AbstractBackgroundRhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. Metastatic disease occurs in 16% of all RMS cases and has a poor prognosis. There are limited studies examining the outcomes specific to patients with RMS metastatic to bone marrow despite an incidence of 6% at diagnosis. Our study aims to document the outcomes, prognostic factors, and clinical courses of children presenting with RMS metastatic to bone marrow treated on Children's Oncology Group (COG) cooperative trials.MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of the patients diagnosed with RMS metastatic to bone marrow between 1997 and 2013 enrolled on one of four COG RMS clinical trials of D9802, D9803, ARST0431, and ARST08P1.ResultsWe identified 179 cases with RMS metastatic to bone marrow. Patients had a median age of 14.8 years, 58% were male, predominantly alveolar histology (76%), extremity was the most common primary site (32%), and 87% had metastatic disease to additional sites; 83% (n = 149) received radiation as a treatment modality. The 3‐ and 5‐year event‐free survival was 9.4% and 8.2%, respectively. The 3‐ and 5‐year overall survival was 26.1% and 12.6%, respectively. Age ≥10 years, alveolar histology, FOXO1 fusion presence, unfavorable primary location, higher Oberlin score, and lack of radiation were identified as poor prognostic/predictive characteristics.ConclusionsThis study represents the largest analysis of RMS metastatic to bone marrow, defining the poor prognostic outcome for these patients. These patients may be eligible for therapy deintensification or early pursuit of novel treatments/approaches that are desperately needed.

AbstractIn this manuscript, Intensity interrogation of sensitivity of the surface plasmon polariton waves (SPPs) is coherently manipulated, at the interface of four‐level dielectric medium and silver metal using prism geometry. Sensitivity of SPPs with respect to refractive index is written as . A useful control in sensitivity is reported with probe and control fields detuning, Rabi frequency and decay rate. Sensitivity is a function of probe field detuning and control field Rabi frequency. The maximum sensitivity is reported to with probe field detuning and control field Rabi frequency, while minimum sensitivity is investigated to with control field phase and control field Rabi frequency. The sensitivity in this manuscript shows useful application in biosensor and photovoltaic devices.
Moral injury and substance use among United States healthcare workers
Authors: Campbell Benjamin M. , Knipp Michael A. , Anwar Sinan S. , Hoopsick Rachel A. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractMoral injury (i.e., perpetrating, witnessing, failing to prevent, or being a victim of acts that transgress one's moral beliefs, values, or ethics) has largely been studied in military‐connected populations and is associated with a range of adverse psychological sequelae. Emerging literature suggests that healthcare workers also experience moral injury, particularly in the context of the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic. However, it is not known if moral injury contributes to substance use among healthcare workers or whether these effects might differ by gender, race/ethnicity, or occupational level. In March 2022, we collected self‐reported pilot data from a diverse sample of US healthcare workers (N = 200) We examined the cross‐sectional relationships between moral injury and several measures of substance use (i.e., current non‐medical use of prescription drugs [NMUPD], current cannabis use, current use of other illicit drugs, and hazardous drinking) using separate logistic regression models. Next, we used separate interaction models to examine if any of these relations differed by gender, race/ethnicity, or occupational level. In main effects models, healthcare workers reporting greater moral injury had greater odds of current NMUPD (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.07; p < 0.001), current use of other illicit drugs (aOR = 1.09; p < 0.01), and hazardous drinking (aOR = 1.07; p < 0.01). These relations did not differ by race/ethnicity or occupational level (ps > 0.05); however, men were more likely to report current NMUPD and hazardous drinking (ps < 0.05) in the presence of high moral injury than women healthcare workers. Our findings suggest that healthcare workers experience substantial distress related to morally injurious events, which may affect their likelihood of NMUPD, cannabis use, use of other illicit drugs, and hazardous drinking, and that men in healthcare may be particularly at risk. Healthcare organizations should address systemic issues driving moral injury (e.g., resource shortages, lack of psychosocial support) to prevent substance‐related harms among healthcare workers.

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe research on blockchain use cases is becoming critical across all disciplines as this technology is expected to transform business processes and their individual operations. However, there is a scarcity of empirical research that focuses on the implication of blockchain applications in retailing and retailers in developing countries. Thus, there are three main aims of our research; first, we explore both the drivers and the barriers for the retailers in developing countries in adopting blockchain technology. Second, we attempt to explore the impacts on the retailers of blockchain technology adoption on their retail brand communication and customer experience. Finally, we examine whether the application of blockchain technology by retailers in developing countries can help to advance the retail brand‐customer relationship. The data in this study are collected from 21 semistructured interviews with senior managers, and 3 focus groups with 21 customers from 4 case retailers. Our research is among the first attempts to explore the blockchain technology adoption empirically, and its implications by retailers in developing countries.

