BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Corpus callosotomy (CC) is an epilepsy surgery that disconnects the commissural fibers at the corpus callosum, a structure that often plays a key role in propagating seizure activity. CC is particularly beneficial in patients with drop attacks. Less invasive endoscopic surgeries have recently been introduced to some fields of neurosurgery but have not yet become common in epilepsy surgery. Endoscopic surgeries offer better visualization and require a smaller corridor than conventional microscopic surgeries. Here, we presented a case series comparing endoscopic CC with microscopic CC.

METHODS:
This 2-center retrospective study involved patients who underwent all types of CC (anterior, total, or posterior CC [pCC]) between January 2014 and May 2022. We excluded patients who underwent additional craniotomy for electrocorticography rather than CC, prior craniotomy, or CC without craniotomy. The primary outcomes were comparing size of craniotomy, operative time, and surgical complications between endoscopic CC and microscopic CC.

RESULTS:
We included 14 CCs in 11 patients in the endoscopic group and 58 CCs in 55 patients in the microscopic group. No significant difference in age was seen between groups. Craniotomies were significantly smaller in the endoscopic group for anterior (13.36 ± 1.31 cm2 vs 27.55 ± 3.78 cm2; P = .001), total (14.07 ± 2.54 cm2 vs 26.63 ± 6.97 cm2; P = .001), and pCC (9.44 ± 1.18 cm2 vs 30.23 ± 10.76 cm2; P = .002). Moreover, no significant differences in operative time (anterior CC [261 ± 53.11 min vs 298.73 ± 81.08 min, P = .226], total CC [339.5 ± 48.2 min vs 321.39 ± 65.98 min, P = .452], pCC [198 ± 24.73 min vs 242.5 ± 59.12 min, P = .240]), or complication rate were seen.

CONCLUSION:
Endoscopic CC is a promising technique requiring a smaller craniotomy than microscopic CC, without significantly increasing operative time or complication rate compared with microscopic CC.

ABSTRACT
Germ line integrity is crucial for progeny fitness. Organisms deploy the DNA damage response (DDR) signaling to protect the germ line from genotoxic stress, facilitating the cell-cycle arrest of germ cells and DNA repair or their apoptosis. Cell-autonomous regulation of germ line quality in response to DNA damage is well studied; however, how quality is enforced cell non-autonomously on sensing somatic DNA damage is less known. Using Caenorhabditis elegans, we show that DDR disruption, only in the uterus, when insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) is low, arrests oogenesis in the pachytene stage of meiosis I, in a FOXO/DAF-16 transcription factor-dependent manner. Without FOXO/DAF-16, germ cells of the IIS mutant escape the arrest to produce poor-quality oocytes, showing that the transcription factor imposes strict quality control during low IIS. Activated FOXO/DAF-16 senses DDR perturbations during low IIS to lower ERK/MPK-1 signaling below a threshold to promote germ line arrest. Altogether, we elucidate a new surveillance role for activated FOXO/DAF-16 that ensures optimal germ cell quality and progeny fitness in response to somatic DNA damage.
The When and How of Delegated Search

Contract Design for Outsourcing Search Firms commonly outsource search for new employees, real estate, or technology to external agents. What should the contracts with these agents look like, and under which conditions should companies even hire agents (as opposed to doing the search in house)? These are the questions studied in “The when and how of delegated search” by Zorc et al. The authors find that the optimal contracts pay the agent a per-time fee as well as a bonus for finding an acceptable alternative. The size of this bonus is defined on signing of the contract and decreases over time. The decision of whether to outsource at all hinges on the firm’s trade-off between speed and quality; in-house search becomes optimal for a firm that prioritizes quality, but outsourcing offers better speed.

