Authors: Li Hui , Yang Hao , Zhang Suli , Miao Jiahao 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this research, a fuzzy adaptive PD control approach is introduced for managing the coupled indoor temperature and humidity system. Initially, the mathematical framework of indoor temperature and humidity is analyzed. For the coupled system, a decoupling control strategy is introduced, which eliminates the mutual influence between temperature and humidity by incorporating decoupling components, thereby enabling the system to be equivalently controlled as two independent single-input single-output systems. Secondly, a fuzzy adaptive PD control method is employed to achieve parameter self-tuning. Finally, to assess the efficacy of the introduced control approach, the present study undertakes a simulation analysis, utilizing a medium-sized office as a case study. The outcomes of the simulation suggest that upon implementing the fuzzy adaptive PD control methodology, the modulation of indoor temperature and humidity achieves enhanced precision and swiftness, notably demonstrating greater robustness in the presence of disturbance signals.
Slum Settlements of Sukamentri Village, Garut: Observation and Recommendations
Authors: Hantari Anjas Ninda , Sambas Keisha Aulia 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Slum settlements are often seen as areas that are synonymous with dense, poor, unfit, unhealthy populations and other negative stigmas. Handling slum areas is not only carried out in metropolitan areas, but also needs to be carried out in the smallest parts of cities or village areas. Sukamentri Village in Garut Regency is a village indicated as a slum settlement. Residential conditions with dense populations and undirected and planned development support a decline in the quality of the residential environment. Many residents of Sukamentri Village are also infected with tuberculosis (TB). There are various development and public health problems in settlements, so the research question is what are the methods for dealing with slum settlements and how will the health quality and facilities and infrastructure of Sukamentri Village settlements be handled? This research uses a deductive research method, namely using parameters and variables from several theories to look at settlement elements, health quality, facilities and infrastructure in Sukamentri Village. At the analysis stage, this research uses qualitative methods which require more direct involvement in the field. The formation of the Sukamentri Village slum settlement in the RW 05 area was due to the suboptimal quality of residential facilities and infrastructure. There is a need to improve the health quality of residential facilities, including building healthy houses and providing green open space in residential environments. Improving the quality of health infrastructure includes construction of road pavement, construction of drainage, and construction of waste disposal in residential areas.
Toward the Estates General
Authors: Fitzsimmons Michael P 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The recommendation of the parlement of Paris that the Estates General follow the forms of 1614 ignited a passionate debate and expanded the issue of privilege beyond its fiscal dimension to encompass a political component as well. Necker had authorized a doubling of the number of representatives for the Third Estate but did not stipulate procedures for deliberation and voting, which resulted in uncertainty and intensified the debate. As electoral assemblies gathered to elect deputies and draw up cahiers, many noble assemblies renounced their fiscal privileges but linked the renunciation to deliberation and vote by order at the Estates General. The cahiers expressed the desire for a constitution, but the sense of it was inchoate. The primary demand was a redefinition of government that would include regular meetings of the Estates General in the future.
The Expansion of the Constitution
Authors: Fitzsimmons Michael P 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The Assembly elected a Committee on the Constitution to draft constitutional articles and present them to the Assembly and it offered its first report on July 27. The committee declared that its work would be guided by the cahiers and it grounded its report in prescriptive tradition. Just over a week later, however, the repudiation of privilege by the Assembly in its meeting of the night of August 4 enlarged the scope of the constitutional project from a task of weeks or months to years. The Assembly had to overcome dissembling by the king and misgivings from some areas, which intensified after the transfer of the royal family from Versailles to Paris, to enact its new ideals. The autumn of 1789 was a time of uncertainty for the Assembly, but it never resorted to coercion to advance its goals.
Introduction
Authors: Lemke Douglas 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In this introductory chapter, I lay out the themes of the book. I explain why state death matters. I describe how state death has been studied in the past. I indicate why we need to consider both sovereign states and territorial contenders and why we need to include all forms of state death in order to advance understanding of this important topic. The broader focus is necessary because many theoretical arguments about state death cannot be fairly tested unless we consider more actors and more behaviors. In this chapter, I also carefully consider trade-offs between past research and the many research design changes proposed. Throughout the chapter, I offer many real-world examples of state deaths to demonstrate the range of actors and event types relevant to the fundamental question of how states die.
The Politics of World Heritage
Authors: Kalaycioglu Elif 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In The Politics of World Heritage, Elif Kalaycioglu analyzes UNESCO’s flagship regime, which seeks to curate a cultural history of humanity, attached to “universal value,” and tethered to goals of peace and solidarity. Kalaycioglu’s analysis tracks that construction across fifty years of the regime and under three distinct visions: humanity as a rarefied transhistorical and transgeographic subject, humanity as a diverse subject, and humanity as a subject that is adequately represented by the community of nation states. Each of these constructions relies on epistemic and discursive resources that substantiate and bring into being this cultural-historical humanity. By scrutinizing how these resources are marshaled to the construction of humanity by experts and states, Kalaycioglu’s analysis reveals the desirous entanglements in humanity, and its coproduction as a subject that organizes a hierarchical social, in this case cultural and historical, order. If so, then what about the aspiration to humanity’s peace and solidarity? The book takes up these possibilities as they emerge in relation to various constructions of humanity. It locates in nested narratives of humanity, constructed from its margins and underlining both the interconnectedness and the unevenness of its global politics, visions of peace and solidarity that open up to more robust future possibilities.
Introduction
Authors: Gutner Tamar 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The AIIB is an important development in global governance, as China’s first foray into leading an international organization with global membership. It is a paradox: a liberal institution, unambiguously connected to rules and norms of the liberal international order, created by an illiberal regime. The book offers a comprehensive explanation of the factors behind why the bank was created and how it was designed by a group of state and multilateral development bank (MDB) experts to be deeply nested within the norms, rules, and networks of MDBs. The arguments advance theories of institutional design and institutional diffusion and emphasize the importance of a more nuanced understanding of China’s various strategies in global economic governance.

