Authors: Chen Siyu , Sun Wei , Dan Min , Sun Yue , Jiang Yongsheng 
Published: July 2023

AbstractCancer patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) are prone to poor prognoses. Thus, we aimed to develop a nomogram to predict the risk of VTE in these patients. We retrospectively analyzed 791 patients diagnosed with solid tumors between January 2017 and May 2021 at Tongji Hospital. Univariate logistic analysis and multivariate logistic regression were adopted in this study. Our results indicated that age ≥ 60 years, tumor stages III-IV, platelet distribution width (PDW) ≤ 12.6%, albumin concentration ≤ 38.8 g/L, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentration ≥ 198 U/L, D-dimer concentration ≥ 1.72 µg/mL, blood hemoglobin concentration ≤ 100 g/dL or the use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and cancer types were independent risk factors. The nomogram prediction model was developed based on the regression coefficients of these variables. We assessed the performance of the nomogram by calibration plot and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and compared it with the Khorana score. The concordance index (C- index) of the nomogram was 0.852 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.823 to 0.880], while the Khorana score was 0.681 (95% CI 0.639 to 0.723). Given its performance, this nomogram could be used to select cancer patients at high risk for VTE and guide thromboprophylaxis treatment in clinical practice, provided it is validated in an external cohort.
Comparative evaluation of strategies for improving the robustness of complex networks
Authors: Socievole Annalisa , Pizzuti Clara 
Published: July 2023

AbstractDesigning network systems able to sustain functionality after random failures or targeted attacks is a crucial aspect of networks. This paper investigates several strategies of link selection aiming at enhancing the robustness of a network by optimizing the effective graph resistance. In particular, we study the problem of optimizing this measure through two different strategies: the addition of a non-existing link to the network and the protection of an existing link whose removal would result in a severe network compromise. For each strategy, we exploit a genetic algorithm as optimization technique, and a computationally efficient technique based on the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse matrix of the Laplacian of a graph for approximating the effective graph resistance. We compare these strategies to other state-of-the art methods over both real-world and synthetic networks finding that our proposals provide a higher speedup, especially on large networks, and results closer to those provided by the exhaustive search.
Unlikely heroes on the long and winding road to potato inbreeding
Authors: Comai Luca 
Published: July 2023

AbstractConversion of potato from a tetraploid, heterozygous, vegetatively propagated crop to a diploid F1 hybrid, propagated via botanical seed, would constitute a considerable advance for global agriculture, but faces multiple challenges. One such challenge is the difficulty in inbreeding potato, which involves purging deleterious alleles from its genome. This commentary discusses possible reasons for this difficulty and highlights a recent sequence-based effort to classify SNP variation, in potato germplasm, according to its deleterious potential. Tools and strategies connected to this database may facilitate development of F1 hybrids.
Diet quality and its associated factors among adults with overweight and obesity: findings from the 2015–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Authors: Zhao Yajie , Araki Tetsuya 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe rate of adult severe obesity has been continually rising in the USA. While improving diet quality has been shown to reduce the risk of obesity, few studies have explored the differences in diet quality among adults with overweight and obesity by different weight statuses along with socio-demographic factors and physical activity using data from a nationally representative survey in the USA. The main goal of the study is to assess the diet quality of adults with overweight and obesity by examining differences in the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-2015) scores, using data from the 2015–2018 National Health and Nutrition Survey. Among 6746 adults with overweight and obesity (aged ≥ 20 years), severe obesity was prevalent (27 %), particularly among females, non-Hispanic Blacks and those with lower education and income. Compared to adults with overweight, adults with severe obesity had lower HEI-2015 total scores as well as component scores for total fruits, whole fruits, greens and beans, refined grains, sodium and saturated fats. Among adults with overweight and obesity, non-Hispanic Blacks had lower diet quality than non-Hispanic Asians; females had better diet quality than males; older adults had better diet quality than younger adults; adults with a college degree and above had better diet quality than those with less than a high school degree. Socio-demographic differences in diet quality and weight status should be considered in future obesity interventions to reduce adult severe obesity in the USA.
Encountering the morphological and molecular complexity in the bramble shark Echinorhinus cf. E. brucus (Bonnaterre 1788) from the Oman Sea

