Corrected SFD: A More Accurate Galactic Dust Map with Minimal Extragalactic Contamination
Authors: Chiang Yi-Kuan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The widely used Milky Way dust-reddening map, the Schlegel–Finkbeiner–Davis (SFD) map, was found to contain extragalactic large-scale structure (LSS) imprints. Such contamination is inherent in maps based on infrared emission, which pick up not only Galactic dust but also the cosmic infrared background (CIB). When SFD is used for extinction correction, overcorrection occurs in a spatially correlated and redshift-dependent manner, which could impact precision cosmology using galaxy clustering, lensing, and Type Ia supernova distances. Similarly, LSS imprints in other Galactic templates can affect intensity mapping and cosmic microwave background experiments. This paper presents a generic way to remove LSS traces in Galactic maps and applies it to SFD. First, we measure descriptive summary statistics of the CIB in SFD by cross-correlating the map with spectroscopic galaxies and quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey tomographically as functions of redshift and angular scale. To reconstruct the LSS on the map level, however, additional information on the phases is needed. We build a large set of 180 overcomplete, full-sky basis template maps from the density fields of over 600 million galaxies in the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and find a linear combination that reproduces all of the high-dimensional tomographic two-point statistics of the CIB in SFD. After subtracting this reconstructed LSS/CIB field, the end product is a full-sky Galactic dust-reddening map that supersedes SFD, carrying all Galactic features therein, with maximally suppressed CIB. We release this new dust map dubbed CSFD—the corrected SFD—at https://idv.sinica.edu.tw/ykchiang/CSFD.html and NASA’s LAMBDA archive.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The formation mechanism of high-concentration dwarf galaxies is still a mystery. We perform a comparative study of the intrinsic shape of nearby low-mass galaxies with different stellar concentration. The intrinsic shape is parameterized by the intermediate-to-major axis ratios B/A and the minor-to-major axis ratios C/A of triaxial ellipsoidal models. Our galaxies (107.5
M
⊙ < M
⋆ < 1010.0
M
⊙) are selected to have spectroscopic redshift from SDSS or GAMA and have broadband optical images from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) wide-layer survey. The deep HSC-SSP images allow to measure the apparent axis ratios q at galactic radii beyond the central star-forming area of our galaxies. We infer the intrinsic axis ratios based on the q distributions. We find that (1) our galaxies have typical intrinsic shape similarly close to be oblate (μ
B/A ∼ 0.9–1), regardless of the concentration, stellar mass, star formation activity, and local environment (being central or satellite); (2) galaxies with the highest concentration tend to have intrinsic thickness similar to or (in virtually all cases) slightly thinner (i.e., smaller mean μ
C/A or equivalently lower triaxiality) than ordinary galaxies, regardless of other properties explored here. This appears to be in contrast with the expectation of the classic merger scenario for high-concentration galaxies. Given the lack of a complete understanding of dwarf–dwarf merger, we cannot draw a definite conclusion about the relevance of mergers in the formation of high-concentration dwarfs. Other mechanisms such as halo spin may also play important roles in the formation of high-concentration dwarf galaxies.

