ABSTRACT
Our objective is to improve the view of the seismicity in the Caucasus region using instrumental data between 1951 and 2019. To create a comprehensive catalog, we combine the bulletins of local agencies and the International Seismological Centre, and use an advanced single-event location algorithm, iLoc, to obtain better locations. We show that relocations with iLoc, using travel-time predictions from the 3D upper mantle velocity model, Regional Seismic Travel Time, improve the locations. Then, using the iLoc results as initial locations and the ground-truth events identified in the iLoc results as fix points, we apply Bayesloc, a multiple-event location algorithm, to simultaneously relocate the entire seismicity of the Caucasus region. We demonstrate that the simultaneous relocation of the seismicity with Bayesloc clarifies the location and geometry of major active structures accommodating ongoing convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian continents between the Black and Caspian Seas. Among our major findings is the confirmation of widespread seismicity in the mantle beneath the northern flank of the Greater Caucasus and central Caspian, resulting from north-dipping subduction of the Kura and South Caspian basins and the identification of a discrete band of crustal seismicity beneath the southern flank of the Greater Caucasus.

Abstract
We determined the rupture model of the 2021 Mw 7.1 Fukushima earthquake near northeastern Japan in this study and adopted this model to investigate the cause of this earthquake and its aftershocks. The rupture model was obtained through joint inversion of teleseismic, strong-motion and geodetic data. It is shown that the slips were predominantly distributed on the southwest side of the earthquake epicenter, indicating a unilateral rupture event. We observed that the seismic moment was released in three time periods, producing four slip patches on the fault plane. Through comparison, we demonstrated that our joint inversion model was more reliable in describing the rupture process of the Fukushima earthquake than the automatic inversion models determined using only strong-motion data. By jointly analyzing the slip distribution and seismic velocity structure, we found a good correlation between the slip patches and VP/VS anomalies, suggesting that structural heterogeneities along the fault zone played a critical role in controlling the rupture process of the Fukushima earthquake. In addition, most aftershocks were located in the region characterized by small slips and high VP/VS, and we demonstrated that they were caused by stress changes due to the presence of fluids and the rupture of the mainshock.
Is Melody “Dead?”: A Large-scale Analysis of Pop Music Melodies from 1960 through 2019
Authors: Clark Beach , Arthur Claire 
Published: November 2023

In this paper we theorize that there are specific musical features that contribute to a melody’s character which we define as melodiousness and conduct a large-scale corpus analysis to examine whether there are differences in the melodiousness of popular hit songs from the 1960s compared with present-day pop songs. To carry out the corpus analysis, we use a new approach for generating symbolic data for popular music melodies to overcome the lack of preexisting symbolic data. In addition, we attempt to answer the question of whether any key characteristics of melodiousness appear to have changed or shifted in notable ways over time.
Presenting the SWTC: A Symbolic Corpus of Themes from John Williams’ Star Wars Episodes I-IX
Authors: Arthur Claire , Lehman Frank , McNamara John 
Published: November 2023

This paper presents a new symbolic corpus of musical themes from the complete Star Wars trilogies (Episodes I-IX) by John Williams. The corpus files are made available in multiple formats (.krn, .sib., and .musicxml) and include melodic, harmonic, and formal information. The Star Wars Thematic Corpus (SWTC) contains a total of 64 distinctive, recurring, and symbolically meaningful themes and motifs, commonly referred to as leitmotifs. Through this corpus we also introduce a new humdrum standard for non-functional harmony encodings, **harte (Harte et al., 2005; Harte, 2010). This report details the motivation, describes the transcription and encoding processes, and provides some brief summary statistics. While relatively small in scale, the SWTC represents a unified collection from one of the most prolific and influential composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, and the under-studied subset of film and multimedia musical material in general. We hope the SWTC will provide insights into John Williams’ compositional style, as well as prove useful in comparisons against other thematic corpora from film and beyond.
Social-Cognitive Determinants of Patients’ Hand Hygiene Decisions and the Role of Mental Health: Application of the Health Action Process Approach
Authors: Keller Franziska Maria , Dahmen Alina , Kötting Lukas , Derksen Christina , Lippke Sonia 
Published: November 2023

