Abstract
The species Peucedanum ledebourielloides, a medicinally important herb, has previously been placed in Peucedanum s.l. based on dorsally compressed mericarps with slightly prominent dorsal ribs and narrowly winged lateral ribs. However, this genus has now been re-delimited in a narrow sense, namely Peucedanum s.s., further recognized by ternate leaves and glabrous plants, so that the taxonomic position of P. ledebourielloides is unknown. To investigate the taxonomic position of this species, we sequenced and assembled the complete plastomes for two samples of P. ledebourielloides. Phylogenetic analyses based on 79 protein-coding genes showed that the samples of P. ledebourielloides formed a separate clade and were distant from Peucedanum morisonii, a representative member of Peucedanum s.s., implying that P. ledebourielloides cannot not be placed in Peucedanum s.s. Additionally, plastome comparisons and chromosome studies indicated the clear specificity of P. ledebourielloides. In particular, pinnate leaves and dorsally compressed mericarps densely covered with forked scabrous bristles, slightly prominent dorsal ribs, narrowly winged lateral ribs, and one vitta in each furrow and two vittae on the commissure clearly distinguished P. ledebourielloides from Peucedanum s.s. and other genera of Apiaceae. Hence, a new genus, Pseudopeucedanum gen. nov., was established to accommodate this species. Our results improve the taxonomy of the family Apiaceae and provide guidance for the taxonomic revision of other taxa that are difficult to place systematically.
Schumpeter’s Gesetz and Gestalt in space: exploring evolutionary economic geographies of money and finance
Authors: Bieri David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper argues that money and finance are not sufficiently integrated into the research agenda of evolutionary economic geography (EEG). I identify two dimensions of Joseph Schumpeter’s vision of the inherent instability of capitalism as promising for the EEG research agenda: First, the ‘law’ (Gesetz) of a disequilibrating role of credit creation and innovations in financial relations reveals the deeply ‘monetary character’ of his theory of development. Second, Schumpeter’s vision of an evolutionary ‘form’ (Gestalt) of capitalism describes a social process that rests on macro-drivers of institutional change. Money and finance thus simultaneously act as both static indicators and dynamic drivers of economic development in space.
An adjoint-based optimization method for jointly inverting heterogeneous material properties and fault slip from earthquake surface deformation data
Authors: Puel S , Becker T W , Villa U , Ghattas O , Liu D 
Published: November 2023

SUMMARY
Analysis of tectonic and earthquake-cycle associated deformation of the crust can provide valuable insights into the underlying deformation processes including fault slip. How those processes are expressed at the surface depends on the lateral and depth variations of rock properties. The effect of such variations is often tested by forward models based on a priori geological or geophysical information. Here, we first develop a novel technique based on an open-source finite-element computational framework to invert geodetic constraints directly for heterogeneous media properties. We focus on the elastic, coseismic problem and seek to constrain variations in shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio, proxies for the effects of lithology and/or temperature and porous flow, respectively. The corresponding nonlinear inversion is implemented using adjoint-based optimization that efficiently reduces the cost function that includes the misfit between the calculated and observed displacements and a penalty term. We then extend our theoretical and numerical framework to simultaneously infer both heterogeneous Earth’s structure and fault slip from surface deformation. Based on a range of 2-D synthetic cases, we find that both model parameters can be satisfactorily estimated for the megathrust setting-inspired test problems considered. Within limits, this is the case even in the presence of noise and if the fault geometry is not perfectly known. Our method lays the foundation for a future reassessment of the information contained in increasingly data-rich settings, for example, geodetic GNSS constraints for large earthquakes such as the 2011 Tohoku-oki M9 event, or distributed deformation along plate boundaries as constrained from InSAR.
Effect of a mindfulness training app on a cigarette quit attempt: an investigator-blinded, 58-county randomized controlled trial
Authors: Black David S , Kirkpatrick Matthew G 
Published: November 2023

AbstractBackgroundCigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable cancers. A majority of the 34 million people who currently smoke report wanting to quit. Mindfulness training apps offer a guided telehealth intervention to foster individuals’ behavioral meditation practice. We present the main outcomes of a parallel-group randomized controlled trial that tested app-based mindfulness training vs attention control on smoking behavior.MethodsWe enrolled adult residents from across California who smoked daily and were willing to make a quit attempt (N = 213). Participants completed daily sessions in 10-minute segments for 14 consecutive days. Participants then started a quit attempt and reported daily smoking for 28 days following the quit date using the timeline follow-back measure.ResultsSeven-day point-prevalence abstinence for each week during the 4-week quit period ranged from 21.8% to 27.7% for app-based mindfulness training and 17.9% to 19.6% for controls. The intention-to-treat sample revealed that app-based mindfulness training outperformed controls on the proportion of abstinence days during the quit period (odds ratio = 2.00, 95% confidence interval = 1.03 to 3.87, P = .041). Although the 7-day point prevalence abstinence for week 4 favored app-based mindfulness training, significance was not reached (odds ratio = 1.65, 95% confidence interval = 0.84 to 3.23, P = .148). The mean number of cigarettes smoked per day among smokers was 4.95 for app-based mindfulness training vs 5.69 for controls (odds ratio = 0.81, 95% confidence interval = 0.71 to 0.92, P = .002), suggesting harm reduction in continued smokers.ConclusionA mindfulness training app prescribed for 2 weeks leading up to a quit date showed an advantage over controls for total abstinence days and fewer cigarettes smoked in a diverse sample consisting of urban and rural residents. These findings yield implications for the use of apps to reduce exposure to the carcinogenic properties of cigarette smoke.

Published: November 2023

ABSTRACT
Hubble constant H0 and weighted amplitude of matter fluctuations S8 determinations are biased to higher and lower values, respectively, in the late universe with respect to early universe values inferred by the Planck collaboration within flat ΛCDM cosmology. If these anomalies are physical, that is, not due to systematics, they naively suggest that H0 decreases and S8 increases with effective redshift. Here, subjecting matter density today Ωm to a prior, corresponding to a combination of Planck CMB and BAO data, we perform a consistency test of the Planck-ΛCDM cosmology and show that S8 determinations from fσ8 (z) constraints increase with effective redshift. Due to the redshift evolution, a ∼3σ tension in the S8 parameter with Planck at lower redshifts remarkably becomes consistent with Planck within 1σ at high redshifts. This provides corroborating support for an S8 discrepancy that is physical in origin. We further confirm that the flat ΛCDM model is preferred over a theoretically ad hoc model with a jump in S8 at a given redshift. In the absence of the CMB+BAO Ωm prior, we find that &gt;3σ tensions with Planck in low-redshift data are ameliorated by shifts in the parameters in high-redshift data. Results here and elsewhere suggest that the ΛCDM cosmological parameters are redshift dependent. Fitting parameters that evolve with redshift is a recognizable hallmark of model breakdown.

ABSTRACT
Despite the ever-growing number of exoplanets discovered and the extensive analyses carried out to find their potential satellites, only two exomoon candidates, Kepler-1625b-i and Kepler-1708 b-i, have been discovered to date. A considerable amount of effort has been invested in the development of algorithms for modelling, searching, and detecting exomoons in exoplanetary light curves. In this work, we incorporate moon handling capabilities into the state of the art and publicly available code, the Transit and Light Curve Modeller (tlcm). The code is designed for the analysis of transiting exoplanet systems with the inclusion of a wavelet-based noise handling algorithm. Here, we present an updated version of tlcm that is capable of modelling a coplanar planet–moon system on an elliptical orbit around its host, accounting for mutual eclipses between the two bodies (and neglecting perturbative effects) – a so-called photodynamic model. The key benefit of this framework is the ability for a joint analysis of multiple planet–moon transits. We demonstrate the necessity of this software on a case study of Kepler-1625b. Similarly to prior works, we conclude that there is no firm evidence of an exomoon in that system, by showing that temporally correlated noise can mimic apparent lunar transits.
Otospermophilus douglasii (Rodentia: Sciuridae)
Authors: Long Douglas J , Smith Jennifer E 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Otospermophilus douglasii (Richardson, 1829), the Douglas ground squirrel, was first described as a species and then relegated to a subspecies of the California ground squirrel, O. beecheyi (Richardson, 1829). However, genetic data recently were interpreted as indicative of returning O. douglasii back to valid species status. This semi-fossorial, social species is brown with small white spots, a dark dorsal patch, and silvery shoulders. Occupying diverse habitats and elevations, this native species is an important prey species and is most abundant in grasslands and open woodlands. It forages primarily on seeds and vegetation but is also in conflict with humans as a crop pest and disease vector that damages infrastructure through creating elaborate burrow systems. Currently, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has not provided a conservation assessment for O. douglasii.

