Methodological refinement of the submillimeter galaxy magnification bias
Authors: Bonavera L. , Cueli M. M. , González-Nuevo J. , Casas J. M. , Crespo D. 
Published: November 2023

Context. This work focuses on the submillimeter galaxy magnification bias, specifically in the tomographic scenario. It builds upon previous works, while utilising updated data to refine the methodology employed in constraining the free parameters of the halo occupation distribution model and cosmological parameters within a flat ΛCDM model.
Aims. This work aims to optimise CPU time and explore strategies for analysing different redshift bins, while maintaining measurement precision. Additionally, it seeks to examine the impact of excluding the GAMA15 field, one of the H-ATLAS fields that was found to have an anomalous strong cross-correlation signal, and increasing the number of redshift bins on the results.
Methods. The study uses a tomographic approach, dividing the redshift range into a different number of bins and analysing cross-correlation measurements between H-ATLAS submillimeter galaxies with photometric redshifts in the range 1.2 < z < 4.0 and foreground GAMA galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts in the range 0.01 < z < 0.9. Interpreting the weak lensing signal within the halo model formalism and carrying out a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, we obtain the posterior distribution of both halo occupation distribution and cosmological parameters within a flat ΛCDM model. Comparative analyses are conducted between different scenarios, including different combinations of redshift bins and the inclusion or exclusion of the GAMA15 field.
Results. The mean-redshift approximation employed in the “base case” yields results that are in good agreement with the more computationally intensive “full model” case. Marginalised posterior distributions confirm a systematic increase in the minimum mass of the lenses with increasing redshift. The inferred cosmological parameters show narrower posterior distributions compared to previous studies on the same topic, indicating reduced measurement uncertainties. Excluding the GAMA15 field demonstrates a reduction in the cross-correlation signal, particularly in two of the redshift bins, suggesting a sample variance within the large-scale structure along the line of sight. Moreover, extending the redshift range improves the robustness against the sample variance issue and produces similar, but tighter constraints compared to excluding the GAMA15 field.
Conclusions. The study emphasises the importance of considering sample variance and redshift binning in tomographic analyses. Increasing the number of independent fields and the number of redshift bins can minimise both the spatial and redshift sample variance, resulting in more robust measurements. The adoption of additional wide area field observed by Herschel and of updated foreground catalogues, such as the Dark Energy Survey or the future Euclid mission, is important for implementing these approaches effectively.
Advantages of combining Lunar Laser Ranging and Differential Lunar Laser Ranging
Authors: Zhang Mingyue , Müller Jürgen , Biskupek Liliane 
Published: November 2023

Context. Differential Lunar Laser Ranging (DLLR), which is planned to be conducted at Table Mountain Observatory (TMO) of Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in the future, is a novel technique for tracking to the Moon. This technique has the potential to determine the orientation, rotation, and interior of the Moon much more accurately if the expected high accuracy of about 30 μm can be achieved.
Aims. We focus on the benefit for the related parameters when only DLLR data with a short time span are available in the beginning.
Methods. A short DLLR time series is not enough to provide an accurate lunar orbit, which has a negative effect on parameter estimation. Fortunately, Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) has been collecting data for a very long time span, which can be used to compensate this DLLR disadvantage. The combination of LLR data (over more than 50 yr) and simulated DLLR data over a relatively short time span (e.g., 5 or 10 yr) is used in different cases which include changing reflector baselines and extending data time span, along with adding more stations and “new” reflectors.
Results. The results show that the estimated accuracies of the parameters related to the lunar orientation, rotation, and interior can be improved by about 5–100 times by simply adding 5-yr DLLR data in the combination. With LLR, further enhancing the parameter determination can be achieved by choosing appropriate reflector baselines. By investigating different scenarios of reflector baselines based on the present five reflectors on the Moon, we find that two crossing baselines with larger lengths offer the greatest advantage. A longer data time span is more helpful, rather than having more stations involved in the measurement within a shorter time span, assuming the amount of data in these two cases is the same. Furthermore, we evaluated the preferred position of an assumed new reflector.