Background: Patients’ effective hand hygiene helps to reduce healthcare-associated infections, prevents the spread of nosocomial infections and communicable diseases, such as COVID-19. This study aimed to describe effective hand hygiene decisions based on the Health Action Process Ap-proach (HAPA) and whether this pattern is invariant for mental health.
Methods: Data were collected cross-sectionally from patients who had previously been admitted to a hospital (N=279; study 1) and longitudinally from psychosomatic rehabilitation patients (N=1,073; study 2). The fit of the HAPA framework and changes in hand hygiene decisions regarding com-pliance, as well as social-cognitive variables of the HAPA, and mental health status were examined.
Results: The trimmed HAPA framework fitted the data well (χ2=27.1, df=12, p&lt;.01, CMIN/df=2.26, CFI=.97, RMSEA=.08). According to multi-group structural equation modeling, the HAPA model with hand hygiene behavior were found to be invariant with regard to mental health.
Conclusion: The trimmed HAPA framework revealed to be a generic framework in explaining so-cial-cognitive processes relating to hand hygiene decisions. Helping individuals to perform hand hygiene recommendation requires intention formation and bridging the intention-behavior gap. This can be done by promoting planning and self-efficacy. All processes appear generic to partic-ipants with and without mental health challenges.
Retained Gastric Contents After Adequate Fasting Associated with GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Use
Authors: Kittner Sarah L. , Talbott Ashley L. , Vishneski Susan R. , Narbaiza Julio , Shields John S. 
Published: November 2023

Cases:
Three patients presented for orthopaedic surgery on glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) medications with a minimum fasting time of 10 hours. Gastric ultrasound confirmed the presence of retained solids in the stomach; all 3 cases were postponed.

Conclusion:
There is growing concern for increased perioperative aspiration risk related to delayed gastric emptying associated with GLP-1 RA and a paucity of literature to guide perioperative management. This may cause case cancellation over safety concerns for elective procedures. The presented cases illustrate the association of GLP-1 RA drugs and delayed gastric emptying causing case postponement.

Abstract
—New materials on the stratigraphy and structural features of the Bathonian–Neocomian sections of the Anabar–Lena basin are presented. In the territory adjacent to the Taimyr mountain-folded system, a clinoform-like structure of the Upper Jurassic strata has been revealed, which are characterized by high thickness compared to adjacent sections in the east of this region. The lectostratotype of the Chernokhrebetnaya Formation (uppermost Lower Oxfordian–lowermost Volgian) is proposed. The most complete and continuous stratigraphic section is compiled, its litho- and chronostratigraphic correlations are given comparing to the sections of adjacent territories characterized in detail by fossil assamblages. The evidences for a new lithostratigraphic division of the territory are provided, facies zoning of sediments is clarified, a thickness chart of the Upper Bathonian–Boreal Berriasian strata of the Khatanga–Olenek interfluve is proposed.

Published: November 2023

L’industria del fashion e del lusso è un’eccellenza tutta europea, il cui valore costituisce senza dubbio un importante apporto all’economia dell’Unione. Secondo i dati raccolti dalla Commissione Europea, infatti, in tale indotto sono impiegate circa 5 milioni di persone, il valore dei beni di lusso (quali abbigliamento, accessori, gioielli e orologi, articoli in pelle, profumi e cosmetici), provenienti dalle grandi marche europee, rappresenta il 74% del valore mondiale di tutti i prodotti della stessa categoria, con una stima delle esportazioni che si aggira sui 260 miliardi di euro, corrispondenti al 10% di tutte le esportazioni europee (su questi dati, si veda la pagina web: https://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/fashion/high-end-industries/eu_it).
El traslado internacional de domicilio: novedades de la Sentencia del TJUE Polbud

Published: November 2023

La regulación del traslado internacional del domicilio fue ya propuesto por el Parlamento Europeo (recomendaciones de 2009 y 2012 y el Informe de 9 de mayo de 2017) y la Comisión presentará en breve una propuesta con un paquete de medidas sobre fusiones y escisiones transfronterizas en el que parece que se incluirá una armonización de esta figura. Entre tanto se ha dictado la Sentencia del caso Polbud, que como vamos a ver supone una importante novedad en la jurisprudencia del TJUE sobre estos traslados y en general sobre el principio de libertad de establecimiento aplicado a las sociedades mercantiles.
LAS FUENTES DEL DERECHO DE SOCIEDADES Y LA ORDEN JUS/319/2018, DE 21 DE MARZO