Optical frequency combs (OFCs) have great potential in communications, especially in dense wavelength-division multiplexing. However, the size of traditional OFCs based on conventional optical microcavities or dispersion fibers is at least tens of micrometers, far larger than that of nanoscale electronic chips. Therefore, reducing the size of OFCs to match electronic chips is of necessity. Here, for the first time to our knowledge, we introduce surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) to the construction of OFCs to realize a miniature device. The thickness of our device is reduced below 1 μm. Though the presence of SPPs may induce ohmic and scattering loss, the threshold of the device is obtained as 9 μW, comparable to the conventional device. Interestingly, the response time is 13.2 ps, much faster than the optical counterparts. This work provides a feasible strategy for the miniaturization of OFCs.
Perspectives of VA healthcare from rural women veterans not enrolled in or using VA healthcare
Authors: Rohs Carly M. , Albright Karen R. , Monteith Lindsey L. , Lane Amber D. , Fehling Kelty B. 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
Women Veterans have unique healthcare needs and often experience comorbid health conditions. Despite this, many women Veterans are not enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and do not use VHA services. Underutilization of VHA services may be particularly prevalent among rural women Veterans, who may experience unique barriers to using VHA care. Nonetheless, knowledge of rural women Veterans and their experiences remains limited. We sought to understand rural women Veterans’ perceptions and needs related to VHA healthcare, including barriers to enrolling in and using VHA services, and perspectives on how to communicate with rural women Veterans about VHA services.

Methods
Rural women Veterans were recruited through community engagement with established partners and a mass mailing to rural women Veterans not enrolled in or using VHA healthcare. Ten virtual focus groups were conducted with a total of twenty-nine rural women Veterans (27 not enrolled in VHA care and 2 who had not used VHA care in the past 5 years) in 2021. A thematic inductive analytic approach was used to analyze focus group transcripts.

Findings
Primary themes regarding rural women Veterans’ perceptions of barriers to enrollment and use of VHA healthcare included: (1) poor communication about eligibility and the process of enrollment; (2) belief that VHA does not offer sufficient women’s healthcare services; and (3) inconvenience of accessing VHA facilities.

Conclusion
Although VHA has substantially expanded healthcare services for women Veterans, awareness of such services and the nuances of eligibility and enrollment remains an impediment to enrolling in and using VHA healthcare among rural women Veterans. Recommended strategies include targeted communication with rural women Veterans not enrolled in VHA care to increase their awareness of the enrollment process, eligibility, and expansion of women’s healthcare services. Creative strategies to address access and transportation barriers in rural locations are also needed.
Reflections on the past and future

Abstract
As I finish writing this column, the Covid-19 global health emergency has just been officially declared as over. The impact that it has had on us all, directly and indirectly, cannot be underestimated. There are many that would like our way of life to go back to how it was to before, remembering the good aspects but forgetting the others. We were already in a crisis situation with almost terrifying global warming scenarios, particularly with respect to carbon dioxide emissions. The “lockdown” in 2020 during which industry shut down showed the effects of pollution, or rather the lack of them. Then industry started once more and the carbon footprint began to rise again. Now, in 2023, much of this appears to have been forgotten owing to economic issues and inflation, partly linked to materials and energy, but the clock continues to tick. There are lessons and decisions for the future, many of which will not be easy. Here are some reflections on IUPAC in the recent past and looking forwards.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Displacement monitoring method of reservoir dam is a key research topic at present. In order to better display the overall efficiency of horizontal displacement and vertical displacement monitoring, a numerical simulation analysis method of ecological monitoring of small reservoir dam based on the maximum entropy algorithm is proposed. The virtual value is calculated by the maximum entropy algorithm, and the probability distribution function of random variables is obtained. The comprehensive prediction model of ecological monitoring results is constructed by the probability distribution function, and the daily monitoring values of ecological history of small reservoir dams are obtained. The maximum entropy probability density function is used to calculate the initial moment of small reservoir displacement samples, calculate the abnormal probability of the dam, get the maximum entropy probability density, realize the unbiased distribution of simulation values, and complete the dam deformation monitoring of small reservoirs. The simulation experiment is verified by numerical simulation. The results show that this method can effectively monitor the horizontal and vertical displacement of the dam; monitor the water-level hydrograph of pressure pipes at each measuring point; and obtain the changes of ecological runoff, temperature difference, and sediment discharge around the dam of small reservoirs in real time, which provides data guarantee for improving the ecological added value of small reservoirs.

