Published: November 2023

AbstractWound healing is a complex biological process with four main phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Current treatments such as cotton and gauze may delay the wound healing process which gives a demand for more innovative treatments. Nanofibers are nanoparticles that resemble the extracellular matrix of the skin and have a large specific surface area, high porosity, good mechanical properties, controllable morphology, and size. Nanofibers are generated by electrospinning method that utilizes high electric force. Electrospinning device composed of high voltage power source, syringe that contains polymer solution, needle, and collector to collect nanofibers. Many polymers can be used in nanofiber that can be from natural or from synthetic origin. As such, electrospun nanofibers are potential scaffolds for wound healing applications. This review discusses the advanced electrospun nanofiber morphologies used in wound healing that is prepared by modified electrospinning techniques.

Abstract
Semiconducting materials with a distinctive blend of high electrical and low thermal conductivity are required for efficient thermoelectric devices. In this aspect, Heusler alloys are potential candidates for thermoelectric materials. It has been observed that Co doping in Mn2FeAl enhances the electrical conductivity as well as reduces the thermal conductivity of the system leading to an improvement in figure of merit. The Seebeck coefficient suggested the p-type behavior over the whole temperature range, followed by a maximum at 150 K. Additionally, the electronic properties of the

suggest that the observed Raman mode is due to the electronic excitations in the system. Interestingly, this system shows a decoupling between the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity, suggesting the promising potential of

as a thermoelectric material and offering valuable insights into its electronic properties.
Cooperation dynamics in multiple correlated games: A review
Authors: Quan Ji , Ma Xiao Jian , Cui Shengjin , Wang Xianjia 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Individuals often engage in complex, non-isolated interactive environments. The interdependence manifested by strategic interaction environments across multiple dimensions or attributes has advanced the recognition of correlated games. The behavioral choices in one strategic scenario can be influenced by strategic attempts in another. How the correlation between different strategic environments affects the cooperation dynamics has raised much attention recently. In this perspective, we overview the latest progress that accounts for such cross-reciprocity. Firstly, we focus on the cases where individuals consecutively interact in environments with varying payoff structures, the values of which depend on the behaviors present in the previous game. Secondly, we pay attention to how strategic interaction affects the dynamics in multi-issue games in which individuals simultaneously interact in different environments. It holds significant implications for further examining the evolution of behavior from the perspective of correlations between different scenarios. Finally, we come up with some potential directions and points for further research.
Exercise-induced Changes in Central Adiposity During an RCT: Effect of Exercise Dose and Associations With Compensation
Authors: Dorling James L , Apolzan John W , Johannsen Neil M , Thomas Diana M , Höchsmann Christoph , Hsia Daniel S , Martin Corby K 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Context
Exercise can decrease central adiposity, but the effect of exercise dose and the relationship between central adiposity and exercise-induced compensation is unclear.

Objective
Test the effect of exercise dose on central adiposity change and the association between central adiposity and exercise-induced weight compensation.

Methods
In this ancillary analysis of a 6-month randomized controlled trial, 170 participants with overweight or obesity (mean ± SD body mass index: 31.5 ± 4.7 kg/m2) were randomized to a control group or exercise groups that reflected exercise recommendations for health (8 kcal/kg/week [KKW]) or weight loss and weight maintenance (20 KKW). Waist circumference was measured, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry assessed central adiposity. Predicted weight change was estimated and weight compensation (weight change – predicted weight change) was calculated.

Results
Between-group change in waist circumference (control: .0 cm [95% CI, −1.0 to 1.0], 8 KKW: −.7 cm [95% CI, −1.7 to .4], 20 KKW: −1.3 cm [95% CI, −2.4 to −.2]) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT; control: −.02 kg [95% CI, −.07 to .04], 8 KKW: −.01 kg [95% CI, −.07 to .04], 20 KKW: −.04 kg [95% CI, −.10 to .02]) was similar (P ≥ .23). Most exercisers (82.6%) compensated (weight loss less than expected). Exercisers who compensated exhibited a 2.5-cm (95% CI, .8 to 4.2) and .23-kg (95% CI, .14 to .31) increase in waist circumference and VAT, respectively, vs those who did not (P &lt; .01). Desire to eat predicted VAT change during exercise (β = .21; P = .03).

Conclusion
In the presence of significant weight compensation, exercise at doses recommended for health and weight loss and weight maintenance leads to negligible changes in central adiposity.