Abstract
This is the first simultaneous morphological and barcoding characterization with the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) of the bramble shark Echinorhinus from the coast of Oman. The morphology of the specimen was consistent with previous records of Echinorhinus from the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea (Northwestern Indian Ocean). However, the new COI haplotype clustered together with homologous sequences of specimens from India. The specimen from Oman distinguished morphologically and genetically from an E. brucus from the Western Atlantic Ocean on the shape and size of the dermal denticles, the proportions of twelve morphometric measurements (differences ⩾3%) and the genetic p-distance = 3.8% of the COI fragment. The haplotype reported here increases the genetic diversity in genus Echinorhinus in the Northwest Indian Ocean, demonstrates conspecificity between specimens from Oman and Echinorhinus cf. E. brucus distributed in India and extends its range of distribution. The limited morphological and molecular data available constrained assigning our specimen to other than Echinorhinus cf. E. brucus (Bonnaterrez, 1788). Our findings highlight the urgent need of morphological review, redescription and the assignment of a neotype in order to guarantee accurate species identification and thus effective conservation measures for these deep-sea sharks. The existence of a third living species in the genus is briefly discussed.
Switching between system 1 and system 2: The nature of competing intuitions and the role of disfluency
Authors: Kołeczek Maryna , Sekerdej Maciej 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This commentary identifies two problems concerning the switch mechanism: The model explains too few instances of switching, and the switching mechanism itself seems fallible. The improvements we suggest are to clarify the nature of the competing intuitions as the initial intuition and its negation or alternative ways to solve the problem, and to incorporate cognitive disfluency into the switching mechanism.
WIENER TAUBERIAN THEOREMS FOR CERTAIN BANACH ALGEBRAS ON REAL RANK ONE SEMISIMPLE LIE GROUPS
Authors: RANA TAPENDU 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe prove Wiener Tauberian theorem type results for various spaces of radial functions, which are Banach algebras on a real-rank-one semisimple Lie group G. These are natural generalizations of the Wiener Tauberian theorem for the commutative Banach algebra of the integrable radial functions on G.

AbstractIron (Fe) is an essential element for all organisms. Fe deficiency can limit plant production and cause anaemia in humans. The improvement of Fe homoeostasis could resolve both problems. Fe homoeostasis inAegilops tauschii, the D genome donor of bread wheat, is not fully understood. Here, we analysed physiological traits in 42 accessions ofAe. tauschiiassociated with Fe homoeostasis, i.e. mugineic acid family phytosiderophores (MAs), phenylamides, SPAD values and metal concentrations. All traits showed diversity, suggesting the presence of candidate genes in theAe. tauschiiaccessions, which could improve Fe homoeostasis in bread wheat. All accessions mainly produced and secreted mainly 2′-deoxymugineic acid among MAs, but eight of them secreted unknown products from their roots under Fe deficiency. It was revealed that 15 kinds of phenylamides and 2 kinds of bread wheat phytoalexins were produced in Fe-deficient roots ofAe. tauschii. Multivariate and principal component analyses showed that chlorophyll content was correlated with shoot Fe concentration. Genome-wide association study analysis associated several genomic markers with the variations in each trait analysed. Our results suggest thatAe. tauschiihas alleles that could improve Fe homoeostasis to generate Fe-deficiency-tolerant or Fe-biofortified bread wheat.

Published: July 2023

AbstractVehicular safety is of considerable significance to the intelligent development of hybrid vehicles. However, the real-time stability control or reasonable torque distribution under the extreme road conditions remain a huge challenge due to the multiple uncertain parameters and difficulties to reconcile the handling and stability performance. To address the above problems for a through-the-road (TTR) 4-wheel-drive (4WD) hybrid vehicle, this study provides a handling and stability management (HSM) approach by incorporating the offline optimization rules and on-line model predictive control (MPC). Firstly, the vehicle dynamic model with seven degrees of freedom (7-DOF) is used to offline extract torque distribution rules (Offline-ETDR), and the online MPC feedback (Online-MPCF) is utilized to compensate the extra torque requirements for the poor effect under the extreme conditions. Accordingly, the offline optimization results and online correction are fused to provide the total torque demand given the real-time road condition detection. Finally, the real vehicle test are implemented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed torque coordination strategy. In comparison to the vehicle with no torque control strategy, the proposed method significantly improves the vehicle's cornering ability while also ensuring the high stability performance.
Turbine effect on dental students’ lateral pinch modulation and performances
Authors: Lugassy D , Khalaily M , Shely A , Levanon Y , Portnoy S , Brosh T 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Background
Dental turbines can generate significant vibrations that may be transmitted to dentists’ hands. The vibrations contribute to neural impairment and decrease dexterity over the long duration. It is unclear whether such vibration effects would be detected in the short time during the pre-clinical year of dentistry study.

Aims
To investigate the effect of vibrations on lateral pinch modulation and manual performance of dentistry students.

Methods
Four lateral pinch modulation tests by a square-shaped force sensing resistor (FSR) were administered to 30 dental students during their phantom course. Tests were performed with dominant and non-dominant hands at two time points: T0 (2 months after commencing phantom training) and T1 (end of phantom training). At each time point, students accomplished two manual performance tests on plastic teeth. Comparisons were made between lateral pinch modulation test scores at different times, considering the differences between hands and gender. The relationships between the FSR tests and manual performance were also determined.

