Published: May 2023

We used a prevalence-based approach to estimate the economic costs associated with low muscle strength, as assessed using handgrip strength, in Canadian adults. We estimated the annual economic burden of low muscle strength at $3.0 billion, representing 2.2% of the 2021 Canadian burden of illness costs. The two most expensive chronic diseases attributable to low muscle strength were cardiovascular disease ($899 million) and type 2 diabetes ($880 million). A 10% decrease in the prevalence of low handgrip strength would save approximately $546 million per year, equivalent to an 18.1% cost reduction. Strategies to increase population-level muscle strength are needed to reduce healthcare costs and improve health. The economic cost associated with low muscle strength in Canadian adults is unknown. The total annual economic burden of low muscle strength in Canadian adults represents 2.2% of the overall burden of illness costs in 2021. We estimated that $546 million per year would be saved if the prevalence of low handgrip strength was reduced by 10%.

However, the scintillation provides a modest signal-to-noise ratio, making difficult a pile-up pulse-shape recognition and rejection at timescales shorter than a few ms. Neganov–Trofimov–Luke assisted light detectors (NTL-LDs) offer the possibility to effectively increase the signal-to-noise ratio, preserving a fast time-response, and enhance the capability of pile-up rejection via pulse shape analysis.

Shifting physics of vortex particles to higher energies via quantum entanglement
Authors: Karlovets D. V. , Baturin S. S. , Geloni G. , Sizykh G. K. , Serbo V. G. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractPhysics of structured waves is currently limited to relatively small particle energies as the available generation techniques are only applicable to the soft X-ray twisted photons, to the beams of electron microscopes, to cold neutrons, or non-relativistic atoms. The highly energetic vortex particles with an orbital angular momentum would come in handy for a number of experiments in atomic physics, nuclear, hadronic, and accelerator physics, and to generate them one needs to develop alternative methods, applicable for ultrarelativistic energies and for composite particles. Here, we show that the vortex states of in principle arbitrary particles can be generated during photon emission in helical undulators, via Cherenkov radiation, in collisions of charged particles with intense laser beams, in such scattering or annihilation processes as$$e\mu \rightarrow e\mu , ep \rightarrow ep, e^-e^+ \rightarrow p\bar{p}$$eμ→eμ,ep→ep,e-e+→pp¯, and so forth. The key element in obtaining them is the postselection protocol due to entanglement between a pair of final particles and it is largely not the process itself. The state of a final particle – be it a$$\gamma $$γ-ray, a hadron, a nucleus, or an ion – becomes twisted if the azimuthal angle of the other particle momentum is measured with a large error or is not measured at all. As a result, requirements to the beam transverse coherence can be greatly relaxed, which enables the generation of highly energetic vortex beams at accelerators and synchrotron radiation facilities, thus making them a new tool for hadronic and spin studies.
Effective fluid mixture of tensor-multi-scalar gravity
Authors: Miranda Marcello , Graham Pierre-Antoine , Faraoni Valerio 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWe apply to tensor-multi-scalar gravity the effective fluid analysis based on the representation of the gravitational scalar field as a dissipative effective fluid. This generalization poses new challenges as the effective fluid is now a complicated mixture of individual fluids mutually coupled to each other, and many reference frames are possible for its description. They are all legitimate, although not all convenient for specific problems, and they give rise to different physical interpretations. Two of these frames are highlighted, and implications for cosmology are pointed out.