Published: November 2023

Pocos temas serán más clásicos y conocidos para el jurista que el relativo a las fuentes del Derecho, por lo que parece adecuado reflexionar brevemente sobre él a propósito de su relieve en el ámbito específico del Derecho de sociedades.En verdad, no es el de las fuentes un tema que haya preocupado especialmente a los societaristas, quizá porque, en tal disciplina, las mismas sean pocas (o, al menos, no demasiadas), claras en su apariencia y, por lo común, de rango legal. Esta somera descripción, necesitada, claro está, de muchos matices, refleja la tradición específica del Derecho de sociedades entre nosotros, sin perjuicio de su sustancial acomodo a la situación presente. Se comprende, por ello, que el jurista interesado en dicha disciplina asuma con naturalidad ese estado de cosas, sin que se obvien por ello las necesarias matizaciones. Menos acertada es, por lo demás, la ausencia de toda perspectiva crítica, que habría de derivarse inevitablemente de la teoría de las fuentes del Derecho o, tal vez mejor, de la necesidad de disponer de una orientación sólida en nuestro ámbito desde el terreno de la política legislativa.

El pasado mes de marzo el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea (en adelante TJUE) se pronunció sobre una de las temáticas que más controversia ha generado entre las entidades bancarias y sus clientes en los últimos años: el Índice de Referencia de los Préstamos Hipotecarios (en adelante IRPH).
El IRPH es un índice oficial que emite el Banco de España y que se publica en elBoletín Oficial del Estado (BOE) de forma mensual. El IRPH ha sido utilizado por lasentidades bancarias para poder llevar a cabo el cálculo de los préstamos hipotecarios contratados por sus clientes. Este índice se calcula, a su vez, según la media de los tipos de los préstamos concedidos por el sector en los últimos tres años más un diferencial.

Abstract
Lifestyle modifications, metformin, and linagliptin reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in people with prediabetes. The efficacy of such interventions may be enhanced by the gut microbiota (GM), which mediate glucose-lowering effects through short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). We determined the effect of combined linagliptin/metformin vs metformin monotherapy on GM composition and its relationship to insulin sensitivity (IS) and pancreatic β-cell function (Pβf) in patients with prediabetes without previous treatment. A double-blind, randomized parallel clinical trial was conducted in 167 Mexican adults for 12 months. These treatments increased the abundance of GM SCFA-producing bacteria (Metformin (Fusicatenibacter and Blautia) and Linagliptin/metformin (Roseburia, Bifidobacterium and [Eubacterium] hallii group). We performed a mediation analysis with two structural equation models (SEM). SEM shows that bacterial genera are weakly associated with IS and Pβf. Therefore, metabolic improvements observed with these interventions are due to a greater extent to the antidiabetic drug's effect.
Cloning and Expression Analysis of Aerenchyma Development Related Gene ShRBOH1 in Saussurea inversa Raab-Straube

