ABSTRACT
Ultra-short period planets (USPs) have orbital periods of less than 1 d. Since their masses and radii can be determined to a higher precision than long-period planets, they are the preferred targets to determine the density of planets which constrains their composition. The K2-106 system is particularly interesting because it contains two planets of nearly identical masses. One is a high-density USP, the other is a low-density planet that has an orbital period of 13 d. Combining the Gaia DR3 results with new ESPRESSO data allows us to determine the masses and radii of the two planets more precisely than before. We find that the USP K2-106 b has a density consistent with an Earth-like composition, and K2-106 c is a low-density planet that presumably has an extended atmosphere. We measure a radius of $\rm R_p=1.676_{-0.037}^{+0.037}$$\rm R_{{\oplus }}$, a mass of $\rm M_p=7.80_{-0.70}^{+0.71}$M⊕, and a density of $\rm \rho =9.09_{-0.98}^{+0.98}$$\rm g\, cm^{-3}$ for K2-106 b. For K2-106 c, we derive $R_p=2.84_{-0.08}^{+0.10}$$\rm R_{{\oplus }}$, $M_p=7.3_{-2.4}^{+2.5}$$\rm M_{{\oplus }}$, and a density of $\rm \rho = 1.72_{-0.58}^{+0.66}$$\rm g\, cm^{-3}$. We finally discuss the possible structures of the two planets with respect to other low-mass planets.

ABSTRACT
We present mid-infrared (mid-IR) imaging of the Type IIL supernova (SN) 1980K with the JWST more than 40 yr post-explosion. SN 1980K, located in the nearby (D ≈ 7 Mpc) ‘SN factory’ galaxy NGC 6946, was serendipitously captured in JWST/MIRI images taken of the field of SN 2004et in the same galaxy. SN 1980K serves as a promising candidate for studying the transitional phase between young SNe and older SN remnants and also provides a great opportunity to investigate its the close environment. SN 1980K can be identified as a clear and bright point source in all eight MIRI filters from F560W up to F2550W. We fit analytical dust models to the mid-IR spectral energy distribution that reveal a large amount (Md ≈ 0.002 M⊙) of Si-dominated dust at $T_\rm {dust}\approx 150$ K (accompanied by a hotter dust/gas component), and also computed numerical SED dust models. Radiative transfer modelling of a late-time optical spectrum obtained recently with Keck discloses that an even larger (∼0.24–0.58 M⊙) amount of dust is needed in order for selective extinction to explain the asymmetric line profile shapes observed in SN 1980K. As a conclusion, with JWST, we may see i) pre-existing circumstellar dust heated collisionally (or, partly radiatively), analogous to the equatorial ring of SN 1987A, or ii) the mid-IR component of the presumed newly-formed dust, accompanied by much more colder dust present in the ejecta (as suggested by the late-time the optical spectra).
Upper limits of 44Ti decay emission in four nearby thermonuclear supernova remnants

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
To identify progenitors and investigate evidence of He burning, we searched for decay radiation of freshly synthesized 44Ti in four young nearby thermonuclear supernova remnants: Kepler, SN 1885, G1.9+0.3, and SN 1006, by analysing the up-to-date NuSTAR archival data. No apparent flux excess from the 68 and 78 keV line emissions accompanying decay was detected above the power-law continuum applied for the remnants and the absorbed stray light. By comparing the inferred upper limits of the line flux and the initial 44Ti masses with a wide variety of supernova nucleosynthesis models, we placed constraints on the supernova progenitors. We derived the first NuSTAR line flux upper limit for Kepler and ruled out most of the double-detonation scenarios with a thick He layer under low density. We estimated, for the first time, the upper limit for SN 1885, which is high because of the large distance, yet still remains consistent with the He shell detonation. The new flux and mass limit of G1.9+0.3 derived from a longer total exposure is lower than the results from previous studies and evidently excludes explosive burning of He-rich matter. The relatively advanced age and the large spatial extent of SN 1006 have prevented meaningful constraints.