Abstract
M82 is an archetypal starburst galaxy in the local Universe. The central burst of star formation, thought to be triggered by M82's interaction with other members in the M81 group, is driving a multiphase galaxy-scale wind away from the plane of the disk that has been studied across the electromagnetic spectrum. Here, we present new velocity-resolved observations of the [C ii] 158 μm line in the central disk and the southern outflow of M82 using the upGREAT instrument on board SOFIA. We also report the first detections of velocity-resolved (ΔV = 10 km s−1) [C ii] emission in the outflow of M82 at projected distances of ≈1–2 kpc south of the galaxy center. We compare the [C ii] line profiles to observations of CO and H i and find that likely the majority (>55%) of the [C ii] emission in the outflow is associated with the neutral atomic medium. We find that the fraction of [C ii] actually outflowing from M82 is small compared to the bulk gas outside the midplane (which may be in a halo or tidal streamers), which has important implications for observations of [C ii] outflows at higher redshift. Finally, by comparing the observed ratio of the [C ii] and CO intensities to models of photodissociation regions, we estimate that the far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation field in the disk is ∼103.5
G
0, in agreement with previous estimates. In the outflow, however, the FUV radiation field is 2–3 orders of magnitudes lower, which may explain the high fraction of [C ii] arising from the neutral medium in the wind.
Khronometric Theories of Modified Newtonian Dynamics
Authors: Flanagan Éanna. É. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In 2011 Blanchet and Marsat suggested a fully relativistic version of Milgrom's modified Newtonian dynamics in which the dynamical degrees of freedom consist of the spacetime metric and a foliation of spacetime, the khronon field. This theory is simpler than the alternative relativistic formulations. We show that the theory has a consistent nonrelativistic or slow-motion limit. Blanchet and Marsat showed that in the slow motion limit, the theory reproduces stationary solutions of modified Newtonian dynamics. We show that these solutions are stable to khronon perturbations in the low acceleration regime, for the cases of spherical, cylindrical, and planar symmetry. For nonstationary systems in the low acceleration regime, we show that the khronon field generally gives an order unity correction to the modified Newtonian dynamics. In particular, there will be an order unity correction to the MOND version of Kepler's third law, potentially relevant to ongoing efforts to test MOND using GAIA observations of wide binaries.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are subject to changes in their direction of propagation, tilt, and other properties. This is because CMEs interact with the ambient solar wind and other large-scale magnetic field structures. In this work, we report on the observations of the 2012 October 5 stealth CME using coronagraphic and heliospheric images. We find clear evidence of a continuous rotation of the CME, i.e., an increase in the tilt angle, estimated using the graduated cylindrical shell (GCS) reconstruction at different heliocentric distances, up to 58 R
⊙. We find a further increase in the tilt at L1 estimated from the toroidal and cylindrical flux rope fitting on the in situ observations of interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and solar wind parameters. This study highlights the importance of observations of Heliospheric Imager (HI), on board the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory. In particular, the GCS reconstruction of CMEs in the HI field of view promises to bridge the gap between the near-Sun and in situ observations at the L1. The changes in the CME tilt have significant implications for the space weather impact of stealth CMEs.

Abstract
We present the detection of a secondary outflow associated with a Class I source, Ser-emb 15, in the Serpens Molecular Cloud. We reveal two pairs of molecular outflows consisting of three lobes, that is, primary and secondary outflows, using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array 12CO and SiO line observations at a resolution of ∼318 au. The secondary outflow is elongated approximately perpendicular to the axis of the primary outflow in the plane of the sky. We also identify two compact structures, Sources A and B, within an extended structure associated with Ser-emb 15 in the 1.3 mm continuum emission at a resolution of ∼40 au. The projected sizes of Sources A and B are 137 au and 60 au, respectively. Assuming a dust temperature of 20 K, we estimate the dust mass to be 2.4 × 10−3
M
⊙ for Source A and 3.3 × 10−4
M
⊙ for Source B. C18O line data imply rotational motion around the extended structure, but we cannot resolve rotational motion in Source A and/or B because the angular and frequency resolutions are insufficient. Therefore, we cannot conclude whether Ser-emb 15 is a single or binary system. Thus, either Source A or Source B could drive the secondary outflow. We discuss two scenarios that might explain the driving mechanism of the primary and secondary outflows: the Ser-emb 15 system is (1) a binary system composed of Sources A and B, or (2) a single-star system composed of Source A alone. In either case, the system could be a suitable target for investigating the disk and/or binary formation processes in complicated environments. Detecting these outflows should contribute to understanding complex star-forming environments, which may be common in the star formation processes.

Published: November 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the gasdermin D (GSDMD) and mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) inhibitor, necrosulfonamide (NSA), on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hyperalgesia in mice.
Methods: Reaction time to a thermal stimulus within 30 seconds was measured in male mice injected with saline, LPS, and/or NSA after 6 hours using the hot plate test. Immunoblotting studies were performed to determine changes in caspase-11/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis, receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase (RIPK) 1/RIPK3/MLKL necrosome-mediated necroptosis, demyelination, and remyelination in the brains and spinal cords of animals.
Results: NSA demonstrated significant antinociceptive activity compared with LPS-treated mice. In the tissues of LPS-treated mice, NSA decreased expression of caspase-11 p20, p30-GSDMD, interleukin-1β, high-mobility-group-box 1, and semaphorin 3A, and activity of RIPK1, RIPK3, and MLKL. NSA also increased the expression of myelin proteolipid protein.
Conclusion: Therefore, NSA may have therapeutic potential in the treatment of inflammatory painful conditions due to bacterial infections.
Une analyse dynamique du système de contrôle de gestion de la firme post-soviétique
Authors: Paladi Irina 
Published: November 2023