Investigation of the intrinsic magnetic properties of GdCo4B single crystal: determination of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy from the first-order magnetization processes
Authors: Svitlyk V. , Kuz’min M. D. , Mozharivskyj Y. , Isnard O. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWe report on the intrinsic magnetic properties of a GdCo4B single crystal as derived from magnetization measurements. The occurrence of a first-order magnetization process (FOMP) in a magnetic field applied perpendicularly to the easy magnetization direction provides an opportunity to determine the anisotropy parameters K1 and K2. To this end, the theoretical approach proposed previously for easy-plane magnets has been adapted for the case of easy-axis compounds exhibiting a FOMP. The obtained anisotropy parameters of GdCo4B are compared with the values deduced by other classical techniques. The presence of a compensation point in the thermal dependence of the spontaneous magnetization has enabled the determination of the exchange field on Gd, Bex = 131 T, which is in good agreement with inelastic neutron scattering results published earlier. Influence of the applied pressure on the anisotropy parameters is quantified using the pressure dependence of the FOMP, revealing a significant sensitivity of the anisotropy parameters to pressure.
The Elusive Mandate of Heaven: Changing Views of Tianming 天命 in the Eastern Zhou Period
Authors: Luo Xinhui , Pines Yuri 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The concept of tianming 天命 (Mandate of Heaven/Heaven’s Mandate) is often viewed as a foundational principle of Chinese political culture. However, as paleographic and textual evidence marshalled in our article suggests, during the formative age of this culture—the Eastern Zhou period (eighth through third centuries BCE)—this concept underwent profound changes and lost much of its original appeal. With the de facto collapse of Zhou authority in 771 BCE, tianming became dissociated from the idea of singular and universal rule. Henceforth it could refer to a regional lord’s hegemonic power, or the right to rule one’s state, or just to an opportune moment or individual destiny. The very idea of Heaven as an activist deity that guaranteed political order was questioned by many, further eroding the appeal of tianming. However, the Western Zhou notion of tianming did not perish altogether. It remained “an ideology in reserve,” part of a broad toolkit of political ideas, to be rediscovered and redeployed by Han dynasty imperial ideologues.
The Making of a Hero and a Villain: Southern Song Literati’s Changing Perceptions of the Memoirs of Li Gang and Wang Boyan
Authors: Chu Ming-kin 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This article discusses how Southern Song literati’s changing perceptions of the three memoirs of Li Gang 李綱 (1083–1140) and Wang Boyan 汪伯彥 (1069–1141) shaped their posthumous reputations. Both men served as chief councilor in the early Southern Song. Literati in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries became increasingly skeptical of Wang Boyan’s memoir, a work that had been considered as authentic decades earlier. Partly driven by their irredentist passion and their disappointment with autocratic councilors, literati identified with the hawkish Li and supported the printing of his works. After Li’s formerly lesser-known personal memoir had a wider circulation in the thirteenth century, daoxue 道學 historians deliberately adopted his overt criticism of Wang to form a new narrative that praised Li and vilified Wang. The posthumous reputations of the two men went into two extremes as a result—Wang was nefarious while Li was an illustrious minister.
Comparison of transmission of Bursaphelenchus mucronatus via two different pathways from Monochamus saltuarius to host trees
Authors: Nakayama Yusuke , Togashi Katsumi 
Published: May 2023

