Towards a reliable calculation of relic radiation from primordial gravitational waves
Authors: Giarè William , Forconi Matteo , Di Valentino Eleonora , Melchiorri Alessandro 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT
Inflationary gravitational waves, behaving as additional radiation in the Early Universe, can increase the effective number of relativistic species (Neff) by a further correction that depends on the integrated energy-density in gravitational waves over all scales. This effect is typically used to constrain (blue-tilted) models of inflation in light of the bounds resulting from the big bang nucleosynthesis. In this paper, we recompute this contribution, discussing some caveats of the state-of-the-art analyses. Through a parametric investigation, we first demonstrate that the calculation is dominated by the ultraviolet frequencies of the integral and therefore by the behaviour of the tensor spectrum on scales corresponding to modes that cross the horizon very close to the end of inflation, when the slow-roll dynamics breaks down and the production of gravitational waves becomes strongly model dependent. Motivated by these results, we realize a theoretical Monte Carlo and, working within the framework of the Effective Field Theory of inflation, we investigate the observable predictions of a very broad class of models. For each model, we solve a system of coupled differential equations whose solution completely specifies the evolution of the spectrum up to the end of inflation. We prove the calculation of $\Delta N_{\rm eff}^{\rm GW}$ to be remarkably model dependent and therefore conclude that accurate analyses are needed to infer reliable information on the inflationary Universe.
Tilted discs in six poorly studied cataclysmic variables
Authors: Stefanov Stefan Y , Stefanov Atanas K 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT
In this work, we search for negative superhumps (nSHs) in poorly studied cataclysmic variables using Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite data. We find three eclipsing binaries with nSH signatures: HBHA 4204−09, Gaia DR3 5931071148325476992, and SDSS J090113.51+144704.6. The last one exhibits IW And-like behaviour in archival Zwicky Transient Facility data, and appears to have shallow, grazing eclipses. In addition, we detect nSH signatures in two non-eclipsing systems: KQ Mon and Gaia DR3 4684361817175293440, by identifying the orbital period from the superorbital-dependent irradiation of the secondary. We discover nSH signatures in one more system, [PK2008] HalphaJ103959, by using an orbital period from another work. An improved mass ratio–nSH deficit relation q(ε−) is suggested by us, which agrees with independent measurements on nova-like variables. With this relation, we estimate the mass ratios of all systems in our sample, and determine the orbital inclinations for the three that are eclipsing. All systems with discovered nSHs in this work are excellent targets for follow-up spectroscopic studies.
The excitation of CO in CO-dominated cometary comae
Authors: Żółtowski M , Lique F , Loreau J , Faure A , Cordiner M 
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT
An abundance of CO significantly surpassing the abundance of H2O is observed in the comae of comets at large heliocentric distances. In these environments, CO molecules can be the most abundant species and they may be therefore the dominant projectiles inducing collisional excitation of the cometary molecules. It is thus of high interest to investigate the excitation of CO by CO. This article provides a new set of CO–CO collisional rate coefficients for temperatures up to 150 K and for CO rotational levels j1 up to 10. These data are obtained from quantum scattering calculations using the coupled states approximation. They are used in a simple radiative transfer model in order to test their impact on the excitation of cometary CO. Because mutual (de-)excitations of the target and projectile are important, the CO projectile was assumed to be thermalized at the kinetic temperature. We found that the non-local thermodynamical equilibrium regime extends for CO densities in the range 103–107 cm−3. We also observed that as soon as the CO/H2O ratio is larger than 70 per cent/30 per cent, the contribution of H2O collisions can be neglected. Similarly, the excitation of CO by CO may be ignored for relatively low CO/H2O density ratios (≤30 per cent/70 per cent). Finally, when the coma is a ∼50 per cent/50 per cent mixture of CO and H2O, the contribution of both colliders is similar and has to be considered.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT

Objectives
We aimed to investigate the vaccination coverage and the factors associated with non-vaccination for vaccine-preventable diseases among patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Methods
This single-centre, cross-sectional study was conducted in a 715-bed regional tertiary-care teaching hospital in Japan from 1 September to 30 November 2020. Vaccination status and the factors and reasons for not receiving the influenza vaccine, 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13), and varicella vaccine live (VVL) were investigated.

Results
Among 991 patients, the vaccination coverage for the influenza vaccine, PPSV23, PCV13, and VVL was 62%, 46%, 14%, and 3%, respectively. The most common reasons for vaccine hesitancy were efficacy concerns for the influenza vaccine, safety concerns for the PPSV23 and PCV13, and both efficacy and safety concerns for the VVL. Younger age, no use of biologics or other hospital visits, and public assistance were factors significantly associated with non-vaccination for the influenza vaccine; younger age, short disease duration, and no visits to other hospitals for PPSV23; younger age, no hospitalisation, more experienced doctor, and no medical immunodeficiency for PCV13.