Results
The participating 19 female and 11 male students had a combined 50% response rate. At T1, the lateral pinch modulation for all tests significantly decreased for the dominant hand (P &lt; 0.05) and non-dominant hand (P &lt; 0.05). For the non-dominant hand at T1, the lateral pinch modulation of females significantly decreased as compared to males (P &lt; 0.05). No significant correlations were found between lateral pinch modulation and manual tasks at T0 and T1.

Conclusions
The lateral pinch modulation of the fingers of dental students deteriorated after only 8 months of training at phantom (short-time exposure), with females at higher risk and possibly earlier symptoms manifestation.

Abstract

Background
The patient selection for optimal adjuvant therapy in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is provided by nomogram based on tumor size, mitotic index, tumor location, and tumor rupture. Although mutational status is not currently used to risk assessment, tumor genotype showed a prognostic influence on natural history and tumor relapse. Innovative measures, such as KIT/PDGFRA-mutant-specific variant allele frequency (VAF) levels detection from next-generation sequencing (NGS), may act as a surrogate of tumor burden and correlate with prognosis and overall survival of patients with GIST, helping the choice for adjuvant treatment.

Patients and Methods
This was a multicenter, hospital-based, retrospective/prospective cohort study to investigate the prognostic role of KIT or PDGFRA-VAF of GIST in patients with radically resected localized disease. In the current manuscript, we present the results from the retrospective phase of the study.

Results
Two-hundred (200) patients with GIST between 2015 and 2022 afferent to 6 Italian Oncologic Centers in the EURACAN Network were included in the study. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis was used to classify “low” vs. “high” VAF values, further normalized on neoplastic cellularity (nVAF). When RFS between the low and high nVAF groups were compared, patients with GIST with KIT/PDGFRA nVAF &gt; 50% showed less favorable RFS than patients in the group of nVAF ≤ 50% (2-year RFS, 72.6% vs. 93%, respectively; P = .003). The multivariable Cox regression model confirmed these results. In the homogeneous sub-population of intermediate-risk, patients with KIT-mutated GIST, the presence of nVAF &gt;50% was statistically associated with higher disease recurrence.