Cet article traite de l’évolution des systèmes de contrôle de gestion (SCG) durant la transition post-soviétique. Deux études de cas sur des entreprises « du monde d’avant » et toujours existantes caractérisent le SCG de l’économie planifiée et les transformations induites par le passage à l’économie de marché. Nos résultats montrent qu’à partir du même point de départ – un SCG centralisé et déployé dans toutes les entreprises soviétiques, vecteur cérémoniel et opérationnel de la stratégie du Parti communiste, – la transition détermine divers degrés de changement dans le SCG des entreprises. La chute de l’URSS se traduit par la disparition des systèmes formels et le maintien des outils informels. La réintroduction des SCG résulte de contraintes exercées par des partenaires étrangers. La transformation des SCG en outil de pilotage, bien que limitée, s’explique principalement par la diffusion des connaissances en contrôle de gestion et le changement du mode de gestion des entreprises.
Assessment of agricultural practices by Ethiopian women farmers: existence of gender disparities in access to mycotoxins training
Authors: Cervini C. , Abegaz B. , Mohammed A. , Elias R. , Medina A. , Gebre K. , Verheecke-Vaessen C. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ethiopia is one of the countries with the lowest gender-equality performance in sub-Saharan Africa being ranked 121/134 in terms of the magnitude and scope of gender disparities by the United Nations Women’s Organisation. Within the farming communities, women represent 70% of the labour force, but they are neglected from accessing training events run by Ethiopian Universities (e.g. Haramaya University). A survey to assess the existence of gender disparities among Ethiopian women farmers with respect to agricultural labour and mycotoxins knowledge was conducted on three hundred and forty-nine women from the Oromia and Amhara regions. A higher illiteracy rate was found in women compared to men from both Oromia and Amhara regions. Women played a key role in agricultural activities while having limited access to modern technologies compared to their male counterparts. Women were mainly responsible for sorting spoiled crops. Especially in Amhara, these were intended for home consumption, representing a serious health risk for local people. Overall, women from Amhara were more aware than women from Oromia about what mycotoxins are (e.g. aflatoxins), their impact and risk of occurrence in crops. Women in Amhara were also more intended to act towards mycotoxins in the future compared to women from Oromia. Only 0.24% of women have previously attended a training on mycotoxins. The radio seemed to be the most efficient way to deliver training to Ethiopian women farmers from these regions. Mycotoxins trainings were the second option of choice by all women surveyed. Such findings clearly stated the existence of gender inequality in the two Ethiopian regions considered. Empower women’s knowledge about mycotoxins will not only benefit agricultural income and the national economy, but it will also provide women the recognition they equally deserve alongside their male counterparts in future agricultural training programs and interventions.
Sustained Effect of Simulation-Based Resuscitation Education on Knowledge, Self-Confidence, and Performance Ability of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Nurses
Authors: Lim Cho Yeon , Song Mi Ryeong 
Published: November 2023

Background:
Simulation education is essential for the development of nurses' practical skills. This study evaluated the impact and duration of simulation-based neonatal resuscitation education on the knowledge, self-confidence, and performance ability of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses.

Method:

This quasi-experimental study was conducted in South Korea and included 35 NICU nurses working in tertiary hospitals between August and October 2021. Simulation-based neonatal resuscitation education (NRE) was provided for 80 minutes, and its effectiveness was measured in terms of nurses' knowledge, self-confidence, and performance ability. Data collection was conducted before, 1 week after, 3 weeks after, and 5 weeks after the training, and the collected data were calculated and analyzed using a
t
test and repeated measures analysis of variance.

Results:
Simulation-based NRE improved knowledge, self-confidence, and performance in neonatal resuscitation. Performance ability showed greater improvement than knowledge or self-confidence, and all three areas showed significant differences in score changes over time.

Conclusion:

The duration of the training effect should be considered an important factor.

Authors: Snyder Kelli R. , Majewski-Schrage Tricia L. 
Published: November 2023

Context
The benefits of service-learning experiences have been reported throughout health care education, yet no recent empirical investigations have been made of the effect of service-learning experiences on athletic training students. Two commentaries, published over 10 years ago, promoted the benefits of and need for service-learning experiences in athletic training education, yet no studies have been published that measure the effect of service-learning in athletic training education.

Objective
To assess athletic training students’ attitudes and perceptions of community service and civic engagement after participating in a service-learning experience involving underserved populations.

Design
Quasiexperimental.

Setting
Free medical clinic in an urban location in the Midwest.