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Saussurea inversa Raab-Straube is a typical alpine plant with well-developed aerenchyma as its most representative structural feature. It has important theoretical significance for investigating the adaptive mechanisms of alpine plants to the environment through studying the formation and development of aerenchyma in S. inversa. In this study, the aerenchyma development-related gene ShRBOH1 (GenBank accession number OP727799) was cloned from S. inversa by RT-PCR with RACE technology. Sequence analysis showed that the cDNA of ShRBOH1 was 2,158 bp in length, which contained an open reading frame of 2,031 bp encoding 676 amino acids. Subcellular localization prediction showed that the ShRBOH1 protein was located in the cytoplasmic membrane, which was consistent with the localization of the NADPH protein. Comparison of homology amino acid sequence indicated that ShRBOH1 had higher similarity with CcRBOH1 of Cynara cardunculus L.. The qRT-PCR analysis showed that the ShRBOH1 gene was expressed in roots, stems and leaves, and the expression level in stems was significantly lower than in other tissues; the expression of the ShRBOH1 gene was down-regulated under UV stress, up-regulated under cold stress, and first up-regulated, then down-regulated and finally up-regulated under hypoxia stress. By comparing the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) content under the three kinds of stresses, the results showed that the changes were significant only under hypoxic stress and were positively correlated with the expression of ShRBOH1. It is hypothesized that ShRBOH1 positively regulates the formation of aerenchyma by ROS mediation, suggesting that the aerenchyma is mainly an important structure for adapting to hypoxia stress in alpine environments.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Realization of higher-order multistates with mutual interstate switching in ferroelectric materials is a perpetual drive for non-Boolean high-density storage devices and beyond-Moore technologies. Here we demonstrate experimentally that antiferroelectric van der Waals CuInP2S6 films can be controllably stabilized into double, quadruple, and sextuple polarization states, and a system harboring polarization order of six is also reversibly tunable into order of four or two. Furthermore, for a given polarization order, mutual interstate switching can be achieved via moderate electric field modulation. First-principles studies of CuInP2S6 multilayers help to reveal that the double, quadruple, and sextuple states are attributable to the existence of respective single, double, and triple ferroelectric domains with antiferroelectric interdomain coupling and Cu ion migration, as also corroborated by explicit ferroelectric exchange bias analysis. These findings offer appealing platforms for developing novel multistate ferroelectric devices, while the underlining mechanism is transformative to other non-volatile material systems.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Gait assessment is crucial for determining the progression of functional impairment in people with neck pain. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate gait characteristics under tandem walking and dual-tasking in people with chronic non-specific neck pain.
Methods
Twenty-one adults with a history of non-specific neck pain and twenty-two matched control adults walked on a motorized treadmill under normal and tandem walking with and without a cognitive task. Gait spatiotemporal variables were determined using the motion analysis system.
Results
The neck pain group had significantly lower stride length, stride velocity, and higher variability of stride length and stride velocity compared to the controls in all conditions (p < .05, ηp2 ≥ .09). All participants showed a shorter stride length, and lower stride length variability under cognitive dual-task (p < .01, ηp2 > .10). Tandem walking resulted in lower cadence in the chronic neck pain group compared to the controls, with a large effect size (p = .02, ηp2 = .11).
Conclusions
Given these findings, it can be concluded that neck pain contributed to disturbance of gait parameters. Dual-tasking did not change gait parameters in people with neck pain differently than controls. Further research is required to examine the dual-task gait with more challenging cognitive and walking tasks in people with neck pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reoperation for bleeding (ROB) after emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been identified as an independent risk factor for mortality with the incidence of in-hospital death ranging from 9–22%. A potential cause might be coagulopathy induced by dilution due to liberal fluid management. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two volume resuscitation protocols on ROB after CABG.METHODS In this retrospective single-center study, all patients who underwent emergency CABG (n = 265) at our institution between 2011 and 2020 were included. From 2018, postoperative hemodynamic management was performed with lower volume administration and higher vasoactive support. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of ROB within 48 hours after intensive care unit admission according to altered fluid resuscitation strategy. Consecutively, the influence of fluid intake, fluid output, fluid balance, blood loss, and inotropic demand on ROB were analyzed.RESULTS The incidence of ROB was independent from the volume resuscitation protocol (P = .3). The ROB group had a higher perioperative risk, which was observed in EuroSCORE II and laboratory values. Fluid intake (P = .021), fluid balance (P = .001), and norepinephrine administration (P = .004) were associated with ROB. Fluid output and blood loss were not associated with ROB (P = .22). Post-test probability was low among all variables.CONCLUSIONS Although fluid management might have an impact on specific postoperative complications, different fluid resuscitation protocols did not alter the incidence of ROB after emergency CABG.Ethics approval and consent to participate: This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Northwestern and Central Switzerland.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study aimed at exploring the lived experiences of widows in an urban area of Mzuzu. Although limited in number, research on widowhood has been conducted in isolated locations. The study was done to understand how widows endure social-cultural difficulties through their lived experiences while living in the city. Data were gathered from ten (n = 10) participants using in-depth interviews. Both purposive and snowball sampling approaches were used to recruit study participants. Data were analyzed using Riesman’s approach of thematic narrative analysis. Findings reveal experiences of violence, deprivation, social stigma, and psychological trauma among the widows. This study suggests the need for religious leaders to speak out against the malpractice and the judiciary, media and civil rights organizations to strengthen public education regarding malpractice.