Conclusion
In our study, we demonstrated that higher nVAF levels were independent predictors of GIST prognosis and survival in localized GIST patients with tumors harboring KIT or PDGFRA mutations. In the cohort of intermediate-risk patients, nVAF could be helpful to improve prognostication and the use of adjuvant imatinib.
‘Fearann Oirghiall Ghlúnmhár Ghrínn’
Authors: Trimble Gearóid 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the fortunes of an evolving Gaelic song tradition that had begun to flourish in south-east Ulster from the seventeenth century onwards. A critical review of the early documentary sources illustrates a well-established, albeit once-elusive, literary tradition that only began to fully reveal itself from the end of the nineteenth century onwards, in both manuscript and oral tradition. The living oral sources of the period held a precious repertoire of poetry and song which they had accumulated over generations of oral transmission, one which arguably captures the true extent and inherent quality of this region’s rich culture of song that has come to characterise this region and its people for over three hundred years.
Policy Hubs and the Formation of Economic Regulatory Norms
Authors: Kovacic William E. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The regulation of Big Tech is a matter of intense global concern. Multiplicity is a notable element of the regulatory response. Numerous, parallel efforts have emerged within a number of jurisdictions to expand the enforcement of existing laws and to create new ex ante regulatory mechanisms. The pursuit of solutions to perceived problems arising from the extraordinary growth of Big Tech enterprises confronts economic regulators with unprecedented challenges as they seek to understand highly dynamic commercial sectors and integrate learning from a variety of policy domains and professional disciplines. This chapter considers the contributions that academic research institutions—“academic hubs”—can play in devising sound regulatory strategies and facilitating adoption, within and across jurisdictions, of superior norms regarding the substance and process of regulatory oversight.
The Middle Essays and Reviews
Authors: Scavino Dardo 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Jorge Luis Borges’s essays revolve around three concepts he adopted in the early 1930s and continued to use until his final days, through under a variety of names: figuration, prefiguration, and transfiguration. At times he called them superstition, omen, and echo; other times modesty, precursor, and repetition. In the essays of Other Inquisitions and in other later texts, this trilogy would gradually assume a metaphysical status resulting from an ever-widening understanding of writing, which, according to Borges, is a part of the world but is also its totality. Time, memory, and personal and universal history would become dimensions of writing: anything that figures among the things of the world is, in fact, a thing—a discreet transfiguration of something that has already happened and an enigmatic prefiguration of something yet to come. Este artículo aborda tres conceptos de los ensayos de Jorge Luis Borges a partir de los años treinta: la figuración, la prefiguración y la transfiguración. A partir de Otras inquisiciones, y otros textos de la madurez, esa trilogía fue asumiendo un estatuto metafísico. Cualquier cosa que pueble este mundo tiene para Borges un estatuto de figura, transfiguración de algo que sucedió y prefiguración de algo que sucederá.
Borges and Postcolonial Studies
Authors: Herzovich Guido 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
A central writer in Argentina since the 1920s, then hailed in Europe and the United States as a “universal” master since the 1960s, Borges has been both a captivating and a controversial figure for postcolonial and world-literary perspectives since the 1990s. These latter readings contested previous “universalist” ones, generally framed by poststructuralist and postmodern concerns. From Edna Aizenberg’s early “Borges, postcolonial precursor” to Robin Fiddian’s recent Postcolonial Borges, postcolonial readings of Borges have emphasized his belonging either to Buenos Aires, to Latin America, or to the periphery. This article examines how these attempts to reclaim him have been intertwined with political, cultural, and infrastructural transformations, which have accelerated the international circulation of literature while marginalizing its significance in politics and society.
Understanding Immigrant Labor Market Stratification
Authors: Kogan Irena , Kosyakova Yuliya 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The chapter outlines a conceptual framework for understanding the immigrant labor market stratification adopted in Western (primarily European) scholarship, which incorporates both individual and contextual factors. Explanations for immigrant stratification patterns at the individual level further consider the two-sided nature of immigrant labor market incorporation, examining both immigrants and the receiving society. The chapter presents major theoretical developments and empirical findings in the field, but also identifies several unresolved issues. It discusses how the case of recent refugee migration can shed light on these controversies. The chapter concludes by highlighting the potential of refugee research for contributing to a more general understanding of immigrant labor market stratification.
‘Never to leave that valley’
Authors: McDonald Peter 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The Sligo of Yeats’s poetry is largely County Sligo, especially in his successful early work, which includes poems such as ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree’, ‘The Stolen Child’, ‘The Man Who Dreamed of Faeryland’, and ‘The Fiddler of Dooney’. Much of Yeats’s earlier prose work, too, depends heavily on County Sligo for its settings and sources: before he was Augusta Gregory’s co-worker in folkloric field research in County Galway, the poet had plenty of experience in collecting and recycling stories from the Sligo area. Yeats could do little about being known persistently as the poet of Sligo; but he was also, and more consequentially, the poet who left Sligo and who (at least until his eventual burial in Drumcliff churchyard) did not return there to stay.
A Country Over Wave
Authors: Manabe Akiko 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
W. B. Yeats’s encounter with Japan was influenced by intellectuals from various countries and created a completely new art form, removed from the established Western tradition. This chapter evaluates Yeats’s influence by Japanese artists and the reception of Japanese culture in Western modernism. It investigates the impact on his experiments with traditional Noh and kyogen theatre, collectively referred to as nogaku, which had been simultaneously developed in Japan during the fourteenth century. It also discusses how Yeats integrated both tragic and comic versions of Japanese drama in Noh and kyogen plays in his dramaturgy, and ends with a consideration of recent productions of Yeats’s playsin Japan.
The Ghost of Parnell
Authors: Foster R. F. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Conor Cruise O’Brien memorably defined the history of the generation before we were born as ‘a twilit zone of time’, never quite belonging to the larger historical experience. Rather, it is a site of impressions and assumptions acquired from supposed ‘memories’ which are actually derived from our parents’ recollections, and a sense of continuity dependent upon ‘the personality, opinions, and talkativeness of our elder relations’. Elsewhere, O’Brien referred to Parnell’s mysterious but charismatic persona posthumously ‘deviating from politics into literature’, a process particularly manipulated by W. B. Yeats. This is true, but the manner in which Yeats absorbed and used the memory of Parnell is at once more direct and more distanced than first appears. In Yeats’s case, evaluating the influence of literary Parnellism requires a careful examination of chronology, omission, and political context.
W. B. Yeats, John Quinn, and the Literary Marketplace
Authors: Hassett Joseph 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The American lawyer John Quinn, who first met Yeats on a visit to Ireland in 1902 and became a supportive patron of the poet, contributed significantly to the creation of W. B. Yeats and the marketing of his work in the US. As a supporter, Quinn played many roles in Yeats’s life, including those of agent, lawyer, promoter, lecture tour organizer, publicist, would-be editor, advisor, friend, and rival. Their relationship was also one of conflict, but even the conflicts between the two men can be seen as flashpoints that illuminate aspects of Quinn’s highly productive role in the literary marketplace for Yeats’s work.
