Resummation and renormalization of kinematical effects in inclusive P-wave quarkonium production
Authors: Chung Hee Sok 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
We investigate the renormalization properties of the shape function formalism for inclusive production of P-wave heavy quarkonia, which arises from resumming a class of corrections coming from kinematical effects associated with the motion of the heavy quark and antiquark pair relative to the quarkonium. Such kinematical effects are encoded in the nonperturbative shape functions, which are normalized to the corresponding nonrelativistic QCD long-distance matrix elements. By using the known ultraviolet divergences in the matrix elements, we derive the large-momentum asymptotic behavior of the shape functions. This strongly constrains the form of the shape functions and significantly reduces the dependence on the nonperturbative model. Based on these results we show that the shape function formalism at loop level can be useful in taming the threshold logarithms at large transverse momentum, and at small transverse momentum the kinematical corrections reduce the sizes of χc and χb cross sections which may improve agreement with measurements.

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund/Ziele
Vergleich der präklinischen Behandlungsmodalitäten und Interventionsschemata für schwer traumatisierte Patienten mit vergleichbaren Verletzungsmustern zwischen Österreich und Deutschland.

Patienten und Methoden
Diese Analyse basiert auf Daten aus dem TraumaRegister DGU®. Die Daten umfassten schwer verletzte Traumapatienten mit einem Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16, einem Alter ≥ 16 Jahre und primärer Aufnahme in ein österreichisches (n = 4186) oder deutsches (n = 41.484) Level I Trauma Center (TC) von 2008 bis 2017. Untersuchte Endpunkte umfassten präklinische Zeiten und durchgeführte Eingriffe bis zur endgültigen Krankenhauseinweisung.

Ergebnisse
Die kumulierte Zeit für den Transport vom Unfallort zum Krankenhaus unterschied sich nicht signifikant zwischen den Ländern (62 min in AUT, 65 min in GER). Insgesamt wurden 53 % aller Traumapatienten in AUT mit einem Hubschrauber ins Krankenhaus transportiert, verglichen mit 37 % in GER (p < 0,001). Die Intubationsrate – 48 % in beiden Ländern, die Anzahl platzierter Thoraxdrainagen (5,7 % GER, 4,9 % AUT) und die Häufigkeit der verabreichten Katecholamine (13,4 % GER, 12,3 % AUT) waren vergleichbar (Φ = 0,00). Die hämodynamische Instabilität (systolischer Blutdruck (BP) ≤ 90 mmHg) bei Ankunft im TC war in AUT höher (20,6 % vs. 14,7 % bei GER; p < 0,001). In AUT wurden im Median 500 ml Flüssigkeit verabreicht, während in GER 1000 ml infundiert wurden (p < 0,001). Die demografischen Daten der Patienten zeigten keinen Zusammenhang (Φ = 0,00) zwischen beiden Ländern, und die Mehrheit der Patienten erlitt ein stumpfes Trauma (96 %). ASA-Score von 3–4 betrug 16,8 % in Deutschland (GER) gegenüber 11,9 % in Österreich (AUT).

Fazit
In AUT wurden deutlich mehr Helikopter-EMS-Transporte (HEMS) durchgeführt. Die Autoren schlagen vor, eine internationale Richtlinie zu implementieren, um das HEMS-System explizit nur für Traumapatienten a) für die Rettung/Versorgung von verunfallten oder in lebensbedrohlichen Situationen befindlichen Personen, b) für den Transport von Notfallpatienten mit ISS > 16, c) für den Transport von Rettungs- oder Bergungspersonal in schwer zugängliche Regionen oder d) für den Transport von Arzneimitteln, insbesondere Blutprodukten, Organtransplantaten oder Medizinprodukten einzusetzen.

AbstractThe development of new sustainable material solutions in the processing of thermoplastic polymers concerns both the application of biopolymers and the use of valorized plant derivatives as fillers and modifiers of petrochemical polymers. Herein, the possibility of using unprocessed raw parts of two commonly used in the food industry leaves, i.e., lemon (LL) and stevia (ST), as active and functional fillers for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) has been verified. The series of composites containing 1, 2, and 5 wt% of ground leaves produced in the melt-mixing process were analyzed for thermal properties (DSC and TGA), and the antioxidant potential of the fillers was evaluated. Verifying the active effect of the ground leaves on the resistance to oxidation in the molten state was carried out by oxygen induction time (OIT by DSC) analysis and oscillatory rheology under steady-state shear conditions combined with spectroscopic (FTIR) carbonyl index (CI) analysis. Studies have shown that the introduction of 5 wt% of both types of leaves allows for a significant increase in the melt oxidation resistance (above 2 times longer OIT concerning HDPE, ~ 35 min) of composites without substantial changes in their crystalline structure and thermal stability. Determined after the long-term rheological measurements in an oxidative atmosphere CI showed 70 and 82% lower values for 5 wt% LL and ST composites compared to unmodified polyethylene.