Carboxamide-Accelerated Chemoselective Borylation of Iodoarenes under Photoirradiation
Authors: Sumimoto Michinori , Nishikata Takashi , Nakashima Yusei 
Published: November 2023

AbstractBorylation of haloarenes is one of the most important methodologies to synthesize borylated arenes. Generally, borylation of haloarenes occurs smoothly at the sterically less hindered para or meta position by the use of a transition metal catalyst or a photoredox catalyst or under basic conditions. This study reports on the ortho-specific and chemoselective borylation of ortho-iodoarene possessing carboxamide under visible-light irradiation. When a haloarene containing both C–I and C–X bonds is employed as a substrate, another C–X bond (not ortho) remains intact during the reaction. Mechanistic studies revealed that the key to the success of this reaction is the generation of a diboron-bridged five-membered ring as a transition state, in which the diboron-bridged five-membered ring and the benzene ring in the transition state are perpendicular to each other, owing to steric repulsion by the iodine atom at the ortho position. This chemoselectivity is suitable for the synthesis of borylated building blocks.
Probabilistic Reasoning in Homeopathy Practice and its Implications for Clinical Research
Authors: Berna Fabrice Sébastien , Bagot Jean-Lionel 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe principle of similitude put forward by Hahnemann has challenging practical consequences in the selection of the right homeopathic medicine for a patient. According to this principle, only the medicines that best fit the totality of the symptoms of a given patient are supposed to really cure: this greatly depends on the homeopath's clinical analysis. In addition, a patient's illness may be more or less curable, depending on the characteristics of the disease. In their daily practice, homeopaths typically apply Bayesian reasoning to deal with uncertainty associated with both medicine and disease. We suggest that clinical research on homeopathy would gain by integrating this kind of prior estimation of (1) the probability of a given medicine being effective for that particular patient and (2) the probability of the patient's disease (or symptoms) being curable. We therefore suggest that future trials of N-of-1 design may gain (1) by testing a small number of “best candidate” medicines (instead of one) for a given patient facing a given disease, and (2) by including careful prior estimations of the probabilities that (a) each selected medicine will be efficient for that patient and (b) the patient's disease will be reversible with the medicine.
Racial Disparities in Cesarean Delivery Rates: Do Hospital-Level Factors Matter?
Authors: Nicole Teal E. , Baer Rebecca J. , Jelliffe-Pawlowski Laura , Mengesha Biftu 
Published: November 2023

Objective This study aimed to assess whether racial disparities in nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex cesarean delivery rates vary among hospitals of different type (academic vs. nonacademic), setting (urban vs. rural), delivery volume, and patient population.
Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study including singleton term vertex live births in nulliparous Black and non-Hispanic White birthing people in California between 2011 and 2017. Cesarean delivery rates were obtained using birth certificate data and International Classification of Diseases, 9th/10th Revision codes. Risk of cesarean delivery was compared among Black versus White birthing people by hospital type (academic, nonacademic), setting (rural, suburban, urban), volume (< 1,200, 1,200–2,300, 2,400–3,599, ≥3,600 deliveries annually), and patient population (proportion Black-serving). Federal Information Processing codes were used to designate hospital setting. Risks were calculated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression and adjusted for birthing person age, body mass index, medical comorbidities, gestational age, labor type (spontaneous vs. induction), and infant birthweight.
Results The sample included 59,441 Black (cesarean delivery rate: 30.2%) and 363,624 White birthing people (cesarean delivery rate: 26.1%). Black birthing people were significantly more likely than White birthing people to have a cesarean delivery across nearly all hospital-level factors considered with adjusted relative risks ranging from 1.1 to 1.3. The only exception was rural settings in which the adjusted relative risk was 1.3 but did not reach statistical significance.
