Published: March 2023

AbstractWith the grand desert hypothesis, we have proposed to probe the supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) at the future proton–proton (pp) colliders and Hyper-Kamiokande experiment previously. In this paper, we study the supersymmetric GUTs with gravity mediated supersymmetry breaking in details. First, considering the dimension-six proton decay via heavy gauge boson exchange, we point out that we can probe the supersymmetric GUTs with GUT scale $$M_{GUT}$$

Temporal scales, sampling designs and age distributions in marine conservation palaeobiology
Authors: Tomašových Adam , Dominici Stefano , Nawrot Rafał , Zuschin Martin 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Conservation palaeobiology informs conservation and restoration of ecosystems by using the fossil record to discriminate between baseline and novel states and to assess ecosystem response to perturbations. Variability in the time-scale of palaeobiological data can generate patterns that either exaggerate or mute the magnitude of biotic changes. We identify two approaches that remedy the challenges associated with the mixing of baseline and post-impact states and with the transformation of the stratigraphic depth to time. First, combining surface death assemblages with both (1) fossil assemblages preserved in the subsurface historical layers and (2) living assemblages can better resolve the nature of ecosystem shifts than within-core surveys or live–dead analyses alone. Second, post-mortem age distributions of skeletal particles and their preservation states are not only informative about stratigraphic resolution and time averaging of death assemblages but also about the timing of changes in abundance of skeletal producers. High abundance of the youngest age cohorts in surface death assemblages is a null expectation of disintegration and burial dynamic. When this dynamic is accounted for, age distributions of benthic invertebrates from Holocene sediments often reveal high volatility, prolonged turn-offs in production or pervasive regime shifts that are obscured in the raw stratigraphic record.
Improved Persistence to Medication, Decreased Cardiovascular Events and Reduced All-Cause Mortality in Hypertensive Patients With Use of Single-Pill Combinations: Results From the START-Study
Authors: Schmieder Roland E. , Wassmann Sven , Predel Hans-Georg , Weisser Burkhard , Blettenberg Jörg , Gillessen Anton , Randerath Olaf , Mevius Antje , Wilke Thomas , Böhm Michael 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Single-pill combination improves adherence and persistence to medication in hypertension. It remains unclear whether this also reduces cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality. We analyzed whether single-pill combinations are superior to identical multiple pills on persistence to medication, cardiovascular outcomes, and all-cause mortality.

Methods:
This was a retrospective claims data (German AOK PLUS) analysis. Data from hypertensive patients ≥18 years treated with renin-angiotensin system combinations given as single pill or identical multipills covering the years 2012 to 2018 were analyzed and followed up to at least 1 year. After 1:1 propensity score matching, persistence to medication, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality were compared using non-parametric tests. Results were reported as incidence rate ratios and hazard ratios.

Results:
After propensity score matching data from 57 998 patients were analyzed: 10 801 patients received valsartan/amlodipine, 1026 candesartan/amlodipine, 15 349 ramipril/amlodipine, and 1823 amlodipine/valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide as single pill or identical multipill. No relevant differences in patient characteristics were observed within the 4 groups. In all groups, a significant lower all-cause mortality, a significant a higher persistence to medication, a significant lower event rate in 15 out of 20 comparisons, and a tendency in the remaining 5 comparisons was observed under single pills compared with multipill combinations.

Conclusions:
Antihypertensive combination therapy reduces all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events when provided as single pill compared to identical drugs as multipills. This strongly supports the European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension and International Society of Hypertension guidelines recommending the use of a single-pill combination and thus should be more rigorously implemented into daily clinical practice.

Published: March 2023

Background:
Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is highly prevalent in stroke survivors and correlated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. This study aimed to identify the neural substrate of PSCI using atlas-based disconnectome analysis and assess the value of disconnection score, a baseline measure for stroke-induced structural disconnection, in PSCI prediction.