Lack of genetic differentiation between two sympatric lacustrine morpho-species within the Astyanax (Characidae: Teleostei) genus, Mexico

Published: July 2023

AbstractWe analyzed two morpho-species, Astyanax aeneus and Astyanax caballeroi, coexisting in Lake Catemaco, with ecological differences previously associated with different trophic niches. While A. aeneus is a widely distributed species, A. caballeroi is endemic to Lake Catemaco. Due to the contrasting morphology between these two sympatric species, they were originally assigned to different genera, but little is known about their genetic differentiation. We hypothesized that these two species, which present differentiation in morphology and in trophic niches, co-occur in concomitance with assortative mating and form distinct genetic clusters. We tested this prediction by typing a set of 12 microsatellites in 348 individuals of the two morpho-species, comparing their genetic structure patterns with that of an allopatric population of A. aeneus (i.e., the Maquinas population). Genetic structure analysis, assignment analyses, and estimation of gene flow between the sympatric morpho-species were carried out. Contrary to expectations, there is a lack of genetic differentiation between the A. aeneus and A. caballeroi morpho-species. However, there was a genetic differentiation between Lake Catemaco and Río Maquinas populations of A. aeneus. In addition, we found an asymmetric gene flow pattern, with a larger migration rate from A. aeneus to A. caballeroi than in the other direction. Finally, the allopatric population of A. aeneus showed lower levels of genetic diversity than those reported for both morpho-species in the lacustrine system. Consequently, our results support the notion that these morpho-species are either in an early phase of speciation or represent a single polymorphic species. This model provides relevant information to understanding the presence of polymorphisms under gene flow and their potential impact on the speciation process.

AbstractIn this work, we performed a computational image-based study of blood dynamics in the whole left heart, both in a healthy subject and in a patient with mitral valve regurgitation. We elaborated multi-series cine-MRI with the aim of reconstructing the geometry and the corresponding motion of left ventricle, left atrium, mitral and aortic valves, and aortic root of the subjects. This allowed us to prescribe such motion to computational blood dynamics simulations where, for the first time, the whole left heart motion of the subject is considered, allowing us to obtain reliable subject-specific information. The final aim is to investigate and compare between the subjects the occurrence of turbulence and the risk of hemolysis and of thrombi formation. In particular, we modeled blood with the Navier–Stokes equations in the arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian framework, with a large eddy simulation model to describe the transition to turbulence and a resistive method to manage the valve dynamics, and we used a finite element discretization implemented in an in-house code for the numerical solution.

AbstractLand-use change remains the main threat to tropical forests and their dependent fauna and flora, and degradation of existing forest remnants will further accelerate species loss. Forest degradation may result directly from human forest use or through spatial effects of land-use change. Understanding the drivers of forest degradation and its effects on biodiversity is pivotal for formulating impactful forest management and monitoring protocols, but such knowledge is lacking for many biodiversity hotspots, such as the Taita Hills in southeast Kenya. Here we first quantify effects of social factors (human activity and presence) at plot and landscape level, forest management (gazetted vs. non-gazetted) and spatial factors (fragment size and distance to forest edge) on the vegetation structure of indigenous Taita forest fragments. Next, we quantify effects of degraded vegetation structure on arthropod abundance and diversity. We show that human presence and activity at both the plot and landscape level explain variation in vegetation structure. We particularly provide evidence that despite a national ban on cutting of indigenous trees, poaching of pole-sized trees for subsistence use may be simplifying vegetation structure, with the strongest effects in edge-dominated, small forest fragments. Furthermore, we found support for a positive effect of vegetation structure on arthropod abundance, although the effect of daily maximum temperature and yearly variation was more pronounced. Maintenance of multi-layered forest vegetation in addition to reforestation maybe a key to conservation of the endangered and endemic fauna of the Taita Hills.

Abstract
Purpose
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is present in more than half of HER2-positive invasive breast cancer (IBC). Recent studies show that DCIS accompanying HER2-positive IBC can be completely eradicated by neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST). Our aim was to determine the percentage of pathologic complete response of the DCIS component in a nationwide cohort and to assess associated clinicopathologic variables. Furthermore, the impact on surgical treatment after NST was investigated.

