Abstract
As part of its data modernization initiative (DMI), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Cancer Prevention and Control is testing and implementing innovative solutions to improve cancer surveillance data quality and timeliness. We describe a consensus-based effort to create a framework to guide the evaluation of cancer surveillance modernization efforts by addressing specific context, processes, and costs related to cancer registration. We drew on prior theories, consulted with experts, and sought feedback from cancer registry staff. We developed the cancer surveillance systems, context, outcomes, and process evaluation (CS-SCOPE) framework to explain the ways in which cancer registry data quality, timeliness, and efficiency are impacted by external and internal contextual factors and interrelated process and content factors. The framework includes implementation measures to understand acceptability of process changes along with outcome measures to assess DMI initiation and ongoing sustainability. The framework’s components and structures can be tailored for use in other DMI evaluations.
Apparent annual survival of female eastern small-footed bats (Myotis leibii) roosting in Arkansas bridges
Authors: Sasse D Blake , Perry Roger W 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The Eastern Small-footed Bat (Myotis leibii) inhabits mountainous areas of the eastern United States and generally roosts in cliff faces and talus slopes. However, the difficulty of accessing these sites has limited research on this species. We studied survival rates of eastern small-footed bats by capturing bats roosting in crevices between sections of concrete guardrails on bridges in the Ozark mountains of northern Arkansas from 2014 to 2021. We accumulated 1,413 bat captures (1,050F; 363M) of 283 individual females and 198 individual males sampled over 8 years and determined apparent annual survival of female bats using Cormack–Jolly–Seber survival models. Only 1 of 30 bats tested positive for the presence of Pseduogymnoascus destructans, a fungus causing white-nose syndrome (WNS) which is responsible for significant declines in populations of some North American bat species, when all maternity colonies were sampled in the spring of 2019. Overall apparent annual survival of all females was 0.643, with first-year juvenile survival of 0.472 and adult (ages 1–6) survival of 0.744, approximately 58% greater than first-year survival. Apparent annual survival did not differ greatly among the sites or among years. We found no significant decline or increase in overall number of bats among all sites during the 8 years of study. Stability in both the number of bats encountered and their survival rates suggests that the impact of WNS on these colonies has been marginal.
Comparative bioactivity of S-methoprene and novel S-methobutene against mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae)

Abstract
Mosquitoes and mosquito-borne illnesses significantly impact public health and human well-being. To address this concern, environmentally compatible larvicides have become a critical component of integrated mosquito management. However, the number of available larvicides is at a historical low. Currently, larvicides that harness microbials and insect growth regulators account for most products. Screening of new active ingredients (AIs) or improvement of existing AIs is thus necessary to augment the capacity for mosquito control. S-methoprene possesses a similar molecular structure and identical function to mosquito juvenile hormone and has been one of the main targets for research and development. The efficacy and safety of S-methoprene have been well documented since the late 1960s, and numerous products have been commercialized to combat pests of economic importance. However, S-methoprene is vulnerable to environmental factors that lead to its degradation, which has created challenges in formulation development, particularly where extended efficacy is desired. A derivative of S-methoprene, namely S-methobutene, with molecular modification has become available. This derivative has demonstrated an enhanced activity of inhibition of emergence (IE) against species across the Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex genera at IE10, IE50, and IE90. Furthermore, S-methobutene consistently outperformed S-methoprene during a 120-day aging process against the southern house mosquito Cx. quinquefasciatus, where the IE% in S-methobutene was significantly higher than that in S-methoprene on most aging intervals. The former had significantly longer residual activity than the latter. The potential of S-methobutene for further development and application is discussed in consideration of its enhanced activity and stability.
A rare case of epiploic appendages infarction within an incisional hernia: a usual complain of unusual cause

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Epiploic appendagitis (EA) is an uncommon condition caused by infarction of epiploic appendages “small fat outpouchings present on the outside of the colon wall” because of torsion or thrombosis of the main draining vein. It is sometimes misdiagnosed as diverticulitis or appendicitis. Lab tests usually are normal, and the diagnosis is mainly by computerized tomography (CT) scan. Treatment is conservative as it is a self-limited condition, and the symptoms will resolve spontaneously within 2 weeks. However, surgical appendage removal could be necessary if symptoms increase or continue. Here, we report our experience with a 21-year-old male patient, who presented with a 1-day duration of localized right lower quadrant (RLQ) abdominal pain within 18*10 cm incisional hernia, imaging revealed signs of epiploic appendages infarction within the huge incisional hernia. This case describes an atypical scenario for EA, which was successfully managed with surgery. The final pathology report confirms the diagnosis.