Methods:
A multicenter prospective cohort of 676 first-ever patients with acute ischemic stroke was enrolled from 3 independent hospitals in China. Sociodemographic, clinical, and neuroimaging data were collected at acute stage of stroke. Cognitive assessment was performed at 3 months after stroke. Voxel-wise and tract-wise disconnectome analysis were performed to uncover the strategic structural disconnection pattern for global PSCI. Disconnection score was calculated for each participant in leave-one-dataset-out cross-validation. Multivariable logistic regression was performed for the association between disconnection score and PSCI. Prediction models with and without disconnection score were developed, cross-validated, and compared in terms of discrimination and goodness-of-fit.

Results:

Compared with lesions of non-PSCI, those of PSCI were more likely to have fiber connections with left prefrontal cortex and left deep structures (thalamus and basal ganglia). Disconnection score could predict the risk and severity of PSCI during cross-validation, and was independently associated with PSCI after controlling for all baseline covariates (odds ratio, 1.38 [95% CI, 1.17–1.64];
P
<0.001). Incorporating disconnection score into a reference model with 6 known predictors resulted in significant improvement in both discrimination and goodness-of-fit throughout cross-validation.

Conclusions:
A strategic structural disconnection pattern centered on left prefrontal cortex, thalamus, and basal ganglia is identified for global PSCI using indirect disconnectome analysis. The baseline disconnection score is independently predictive of PSCI and has significant incremental value to preexisting sociodemographic, clinical, and neuroimaging predictors.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
We provide a method to track the active prevalence of COVID-19 in real time, correcting for time-varying sample selection in symptom-based testing data and incomplete tracking of recovered cases and fatalities. Our method only requires publicly available data on positive testing rates in combination with one parameter, which we estimate based on a representative randomized sample of nearly 10,000 individuals tested in Utah in May and June 2020. We validate our method using external studies in Indiana in April 2020 and two counties in Utah in March 2021. In all three locations and times, our estimates of latent prevalence are within the 95 percent confidence intervals of prevalence estimates from randomized testing. Applying our method to all 50 states, we show that true prevalence is 2–3 times higher than publicly reported.
Factorial Designs, Model Selection, and (Incorrect) Inference in Randomized Experiments
Authors: Muralidharan Karthik , Romero Mauricio , Wüthrich Kaspar 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Factorial designs are widely used to study multiple treatments in one experiment. While t-tests using a fully-saturated “long” model provide valid inferences, “short” model t-tests (that ignore interactions) yield higher power if interactions are zero, but incorrect inferences otherwise. Of 27 factorial experiments published in top-5 journals (2007–2017), 19 use the short model. After including interactions, over half of their results lose significance. Based on recent econometric advances, we show that power improvements over the long model are possible. We provide practical guidance for the design of new experiments and the analysis of completed experiments.
Disastrous Discretion: Political Bias in Relief Allocation Varies Substantially with Disaster Severity
Authors: Schneider Stephan A. , Kunze Sven 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Allocation decisions are vulnerable to political influence, but it is unclear in which situations politicians use their discretionary power in a partisan manner. We analyze the allocation of presidential disaster declarations in the United States, exploiting the spatiotemporal randomness of all hurricane strikes from 1965-2018 along with changes in political alignment. We show that decisions are unbiased when disasters are either very strong or weak. Only after medium-intensity hurricanes do areas governed by presidents' co-partisans receive up to twice as many declarations. This hump-shaped political bias explains 8.3 percent of overall relief spending, totaling about USD 400 million per year.
Voice and Political Engagement: Evidence from a Field Experiment
Authors: Hager Anselm , Hensel Lukas , Roth Christopher , Stegmann Andreas 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We conduct a natural field experiment with a major European party to test whether giving party supporters more voice increases their engagement in the party's electoral campaign. In the experiment, the party asked a random subset of supporters for their opinions on the importance of different policy areas. Giving supporters opportunities to voice their opinions increases their engagement in the campaign as measured using behavioral data from the party's smartphone application. Survey data reveals that giving voice also increases other margins of campaign effort as well as perceived voice. Our evidence highlights the importance of voice for increasing political engagement.
Whence the Womb?