Methods
Women diagnosed with HER2-positive IBC, treated with NST and surgery, between 2010 and 2020, were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Pre-NST biopsy and postoperative pathology reports were obtained from the Dutch Nationwide Pathology Databank and assessed for the presence of DCIS. Clinicopathologic factors associated with DCIS response were assessed using logistic regression analyses.

Results
A DCIS component was present in the pre-NST biopsy in 1403 (25.1%) of 5598 included patients. Pathologic complete response of the DCIS component was achieved in 730 patients (52.0%). Complete response of DCIS occurred more frequently in case of complete response of IBC (63.4% versus 33.8%, p < 0.001). ER-negative IBC (OR 1.79; 95%CI 1.33–2.42) and more recent years of diagnosis (2014–2016 OR 1.60; 95%CI 1.17–2.19, 2017–2019 OR 1.76; 95%CI 1.34–2.34) were associated with DCIS response. Mastectomy rates were higher in IBC+DCIS compared to IBC (53.6% versus 41.0%, p < 0.001).

Conclusion
Pathologic complete response of DCIS occurred in 52.0% of HER2-positive IBC patients and was associated with ER-negative IBC and more recent years of diagnosis. Future studies should investigate imaging evaluation of DCIS response to improve surgical decision making.
Does International Environmental Certification Change Local Production and Trade Practices? A Case Study of Shrimp Farming in Southern Vietnam
Authors: Watanabe Hiroki , Ubukata Fumikazu 
Published: July 2023

AbstractStudies on international environmental certification (IEC) have primarily focused on how certification can sustainably “upgrade” local production and trading practices. However, not many studies view this market-based governance process from the perspective of local practices and location-specific factors. This study therefore examines how the upstream of the local supply chain influenced global interventions through the case of certification for shrimp farming in the mangroves of southern Vietnam. To clarify various aspects of these interactions, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the provincial government, NGOs, a trading company, shrimp farmers, and middlemen. The results revealed that IEC did not affect local production practices and only partially influenced trade practices. The implementation of IEC was thus at the mercy of the robustness of local society, which was attributed to unique agroecology, production systems, and upstream customary economic practices.
Billiard in a rotating half-plane
Authors: Kryzhevich Sergey , Plakhov Alexander 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe main objective of this research is to study the properties of a billiard system in an unbounded domain with moving boundary. We consider a system consisting of an infinite rod (a straight line) and a ball (a massless point) on the plane. The rod rotates uniformly around one of its points and experiences elastic collisions with the ball. We define a mathematical model for the dynamics of such a system and write down asymptotic formulae for its motions. In particular, we determine existence and uniqueness of solutions. We find all possible grazing impacts of the ball. Besides, we demonstrate that for almost every initial condition, the ball goes to infinity exponentially fast, with the time intervals between neighboring collisions tending to zero. The approach developed in this paper is an original combination of methods of Billiards and Vibro-Impact Dynamics. It could be a base for studying more complicated systems of similar types.
Culturally Diverse Societies and Genital Cutting Controversies
Authors: Townsend Kate Goldie 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe are all always culturally embedded. But some people in Western multicultural societies are treated as though they are more affected by cultural norms than others (Williams, in: Minorities within minorities, Cambridge University Press, 2005. https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511490224.002; Kukathus in Political Theory 20: 105–139, 1992. ; Shahvisi in International Journal of Impotence Research, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41443-021-00514-8; Galeotti in Constellations 14: 91–111, 2007. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8675.2007.00424.x, in European Journal of Political Theory 14: 277–296, 2015; Townsend in Philosophy & Social Criticism 46: 878–898, 2020. https://doi.org/10.1177/0191453719854212, in: The child’s right to genital integrity:Protecting the child, resisting harmful practices, and enabling sexual autonomy, 2021a. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/125329, in International Journalof Impotence Research, 2021b. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41443-021-00503-x). Members of marginalised cultural groups are treated as more ‘driven’ by culture than their dominant cultural group member counterparts (Honig, in: Is multiculturalism bad for women? Princeton University Press, 1999. https://doi.org/10.1515/9781400840991-005). I focus on the treatment of genital cutting and modification practices conducted by diverse groups in contemporary Western societies and argue that they should all be understood as culturally ‘influenced’ as reported by Chambers (Sex, culture, and justice: The limits of choice, Penn State University Press, 2008). Further, different legal and moral treatment of genital cutting and modification practices within Western liberal societies is a form of cultural discrimination that hinders productive intercultural dialogue and the integration of diverse groups. I argue that policy on genital cutting and modification should be the same across groups to reduce socio-cultural disadvantage and enable smoother integration in Western democracies.