Abstract
This introduction to the ninth volume of Oxford Studies in Agency and Responsibility briefly discusses each of the new essays being published. They were drawn from the seventh biennial New Orleans Workshop in Agency and Responsibility (NOWAR), held in November 2023. The essays cover a wide range of topics relevant to the workshop’s theme, including the nature of agential value, heroes and humility in the face of admiration (and how to laugh it off), culpability for ignorance, guilt without blameworthiness, weakness of will, Buddhism and anger, gratitude and how to return a kindness, sincere (and not so sincere) apology, mens rea, and agential commitment
Living Without Anger
Authors: Chadha Monima , Nichols Shaun 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
A central form of anger is (1) elicited by the perception of being insulted by another person and (2) motivates retaliatory reactions toward the other person. This kind of anger plausibly has benefits, including protection against mistreatment. However, such anger seems to presuppose that there is a self that is the target of the anger. Hence, Buddhist no-self theorists forswear anger. But what about the benefits of anger? We argue that the Buddhist tradition encourages alternative emotional responses in the face of insult. Further, the monastic community abides by a system of vows that is well designed to discourage anger-inducing actions.
Fitting Guilt Without Blameworthiness
Authors: Velichkov Alexander 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The standard account of guilt states that it is fitting (and/or deserved) for an agent to feel the emotion of guilt only if she is blameworthy. This chapter proposes and defends the Moral Debt Account of guilt, according to which guilt is fitting when an agent has a moral debt in virtue of a disrupted moral relationship. This allows for guilt to be fitting when the agent is morally innocent, for example, when she is in a state of epistemic uncertainty, possesses inequitable benefits, or all-things-considered justifiably harms or wrongs another. Furthermore, the Moral Debt Account has the resources to accommodate the intuition that agents do not deserve to suffer the pain of guilt when they are not blameworthy.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objectives
Uncomplicated spine metastases are routinely treated with conventional external beam radiotherapy (cEBRT). In cEBRT, there is no delineation of target volumes or organs at risk (OAR), or attempt to optimise dose distribution to deliver conformal, homogeneous dose distributions with sparing of OAR. Atlas-based auto-segmentation (ABAS) for target volume and OAR delineation, followed by knowledge-based planning (KBP) could facilitate conformal planning of spine metastases.

Methods
ABAS using SmartSegmentation for delineation of thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and OAR in their vicinity, provided target volumes and OAR for conformal treatment planning. 30 volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment plans were produced using RapidPlan KBP. Plans produced using this automated approach were compared to the equivalent cEBRT treatment plans.

Results
Target volume coverage for RapidPlan VMAT generated plans was superior to cEBRT. PTV Dmean = 7.86 ± 0.16 Gy, Dmin = 3.46 ± 1.79 Gy, Dmax = 8.56 ± 0.05 Gy for RapidPlan VMAT compared to Dmean = 7.78 ± 0.24 Gy, Dmin = 1.83 ± 1.08 Gy, Dmax = 10.46 ± 0.41 Gy for cEBRT. With homogeneity index and conformity index 0.236 ± 0.215 and 1.201 ± 0.121 respectively for RapidPlan VMAT compared to 0.508 ± 0.137 and 1.789 ± 0.437 for cEBRT. Dose to dose-limiting OAR spinal cord and cauda equina was reduced for RapidPlan VMAT, with Dmax of 7.91 ± 0.16 Gy and 7.94 ± 0.13 Gy respectively compared to 8.67 ± 0.13 Gy and 8.90 ± 0.16 Gy for cEBRT. KBP was superior to cEBRT in terms of target coverage, homogeneity and conformity and was achievable in a clinically acceptable time, with improved sparing of the spinal cord and cauda equina.