Authors: Abhau Jackson 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In John 7:38, Jesus makes the proclamation ποταµοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ ῥεύσουσιν ὕδατος ζῶντος. Among a variety of other issues—textual problems, ambiguous syntax, and an unclear scriptural referent—an enduring problem for translators has been the word κοιλία. Here, the author argues that the most natural meaning for κοιλία in this context is “womb.” Although governed by the masculine possessive pronoun αὐτοῦ, κοιλία’s most common NT meaning is “womb,” and a survey of Greek literature corroborates “womb” as a viable translation, and preferable to the alternatives in standard Bible translations (such as “heart,” “belly,” or “side”). Reading John 7:38’s κοιλία as “womb” is supported by the immediate context and literary background and sheds further light on the Gospel’s themes of rebirth.
Reading Late-Imperial Chinese Merchant Handbooks in Global and Micro-History
Authors: Gerritsen Anne 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In late imperial China, handbooks were key tools for merchants who negotiated the challenges of the land and water routes along which they traveled with their goods. Such handbooks provided invaluable information. The knowledge contained within such itineraries pertained to the minutiae of individual places, but it helped create and maintain the global connectedness of the late imperial empire. Porcelain and tea, produced in the inland provinces of southeast China, could be delivered safely to the port of Canton, and from there to consumers all over the world because these merchants had created, preserved, and transmitted this knowledge. The micro-global lens, thus, is a key tool for understanding such merchant handbooks: it makes it possible to see how micro-level knowledge sustained the agency of the merchants who shaped the global trading world surrounding Canton. Reading late-imperial merchant handbooks from Huizhou makes visible the connections between Huizhou and the wider world.
What Differences Make a Difference? Global History and Microanalysis Revisited
Authors: Trivellato Francesca 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This article discusses a number of scholarly trends that fall under the rubric of global history, with particular regard for those that address the early modern period (c.1400–1800). It stresses the rubric’s lack of coherence from both a methodological and ideological perspective. Most importantly, it revisits longstanding debates about the intersection of microanalysis and global history by assessing landmark works by Italian microhistorians, scholars of the so-called great divergence, and historians of climate and the environment. In so doing, it also asks how recent contributions build on insights that classic studies had already yielded – at least on the margins of the profession – beginning in the 1970s.
Localizing Globality in Early Capitalist Basel
Authors: Burghartz Susanna 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This paper seeks to locate globality in Basel’s urban society during the emergence of capitalism (1670–1780). It seeks to globalize patrimonial historiography and local history by “inverting the telescope” as micro-historians have suggested. It analyzes how the leading actors in a Swiss city situated on the borders of France and the Holy Roman Empire participated in the new capitalism and positioned their society within a new global geography increasingly shaped by an Atlantic beyond the empires. To do so, it asks how the city’s cosmopolitan elite bonded locally and acted globally in times of accelerated economic and social transformation. Exploring people who capitalized social, economic, and political borders deepens our understanding of the multi-layered process of early globalization and contributes to the new history of capitalism. The micro-global focus on Basel’s specific locality illuminates the conceptual potential for global history in the nexus between war capitalism and global capitalism.
Fetha Negest and the Existing Federal Laws of Ethiopia
Authors: Damtew Adane Mandie 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the contribution of Fetha Negest to the development of Ethiopia’s legal system and to evaluate the present judges’ appointment law of Ethiopia in line with indigenous sources. It focuses particularly on Fetha Negest, which had a significant impact on Ethiopia’s judicial system until the early 1940s. To this effect, the research for this paper discovered chapter 43 of the Fetha Negest and the federal judicial administration proclamation No. 1233/2021 through critical review. The paper thus finds that the current laws do not confirm Fetha Negest as their source and instead opt to transplant legal ideas from other countries. Due to this, the laws have been repeatedly amended and lack acceptance. Moreover, these transplanted laws face the issue of compatibility with the local culture. Legislators and concerned bodies should thus turn to indigenous sources before adopting external ideas.
The Territorial Principle as a Basis for State Criminal Jurisdiction: Particularly with Regard to Cross-Border Offences and Attempts, and to Multiple Parties to an Offence Acting in Different Countries
Authors: Payer Andrés 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to explore the scope of the territorial principle under (customary) international law, with a particular focus on cases of cross-border offences and attempts, and multiple parties to an offence acting in different countries. Our analysis will begin with an examination of the foundations and limits of state criminal jurisdiction and the territorial principle in general. In this context, we will also discuss the justification of this principle vis-à-vis other states and its relationship to other jurisdictional principles. In order to determine the pertinent contours of customary international law, we will use an approach that is both inductive and deductive, and, as such, involves the reporting on and analysis of relevant state practice.