Abstract
Purpose
This manuscript comprises a detailed life cycle assessment of an integrated xylitol biorefinery with value-added co-products. The biorefinery utilizes wheat straw as lignocellulosic feedstock and employs bio-based processes to produce xylitol as the main product and succinic acid as a co-product. The biorefinery was conceptually designed in an optimization-based framework and assessed through a techno-economic analysis published in the authors’ prior publications.

Methods
The goal is to determine the environmental impacts of the xylitol biorefinery and to compare the effects of bio-based production in the biorefinery to the current chemical production processes of xylitol. The scope is set as cradle-to-gate to allow a direct comparison of the chemical processes. The presented life cycle assessment was performed according to the standardized ISO procedure.

Results
The reference unit is related to the feedstock as multiple products are produced, and an economic allocation is chosen. The life cycle inventory is based on secondary data from process simulations stemming from earlier published work. The impact assessment is performed with the ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint H V1.05 method and the IMPACT2002 + method since the available data of the life cycle assessment for the chemical processes was obtained with the latter. The characterization of the impacts shows high impacts for the terrestrial, marine, and human carcinogenic toxicity impact categories and a comparatively low impact on global warming.

Conclusions
The results are interpreted and assessed with an additional sensitivity analysis. Furthermore, the results are compared with the two chemical production processes. The comparison shows lower impacts of the xylitol biorefinery compared to the standard chemical production process but slightly higher impacts compared to the proprietary production process of DuPont, which employs a high level of process integration. These results are further discussed and contextualized.

Abstract
Introduction
Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) is a promising emerging imaging technology for detecting bone and soft tissue pathology, especially in the onco-hematological field. This study aims to evaluate cancer patients' experience of WB-MRI performed on a 3T scanner compared to other diagnostic total body examinations.

Material and method
In this prospective committee-approved study, patients completed a questionnaire in person (n = 134) after undergoing a WB-MRI scan to collect data on their physical and psychological reactions during the scan, the global satisfaction level, and preference for other types of MRI or computed tomography (CT), or positron emission tomography (PET/CT). Of all patients who had performed a CT or PET/CT the previous year, 61.9% had already undergone an MRI. The most common symptoms reported were: 38.1% perceived a localized increase in temperature and 34.4% numbness and tingling of the limbs. The scan time averaged 45 min and was well tolerated by most patients (112, 85.5%). Overall, WB-MRI was appreciated by the majority (121/134—90.3%) of patients who said they would probably undergo the procedure again. Patients preferred the WB-MRI in 68.7% of cases (92/134), followed by CT in 15.7% of cases (21/134) and by PET/CT in 7.4% (10/134), with 8.4% (11/134) of patients without any preference. The preference for imaging modalities was age-dependent (p = 0.011), while (p > 0.05) was independent of sex and a primary cancer site.

Conclusion
These results demonstrate a high degree of WB-MRI acceptance from a patient's point of view.
Opening the human spirit to sustainability transformation: the potential for individual human–nature resonance and integrative rituals
Authors: Müller Susanne , Artmann Martina , Surrey Caroline 
Published: July 2023

AbstractUrgent calls by the younger generation and the scientific community to approach sustainability only seem to scratch the surface of individuals’ awareness while ecological destruction moves forward. In this regard, current dominant mindsets claiming a human–nature separation appear to hamper change by not granting nature dignity and her own voice. Therefore, the scientific community is inviting us to embrace Indigenous ontologies and an overall spiritual connectedness with nature in our lives. Yet, in times of crisis, it is unclear how individuals can overcome prevailing mind-action gaps—and instead turn towards sustainable caring human–nature relationships. Against this background, this conceptual paper elaborates, in a first step, individual human–nature resonance as a relational integrative framework to study psychological transformation processes and their supporting capabilities. In a second step, a ritual-based intervention is elaborated to nurture the quality of this relationship between human and nonhuman nature which is experientially enriched with insights from psychotherapy. Transdisciplinary research in the form of self-experience completes the research process. Eventually, we plead for openness in favor of adopting “lived wholeness” as a solution for sustainability transformations—of ourselves, science, and our relationship with nonhuman nature.
