogenetic analysis suggests that T. sinofraxini belongs to a group composed of paraphyletic subfamilies Blennocampinae and Heterarthrinae. In addition, to document its life history, we observed T. sinofraxini development at 2 geographical locations in Beijing, China, with different altitudes. At Jiulong Mountain, with a higher altitude and a lower average temperature, the developmental time of egg, larval, and adult stages was 19%–31% longer than that observed at the Chinese Academy of Forestry. A basic understanding of biological traits and molecular signatures is the critical first step to develop an integrated pest management framework for this emerging pest of the Chinese ash.
Who Acts When Autonomous Weapons Strike?
Authors: Gaeta Paola 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This essay examines the theories according to which ‘actions’ carried out by autonomous weapon systems enabled by strong artificial intelligence in detecting, tracking and engaging with the target (‘intelligent AWS’) may be seen as an ‘act’ of the weapon system for the purpose of legal responsibility. The essay focuses on the material act required for the commission of war crimes related to prohibited attacks in warfare. After briefly presenting the various conceptions of the act as an essential component of the material element of criminal offences, it argues that the material act of war crimes related to prohibited attacks is invariably carried out by the user of an ‘intelligent AWS’. This also holds true in the case of so-called ‘unintended engagements’ during the course of a military attack carried out with an intelligent AWS. The essay moves on to examine the question of whether, in the case of the use of intelligent AWS by the armed forces of a state, the ‘actions’ of intelligent AWS — including those not intended by the user — are attributable to the state. It demonstrates that under a correct understanding of the concept of ‘act of state’ for the purpose of attributing state responsibility under international law, such attribution is unquestionable. It underlines that, suggesting otherwise, would bring to a breaking point the possibility of establishing violations by states of international humanitarian law in the conduct of hostilities.
Labelled proof systems for existential reasoning
Authors: Ramos Jaime , Rasga João , Sernadas Cristina 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Usually in logic, proof systems are defined having in mind proving properties like validity and semantic consequence. It seems worthwhile to address the problem of having proof systems where satisfiability is a primitive notion in the sense that a formal derivation means that a finite set of formulas is satisfiable. Moreover, it would be useful to cover within the same framework as many logics as possible. We consider Kripke semantics where the properties of the constructors are provided by valuation constraints as the common ground of those logics. This includes for instance intuitionistic logic, paraconsistent Nelson’s logic ${\textsf{N4}}$, paraconsistent logic ${\textsf{imbC}}$ and modal logics among others. After specifying a logic by those valuation constraints, we show how to induce automatically and from scratch an existential proof system for that logic. The rules of the proof system are shown to be invertible. General results of soundness and completeness are proved and then applied to the logics at hand.
Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback as a Treatment for Military PTSD: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Kenemore Jordan , Benham Grant , Charak Ruby , Hernandez Rodriguez Juventino 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Emerging research has provided tentative support for the use of heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) as a treatment for several psychological disorders, with meta-analyses providing compelling evidence for HRVB as a promising treatment for anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Given the prevalence of PTSD in military veterans and the comparatively lower benefit and higher attrition rate of traditional psychological treatment for PTSD relative to civilian counterparts, it is important to examine complementary and alternative treatment approaches such as HRVB in this population. Although studies of HRVB for PTSD have been conducted with military veterans, they have involved relatively small sample sizes, limiting interpretation. To address this, the current article presents a comprehensive meta-analysis, consolidating existing literature to more accurately evaluate the efficacy of HRVB in reducing PTSD symptoms within military populations.

Materials and Methods
This meta-analysis was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, and our protocol was registered with PROSPERO to increase review transparency. A literature search of HRVB interventions was conducted using PubMed, PsycINFO, Military Database, PTSDPubs, and EBSCO’s Psychological and Behavioral Sciences Collection.

Results
Five studies met eligibility criteria, providing a combined sample size of 95 military services members. For all studies, effect sizes were negative, indicating a reduction in PTSD symptoms. Effect sizes ranged from −1.614 to −0.414, resulting in an overall moderate to large mean effect for HRVB (Hedges’s g = −0.557; 95% confidence interval = −0.818 to −0.296; P &lt; .001). Additionally, cumulative attrition was 5.8%, significantly lower than commonly reported rates for evidence-based treatments (16%–36%).

Conclusions
The present study is the first meta-analysis to examine HRVB as a treatment for military service members with PTSD. Results indicate that HRVB may be a viable treatment approach to reduce PTSD symptomatology. Low attrition rates, ease of accessibility, and favorable participant outlook serve as additional benefits for the use of HRVB.
Reintroduced Oriental Stork survival differed by mitochondrial DNA haplotype
Authors: Deguchi Tomohiro , Okahisa Yuji , Ohsako Yoshito 
Published: January 2024

AbstractLong-lived territorial bird populations often consist of a few territorial breeding adults and many nonbreeding individuals. Some populations are threatened by anthropogenic activities, because of human conflicts for high-quality breeding habitat. Therefore, habitat restoration projects have been widely implemented to improve avian population status. In conjunction with habitat restoration, conservation translocations have been increasingly implemented. Adequate nonbreeder survival can be a key factor in the success of these attempts because nonbreeding birds may represent reservoirs for the replacement of breeders. The maintenance of breeding pair numbers is also influenced by the transition rate of nonbreeders to breeders. The reintroduction of Oriental Stork (Ciconia boyciana), a long-lived, territorial, endangered species, was initiated in Japan in 2005 using captive birds in hopes of increasing the population’s use of restored habitat. Our objective of this study was to elucidate the factors determining reintroduced stork survival and recruitment to the breeding populations. We estimated the survival rate and breeding participation rate by sex, age, generation, wild-born or not, haplotypes, and breeding status in storks reintroduced during 2005–2022 using Bayesian hierarchical models. There was no significant difference in survival rate between nonbreeders and breeders. However, the survival rate was lower in wild-born birds than released birds, which may be related to the longer-distance natal dispersal of new generations. Accelerated habitat restoration around breeding areas and preventive measures for collision with human-built structures should be implemented for the sustained growth of reintroduced populations. A low survival rate was also detected for a specific mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotype that accounts for the majority of the reintroduced population. This phenomenon might be explained by mtDNA-encoded mutations. Moreover, captive breeding and release history might contribute to an increase in the proportion of this haplotype in the wild.
Agent-based Modelling for Management Control and Management Accounting
Authors: Wall Friederike 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Management control aims at conforming the behaviour of organizational members to organizational goals. To this aim, management control employs a multitude of control mechanisms—from performance measurements and incentive schemes to group norms and shared beliefs. This chapter focuses on the potential of agent-based modelling and simulation for theory building in management control. A core argument of the chapter is that the agent-based paradigm structurally corresponds to management control. The discussions provide examples of agent-based models contributing to emerging research topics in the field. The models are differentiated according to how they capture control mechanisms (i.e., as exogenously given and endogenously evolving). Models with exogenously given control mechanisms primarily focus on the effects and effectiveness of single mechanisms or combinations thereof, potentially differentiating for environmental contingencies. Agent-based models with endogenously evolving control mechanisms allow capturing the emergence of management control systems and the adaptation to potentially turbulent environments. The chapter discusses the promises and challenges of agent-based modelling for the domain and derives avenues for future research.