Authors: Tan Yao , Yin Jiayang , Cao Jiamin , Xie Bingyu , Zhang Feng , Xiong Wei 
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Context
Graves disease (GD) is a prevalent autoimmune disorder with a complex etiology. The association between serum metabolites and GD remains partially understood.

Objective
This study aimed to elucidate the causal connections between serum metabolites and predisposition to GD, examining potential genetic interplay.

Methods
A 1-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted on the GD analysis that included 2836 cases and 374 441 controls. We utilized genome-wide association study summary data from the FinnGen project, analyzing the causal impact of 486 serum metabolites on GD. Approaches used were the inverse variance weighted methodology, Cochran’s Q test, MR-Egger regression, MR-PRESSO, Steiger test, and linkage disequilibrium score regression analyses to assess genetic influence on metabolites and GD.

Results
19 metabolites were identified as having a pronounced association with GD risk, of which 10 maintained noteworthy correlations after stringent sensitivity assessments. Three metabolites exhibited significant heritability: kynurenine (OR 3.851, P = 6.09 × 10−4), a risk factor; glycerol 2-phosphate (OR 0.549, P = 3.58 × 10−2) and 4-androsten-3beta,17beta-diol disulfate 2 (OR 0.461, P = 1.34 × 10−2) were recognized as protective factors against GD. Crucially, all 3 exhibited no shared genetic interrelation with GD, further substantiating their potential causal significance in the disease.

Conclusion
This study unveils pivotal insights into the intricate relationships between serum metabolites and GD risk. By identifying specific risk and protective factors, it opens avenues for more precise disease understanding and management. The findings underline the importance of integrating genomics with metabolomics to fathom the multifaceted nature of GD.
Beyond (European) Philosophy: From Leibniz—via Schmalenbach—to Benjamin
Authors: Fenves Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The essay begins by demonstrating that Benjamin drew his interpretation of Leibniz's metaphysics from a little-known book by Herman Schmalenbach. In contrast to the typical view, according to which Leibniz is a proponent of the principle of continuity, Schmalenbach argues that his metaphysics is rooted in a fascination with the discontinuity of whole numbers. Benjamin transforms this view by replacing whole numbers with whole names. The essay then shows the consequence of this adaptation of Schmalenbach's work first in the introductory texts Benjamin wrote for his Origin of the German Trauerspiel and finally in his last reflections “On the Concept of History.” The fulcrum of the argument is that the replacement of number by name inadvertently led Benjamin to recognize something “worrisome” about philosophy, whose “principal coinages” are drawn, Esperanto-like, from a small number of languages, almost exclusively European.
Reclaimed Legacies and Radical Futures
Authors: Mangione Emily E. 
Published: November 2023

The assignment awarded to pioneering Black sculptor Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller—to envision an inherited past and future offerings for “Americans of Negro lineage” at the 1921 America’s Making Exposition—was daunting. The result, Ethiopia, takes this charge as an opportunity to reclaim an African birthright rooted in a decolonial counter-history of Ethiopia and Egypt. Transported in Fuller’s work beyond present conditions of archaeological dispossession and eugenicist anti-Blackness, these territories become the grounds for reestablishing kinship across the Black Atlantic in a symbolic act of repair toward the development of an African American selfhood uniquely capable of imagining a future beyond longstanding regimes of systemic racism. Foreshadowing by several decades the full flourishing of pan-Africanism, Ethiopia takes up the nascent Harlem Renaissance quest for a “New Negro” identity and singles out for particular concern the construction of Black womanhood circa 1921 atop a racialized and gendered foundation of “Egyptian” and “Ethiopian/Nubian” as contested discursive formations.
Considering the manifold genealogies of Fuller’s sculpture and its politics of diasporic relation, I aim to contextualize this polysemous signifier within the immediate legacy of a tumultuous, preceding half century. These decades saw the rise of a particular fascination with ancient Egyptian “heritage” alongside and as part of the development of racial pseudoscience in the United States, the decisive anticolonial Battle of Adwa in Ethiopia, and the momentary promise of decolonization at the end of World War I.
A Decomposition Method for the Group-Based Quay Crane Scheduling Problem
Authors: Sun Defeng , Tang Lixin , Baldacci Roberto , Chen Zihan 
Published: November 2023