Published: October 2023

AbstractA 17‐month‐old, male, crossbreed dog was presented with anorexia and vomiting. Biochemistry revealed a severe increase of liver parameters with unremarkable haematology results. Abdominal ultrasound showed microhepatia and absence of gall bladder. Laparoscopic exploration and computed tomography scan confirmed the ultrasound findings. Histopathology of the liver showed multiple changes compatible with a possible ductal plate malformation. One and a half months after the discharge being on a low‐fat diet, S‐adenosylmethionine and antiemetics blood work showed a decrease in alanine transferase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma‐glutamyl transpeptidases. Nevertheless, the patient continued vomiting intermittently despite the treatment.

Internal Tides Energy Transfers and Interactions with the Mesoscale Circulation in Two Contrasted Areas of the North Atlantic
Authors: Bella Adrien , Lahaye Noé , Tissot Gilles 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe energy budget of the internal tide and its life cycle is investigated with a high resolution numerical simulation and a vertical normal mode decomposition. Two areas of interest are considered: the Azores Islands over the mid Atlantic ridge and the Gulf Stream offshore the North of the US East coast shelf break. Low mode (1 and 2) internal tides are found to propagate from 100 km (mode 2) to 1000 km (mode 1) away from their generation sites. Waves loose a significant portion of their energy as they propagate through the Gulf Stream, in contrast to the Azores domain. In the Gulf Stream domain, the mesoscale circulation is responsible for energy transfers from low to high modes internal tides, while the topographic scattering is dominant in the Azores area. This transfer of energy toward high modes favours energy dissipation. The mesoscale is significant in the energy budget of modes higher than mode 1 for both domains, and for all baroclinic modes in the Gulf Stream area. The internal tide is found to extract or loose energy toward the mesoscale circulation, but this accounts for less than 14%, of the energy scattered from low internal tide modes to higher ones once summed over all contributions of the modal energy budget.

Eyes and ‘I’
Authors: Young Karen 
Published: October 2023

AbstractEyes and ‘I’ is about, making visibile invisibilised elements of seeing and identity. From the perspective of a second-generation Chinese Canadian self-identifying womxn, this story hopes to unpack layers of making sense of identity as it relates to the experience of seeing and being seen. It explores the myriad of steady internal meanings that can be unseen in disparity with the ‘confident certainty’ of how others see us. What does it mean to see what we see? What is beyond that which meets the eye? What is behind the ‘I’ that we see? I (Karen) reflect/s on the intersecting elements of carrying multiple identities that point towards a middling standpoint that affords a privileged agile latitude of accessing opportunities and therefore perspectives. I reflect upon what it can mean to self-identify as a Han Chinese-passing Canadian, born attending to how beings call to attention dissonant narratives that reflect differently felt on the inside.
My PhD Life, and Connecting the Dots Between Here and There…
Authors: Kumar Alka 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn this piece I sift through my PhD dissertation, written a few years ago, and I read again some of the autoethnographic vignettes that I had interwoven with the theory, the methods, and my research findings. My reflections take me back to a time of sitting in coffee shops, alone but never lonely, deep in reflections, enjoying the experience of writing ‘differently.’ I remember even now that those were rare and special moments, when I gave myself permission to go down mysterious rabbit holes and describe what I saw, using creative writing modes. My reflections take me back further too, to my life back in India, pre-migration to Canada; and in this personal essay, I tease out the connections between who I was back then and how those experiences have formed me into the individual I am today. This personal essay is also an autoethnography about my PhD journey, and how the creative writing I could do as part of it helped nurture my spirit in difficult times, showing me the way forward through finding strength, voice and resilience. It is also about John Paul Lederach who taught me to ask the big picture question: why do I do what I do?
The power of Lorentzian wormholes
Authors: Blommaert Andreas , Kruthoff Jorrit , Yao Shunyu 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
As shown by Louko and Sorkin in 1995, topology change in Lorentzian signature involves spacetimes with singular points, which they called crotches. We modify their construction to obtain Lorentzian semiclassical wormholes in asymptotically AdS. These solutions are obtained by inserting crotches on known saddles, like the double-cone or multiple copies of the Lorentzian black hole. The crotches implement swap-identifications, and are classically located near an extremal surface. The resulting Lorentzian wormholes have an instanton action equal to their area, which is responsible for topological suppression in any number of dimensions.We conjecture that including such Lorentzian wormhole spacetimes is equivalent to path integrating over all mostly Euclidean smooth spacetimes. We present evidence for this by reproducing semiclassical features of the genus expansion of the spectral form factor, and of a late-time two point function, by summing over the moduli space of Lorentzian wormholes. As a final piece of evidence, we discuss the Lorentzian version of West-Coast replica wormholes.