Conclusions
We found that the factors associated with non-vaccination varied by vaccine type; therefore, vaccinations should be promoted with individualised strategies.

ABSTRACT
Living donation challenges the ethical principle of non-maleficence in that it exposes healthy persons to risks for the benefit of someone else. This makes safety, informed consent (IC) and education a priority. Living kidney donation has multiple benefits for the potential donor, but there are also several known short- and long-term risks. Although complete standardization of IC is likely to be unattainable, studies have emphasized the need for a standardized IC process to enable equitable educational and decision-making prospects for the prevention of inequities across transplant centers. Based on the Three-Talk Model of shared decision-making by Elwyn et al., we propose a model, named 3-Step (S) Model, where each step coincides with the three ideal timings of the process leading the living donor to the decision to pursue living donation: prior to the need for kidney replacement therapy (team talk); at the local nephrology unit or transplant center, with transplant clinicians and surgeons prior to evaluations start (option talk); and throughout evaluation, after having learned about the different aspects of donation, especially if there are second thoughts or doubts (decision talk). Based on the 3-S Model, to deliver conceptual and practical guidance to nephrologists and transplant clinicians, we provide recommendations for standardization of the timing, content, modalities for communicating risks and assessment of understanding prior to donation. The 3-S Model successfully allows an integration between standardization and individualization of IC, enabling a person-centered approach to potential donors. Studies will assess the effectiveness of the 3-S Model in kidney transplant clinical practice.

Abstract

Background
The lack of murine glioblastoma models that mimic the immunobiology of human disease has impeded basic and translational immunology research. We, therefore, developed murine glioblastoma stem cell lines derived from Nestin-CreERT2QkL/L; Trp53L/L; PtenL/L (QPP) mice driven by clinically relevant genetic mutations common in human glioblastoma. This study aims to determine the immune sensitivities of these QPP lines in immunocompetent hosts and their underlying mechanisms.

Methods
The differential responsiveness of QPP lines was assessed in the brain and flank in untreated, anti-PD-1, or anti-CTLA-4 treated mice. The impact of genomic landscape on the responsiveness of each tumor was measured through whole exome sequencing. The immune microenvironments of sensitive (QPP7) versus resistant (QPP8) lines were compared in the brain using flow cytometry. Drivers of flank sensitivity versus brain resistance were also measured for QPP8.

Results
QPP lines are syngeneic to C57BL/6J mice and demonstrate varied sensitivities to T cell immune checkpoint blockade ranging from curative responses to complete resistance. Infiltrating tumor immune analysis of QPP8 reveals improved T cell fitness and augmented effector-to-suppressor ratios when implanted subcutaneously (sensitive), which are absent on implantation in the brain (resistant). Upregulation of PD-L1 across the myeloid stroma acts to establish this state of immune privilege in the brain. In contrast, QPP7 responds to checkpoint immunotherapy even in the brain likely resulting from its elevated neoantigen burden.