This study addresses the quay crane scheduling problem (QCSP), which involves scheduling a fixed number of quay cranes to load and unload containers from ships in a maritime container terminal. The objective is to minimize the completion time while adhering to precedence, safety margin, and noncrossing constraints. Efficient scheduling of quay cranes plays a crucial role in reducing the time vessels spend at terminals. To solve the QCSP, we explore different schedule directions for the quay cranes. Specifically, we consider three directions: unidirectional, where the quay cranes maintain a consistent movement direction from upper to lower bays or vice versa after initial repositioning; bidirectional, allowing the cranes to change direction once during operations; and multidirectional, permitting freely changing movement direction during operations. For the bidirectional QCSP, we propose a new compact mathematical formulation. To obtain valid lower bounds on the optimal completion time, we derive various relaxations of this new formulation based on the different schedule directions. Our solution framework employs logic-based Benders decomposition, decomposing the problem into an assignment master problem and operation-sequence slave subproblems. Extensive computational experiments using benchmark instances from existing literature and newly generated instances validate the efficiency and effectiveness of the lower bounds and the exact solution approach.

Inferring Intermediary Risk Exposure from Trade
Authors: Anderson Chris , Liu Weiling 
Published: November 2023

We propose a novel measure of intermediary risk exposure based on the fraction of all trade that is conducted between dealers, called the interdealer trade (IDT) measure. Intuitively, when dealers’ aggregate risk exposure rises, they trade more with each other to redistribute inventory shocks. Consistent with risk exposures relating to expected returns, market-specific IDT measures add incremental return predictability across five different markets. For example, one-standard-deviation increases in the Treasury and foreign exchange (FX) IDT measures, respectively, forecast a 1.8% higher annual excess return on a five-year bond and a 3.7% higher annual excess return on currency-specific FX trades.

Co-Opetition and the Firm’s Information Environment
Authors: Bushee Brian J. , Keusch Thomas , Kim-Gina Jessica 
Published: November 2023

Some firms in the technology sector choose to cooperate with competitors (“co-opetition”) in standard setting organizations (SSOs). These SSOs create technology standards that facilitate rapid market penetration of new technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 4G. Active participation in the standard setting process requires the exchange of proprietary information with competitors. Although the goal of such information sharing is to further a technology or a product market, firms potentially receive an additional benefit from access to competitor and industry information. We examine whether contributing to SSO committees enhances a firm’s information set and allows managers to better predict future sales. We find that the centrality of a firm’s location within the network of SSO collaborators is positively related to the accuracy of the firm’s sales forecasts. This relation is stronger when firms exchange more information with direct competitors and with larger firms, when forecasting is more difficult ex ante, and when firms forecast over longer horizons. Our findings show that collaborating with competitors in the product market provides an important additional benefit of improving the manager’s information set.

Published: November 2023

Reducing the pulse repetition rate of an optical frequency comb increases the pulse energy for a given average power. This enhances the efficiency of nonlinear frequency conversion and it facilitates extending the accessible wavelength range, for example, into the extreme ultraviolet (XUV). The resulting spectrally dense frequency comb can still be used for precision spectroscopy of narrow atomic or molecular transitions. In this paper, we demonstrate a low-noise infrared frequency comb with a repetition rate as low as 40 kHz using a Yb:KYW mode-locked laser, pulse picking, and subsequent amplification. The frequency comb structure is confirmed by generating a beat note with a continuous wave reference laser. A comb mode is actively stabilized to the reference laser, and the integrated rms phase noise from 20 Hz to 20 kHz is measured to be 195 mrad.
Low-noise balanced homodyne detection with superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
Authors: Protte Maximilian , Schapeler Timon , Sperling Jan , Bartley Tim J. 
Published: November 2023

Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have been widely used to study the discrete nature of quantum states of light in the form of photon-counting experiments. We show that SNSPDs can also be used to study continuous variables of optical quantum states by performing homodyne detection at a bandwidth of 400 kHz. By measuring the interference of a continuous-wave field of a local oscillator with the field of the vacuum state using two SNSPDs, we show that the variance of the difference in count rates is linearly proportional to the photon flux of the local oscillator over almost five orders of magnitude. The resulting shot-noise clearance of (46.0 ± 1.1) dB is the highest reported clearance for a balanced optical homodyne detector, demonstrating their potential for measuring highly squeezed states in the continuous-wave regime. In addition, we measured a CMRR = 22.4 dB. From the joint click counting statistics, we also measure the phase-dependent quadrature of a weak coherent state to demonstrate our device’s functionality as a homodyne detector.
Quantification of choroidal hyperreflective layer: A swept-source optical coherence tomography study
Authors: Ahn So Min , Song Myung-Sun , Togloom Ariunaa , Oh Jaeryung 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
To investigate variation in reflectivity of choroidal layers in normal eyes.