Summary
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the causative agent of pine wilt disease, and B. mucronatus are transmitted by Monochamus adults to host trees. Feeding and oviposition wounds made by vectors are the primary transmission pathways to trees. Monochamus saltuarius female adults carrying B. mucronatus were reared singly and allowed to mate with nematode-free males at 5-day intervals, to determine the ratio of nematodes transmitted via the two different pathways. The survival time, lifetime fecundity and other reproductive traits decreased with increasing initial nematode load (number of nematodes carried by a newly-emerged adult). Model selection indicated that numbers of B. mucronatus departing from M. saltuarius and of those transmitted to pine via oviposition and feeding wounds were closely related to the initial nematode load, which was affected by survival time and number of oviposition wounds constructed. Most temporal patterns of nematode departure and transmission via oviposition or feeding wounds from individual vectors had a peak in the medium and heavy initial nematode loads. The nematode departure curve was significantly similar in shape to each of the nematode transmission curves via oviposition and feeding wounds, which were not significantly similar to each other, for individual vectors. After M. saltuarius females began to construct the oviposition wounds, it was estimated that B. mucronatus was transmitted via the oviposition wounds at a probability of 0.767. If B. xylophilus is transmitted in the same way as B. mucronatus, the incidence of pine wilt disease by mature vectors would be much lower than in the case of no oviposition-related transmission.
If I Ran the Zoo: Protecting the Rights of Black African Minorities
Authors: Lalude Olalekan Moyosore 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
If I Ran a Zoo is a metaphoric trope for the normalisation of racism in European society for decades at a time when the contradiction of aspiring to the civilised world where human dignity, regardless of any distinctive status, would be respected. This article resolved the research question on how the rights of black African minorities can be protected while creating a safe space for the black people in Europe. Through content analysis, the article demonstrated the nature and origin of racism. It argued that racism and racial discrimination as it is rife against black African people, is a serious challenge for the realisation of human rights in Europe. It further considered the rights of black African minorities in the context of an Afrophobic Europe, and why international human rights law has failed to protect black African people. While it examined the risk posed to the lives of black minorities, it concluded that the elimination of racism and racial discrimination is within the capacity of European states, and consists in their showing greater responsibility towards their obligations in the European Convention on Human Rights.
The White Nuns in Outremer
Authors: Duba William , Schabel Chris 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This is the first in a series of papers on the history and archaeology of St Theodore Abbey, a Cistercian nunnery founded in Nicosia, Cyprus, in the early thirteenth century that survived into the mid-sixteenth century, the remains of which were discovered and excavated in 2004-2005. This paper begins by placing the abbey into its historical context, describing the Cistercian Order, its spread to the East, and the early history of the White Nuns. Then it traces the history of the abbey of St Theodore itself as told by the surviving documentary evidence, which is published in an appendix.
Beyond the Ego-Politics of Critical Pedagogy: the Rise of Radical Social Justice Pedagogies from the Global South
Authors: Moyo Last 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Critical pedagogy faces epistemic limitations that are negatively impacting its ability to effectively deal with social justice issues arising from the Global South. The Global South consists of those who live in the exteriority or the margins of a modern system that classifies world populations hierarchically based on the color line. It is about those who inhabit zones of nonbeing whose humanity continues to be discounted even after the presumed globalization of human rights. The Global South comprises several racialized populations, indigenous peoples, women, unwelcome refugees and many others who live in conditions of dehumanization arising from systemic racism and capitalist exploitation. Most of these epistemic limits of critical pedagogy, have culminated in the proliferation of decolonial or border pedagogies that appeal more to the social justice and protest struggles of the marginalized and the poor.
The Prague Spring of 1968
Authors: Chmelar Jiri 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The Prague Spring of 1968 and the events immediately following it represent a significant historical moment in Czechoslovak history. The unprecedented activation of society through protest and media, the search for its own path of development and its violent interruption, still resonate in society today. The following essay narrates major occurrences of the ‘Prague Spring,’ starting with its prologue, moving to the unfolding of 1968 events, and closing with an epilogue. It focuses on the activation of society in its criticism of the old order, support for change, rejection of the violent interruption and the onset of normalization in a changed political scene.
Metastasis of Renal Cell Carcinoma to Pancreatic Bile Duct
Authors: Torres Olivieri Andres , Longoria Dubocq Texell , Hernandez Rivera Pedro 
Published: May 2023

Secondary pancreatic neoplasms account for less than 5% of all pancreatic malignancies, with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) being one of the most common primary tumors. Here, we present the case of a patient with obstructive jaundice secondary to an isolated metastatic RCC, to the intrapancreatic portion of the common bile duct, ampulla of Vater, and pancreatic parenchyma. Patient had a history of a left radical nephrectomy due to a primary RCC 10 years prior to presentation, and eventually underwent a pylorus-sparing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with minor morbidity. While metastases of RCC to the pancreatic body and tail have been reported, isolated metastasis to the pancreatic bile duct comprises an even rarer subgroup.