Abstract
Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) visualizes nuclei in live, unlabeled cells. As most cells are uninucleated, the number of nuclei in embryos may serve as a proxy of the cell number, providing important information on developmental status of the embryo. Importantly, no other non-invasive method currently allows for the cell number count in compacted embryos. We addressed the question of whether OCM, by providing the number of nuclei in compacted mouse embryos, may help evaluate embryo quality. We subjected compacted embryonic Day 3 (E3.0: 72 h after onset of insemination) mouse embryos to OCM scanning and correlated nuclei number and developmental potential. Implantation was assessed using an outgrowth assay (in vitro model meant to reflect embryonic ability to implant in vivo). Embryos with more cells at E3.0 (&gt;18 cells) were more likely to reach the blastocyst stage by E4.0 and E5.0 (P ≪ 0.001) and initiate hatching by E5.0 (P &lt; 0.05) than those with fewer cells (&lt;12 cells). Moreover, the number of cells at E3.0 strongly correlated with the total number of cells in E4.0 and E5.0 embryos (ρ = 0.71, P ≪ 0.001 and ρ = 0.61, P ≪ 0.001, respectively), also when only E4.0 and E5.0 blastocysts were considered (ρ = 0.58, P ≪ 0.001 and ρ = 0.56, P ≪ 0.001, respectively). Additionally, we observed a strong correlation between the number of cells at E3.0 and the number of trophectoderm cells in E4.0 and E5.0 blastocysts (ρ = 0.59, P ≪ 0.001 and ρ = 0.57, P ≪ 0.001, respectively). Importantly, embryos that had more cells at E3.0 (&gt;18 cells) were also more likely to implant in vitro than their counterparts with fewer cells (&lt;12 cells; P ≪ 0.001). Finally, we tested the safety of OCM imaging, demonstrating that OCM scanning affected neither the amount of reactive oxygen species nor mitochondrial activity in the embryos. OCM also did not hinder their preimplantation development, ability to implant in vitro, or to develop to term after transfer to recipient females. Our data indicate that OCM imaging provides important information on embryo quality. As the method seems to be safe for embryos, it could be a valuable addition to the current repertoire of embryo evaluation methods. However, our study was conducted only on mouse embryos, so the proposed protocol would require optimization in order to be applied in other species.

Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT

Background
The population with kidney failure is at increased risk of cancer and associated mortality. Relative survival can provide insight into the excess mortality, directly or indirectly, attributed to cancer in the population with kidney failure.

Methods
We estimated relative survival for people all ages receiving dialysis (n = 4089) and kidney transplant recipients (n = 3253) with de novo cancer, and for the general population with cancer in Australia and New Zealand (n = 3 043 166) over the years 1980–2019. The entire general population was the reference group for background mortality, adjusted for sex, age, calendar year and country. We used Poisson regression to quantify excess mortality ratios.

Results
Five-year relative survival for all-site cancer was markedly lower than that for the general population for people receiving dialysis [0.25, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.23–0.26] and kidney transplant recipients (0.55, 95% CI 0.53–0.57). In dialysis, excess mortality was more than double (2.16, 95% CI 2.08–2.25) that of the general population with cancer and for kidney transplant recipients 1.34 times higher (95% CI 1.27–2.41). There was no difference in excess mortality from lung cancer between people with kidney failure and the general population with cancer. Comparatively, there was a significant survival deficit for people with kidney failure, compared with the general population with cancer, for melanoma, breast cancer and prostate cancers.

Conclusion
Decreased cancer survival in kidney failure may reflect differences in multi-morbidity burden, reduced access to treatment, or greater harm from or reduced efficacy of treatments. Our findings support research aimed at investigating these hypotheses.

Abstract

Background
The aim of this study was to describe the implementation of integrated palliative care (PC) and the intensity of care in the last 3 months before death for patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Materials and Methods
We conducted a multicentric study of all adult patients with metastatic breast cancer who died over a 4-month period. Complete data were collected and checked from clinical records, including PC interventions and criteria regarding EOL care aggressiveness.

Results
A total of 340 decedent patients from 12 comprehensive cancer centres in France were included in the study. Sixty-five percent met the PC team with a median time of 39 days between the first intervention and death. In the last month before death, 11.5% received chemotherapy, the frequency of admission to intensive care unit was 2.4%, and 83% experienced acute hospitalization. The place of death was home for 16.7%, hospitalization for 63.3%, PC unit for 20%. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed factors independently associated with a higher frequency of chemotherapy in the last month before death: having a dependent person at home, meeting for the first time with a PC team &lt; 30 days before death, and time between the first metastasis and death below the median.

Conclusion
PC team integration was frequent and late for patients with metastatic breast cancer. However, PC intervention &gt; 30 days is associated with less chemotherapy in the last month before death. Further studies are needed to better understand how to implement a more effective mode of PC integration for patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Austrian Venice, 1815–1866
Authors: Romano Dennis 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The construction of the railway bridge linking Venice to the mainland is symptomatic of the radical changes that Venice faced in the nineteenth century, one of the most momentous periods in the city’s history. The bridge points to the major trends of the time, including the growing heavy industrialization of the city, the increasing popularity of tourism, debates over historic conservation versus restoration, and Venice’s uncertain relationship to the emerging Italian nation-state. In a revolt against their Austrian overlords, the Venetians looked both back to their old Republic and forward to unification with Italy but could not overcome the centuries-old city/terraferma divide. Venice captured the Romantic imagination as a place of disease, decay, and death; and the lagoon and water took on new significance as an obstacle to be overcome with bridges and the infilling of canals. In 1866 Venice became part of the Kingdom of Italy.
Jerusalem through the Ages