Somatosensory Responses
Authors: Hari Riitta , Puce Aina 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter is devoted to task-related neurophysiology of the human somatosensory system from peripheral nerves to the cerebral cortex. After brief outlining of the history of this field, the discussion starts from compound action potentials and fields of peripheral nerves and continues with comparison and discussion of the complementarity of early MEG and EEG responses originating from the primary somatosensory cortex. The responses from the second somatosensory cortex to transient electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves at the wrist and ankle are described, especially illustrating analysis of their source locations, before turning to somatosensory steady-state responses. Considerable lowering of the noise floor of a single-channel magnetometer has allowed high-frequency 600-Hz oscillatory responses to be detected in single-trial recordings from primary somatosensory cortex. The chapter ends with a brief survey of responses related to acute pain and nociception.
A Poetics of Silence
Authors: Davidson Michael 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
One of the more venerable tropes in poetry is an appeal to silence. A poetics of silence attempts to reveal the space of that disparity in material form. But for persons who are deaf a poetics of silence resonates differently. ‘Silence’ and ‘sound’ are social values that mean one thing for hearing people and another for a deaf population that is often mischaracterized as living in a ‘silent’ world. By looking at poetry through a deaf optic, we may redistribute sensations around different modalities of sight, sound, and touch. This chapter considers such redistribution in the work of deaf and hearing artists. The examples discussed suggest a continuity of sensory loss—or more accurately sensory difference—as a theme in works that in redirecting the putative norms of sensation and knowledge provide an alternate perspective on what can be known.
Tasting With Words in Ben Okri’s The Famished Road and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun
Authors: Guignery Vanessa 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter interrogates Michel Serres’s claim that language is unable to convey what senses provoke in our bodies and examines the literary techniques employed by Ben Okri in The Famished Road and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie in Half of a Yellow Sun to give an apprehensible form to the sense of taste through words. While acknowledging the force of Serres’s position, the chapter draws on Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological approach and Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of the grotesque body to show how the two Nigerian novelists deploy such literary means as metaphor, accumulation, hyperbole, diction, or the use of sonorities to reproduce and comment on the bodily experience of taste or evoke its absence in times of war and deprivation. The chapter ultimately argues that the reader may approach what Merleau-Ponty calls a ‘quasi-sensation’ of taste through the consumption of words.
Bearing The Word
Authors: Stanbury Sarah 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
One of the most ubiquitous images in medieval illustration, the speech scroll or banderole is a touchable object. Even when annotating acts of speech, speech scrolls are likely to be pictured unspooling not from the speaker’s mouth, but rather the speaker’s hand. This chapter reflects on touch as multisensory language in the medieval banderole, exploring how the banderole, as a visual sign, conscripts touch to amplify and translate sound. In the so-called Carthusian Miscellany, BL MS Additional 37,049, banderoles make an exceptionally robust presence. This chapter examines some of the manuscript’s many images of banderoles to argue that the Miscellany repeatedly invokes touch as part of its ascetic sensorium, picturing prayer as an action reinforced by contact with parchment as skin, such that reading and praying in the eremitical wilderness become a bodily practice.
The PSPP Ruling and the Pandemic: A Move to Weak Review?
Authors: de Boer Nik 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Chapter 7 discusses the German Federal Constitutional Court’s (GFCC) judgment on the European Central Bank’s Public Sector Purchase Programme (PSPP) and its repercussions in the context of the EU’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. As the GFCC’s first ever ultra vires judgment, the PSPP ruling is a sign that the tension between the GFCC’s case law and the course of European integration has become increasingly untenable. Yet, despite this significant escalation, the chapter shows how the weak remedy left addressing the constitutional concern to Germany’s elected politicians. Such weak review lets national constitutional courts signal constitutional problems, but leaves their resolution to the political branches, which is welcome from a democratic perspective. In addition, and unlike during the euro crisis, elected politicians openly criticized the GFCC’s case law. Still, the GFCC’s case law continues to influence the development of European integration, visible in the legal design of Next Generation EU.