AbstractStudy ObjectivesHealthy sleep is important for adolescent neurodevelopment, and relationships between brain structure and sleep can vary in strength over this maturational window. Although cortical gyrification is increasingly considered a useful index for understanding cognitive and emotional outcomes in adolescence, and sleep is also a strong predictor of such outcomes, we know relatively little about associations between cortical gyrification and sleep. We aimed to identify developmentally invariant (stable across age) or developmentally specific (observed only during discrete age intervals) gyrification-sleep relationships in young people.MethodsA total of 252 Neuroimaging and Pediatric Sleep Databank participants (9–26 years; 58.3% female) completed wrist actigraphy and a structural MRI scan. Local gyrification index (lGI) was estimated for 34 bilateral brain regions. Naturalistic sleep characteristics (duration, timing, continuity, and regularity) were estimated from wrist actigraphy. Regularized regression for feature selection was used to examine gyrification-sleep relationships.ResultsFor most brain regions, greater lGI was associated with longer sleep duration, earlier sleep timing, lower variability in sleep regularity, and shorter time awake after sleep onset. lGI in frontoparietal network regions showed associations with sleep patterns that were stable across age. However, in default mode network regions, lGI was only associated with sleep patterns from late childhood through early-to-mid adolescence, a period of vulnerability for mental health disorders.ConclusionsWe detected both developmentally invariant and developmentally specific ties between local gyrification and naturalistic sleep patterns. Default mode network regions may be particularly susceptible to interventions promoting more optimal sleep during childhood and adolescence.
A revised taxonomy and phylogeny of opalinids (Stramenopiles: Opalinata) inferred from the analysis of complete nuclear ribosomal DNA genes

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Opalinida comprise ciliated protists that live as intestinal endoparasites in poikilothermic vertebrates. They are classified as one group of colourless Stramenopiles, the Opalinata, along with Proteromonadida (Proteromonas and Karotomorpha). The validity of certain opalinid genera is questionable, and their genetic relationships remain unclear. In this study, we conducted complete ribosomal DNA gene sequencing of nine opalinid species (belonging to Opalina, Protoopalina, Zelleriella, and Cepedea) from China. We compared the primary sequences, secondary structures, and characteristics of short tandem repeats within the expansion segments of the sequences. Additionally, a TimeTree analysis was performed to estimate divergence times. Our findings suggest that opalinids diverged from proteromonads ~250–220 Mya, with Protoopalina being the ancient genus. There is no genetic evidence supporting the differentiation of Cepedea and Bezzenbergeria as distinct genera, and they have been synonymized: Opalina (= Cepedea) and Protoopalina (= Bezzenbergeria); new combinations of species names are listed. Opalinid rDNA sequences exhibit greater length compared with other groups owing to A-T insertions within the expansion segments. These insertions consist of short tandem repeats and appear to be associated with speciation events that led to genus differentiation.
Creating and Using Poetry to Teach Theoretical and Conceptual Nursing Content
Authors: Metersky Kateryna , Rahman Rezwana , Hoang Christy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In nursing academia, educators are faced with the longstanding challenge of bridging the theory-practice gap. In a second-year nursing theory course, students were introduced to poetry on a biweekly basis, written by their educator in response to student needs in understanding complex theoretical and conceptual nursing topics. Through anecdotal evidence from clinical instructors and students, the sharing of poetry and subsequent discussions helped students to develop and enhance their critical thinking and clinical judgment, reasoning, and decision-making skills. This transformative pedagogical approach offers an alternative teaching strategy that can provide the basis for meaningful discussion and bridge the theory-practice gap.

Published: November 2023

Study Design.
Retrospective cohort.

Objective.
To report normative measurements of L1 to S1 lumbar neuroforamina on plain film radiography (PFR), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), accounting for patients' sex and ethnicity.

Background.
The quantitative criteria fothe diagnosis of neuroforaminal stenosis remains unknown. Acquiring a thorough understanding of normative foraminal dimensions is a key step in formulating objective parameters for neuroforaminal stenosis.

Patients and Methods.
We measured 988 images from 494 patients between 18 and 35 years old without spinal pathology who received PFR, CT, or MRI within 1 year of each other. Neuroforaminal measurements were defined as the height, area, and sagittal and axial widths. Statistical analyses were performed to assess relationships among PFR, CT, and MRI-derived neuroforaminal measurements, as well as the influence of patients' sex and ethnicity.

Results.
330 PFR, 377 CT, and 281 MRI were measured. Of these, 213 PFR and CT, 117 PFR and MRI, and 164 MRI and CT intrapatient images were compared. Statistically significant differences were observed among PFR, CT, and MRI measurements across all levels L1 to S1. PFR measurements were larger compared with those derived from CT and MRI. Weak-to-moderate correlations were observed between PFR and CT, PFR and MRI, and CT and MRI, with the magnitude of correlation decreasing caudally from L1 to S1. Variations in neuroforaminal anatomy were observed based on sex and ethnicity.