Conclusions
These syngeneic QPP models of glioblastoma demonstrate clinically relevant profiles of immunotherapeutic sensitivity and potential utility for both mechanistic discovery and evaluation of immune therapies.
Confucianism and the Family
Authors: Moore Robert L. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Confucianism has been influential in shaping Chinese culture for over 2,000 years and has been particularly prominent in providing foundations for the family and the state. Classical texts, some dating to the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BCE), have been consulted by Chinese for millennia as sources instructing individuals on how to fulfill familial roles and how to organize key family rituals such as weddings and funerals. In the twentieth century, Confucian ideals were periodically attacked and were also inevitably influenced by new values introduced to Asia in response to colonialism and globalization. Confucianism nevertheless continues to be a prominent part of Chinese identity and is also significant in other Asian societies, particularly Korea, Vietnam, and Japan. In recent decades, the People’s Republic of China has promoted a Confucian revival as an element in a nationalistic ideology.
Confucianism as a Religion
Authors: Chen Yong 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The debate over whether Confucianism is a religion has been regarded as one of the most controversial issues in its scholarship. Its complexity highlights the perennial challenge of applying the Western concept of religion to the categorization of a Chinese tradition that is intrinsically defiant of generalizations derived from Western experiences. This article surveys the values and implications of the discourse on Confucian religiosity in both Chinese and Western contexts, examines the historical developments of the controversy in academic communities, and champions a methodological attitude that is accountable to a holistic and contextual approach to defining Confucianism in terms of religion.
Imperialism, Reform, and the End of Institutional Confucianism in the Late Qing
Authors: Chow Kai-wing 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The final decades of the Qing Dynasty saw profound transformations in ideologies and socio-political structures, of which a most momentous trend was the progressive decline of institutional Confucianism. Imperialist encroachment, rivalry between different hermeneutical traditions of Confucian Classics, and ongoing crises of internal decline and external challenges culminated in the demolition of Confucianism’s thousand-year-old institutional anchors—the civil service examination and the imperial monarchy. The successive disintegration of these institutions and the decline of Confucianism was facilitated by new print media, modern technologies of communication, and foreign producers of knowledge—missionaries—which changed the hierarchy of literary authority. Confucians gradually lost their authority in the field of cultural production and their institutional link to political power as missionaries became speakers for and bearers of Western knowledge of power. The intellectual endeavors of Wei Yuan, Yan Fu, Kang Youwei, and Zhang Binglin were emblematic of the Confucians’ attempts to wrestle with a wide array of issues concerning politics, religion, race, and nation amid the imminent but inexorable demise of institutional Confucianism.
Comments on Decentralization in Cameroon
Authors: Myerson Roger B. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Decentralization can be a driving force for development, democracy, and better government in Cameroon; but the recent decentralization reform seems unlikely to achieve its promise without some further reforms. It is suggested that the system for popular election of municipal councils should be changed to an open-list proportional representation system. Where higher officials of municipal and regional governments are indirectly elected by municipal councillors, the municipal councillors should also have power to recall and replace these officials. The powers of the centrally appointed prefects and governors should be limited to monitoring and advising their municipal and regional councils.
Drivers of Earnings Inequalities in Urban Cameroon
Authors: Zamo-Akono Christian , Song-Ntamack Simon Alain 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Labour income makes up a substantial share of households’ income in both developed and developing countries. This justifies the focus of this chapter on the analysis of the dynamics and extent of earnings inequality in urban areas in Cameroon. Using data from the National Institute of Statistics for 2001, 2005, 2010 and 2014, our results indicate that earnings inequality fell sharply between 2001 and 2010, and rose between 2010 and 2014, with persistent inequality at the upper tail of the distribution. We use the Recentered Influence Function regression to examine the impact of supply and demand factors on wage distribution and inequality indicators. Our results reveal that while secondary education is likely to reduce earnings inequality, higher education, job informality, and self-employment appear to be factors that increase inequality.
On the Way to Experience with the Phenomenological Venture of Management and Organization
Authors: Bancou Leo , de Vaujany François-Xavier , Pérezts Mar , Aroles Jeremy 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Phenomenology and phenomenological concepts have been part of Management and Organization Studies (MOS) since the discipline emerged. This chapter seeks to provide a comprehensive literature review of academic journals and to make visible the subtle but increasing presence of phenomenology within MOS. First, the chapter explores the relations between phenomenology and other theoretical streams—institutionalism and neo-institutionalism, pragmatism, process philosophy, and critical- and post-Marxist theories—in the context of MOS. Second, it focuses on the presence of phenomenology in key debates in organisational studies (embodied knowledge and learning, business ethics, spatiality and temporality of organizing, practice-based views, etc.). Lastly, this chapter outlines the realised and future potential contributions of phenomenology in exploring ongoing trends and practises in contemporary organisations, especially the move towards remote modes of working and decentered management. In that sense, issues of time, space, embodiment, and communalisation become fruitful avenues for phenomenological approaches in MOS.
Max Scheler’s Phenomenology of Personalism and Paradox