Conclusion Black–White disparities in nulliparous, term, singleton, vertex cesarean delivery rates were persistent across all hospital-level factors we considered: academic status, rurality, delivery volume, and patient population. Furthermore, disparities existed at roughly the same magnitude regardless of hospital characteristics. These global increased risks likely reflect structural inequities in care, which contribute to disparities in pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality. These data should encourage providers, hospital systems, and quality collaboratives to further investigate racial disparities in cesarean delivery rates and develop strategies for eliminating them.

Factors that affect consumer trust in product quality: a focus on online reviews and shopping platforms
Authors: Sung Eunsuk , Chung Won Young , Lee Daeho 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe growing popularity of online shopping means that consumers must determine product quality after they make a purchase decision and receive the product, a situation that is directly related to the issue of consumers’ trust toward retailers. This study analyzes the marginal willingness to pay for attributes that influence consumer trust and purchasing decisions regarding products whose quality can only be determined after they are purchased. We select six attributes that influence trust in online shopping: (1) price, (2) number of reviews, (3) “star” rating, (4) review type (i.e., text, picture, and video), (5) length of text reviews, and (6) shopping platform. We conduct a conjoint survey by categorizing brands as famous and nonfamous and analyze the survey data using a multinominal logit model. The results reveal that consumers prefer high star ratings, a large number of reviews, and a trustworthy shopping platform, even if other similar products are less expensive. Additionally, feeling confident about a product’s quality is more difficult for consumers in the case of nonfamous brands, which they have not experienced, compared with famous brands. The findings indicate that when consumers purchase products from nonfamous brands they are willing to pay more for all six attributes. These results can help retailers establish pricing strategies based on the value of trust by considering customer experience.

Formation of a Rapidly Rotating Classical Be-star in a Massive Close Binary System
Authors: Staritsin Evgeny 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper investigates the spin-up of a mass-accreting star in a close binary system passing through the first stage of mass exchange in the Hertzsprung gap. Inside an accreting star, angular momentum is carried by meridional circulation and shear turbulence. The circulation carries part of the angular momentum of the accreted layers to the accretor’s surface. The greater the rate of arrival of angular momentum in the accretor is, the greater this part. It is assumed that this part of the angular momentum can be removed by the disk further from the accretor. If the angular momentum in the matter entering the accretor is more than half the Keplerian value, then the angular momentum obtained by the accretor during mass exchange stage does not depend on the rate of arrival of angular momentum. The accretor may have the characteristics of a Be-star immediately after the end of mass exchange.
Management of end-stage renal failure and problems of transplantation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Authors: Culleton Bruce , Parfrey Patrick S 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common renal cystic disease which causes end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in adults. In Canada, the prevalence of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) among registered ESRD patients was 6.3 per cent (n = 1205) at the end of 1991 (Canadian Organ Replacement Registry; CORR 1993). PKD occurred in 5.3 per cent (n = 135) of new patients starting ESRD therapy during 1991, an incidence virtually unchanged since the previous decade (CORR 1993). Prevalence rates are similar throughout the world, although it has been reported that the disease is rare in Africa (Habte and Abraha 1983), and may be less common in American blacks than whites (Torres et al. 1985).
Chapter Eight
Authors: Smail Simon , Rollnick Stephen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Alcohol is widely used in society but the heaviest users are young men. It is a great social lubricant that is associated with fun, enjoyment, and good life. It has a darker side which is often hidden from the general practitioner, particularly as adult males are absent from the doctor’s consulting room anyway. We wanted this chapter to examine the transition from social lubricant to problem alcohol user. We also wanted to investigate the role of the GP in detecting and managing alcohol problems. Just asking about alcohol will pick up 50% of problem drinkers. Some are ready to change and a brief commonsense intervention is described which both informs the drinker about safe limits and may provide the motivation for reduction. The authors recognize that alcohol is a touchy subject and their approach is both shrewd and sensitive.