Conclusion.
This study reports 25,951 measurements of normal L1 to S1 neuroforaminal anatomy assessed by PFR, CT, and MRI. The values reported in this study may be used as normative reference measurements of the lumbar neuroforamina. PFR measurements of the neuroforamina are larger compared with those derived from CT and MRI across all levels from L1 to S1. There is a poor correlation between PFR, CT, and MRI when measuring the lumbar neuroforamina. Differences in neuroforaminal anatomy are evident based on patients' sex and ethnicity.
Prior Fragility Fractures are Associated With a Higher Risk of Bone Health-Related Complications Within Eight Years Following Lumbar Fusion

Published: November 2023

Study Design.
Retrospective study.

Objective.
To determine the 8-year risk of revision lumbar fusion, pseudoarthrosis, mechanical failure, fragility fracture, and vertebral compression fracture in patients with a prior fragility fracture compared with those without.

Summary of Background Data.
Osteoporosis is a known modifiable risk factor for revision following lumbar fusion due to inadequate fixation. Patients with prior fragility fractures have been shown to have increased bone health-related complications following various orthopedic surgeries; however, there is a paucity of literature that identifies these complications in patients undergoing lumbar fusion.

Patients and Methods.
Patients aged 50 years and older who underwent elective lumbar fusion were identified in a large national database and stratified based on whether they sustained a fragility fracture within three years prior to fusion. These patients were propensity-score matched to a control based on age, gender, and Charlson the comorbidity index using a 1:1 ratio. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards analyses were used to observe the cumulative incidences and risk of complications within eight years of index surgery.

Results.
After matching, 8805 patients were included in both cohorts. Patients who sustained a prior fragility fracture had a higher risk of revision [hazard ratio (HR): 1.46; 95% CI: 1.26–1.69; P<0.001), pseudoarthrosis (HR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.17–1.48; P<0.001), mechanical failure (HR: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.78–2.45; P<0.001), secondary fragility fracture (HR: 6.36; 95% CI: 5.86–6.90; P<0.001), and vertebral compression fracture (HR: 7.47; 95% CI: 7.68–8.21; P<0.001) when compared with the control cohort.

Conclusion.
Patients who sustain a fragility fracture prior to lumbar fusion have an increased risk of revision, pseudoarthrosis, and mechanical failure within eight years. Surgeons should be aware of this high-risk patient population and consider bone health screening and treatment to reduce these preventable complications.
Vitamin A deficiency with nyctalopia after bilateral cataract surgery with multifocal intraocular lenses
Authors: Beaman Madeleine , Flynn Patrick , Moore Phoebe 
Published: November 2023

Introduction:
The purpose of this case study was to report an unusual case of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) with nyctalopia that was diagnosed after bilateral cataract surgery with multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs).

Patient and Clinical Findings:
After cataract surgery with multifocal IOLs, a 66-year-old man developed progressive intolerable night vision symptoms, requesting IOL exchange.

Diagnosis, Intervention, and Outcomes:
Only careful history and investigation revealed the cause to be VAD secondary to celiac disease, rather than lens-related. The patient was commenced on parenteral vitamin A resulting in a complete resolution of nyctalopia.

Conclusions:
To our knowledge, this is the only reported case of VAD diagnosed in this context. We reflect on the importance of thorough history taking, particularly in patients referred for cataract surgery by their optometrist, where the provided medical history may be incomplete.
OSATS scoring confirms ICG enhancement of performance in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy: A post hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Published: November 2023

Background:
Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging is effective in increasing the number of lymph node dissections during laparoscopic radical gastrectomy; however, no studies have attempted to explain this phenomenon.

Methods:
This study utilized the data from a previous randomized controlled trial (FUGES-012 study) investigating ICG-guided laparoscopic radical gastrectomy performed between November 2018 and July 2019. The Objective Structured Assessments of Technical Skills (OSATS) scoring system was used to grade videos from the ICG and non-ICG groups. Patients with an OSATS score >29 were classified as the high-OSATS population, while those with an OSATS score ≤29 were classified as the low-OSATS population.

Results:
A total of 258 patients were included in the modified intention-to-treat analysis: 129 in the ICG group and 129 in the non-ICG group. The OSATS score of the ICG group was higher than that of the non-ICG group (29.6 ± 2.6 vs. 26.6 ± 3.6; P<0.001). The ICG group underwent a significantly higher mean total number of lymph node dissections than the non-ICG group (50.5 ± 15.9 vs. 42.0 ± 10.3; adjusted P<0.001). The group assigned to ICG use, better OSATS (high-OSATS) scores were observed, which correlated with greater D2 lymph node retrieval (54.1±15.0 vs. 47.2±8.7; adjusted P=0.039). Finally, the ICG group had a lower rate of lymph node non-compliance than that of the non-ICG group (31.8% vs. 57.4%; P<0.001).

Conclusions:
By applying ICG fluorescence navigation technique, better OSATS scores were observed, which correlated with greater lymph node retrieval and lower lymph node non-compliance rate, as recommended for individualized laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.