Time and exchangespace
Authors: Seddon Toby 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In the second of two theory-oriented chapters, this chapter explores the question of how we should theorise and understand regulatory trajectories over time. After the introduction, the first section explores some of the main theoretical contributions in this area, drawing out key ideas of network structures, path dependence, and nodes. The second section connects these ideas to create a toolkit of intellectual resources for thinking about regulatory change. The third section then applies this toolkit to a couple of illustrative examples of drug policy initiatives, in order to show how it can open up new insights. In conclusion, the chapter links to the next part of the book which examines historical trajectories at the origin of drug prohibition.
China and the Opium Wars
Authors: Seddon Toby 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In the first of two historical chapters, this chapter focuses on the deep roots of drug prohibition in the nineteenth-century Opium Wars fought between China and Britain. It begins by reviewing recent work in global history which argues for a recentring of Asia and the East in the long history of the world, and illustrates how this might help make sense of the long historical trajectories of human engagement with psychoactive plants. The main section of the chapter provides a detailed analysis of the historiographical literature on the Opium Wars, showing how this illuminates the initial conditions from which global drug prohibition would emerge at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Conclusion
Authors: Seddon Toby 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In this short concluding chapter, the central thesis of the book is summarised, arguing that its theoretical, historical, and political reappraisal of the ‘drug question’ constitutes a paradigm shift in how we understand the drug problem and in how we see and frame the challenge of drug law reform. It describes some implications of this paradigm shift for future research and policy, concluding that in rethinking drug control we will need to understand reform as a decolonising project in which China and Asia must be recentred. It ends by restating the centrality of regulatory theory to this intellectual and reform project.
Financialization and Local Statecraft
Authors: Pike Andy 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The UK government reduced expenditure and introduced local financial self-sufficiency in pursuing austerity after the 2008 crash, forcing local governments in England to find savings and new income sources to close funding gaps. As new financial strategies and practices were devised, ‘councillors at the casino’ were characterized taking risks with local taxpayers’ money and jeopardizing local public service provision. Beyond the high-profile cases in an internationally resonant local public sector reform laboratory, Financialization and Local Statecraft examines the wider landscape across local government in England since 2010: a local tier of over 300 governments, managing £100 billion of revenue expenditure, and employing almost 1.5 million providing services to over 56 million people across the country. Underpinned by local statehood attributes, a new local statecraft theory explains how local statecrafters act in realms including financial strategies and risks, external advice, borrowing and debt management, and in-area and out-of-area activities. The framework reveals and accounts for their vanguard, intermediate, and long-tail approaches with differing engagements with financialization. While limited within the overall landscape, such relations and UK government policy are rewiring and rescaling local statecraft and relocating risks and uncertainties onto local government and the wider local state. UK government policy and the extension and intensification of financialization expose the local state’s financial sustainability and resilience in the longer term. They raise fundamental questions about what local government is for and how it should be funded. Erosion of local accountability of local statecraft in financialization risks a depoliticized and post-democratic local governance.
Wrongs, Harms, and Compensation
Authors: Slavny Adam 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This book departs from the interpretivist methodology that has dominated non-instrumentalist private law theory, arguing that the justification of tort law is dependent on our underlying moral corrective duties. It then develops a pluralistic account of these duties, which encompasses both wrongful and non-wrongful conduct, complicating the view that torts should be regarded as a coherent set of wrongs. It also places the practice of enforcing corrective duties in a broader context, finding that it should not be isolated or immune to critiques based on distributive justice, and that our duties are in fact consistent with institutional arrangements other than tort law, including various types of compensation schemes. What emerges is neither a wholesale defence of nor attack on tort law, but an insistence that its normative foundations are much more complex, diverse, and malleable than a focus on current legal practices would suggest.
Corrective and Distributive Justice
Authors: Slavny Adam 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the relationship between corrective and distributive justice. It finds that there is no straightforward generalization to be made about the priority or independence of the two spheres of justice. In some respects, corrective justice has priority, in others distributive justice has priority, and in others there is parity. This mixed picture should bring no comfort to tort apologists. Although corrective duties are not reducible to deviations from distributive justice or always overridden by them, interference effects between the two spheres present systemic problems for justifying the practice of corrective justice in an unjust world.