Conclusions
Implementation of automated treatment planning for uncomplicated spine metastases is feasible in the clinical environment with superior plan quality compared to cEBRT.

Advances in knowledge
Automated contouring and treatment planning are feasible in the clinical environment using this approach and would allow patients conformal as opposed to conventional external beam radiotherapy for treatment of spine metastases.

Abstract
The patient, a 73-year-old woman with multiple medical history, consulted the emergency department (ED) of a second-level hospital due to severe left rib pain radiating to the abdomen. Initially, it was diagnosed as postherpetic neuralgia. However, during the examination in the ED, absence of breath sounds were found in the left lung base and severe pain in the left hemithorax, leading to a chest X-ray which revealed a massive left pleural effusion. A thoracentesis was performed which confirmed the presence of empyema. The patient was admitted, treatment was started with empirical Ceftriaxone and a pleural drain was placed. Urokinase was administered for 5 days and the drain was removed. She presented a torpid evolution with persistent fever and elevation of acute phase reactants despite treatment. During admission, the patient developed inflammation of the left lower chest wall, which was diagnosed as cellulitis. Antibiotic coverage was extended to Linezolid and Imipenem. However, the patient worsened clinically, presenting hypotension and tachycardia, leading to suspicion of necrotizing fasciitis. An urgent thoracic CT scan revealed a bilateral acute pneumonic infectious process with pulmonary necrosis and signs of pleural-extraspleural fistula, which was classified as necrotizing pneumonia complicated by empyema necessitatis. Clindamycin was added to the treatment. The patient was referred to a tertiary hospital in order to be evaluated by thoracic surgeons for urgent surgical debridement. Significant fibrous pleuropulmonary adhesions were found requiring costal resection. Malodorous fluid was aspirated and pleural and thoracic drains were placed. During surgery, the patient presented poor hemodynamic and ventilatory tolerance, requiring bipulmonary ventilation and the impossibility of extubation after surgery, therefore she was admitted to the ICU. Due to a poor hemodynamic evolution, the patient required a second septic control surgery one week later. A left thoracotomy was performed and multiple fibrous pleuropulmonary adhesions were again observed. Abundant purulent material was evacuated and cultures were positive for Parvimona and mixed aero-anaerobic flora. The patient required vasoactive support during the first 72 hours, but this was subsequently withdrawn without incident. A follow-up CT scan 5 days after the second surgery showed worsening of the necrotizing pneumonia. A third urgent surgery was performed in which pleuropulmonary fibropurulent tissue was observed and removed, abundant lavage was performed and drains were placed in muscular and costal planes. Negative pressure therapy (VAC system) was performed. After a prolonged admission to the ICU presented favorable evolution and she was discharged to the ward.

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of deep learning method for denoising and artifact reduction (AR) in zero-TE (ZTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Also, Clinical applicability was evaluated by comparing image diagnosis to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods
For thirty patients CBCT and routine ZTE-MRI data was collected, and an additional reduced scan time-ZTE-MRI was also obtained. Scan time-reduced image sets were processed into denoised and AR image based on deep learning technique. The image quality of routine sequence, de-noised and AR image sets were compared in quantitative evaluation using signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and in qualitative using 3-point grading system (0, poor; 1, good; 2, excellent). The presence of osteoarthritis was assessed in each imaging protocol. Diagnostic accuracy of each protocol was compared against the CBCT results, which served as the reference standard. The SNR and the qualitative scores was compared using analysis of variance test and Kruskal-Wallis test, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy was assessed using the Cohen κ (&lt;0.5 = poor; 0.5 to &lt; 0.75 = moderate; 0.75 to &lt; 0.9 = good; ≥0.9 = excellent).

Results
Both denoised and AR protocol resulted the significantly enhanced SNR compared to routine protocol and AR protocol showed higher SNR than denoised one. The qualitative assessment also showed highest grade in AR protocol with statistical significance. The osteoarthritis diagnosis showed enhanced agreement with CBCT in denoised (κ=0.928) and AR images (κ=0.929) than routine images (κ=0.707).