Published: February 2024

Abstract
What makes Jerusalem special? Why is it sacred to billions of followers of the three Abrahamic faiths worldwide? What drew the first inhabitants to this spot, and how did it become one of the most contested places on earth? Jerusalem Through the Ages answers these and other questions as it tells Jerusalem’s story from its beginnings to the Middle Ages. Each chapter focuses on a key moment of transition in the city’s long and turbulent history, enabling readers to experience Jerusalem’s many transformations as it changed hands and populations—Jebusites and Canaanites, Israelites and Judahites, Greeks and Romans, Jews and Christians, Muslims, and Crusaders.
Judahite Jerusalem (587 bce)
Authors: Magness Jodi 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter focuses on Jerusalem one year before the Babylonians destroyed the city and Solomon’s temple and exiled the inhabitants. After Solomon’s death, the United Kingdom had split into two: the kingdom of Israel in the north, with its capital (eventually) at Samaria; and the southern kingdom of Judah, with its capital at Jerusalem. In 722 bce, the kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Assyrian Empire and its inhabitants were sent into exile. Jerusalem’s population exploded as refugees from the northern kingdom poured into the city, creating a new suburb on the southwestern hill. Two decades later the Assyrians besieged but did not take Jerusalem, which had been provisioned in advance by king Hezekiah with a new wall and water system.
Roman Jerusalem (Aelia Capitolina) (200 ce)
Authors: Magness Jodi 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Jewish hopes of rebuilding the temple were crushed when the emperor Hadrian announced plans to refound Jerusalem as a pagan Roman city named Aelia Capitolina, with a temple on the Temple Mount dedicated to the city’s new patron deity, Capitoline Jupiter. Hadrian’s announcement sparked the outbreak of a Second Jewish Revolt against Rome (132–135 ce), which ended disastrously for the Jews. Hadrian established Aelia Capitolina as planned, banned Jews from the city and its environs, and changed the name of the province from Judea to Syria-Palestina. Aelia Capitolina displays features typical of Roman city planning, including a grid created by intersecting north-south and east-west streets and forums with public buildings such as basilicas.
Latinizing Milton in the English West Indies
Authors: Mennis Katie 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses Thomas Power’s Latin translation of Paradise Lost in ways that highlight the impression that place can have on language. After publishing book 1 of his translation in Cambridge in 1691, Power travelled to the English West Indies to preach in Bermuda, Antigua, and Nevis from 1693 until his early death in 1698. This chapter shows that Power continued to translate Paradise Lost into Latin after his voyage, completing his translation in manuscripts. From book 2 onwards, colonial discourse becomes central to Power’s reading of Paradise Lost and, as the translation develops this discourse, the significance of Latin as its medium is transformed. The translation prioritizes three key Miltonic themes—vision, divine accommodation, and colonialism—mediated by Power’s reading and citation of Augustine. An awareness of Power’s context in the English West Indies enables us to see a different side to Latin translation, as an imperial venture.
The Bering Sea Fur Seal Arbitration—The Lawyers Try, But Fail, to Save the Seals
Authors: Crook John R 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In 1893, the United States and the United Kingdom resorted to international arbitration to resolve a bitter dispute triggered by US arrests of Canadian vessels hunting fur seals at sea in the North Pacific. The fashion industry’s demand for seal furs had led to extensive pelagic hunting that threatened the seal herd’s survival. The United States claimed rights to protect the seals, which summered and gave birth to their young on the US-owned Pribilof Islands, partly based on misunderstandings regarding historic Russian rights thought to have been acquired with the US purchase of Alaska. The arbitration tribunal rejected these US claims to jurisdiction and its invitation to develop nineteenth-century international law to protect a threatened species. While the tribunal ruled for the United Kingdom, it also exercised an unusual power to devise its own regime intended to preserve the seals. The tribunal’s regime, proclaimed without a sound scientific foundation, failed and pelagic sealing increased. As the seal population neared collapse, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States agreed in 1911 on the North Pacific Fur Seal Convention, a landmark in the development of international law for the protection of living resources.
Apuleius in European Literature
Authors: Harrison Stephen , May Regine 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The Latin romance of Cupid and Psyche by Apuleius (second century ce), in which the god of love falls in love with a mortal princess, is one of the most charming, sophisticated, and durable love stories from the Greco-Roman world. It has had a particularly rich reception in literature since the Renaissance. This study is the first to provide an overview of its influence in European literature since 1650, showing its particular importance in the France of Louis XIV, in the Germany of Goethe, and especially in literature in English, and its close connection with the development of the European genres of novel and fairy tale.
Cupid and Psyche, Decadence, and Fairy Tales, 1885–1905
Authors: Harrison Stephen , May Regine 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The famous fairy-tale-style version of the ‘Cupid and Psyche’ story in Walter Pater’s Marius the Epicurean (1885), closely examined here, was not only a major motivation for the 1890s fairy stories of Oscar Wilde, but also an influence on the ‘Dutch Oscar Wilde’, the major novelist Louis Couperus, who in 1898 wrote a full and interestingly fantastic version of the ‘Cupid and Psyche’ story entitled Psyche. C&P is thus central to British Decadence, and leaves further traces in continental Decadence in the work of J. K. Huysmans and Gabriele D’Annunzio. Another British strand in this period is the work of Andrew and Nora Lang, which combined the early anthropology of the folk tale with the presentation of stories for children, both important for C&P as they presented it.
(Un)thinking Philosophy
Authors: Allen-Paisant Jason 
Published: February 2024