Abstract
Fresh noodles are easily to deterioration and contamination by microorganisms, improving its quality retention remains challenging. This study shows the potential of Ultraviolet C light-emitting diodes (UVC-LEDs, 275 nm) for the inactivation of Bacillus subtilis or Staphylococcus aureus inoculated on Tartary buckwheat fresh Tartary buckwheat noodles (FTBN) and as well as the inactivation of natural microbiota and quality of FTBN treated with UVC-LEDs during storage at 25 °C. The results showed that within a certain irradiation range of UVC-LEDs (0–1200 mJ/cm2), B. subtilis and S. aureus inoculated with FTBN would have deactivation and the dosage-dependent manner (P < 0.05). The initial total plate count of FTBN treated with UVC-LEDs was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) and shelf life was extended to 3 days. Changes of the pH, color, water distribution, cooking characterisitcs, and texture properties of FTBN treated with UVC-LEDs were delayed during storage. Based on these advantages, UVC-LEDs has good sterilization performance and improves the shelf life of noodles.

The relative effects of corrective feedback and language proficiency on the development of L2 pragmalinguistic competence: the case of request downgraders
Authors: Chen Yuan-shan , Hsu Hui-Tzu , Tai Hsuan-Yu 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In recent years, corrective feedback has attracted L2 pragmatics researchers’ attention. This study examined the effects of direct and metapragmatic corrective feedback on the learning of request downgraders for Chinese learners of English. Eighty college students were divided into four groups: (1) high proficiency + direct feedback, (2) high proficiency + metapragmatic feedback, (3) low proficiency + direct feedback, and (4) low proficiency + metapragmatic feedback. Using a pre-test–instruction–post-test–delayed post-test design, the results revealed that all the groups made significant progress with a prolonged effect after four weeks, and that metapragmatic feedback yielded a greater effect than direct feedback for the low proficiency learners. Moreover, the learners in general held positive perceptions towards the feedback they received. This study closes by providing pedagogical implications for language teachers and suggesting future directions for researchers.
Lability and the rigidification of word order: evidence from Early Middle English
Authors: García García Luisa 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article analyzes quantitatively the effect of five linguistic features on the position of the object in Early Middle English. Four of them have long been explored in the literature: object type, object length, clause type and type of verbal cluster (±auxiliary). The fifth feature, lability, has so far been given less attention. Lability is the possibility that a given verb alternates between an unaccusative and transitive frame without morphological coding. This makes lability an instance of morphological syncretism. This study tests the hypothesis that, for disambiguation purposes, labile transitive verbs show a more consistent word order (VO in this case) than non-labile transitives. If confirmed, the hypothesis would point to a non-trivial connection between the increase of labile verbs and the move towards a fixed word order in Early Middle English. Such a connection has gone unnoticed in the existing literature, which, as far as the influence of morphological syncretism on word order is concerned, has focused almost exclusively on the effect of the loss of case marking. A total of 961 transitive clauses with labile and non-labile verbs were tagged for the above-mentioned five variables. Their effect on the choice between VO and OV is measured using statistical analysis. The conclusion is that verb lability is a significant predictor of VO in the period under scrutiny, with labile verbs thus spearheading the shift towards a stable word order pattern (VO) in English. The correlation between verb lability and word order rigidification demonstrated for Early Middle English in this article may be relevant for studies on word order from multiple perspectives: language-specific, typological, synchronic and diachronic.
“The Hum of the Conversing Audience”: Ordinary Criticism and Film Culture in American Early Film Theory
Authors: Statius Marthe 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis article seeks to explore the early stages of American film theory, wherecinephiliabecame a site of aesthetic interest and criticism thanks to the theorization of cinema as a conversational medium. Following Stanley Cavell’s analysis of a distinct form of moviegoing in America, based on the casual conversation about movies, I argue that a reinterpretation of Emerson’s ordinary aesthetics has been at the core of early film theory, especially in Vachel Lindsay’s writings. In order to illustrate the relation between the defence of a new medium and the attempt to define a quintessentially American art form, this article focuses on the concept of “conversation” that Lindsay uses to describe film spectatorship and to provide a new critical apparatus to grasp the specificity of film aesthetics.
Experiencing Revulsion: Aesthetic Discomfort and Ordinary Life
Authors: Andreescu Radu-Cristian 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Drawing on recent theories and debates concerning the everydayness of non-artistic and even private aesthetic experiences, this article aims at differentiating new ways of dealing with revulsion at the intersection of negative and everyday aesthetics, as another manner of extending or transcending the scope of traditional art-oriented aesthetics. The paradigms that I will trace in the history of negative aesthetics are not mere occurrences of disgust or repulsiveness in art and in everyday life, but ways of addressing the repulsive in relation to the culturally variable scope of art and aesthetics. Besides the classical paradigm that associates repugnant subjects with their pleasure-inducing imitations in art, and the transgressions of modern and contemporary art that increasingly shocked their audience, revulsion can also be regarded as a form of displeasure linked to the quotidian, yet aesthetically relevant forms of life. By virtue of this ordinary nature, which is not unfamiliar to other (non-Western) cultures, revulsion could be placed at the core of everyday aesthetics, since it confirms both the transition from contemplation to action in recent aesthetics, that is, the practical preoccupation with the aesthetic quality of living, and the broader redefinition of aesthetics in terms of sensory reactions.