Weakness of the Will
Authors: Heinzelmann Nora 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis chapter introduces basic conceptions and questions from the philosophical literature on weakness of the will to readers not familiar with them. It starts with a detailed explanation of core concepts (‘agent’, ‘action’, ‘judgement’, ‘intention’) as they feature in conceptual analyses of weakness of the will. The chapter then roughly characterises weakness of will as a failure by the weak-willed person’s own standards and shows how it accounts for three core features of weakness of the will: it is puzzling, it involves a conflict, and it is typically regarded as a defect.
Discounting
Authors: Heinzelmann Nora 
Published: August 2023

AbstractDiscounting models can account for preference reversals within an economic framework of human agency. This chapter explains discounting theories to a readership not familiar with the econometric or empirical literature. It also qualifies common misunderstandings, such as the claim that exponential models do not allow for preference reversals but hyperbolic models do. The chapter also discusses limitations of orthodox discounting models. For one thing, not all cases of weakness of will involve preference reversals, and even those that do cannot always be accounted for by discounting theory. For instance, they cannot describe weak-willed behaviour in so-called marshmallow cases. The chapter concludes that there is substantial overlap between discounting models and accounts of weakness of will (weak-willed delay discounting), although the two conceptions do not have the same scope.
Introduction
Authors: Ellis Steven J. R. , Emmerson Allison L. C. , Dicus Kevin D. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to the volume, outlining the overarching aims of the Pompeii Archaeological Research Project: Porta Stabia (PARP:PS), as well as the primary questions that the project sought to answer. The research focused on ten independent properties across two insulae (VIII.7 and I.1), which comprised shops, workshops, and modest residential and hospitality oriented spaces, with the aim of recording the full sequence of natural and historic development in the area, from identifying the order of geological events, to charting the sequence of human activities both predating and postdating the construction of the standing properties. The central research questions are grouped into broader categories: for example, the project explored a range of questions about the social and structural making of the city. Additional discussion contextualizes the results, both in terms of micro (taphonomic and site-formation processes) and macro context (broader social and economic frameworks through which to read the results).
Methodology
Authors: Ellis Steven J. R. , Emmerson Allison L. C. , Dicus Kevin D. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The project’s methods for excavation and recording—laid out in this chapter—were shaped by the research questions on the social, structural, and contextual making of the Porta Stabia neighborhood. The excavation followed the “single-context” method, identifying stratigraphic units (SUs) that represented isolated activities in the past, then removing them in reverse-chronological order. The chronological relationships of SUs were represented with Harris Matrices for each of the forty-one trenches, which were linked via a sitewide Harris Matrix that included the entire excavation and tied absolute dates to relative phases. Areas of the site not subject to excavation were incorporated through the non-invasive methods of architectural and geophysical analysis. Although the project began with traditional recording on paper, it eventually transitioned to a paperless workflow using tablet computers. These methods were designed to best contextualize and interpret the data derived from large-scale excavation of a complex and rapidly changing city.
The History of Excavation and Research Activity in Insulae VIII.7 and I.1
Authors: Spinelli Ambra , Scorziello Aimée 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The history of systematic exploration in the area of the Porta Stabia spans over a century; therefore the project incorporated a detailed examination of the zone’s complex archival dataset. This chapter describes past work at the Porta Stabia; outlines the methods by which the archival team located, accessed, and studied the records of that work; and provides an analysis of the corpus of finds, inscriptions, and paintings uncovered in the earliest excavations. “Excavating the archive” allowed the team to incorporate what can be known of the neighborhood at the time of the eruption in 79 ce with the earlier phases uncovered in the course of the subsurface excavation.
The Architecture of the Porta Stabia Neighborhood
Authors: Poehler Eric E. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The architectural survey included all structures in Insulae VIII.7 and I.1, examining building materials, construction styles, and most importantly, the stratigraphic relationships of the architecture reconstruct the structural history of the neighborhood. This method moves away from traditional architectural analysis, which has relied primarily on wall typologies, to privilege instead the stratigraphy of construction, destruction, reconstruction, and repair events. By breaking down walls into their smallest constituent parts before recombining them in their relative sequence, the survey built a relative chronology of architecture that was tied to the absolute chronology of the subsurface excavation through the excavated trenches that incorporated walls. This chapter lays out the methodology of the architectural survey, describes the standing buildings of 79 ce, and provides an overview of their final architectures as well as their development through time.