AbstractEnergized by the introduction’s notes and aphorisms that set up the book’s philosophical parameters, this chapter is concerned with the place of poetry in and as philosophy, locating the inspirations for this line of thought in the work of Césaire, which, as the chapter explains, is engaged, not just in thinking knowledge, but more broadly, Western philosophy’s apparatus of what it means to be a thinking being: Césaire’s work is engaged in a praxis of thinking thinking. His concern with an African metaphysics of ‘poetry’—involving the relationship between poetry and spirit—and the question of what it contributes to philosophy, and more particularly to epistemology, takes on pressing importance in the light of colonialism, whose domination is predicated on the hegemonic disruption and erasure of indigenous knowledges. Through his re-evaluation of Western epistemology, Césaire shows that what is at stake in African/diasporic, and indeed planetary, futures, is a radical reframing of the category of philosophy and the possibility of an alternative relation to objects. The issue of coloniality’s imbrication in a Western ontology of objects takes on amplified importance in the light of current capitalist crises, including ecological collapse.
Possession as Paradigm of Consciousness
Authors: Allen-Paisant Jason 
Published: February 2024

AbstractPursuing the reflection on spirit and poetry, this chapter particularizes Césaire’s views on poetry through the lens of spirit possession. It shows how spirit possession offers a philosophical paradigm through which Césaire challenges the narrative of European humanism, anchoring Négritude in an alternative, decolonial sense of what it means to be human. Articulating a view of humanness that connects the world of ancient Greece to that of Haitian Vodou, Césaire’s theorization of ‘poetry’ (as a mode of knowledge, engagement, and production that involves energy exchanges and human participation in the living world) brings useful perspectives to current debates surrounding capitalist crises, ecological collapse, and epistemic freedom. Through the links the chapter makes between ‘spirit’, ‘poiesis’, and ‘animism’ here, it expands understandings of Césaire’s work and Négritude. From a weak iteration of Pan-Africanism or strong senses of diaspora, the latter is reframed as a deep poetic sensibility with its own metaphysics and ethical commitment to earth and land, and their entanglement with Being.
The Religion of the Ṛgveda
Authors: Oberlies Thomas 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This comprehensive new presentation of the religion of the Ṛgveda is the result of an attempt to extrapolate historical circumstances from that literary text and present them chiefly from the perspective of the adherents to this religion. Many aspects of this religion that remained largely untreated until now are explored in depth by focusing on the interplay of societal organisation, religious concepts, and the structure and purpose of rituals and rites. Just as the way of life among the Vedic tribes alternates between peaceful settling and predatory raids, so too their power structures take widely varying forms (monoarchic versus an- or polyarchic), and different gods come to the fore in these different phases. Which rituals are to be performed at what times is also influenced by these fluctuations. The rituals are carried out by ‘priests’ embodying the gods of the Rigvedic pantheon. Here we encounter particular associations—such as that of the war god Indra with the priest who recites the hymns inviting the gods—that help us solve many of the riddles that the text still poses to this day. Out of what has been called the ‘Vedic haze’ in which the poets envelop the visions that they put into words, the picture emerges of a religion that reflects their society and its institutions.
The Ṛgveda
Authors: Oberlies Thomas 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The text of the Ṛgveda consists of 1,028 hymns, short poems of mostly eight to twelve stanzas. Also referred to as songs, they are crafted according to a highly developed tradition of poetry and metre and are arranged in the Ṛgveda according to the family membership of the poets who composed them. Significantly, this chapter notes the relationship of Ṛgvedic hymns to the poetry of other old Indo-European languages, such as the Old Norse Edda and texts of classical antiquity. A comparison of these sources reveals many parallels, providing insights that point to what are possibly aspects of an Indo-European poetry. The strong ties of the Ṛgveda to the Old Avestan texts of Zoroastrianism are highlighted.