Abstract
Schwingungstilger sind eine bewährte Methode zur Reduzierung von Ratterschwingungen bei der Drehbearbeitung mit lang auskragenden Bohrstangen. Die Anfälligkeit für diese Schwingungen steigt mit zunehmender Länge und mit abnehmendem Werkzeugdurchmesser an. Dieser Beitrag stellt einen neuartigen Schwingungstilger für Bohrstangen mit Durchmessern ab 10 mm vor. Die Auslegung des Schwingungstilgers basiert auf einer numerischen Modellierung. Zerspanungsversuche zeigen die deutlich verbesserte Prozessstabilität.

Abstract
Vibrationsanfällige Werkzeuge, wie z. B. lange und dünne Bohrstangen, weisen aufgrund einer erhöhten dynamischen Beanspruchung eine reduzierte Lebensdauer im Vergleich zu schwingungsresistenten Strukturen auf. Die Integration passiver Dämpfungsstrukturen in die Werkzeuge kann diese Herausforderung lösen. Das Laser-Strahlschmelzen (PBF-LB/M) ermöglicht diese Funktionsintegration und die Herstellung geometrisch komplexer Strukturen. Im Forschungsprojekt „AM Damping Microstructures“ werden daher additiv gefertigte Dämpfungsstrukturen untersucht, um das Dämpfungsverhalten vibrationsanfälliger Bauteile gezielt einzustellen. Die Ergebnisse in dieser Arbeit vergleichen das Dämpfungsverhalten und die dynamische Nachgiebigkeit unterschiedlicher Konzepte.

AbstractParkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that results from the loss of dopaminergic neurons. Mutations in coiled‐coil‐helix‐coiled‐coil‐helix domain containing 2 (CHCHD2) gene cause a familial form of PD with α‐Synuclein aggregation, and we here identified the pathogenesis of the T61I mutation, the most common disease‐causing mutation of CHCHD2. In Neuro2a cells, CHCHD2 is in mitochondria, whereas the T61I mutant (CHCHD2T61I) is mislocalized in the cytosol. CHCHD2T61l then recruits casein kinase 1 epsilon/delta (Csnk1e/d), which phosphorylates neurofilament and α‐Synuclein, forming cytosolic aggresomes. In vivo, both Chchd2T61I knock‐in and transgenic mice display neurodegenerative phenotypes and aggresomes containing Chchd2T61I, Csnk1e/d, phospho‐α‐Synuclein, and phospho‐neurofilament in their dopaminergic neurons. Similar aggresomes were observed in a postmortem PD patient brain and dopaminergic neurons generated from patient‐derived iPS cells. Importantly, a Csnk1e/d inhibitor substantially suppressed the phosphorylation of neurofilament and α‐Synuclein. The Csnk1e/d inhibitor also suppressed the cellular damage in CHCHD2T61I‐expressing Neuro2a cells and dopaminergic neurons generated from patient‐derived iPS cells and improved the neurodegenerative phenotypes of Chchd2T61I mutant mice. These results indicate that Csnk1e/d is involved in the pathogenesis of PD caused by the CHCHD2T61I mutation.