Conclusions
A newly developed deep learning technique for both denoising and artifact reduction in ZTE-MRI presented clinical usefulness. Specifically, AR protocol showed significantly improved image quality and comparable diagnostic accuracy as CBCT. It can be expected that this novel technique would help overcome the current limitation of ZTE-MRI for replacing CBCT in bone imaging of TMJ.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
As a group of winged insects (Pterygota) retaining many primitive characteristics, genomic research on mayflies remains highly limited, posing challenges to the study of their origin and evolution. In this study, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly of the Chinese endemic mayfly Parafronurus youi utilizing Illumina short-read, PacBio long-read, and Hi-C sequencing technologies. The high-quality genome is 412.90 Mb in size with 99.07% of the sequences anchored to 11 chromosomes (ranging from 24.88 to 45.89 Mb). Genome annotation predicted 15,647 protein-coding genes with an average length of 9,934.7 bp, of which 85.9% were functionally annotated in the UniProtKB database. Repetitive elements accounted for 32.83% of the genome, including 27.33% transposable elements and 4.07% simple repeats. This study not only enriches genomic resources for mayflies but also establishes a foundation for investigating molecular mechanisms underlying ecological adaptation and evolutionary traits, contributing to the conservation of freshwater ecosystems.
Lung toxicity related to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole: pharmacovigilance data review
Authors: Givry F , Lebargy F , Lebrun D , Bonnet M , Ruellan A L , Hentzien M , Azzouz B , Bani-Sadr F 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Well-established side effects of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole include cutaneous and liver toxicity, hypersensitivity syndrome and blood dyscrasias. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole has also been associated with severe lung toxicity (LT) but reports are scarce.

Methods
We investigated pharmacovigilance data and reviewed spontaneous reports of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-related LT recorded in the French national pharmacovigilance database (FPVD) and the WHO global database of adverse events (VigiBase®) up to 31 December 2023. We performed disproportionality analysis to detect a possible pharmacovigilance signal.

Results
A total of 755 patients with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-related LT were reported in VigiBase®, 17 of which were from the FPVD. In VigiBase®, interstitial lung disease was the most frequent LT pattern (30.5%). A fatal outcome was reported in 197 patients (26.1%). Significant reporting ORs were observed for the following trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-related LT patterns: interstitial lung disease 1.5 (95% CI: 1.3–1.7); acute respiratory distress syndrome 2.9 (95% CI: 2.5–3.5); eosinophilic pneumonia 4.1 (95% CI: 3.2–5.2); diffuse alveolar damage 3.7 (95% CI: 2.6–5.3); organizing pneumonia 2.1 (95% CI: 1.4–3.1); pulmonary toxicity 1.9 (95% CI: 1.3–2.9); acute lung injury 7.5 (95% CI: 4.9–11.6) and hypersensitivity pneumonitis 2.7 (95% CI: 1.7–4.2).

Conclusions
We highlight statistically significant disproportionality for several trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-related LT patterns, which constitutes a pharmacovigilance signal. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-related LT is rare, but may be critical and even life-threatening. Physicians should be aware of potential trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole-related LT and should inform their patients, since early intervention could prevent severe outcome.

Abstract
Residual feed intake (RFI) is a widely employed metric to estimate feed efficiency, which compares actual feed intake to expected feed intake. Enhancing feed efficiency while maintaining reproductive performance is critical to maximizing the profitability of beef production systems. Published data exhibit conflicting results concerning the impact of RFI on reproductive parameters. Our objective was to evaluate the relationship between RFI and reproductive parameters in young Brangus bulls. Sixty bulls were randomly selected at the beginning of a 56-day feed efficiency test. At the start, scrotal circumference (SC) was measured, blood samples were taken for testosterone concentration analysis, and semen samples were collected by electroejaculation. Fresh semen was visually evaluated for motility, morphology, and plasma membrane integrity. Sperm kinematics and concentration were objectively determined via computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA-IVOS II System). At the end of the test, bulls were classified as feed efficient (low RFI: LRFI) or feed inefficient (high RFI: HRFI) and grouped based on RFI divergence. Two models were constructed to analyze data: one using all bulls (Halves, n = 58) and one using the 25% extremes of the population (Tails, n = 30). Data were compared using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Using the halves model, only major defects (P &lt; 0.04) and total defects (P = 0.014) were significantly affected by RFI group, with LRFI bulls showing a lower proportion of abnormal sperm cells. In the tails model, only SC (P = 0.01) was significantly affected by RFI, with LRFI bulls having a larger SC compared to HRFI bulls. The RFI group did not affect CASA-derived traits in either model. In conclusion, most fertility-related measurements were not affected by RFI status in young Brangus bulls. These results suggest that selection for feed efficiency in young bulls can be achieved without negatively impacting seminal characteristics associated with fertility.