We then turn to a neutrinoless μ+ → 3e+ 2e− decay that may arise in new-physics models with lepton-flavor-violating effective operators involving a dark Higgs hd. Following its production in μ+ → e+hd decays, the dark Higgs can undergo a decay cascade to two e+e− pairs through two dark photons, hd→ γdγd→ 2(e+e−). We show that a μ+→ 3e+ 2e− search at the Mu3e experiment, with potential sensitivity to the branching ratio at the $$ \mathcal{O} $$

MHV gluon scattering in the massive scalar background and celestial OPE
Authors: Banerjee Shamik , Mandal Raju , Manu Akavoor , Paul Partha 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this paper we study the tree-level OPE between two positive helicity outgoing gluons in the celestial CFT for the Yang-Mills theory chirally coupled to a massive scalar background. This theory breaks the translation as well as scale invariance. We compute the subleading terms in the OPE expansion and show that they are same as the subleading terms of the OPE expansions in the MHV sector. As a result the amplitudes of this theory also satisfy the set of differential equations obtained previously for MHV amplitudes in pure YM theory. This is not surprising because the symmetries coming from the leading and subleading soft gluon theorems do not change in the presence of a massive scalar background.
Artificial intelligence national strategy in a developing country
Authors: Demaidi Mona Nabil 
Published: October 2023

AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) national strategies provide countries with a framework for the development and implementation of AI technologies. Sixty countries worldwide published their AI national strategies. The majority of these countries with more than 70% are developed countries. The approach of AI national strategies differentiates between developed and developing countries in several aspects including scientific research, education, talent development, and ethics. This paper examined AI readiness assessment in a developing country (Palestine) to help develop and identify the main pillars of the AI national strategy. AI readiness assessment was applied across education, entrepreneurship, government, and research and development sectors in Palestine (case of a developing country). In addition, it examined the legal framework and whether it is coping with trending technologies. The results revealed that Palestinians have low awareness of AI. Moreover, AI is barely used across several sectors and the legal framework is not coping with trending technologies. The results helped develop and identify the following five main pillars that Palestine’s AI national strategy should focus on: AI for Government, AI for Development, AI for Capacity Building in the private, public and technical and governmental sectors, AI and Legal Framework, and international Activities.
Changes in ankle and hip joints following medial opening‐wedge high tibial osteotomy affect knee joint line obliquity
Authors: Kim Sang‐Gyun , Jun June‐Bum , Bae Il Wook , Lee Dae‐Hee 
Published: October 2023

AbstractPurposeThis study aimed to measure the change in knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) and the changes in radiologic parameters of the ankle and hip joints after medial opening‐wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO), and to evaluate the correlation and causal relationship between these parameters.MethodsThis study evaluated 109 patients who underwent MOWHTO between April 2015 and December 2021. Radiologic parameters, including KJLO, medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), ankle joint line obliquity (AJLO), and hip abduction angle (HAA), were analysed before and 1 year after MOWHTO. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify independent variables that significantly affected the change in KJLO after MOWHTO. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the cutoff value for a change in KJLO that exceeded 5° postoperatively, and the predicting values of radiologic parameters.ResultsMultiple linear regression analysis showed that changes in MPTA, AJLO, and HAA (β = 0.440, P < 0.001; β = − 0.310, P < 0.001; β = 0.164, P = 0.035, respectively) were predictors of the change in KJLO after MOWHTO. ROC analysis showed that the threshold value for a change in KJLO which exceeded 5° postoperatively was 4.6° (66.7% sensitivity, 63.8% specificity, P = 0.025). Moreover, ROC curves for predicting a change in KJLO of > 4.6° showed that the AUC was significantly higher for the change in MPTA than that of the other two parameters (P = 0.011 for AJLO and P < 0.001 for HAA).ConclusionMOWHTO increases the KJLO by valgization of the proximal tibia and causes hip adduction and ankle valgization. The postoperative ankle valgization after MOWHTO could reduce the increase in KJLO, counteracting the effects of proximal tibial valgization and hip adduction. Therefore, the effects of the hip and ankle joints should be considered to achieve an optimal KJLO and satisfactory clinical outcomes after MOWHTO.Level of studyCohort study, IV.
Towards green extraction of bioactive natural compounds
Authors: Herrero Miguel 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe increasing interest in natural bioactive compounds is pushing the development of new extraction processes that may allow their recovery from a variety of different natural matrices and biomasses. These processes are clearly sought to be more environmentally friendly than the conventional alternatives that have traditionally been used and are closely related to the 6 principles of green extraction of natural products. In this trend article, the most critical aspects regarding the current state of this topic are described, showing the different lines followed to make extraction processes greener, illustrated by relevant examples. These include the implementation of new extraction technologies, the research on new bio-based solvents, and the development of new sequential process and biorefinery approaches to produce a full valorization of the natural sources. Moreover, the future outlook in the field is presented, in which the main areas of evolution are identified and discussed.