Patients or Other Participants
Twenty-eight final year undergraduate athletic training students (18 females, 10 males, 21.3 ± 0.6 years old).

Intervention(s)
Students participated in 4 hours of service-learning experience in the fall and spring semesters, for a total of 8 hours, in a free medical clinic.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
The Center for Healthy Communities Service-learning Survey (1999, with permission) was administered anonymously online (Qualtrics Inc) before and after the service-learning experience.

Results
Statistically significant changes were found in 3 of the 15 items: “I feel well prepared to practice my profession in a community similar to the community in which my placement is located” (U = 242, Z = −2.205, P = .027), “I believe students should volunteer their time helping people without resources” (U = 235.5, Z = −2.244, P = .025), and “I feel that I can have a positive impact on the community in which I work by volunteering my time” (U = 253, Z = −2.054, P = .040).

Conclusions
Athletic training programs should consider incorporating service-learning into their curriculum to enhance their students’ preparation to serve diverse patient populations and become civically engaged professionals.

The Role of Neutrophil to Lymphocytes Ratio and It's Common Clinical Outcomes Amount the Patient with Non ST Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
Authors: Jalbani Javaid , Bhatti Khalid Iqbal , Sallar Tariq 
Published: November 2023

Objectives: To evaluate the admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for risk stratification for in-hospital out-comes and complications in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (non-ST-ACS) patients.
Methodology: Methods: We recruited consecutive patients with non-ST-ACS. The NLR was obtained and stratified as low, inter- mediate, and high-risk based on <3.0, 3.0e6.0, and >6.0, respectively. The new ST-T changes, arrhythmias, contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), and mortality were recorded.
Results: Results: Median NLR was 3 [2.1-5.3] for 346 patients with 19.9% and 30.6% in high- and intermediate-risk group. New ST-T changes were observed in 3.5% (12) out of which 8, 3, and 1 patient in low, intermediate, and high-risk group (p = 0.424), respectively. Arrhythmias were observed in 5.8% (20) with 7, 5, and 8 patients in low, intermediate, and high- risk group (p = 0.067), respectively. CIN was observed in 4.9% (17) with 5, 5, and 7 in low, intermediate, and high-risk group (p = 0.064), respectively. In-hospital mortality was recorded in 1.4% (5) with 2 and 3 patients in high and low-risk group (p = 0.260), respectively.
Conclusion: A significant number of non-ST-ACS patients fall in the high-risk category of NLR. Although, the association between NLR and in-hospital mortality and adverse events was not statistically significant but relatively higher rates of events were observed in high risk group.
Factors Responsible for Worse Outcomes in Stemi Patients with Early vs Delayed Treatment Presenting in a Tertiary Care Center
Authors: Ashraf Sohaib , Masood Sibgah , Shahbaz Amir , Saboor Qazi Abdul 
Published: November 2023

Objectives: The aim of the study is to compare the outcomes among STEMI cases with early treatment vs delayed treatment. To identify the contributing factors behind treatment delays and worse outcomes following STEMI symptoms.
Methodology: It was a prospective comparative study on 186 patients with consecutive (non-probability) sampling. Two groups of cases were made as per their time to get admitted to the hospital (i.e. within 2 hours of symptom onset = Group-A; after 2 hours of symptom onset = Group-B). Patients were asked for factors causing a delay in treatment after the onset of symptoms and were monitored for STEMI outcomes.
Results: The mean age of all patients was 46.62 ± 9.76 years and there were 140(75.27%) male and 46(24.73%) female, and male to female ratio 3:1.Factors significant for delayed treatment versus non- delayed treatment were poor social economic status (65.6% versus 20.4%), history of chronic stable angina (33.3% versus 11.8%), delayed response in the emergency room (20.4% versus 8.6%), delayed ECG acquisition (26.9% versus 8.6%), delayed ECG interpretation (25.8% versus 4.3%), pain at night 12:00 to 6:00 am (21.5% versus 9.7%) and belief that the chest pain is non-cardiac (26.9% versus 3.2%). Acute heart failure was significantly greater in group B (9.7%) in comparison with group-A (2.2%), Re- infarction was 18.3% in group B in comparison with 7.5% group-A. Similarly sustained ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation and in hospital mortality were higher in group B (12.9%, 14 % and 12.9% respectively).
Conclusion: Our study highlights that while most post-AMI patients receive the recommended minimum statin therapy, the inadequate practice of lipid assessment may compromise therapy optimization and raise the risk of subsequent events.