Reproductive health: family planning and Infertility
Authors: Anderson Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For many years, problems of fertility and contraception have been the preserve of women, and vasectomy the only point at which men became involved. However, there has been a considerable change in the recent past. Condoms have become much more widely promoted, fuelled by messages about HIV infection, and research continues for a reversible form of male contraception. Efforts are similarly being made to deal with male subfertility which makes a contribution in up to 30% of subfertile couples, and there has been a flurry of interest in the recent reports of falling sperm counts. This chapter presents the current state of the art: often enough knowledge to understand what is going on without always being able to remedy it, and a clear understanding of spermatogenesis without, as yet, a usable form of reversible contraception. Nevertheless, there are still some yawning gaps: for example, what is the psychological effect of infertility among men and how do they cope?
Cardiovascular Disease
Authors: Bethell Hugh 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is not just the major cause of death in the developed world; it is also responsible, more than any other group, for the excess of death among men. Some recent studies have suggested that cardiovascular disease is seen as a male preserve to the extent that women are under-represented both in research and in treatment. It also presents a paradox of its own as it affects men’s health; while we know so much about the causes of cardiovascular disease in general, the reasons for the male excess are still unclear. Obviously, it would be impossible to deal with every aspect of cardiovascular disease in a few pages. This chapter there-fore concentrates on those aspects that relate more clearly to men and those that shed any light on more general implications for men’s health.
Violence in the home
Authors: Bradley Fiona 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We considered leaving this topic out of a book on men’s health because it seemed to be a women’s problem. The perpetrator is usually male but the patient is usually female. At the core is the need of one gender to control the other. Doctors (and perhaps authors) turn a blind eye to it, fearing the opening of a can of worms or perhaps offending women by mentioning it. It is more difficult in general practice where the perpetrator is likely to be a patient also. This is a disturbing chapter which challenges our attitudes while providing guidance. Asking makes a difference and, indeed, may set in train a series of solutions that are not easy. The GP author explains the strategy of censure by the criminal justice system working together with a therapeutic response. It is a bleak, dark side of men’s health and we are glad we have included it in this book.
In Two Minds
Authors: Dickenson Donna , Fulford Bill (Kwm) 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In Two Minds is a practical casebook of problem solving in psychiatric ethics. Written in a lively and accessible style, it builds on a series of detailed case histories to illustrate the central place of ethical reasoning as a key competency for clinical work and research in psychiatry. Topics include risk, dangerousness and confidentiality; judgements of responsibility; involuntary treatment and mental health legislation; consent to genetic screening; dual role issues in child and adolescent psychiatry; needs assessment; cross-cultural and gender issues; rational and irrational suicide; shared decision making in multi-agency teams, and the growing role of the user’s voice in psychiatry. Key ethical concepts are carefully introduced and explained. The text is richly supported by detailed guides for further reading. There are separate chapters on teaching psychiatric ethics, including a sample seminar, and on writing a research ethics application. Each case history and discussion is followed by a critical commentary from a practitioner with relevant experience. Jim Birley adds a comparative international perspective on psychiatric ethics. Cartoons by Johnny Cowee provide punchy counterpoint! In Two Minds is the sister volume to the third edition of Sidney, Paul Chodoff and Steven Green’s highly successful Psychiatric Ethics. In providing a bridge between theory and practice, it will be essential reading for everyone concerned with improving standards in mental health care.
Male victims of sexual assault – legal issues
Authors: Adler Zsuzsanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The complexity of the law on sexual offences is perhaps best illustrated by the vast range of prohibited behaviours. The report of a Howard League Working Party (1985) on unlawful sex lists no less than 46 different offences including rape, buggery, incest, gross indecency between men, living on earnings of prostitution, and indecent expo sure. These offences differ along a number of important dimensions such as consent, sex of the perpetrator and of the victim, the nature of the activities involved, and so on.