Published: May 2023

Background: Perinatal anxiety affects the antenatal woman, the growing fetus, and the newborn. This systematic review evaluated the effect of listening to music on perinatal anxiety among pregnant women and on newborn behaviors. No available reviews focus on interventions that include only classical forms of music or its benefit on perinatal anxiety among low-risk pregnant women or on newborn behaviors. Methods: We included peer-reviewed primary research studies on the effect of music on perinatal anxiety, published in English, between January 2010 and August 2022. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and ProQuest were searched using specific keywords, resulting in 225 studies for screening by title, abstract, and full text. Two independent reviewers screened them and assessed the quality of the included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using Cochrane’s Risk of Bias 2.0 tool (RoB2) and non-randomized controlled trial studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool. Due to the heterogeneity of outcome measures, the review’s findings were summarized qualitatively. Results: Nine studies with 1646 pregnant women and one with 260 pregnant women and their neonates were included. Results of all studies suggest that listening to classical music reduces the anxiety levels among pregnant women, as measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Only one study reported the beneficial effect of antenatal exposure to music on improving newborn behaviors like orientation (ES 1.13, 95% CI: 0.82–1.44, P < 0.0001) and habituation (ES 1.05, 95% CI: 0.53–1.57, P = 0.0001). The risk of bias was unclear in most of the studies. Conclusions: Listening to classical music during the perinatal period may be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing anxiety and pain and improving sleep quality and newborn behaviors. There is a need to conduct further interventional studies on the types of music provided and their effects on perinatal health outcomes. Registration of the Protocol: The review was prospectively registered in PROSPERO 2021 CRD42021256806.

Published: May 2023

Background Gamification is a promising field of research that can benefit education. In particular, it can benefit teaching programming to children. Emotional Learning Companions (ELCs) are interactive systems that dialogue with the students as well as provide them with emotional support. Intervention The design of ELCs was extended with gamification to teach programming to Primary Education children. Riddles, levels, badges, and a leader board with trophies among other traditional gamification elements were incorporated into the learning companion, as well as game mechanics, aesthetics and connection with the players (students) to increase their learning, motivation and satisfaction levels. Methods A pre-post test single group experimental research design was followed to test the proposal. In total, 137 students aged between 10 and 12 years used the gamified learning companion during an academic year in Ecuador. Results The results showed a significant increase in students’ learning scores as well as satisfaction and motivation levels above 90%. Conclusion Therefore, the conclusion is that gamifying ELCs to teach programming in Primary Education can improve students’ learning scores, satisfaction, and motivation levels.

Purpose Identifying actionable oncogenic mutations have changed the therapeutic landscape in different types of tumors. This study investigated the utility of comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP), a hybrid capture-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay, in clinical practice in a developing country. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, CGP was performed on clinical samples from patients with different solid tumors recruited between December 2016 and November 2020, using hybrid capture-based genomic profiling, at the individual treating physicians’ request in the clinical care for therapy decisions. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were estimated to characterize the time-to-event variables. Results Patients median age was 61 years (range: 14–87 years), and 64.7% were female. The most common histological diagnosis was lung primary tumors, with 90 patients corresponding to 52.9% of the samples (95% CI 45.4-60.4%). Actionable mutations with FDA-approved medications for specific alterations correspondent to tumoral histology were identified in 58 cases (46.4%), whereas other alterations were detected in 47 different samples (37.6%). The median overall survival was 15.5 months (95% CI 11.7 months-NR). Patients who were subjected to genomic evaluation at diagnosis reached a median overall survival of 18.3 months (95% CI 14.9 months-NR) compared to 14.1 months (95% CI 11.1 months-NR) in patients who obtained genomic evaluation after tumor progression and during standard treatment ( P = .7). Conclusion CGP of different types of tumors identifies clinically relevant genomic alterations that have benefited from targeted therapy and improve cancer care in a developing country to guide personalized treatment to beneficial outcomes of cancer patients.