Authors: Tomkins Leah 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This chapter reflects on the contribution of Max Scheler (1874−1928), once considered one of the most brilliant phenomenological thinkers in Europe. The chapter focuses on the significance of values and feelings and the ways in which these work both for and against human togetherness. It explores three Schelerian themes: the phenomenon of ressentiment; the connection between exemplars and leaders; and the relationship between self and others. Using a paradox theory framing (i.e. an either/and relationship), I propose that Scheler’s ressentiment can reflect and create impotence in either leaders and followers, and involve feelings of either empowerment and incarceration. I explore his exemplarity as a paradox of either ‘is’ and ‘ought’, in which leaders and exemplars are either separate and interrelated. I also introduce Scheler’s highest form of togetherness, the Gesamtperson, to frame the dynamics of power where leaders are either the same and different to those whom they lead, based on an ethics which is either deeply personal and deeply together. I propose that Scheler offers valuable insights for the intersection of ‘pure’ phenomenological philosophy and the more ‘applied’ disciplines of organization and leadership studies.
Phenomenologies and Organization Studies
Authors: de Vaujany François-Xavier , Aroles Jeremy , Pérezts Mar 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Phenomenologies are a major stream of philosophy. Our aim with this Handbook is to explore critically and reflexively the plurality of phenomenologies and their becoming in the context of Management and Organization Studies (MOS). We detail in the introduction the genealogy of the phenomenological moment and make a distinction between four streams of phenomenologies: phenomenology as a phenomenological moment, post-phenomenologies, ante-phenomenologies, and non-phenomenologies. Beyond many clichés about phenomenologies, we argue that phenomenologies cultivate critical perspectives, ontologies, and even, for some of them, metaphysics that make them particularly interwoven with other philosophical traditions. We draw implications for MOS as a field.
Embodied Perception and the Schemed World
Authors: Ning Sun 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
It is now widely accepted that a mind that is saturated with bodily experience is necessary for the dual constitution of the self and the perceptual field, and that the deployment of perception is always associated with a double reafferent flow—a tactile flow and a proprioceptive flow. In this chapter, I will discuss this issue in a pragmatically orientated way (following John Dewey), with a possible rejoinder from the phenomenological tradition (specifically Merleau-Ponty). I will make cross-references between the thought of Merleau-Ponty and of Dewey, and I believe that many insights can be drawn from such comparison. By bringing pragmatic insights into the phenomenological context, I will place Dewey’s pragmatic way of thinking about the embodied mind in a different light. However, different though they may seem, I will further argue that there is a deep sympathy between the phenomenological and the pragmatic perspectives of these two thinkers, especially when we take Dewey’s existential ontology into consideration.
It’s All Method
Authors: Jørgensen Lydia 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The chapter introduces Hermann Schmitz’s neo-phenomenology to explore what phenomenology can offer to organization studies. Taking a methodological perspective, the chapter reflects phenomenology as also always about method due to the inherent ontological link, as noted by Heidegger. What we can know is intrinsically linked with how we know. The neo-phenomenological perspective contributes to acknowledging everyday phenomena, like atmospheres, which have become of increased interest in organization studies. Schmitz’s neo-phenomenology seeks to reclaim everyday experience as a valuable source of knowledge forming as an embodied attunement. Within his neo-phenomenological thinking Schmitz calls for phenomenological revision as method—building on exploration and continuous questioning. Further, by understanding phenomena as always seen in relation to something, Schmitz proposes poetic explication to account for fluid phenomena. As such the ontological condition of method is being addressed. Accordingly researching fluid (organizational) phenomena, like atmosphere, offers a way to rethink research accounts in performative ways moving beyond representation. The chapter seeks to illustrate and reflect upon how the neo-phenomenological approach can provide alternative ways to engage with relational phenomena in organization studies through the example of organizational atmospheres.
Organizing Research Excellence
Authors: Espinosa-Cristia Juan Felipe , Trujillo-Osorio Nicolás 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to describe our analysis of the organizational identity formation process at the Biomedical Neuroscience Institute (BNI) excellence research centre. We embrace an ethnomethodological methodology that was informed by a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach. Studying this case, we argue that the joint use of both approaches allows us to systematically explore a central aspect of organizational identity, namely, the relationship between the normative prescriptions of Centres of Excellence and the lived experiences of its members. Based on observations and conversations with members that participated in a set of activities developed by a new Culture and Communication (C&C) area of the centre, we describe how members’ moods, ‘disposedness’, and ‘openness’ are crucially related to the centre context. Furthermore, we found that those new spaces enacted by the C&C area configure a third party that encourages productive organizational practices for those who work in the centre. It is through the very encounter between the organization and the lived experiences of the members that identity formation processes come about, which are required both for the scientists to feel part of the centre and for the research institution to accomplish its mission.
Afterword
Authors: Tsoukas Haridimos 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this chapter, I attempt to show how phenomenology enables a richer (i.e. anti-dualist) account of organizational phenomena by enabling researchers to capture the logic of practice. By offering a more complex ontological understanding of agency (embodied, temporally structured, and embedded), phenomenologically informed organizational research enables us to see the multiple ways in which agents relate to the world. By according priority to being-in-the-world, as the primordial way of being, it offers a holistic ontological framework that focuses on relationality. By emphasizing enaction, it underlines the partly self-constitutive character of knowing through action. And by bringing out the non-successive character of temporality, it highlights the incessantly processual character of experience. I illustrate my account with examples from organizational research.