Methods
From the swept-source optical coherence tomography database, we retrospectively included eyes with a normal fundus. Choroidal reflectivity was measured on the horizontal and vertical B-scan optical coherence tomography images. The optical barrier of the choroid was defined as the first hill in the middle of the reflectance graph from the retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch’s membrane complex to the chorioscleral junction.

Results
The optical barrier of the choroid was identified in 91 eyes of 91 individuals. The amplitude of peak reflectivity of the optical barrier of the choroid at macular center (142.85 ± 15.04) was greater than those in superior (136.12 ± 14.08) or inferior macula (135.30 ± 16.13) (P = 0.028, P = 0.008, respectively). Latency between the peak of the retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch’s membrane complex and the optical barrier of the choroid at macular center (48.11 ± 13.78 μm) was shorter than those in nasal macula (55.58 ± 19.21 μm) (P = 0.021). The amplitude of the peak reflectivity of the optical barrier of the choroid in the center negatively correlated with the latency between the retinal pigment epithelium-Bruch’s membrane complex and the optical barrier of the choroid (P < 0.001).

Conclusion
An optical barrier exists in the inner choroid of the normal eye. Its depth depends on the location within the macula. Further studies are mandatory to evaluate variations in the barrier in the eyes with chorioretinal disease.
Im Spiegel des Prinzen. Fanny Lewalds auto/biographische Selbstreflexionen als Jüdin in »Prinz Louis Ferdinand« (1849)
Authors: Michaelis-König Andree 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper focusses on Fanny Lewald’s historical novel »Prinz Louis Ferdinand« of 1849. I examine the biographical as well as cultural-historical circumstances of the work’s genesis. Lewald clearly intended it as a critique of Prussian history, but at the same time the work’s focal point turns out to be a quite personal, female perspective. This perspective is mirrored in the prince’s experiences of loss and powerlessness. This leads me to explore the poetological dimensions of a writing in which the figure of the Prussian prince becomes a prismatic center of Lewald’s self-reflection. Here, the figure of Rahel Levin, as prominently portrayed by Lewald in her novel, plays a special role. It is precisely in her that the author’s interest in the political position of the Jewess in her as well as in Rahel Levin’s time becomes apparent.
Die erste »Erez-Israelische Oper« in »Altneuland«
Authors: Feinberg Anat 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
»Ha-opera ha-erez israelit«, also known in English as the »Palestine Opera«, was founded in 1923 in the still nascent city of Tel Aviv. There was no stately opera house, no large stage for grand performances, not even a professional orchestra. The financial budget was extremely modest – and yet, over the course of only four seasons (1923–1927) no fewer than 17 operas were performed, all of them in Hebrew translation. This article takes the centenary of the first Hebrew opera as a point of departure to probe the history of this important cultural institution in pre-state Israel. The initiative for this ambitious undertaking came from Mordechai Golinkin (1875–1963), a seasoned conductor and passionate Zionist. Like Golinkin, most of the singers were of Russian origin. Remarkably, all libretti were in Hebrew with a synopsis in English and Arabic, so as to cater to a particularly broad audience. The article pays special attention to the four ›Hebrew/Jewish‹ operas which Golinkin selected during those years (one each season). This in turn raises the question as to how these categories were understood and debated at the time.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Fleshy macroalgae dominate the hard bottom, shallow waters along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). Although there are numerous reports on their ecology, geographic distribution, and to a lesser extent, vertical (depth) distribution in the northern portions of the WAP, much less is known farther south along the central portion of the WAP. Here we provide the first report of the vertical distributions of brown and red fleshy macroalgae in this region based on scuba-derived collections at 14 study sites between southern Anvers Island (64.8°S, 64.4°W) in the north and central Marguerite Bay (68.7°S, 67.5°W) in the south. Although several overstory brown macroalgal species that can be common along the northern WAP including Desmarestia anceps and Cystosphaera jacquinotii are mostly absent from the central WAP, the vertical distributions of the brown macroalgae Desmarestia menziesii and Himantothallus grandifolius are similar to the northern WAP even though their percent cover is much lower. Likewise, the vertical distribution of the 14 most widespread red macroalgae, where they occur, mirrored those known from the northern part of the WAP even though macroalgal cover, biomass, and total species richness declined markedly to the south across this region due to increasing sea ice concentrations.