Exclusion at the Heart of Empire: Punjabi Migrants in Buenos Aires and London Before the First World War
Authors: Bryce Benjamin 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This article charts the history of hundreds of Punjabi labourers who migrated to Argentina in 1912 and then onward to the United Kingdom. It argues that both worker agency and imperial concerns about mobility shaped this episode of migration and exclusion. Drawing from sources produced in Britain and Argentina, in English and Spanish, it shows how both workers and bureaucrats pursued competing goals, and how the ideas and activities of both groups mattered. It examines these migrant labourers’ voices and goals in Argentina and the United Kingdom. These Punjabi men repeatedly weighed their options and pursued opportunities for advancement, often taking advantage of their imperial subjecthood to do so. This research also shows how those strategies coexisted with the efforts of bureaucrats in Buenos Aires and London who sought to repatriate these migrants.
Radical Defence: The American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born and the Movement for Deportation Resistance and Immigrants’ Rights
Authors: Chen Michelle 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The American Committee for Protection of Foreign Born was a Communist-affiliated legal advocacy organisation that operated from the 1930s through to the 1970s, that witnessed several periods of ideological and social change in immigration policy and politics. As a radical campaign group, it developed as an outgrowth of the twentieth-century American left, and created a distinct platform devoted explicitly to defending the rights of immigrants. Using the courts, popular protest, policy advocacy and other innovative campaign strategies, the group and its regional affiliates, along with allied leftist organisations, pioneered a framework of constitutional rights and legal protections for the immigrants who were persecuted and threatened with deportation due to their links to the labour left. During the early Cold War, their work defending foreign-born radicals against deportation gradually expanded to include other immigrant communities, and to broach broader issues of civil and human rights.
GemThe Correspondence Between the German Socialist Joseph Bloch and the American Socialist Morris Hillquit on the Issue of International Labour Migration
Authors: Musters Daan 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In this contribution to the JMH’s series on ‘Gems’, the correspondence from 1908 between the German socialist Joseph Bloch and the American socialist Morris Hillquit on the issue of international labour migration is central. As both men were part of the international socialist community – at the time organised in the Second International (1889-1914) – the source provides an insight into how international migration was discussed within the Left in this period. Though officially, the Second International took in an ‘internationalist’ position on migration, the correspondence between Bloch and Hillquit demonstrates that there were also nativist currents present within the organisation. Furthermore, the source in exemplary for the broader international exchange of migration-related ideas taking place at the time, which contributed to the worldwide standardization of border practices.
Clusius, Ellebodius and Purkircher: A Cross-Section of Humanist-Naturalist Cultural Exchange Between Vienna and Pozsony
Authors: Orbán Áron 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Carolus Clusius (1526–1609) is primarily known as Europe’s most famous botanist in his time, but he pursued a wide range of activitites as an eminent member of the res publica litteraria. He had manyfold relations to Hungary; Clusius-scholarship has so far focused on his friendship with the aristocrat Boldizsár Batthyány, but in Vienna he also exchanged a number of letters with the two most important Pozsony humanists in the period: Nicasius Ellebodius, the excellent Grecist, also of Low Countries origin, and Georg Purkircher, city physician of Pozsony and author of a number of humanist works. Based on archival, literary and artistic sources, Clusius’ friendship to them, their encounters, and their common fields of interest can be well demonstrated. Beyond contributing to the biographies of these three men of letters, the mapping of these relations also provide a good cross-section of knowledge transfer within Central Europe at the end of the sixteenth century.
