The Three Ladies of London (ca. 1581): Re‐Reading Anxieties of Anglo‐Ottoman Exchanges Through Critical Race Theory
Authors: Öğütcü Murat 
Published: June 2023

AbstractRobert Wilson's The Three Ladies of London (ca. 1581) is the earliest extant Turk play that features one of the earliest instances of direct anxieties regarding Anglo‐Ottoman encounters. Contemporary with the 1580 Ahdname (capitulations), the play provides a local point‐of‐view of the newly established Anglo‐Ottoman commercial relations. We observe how seemingly overpriced Turkish goods, such as perfumes and jewels, metaphorically conquer the English market and pose a threat to local businesses. The play's multi‐national commercial exchange is marked by how the Italian intermediate cheats both his Ottoman suppliers and his English customers. The play is usually studied for its use of allegory, its references to the anti‐usury proclamations, how it stood apart from the staging history of Jews on the early modern English stage and how the positive attitude might have reflected the emerging Anglo‐Ottoman relations, which have been analysed as separate entities. Yet, there is a need to focus on how the intersections of race, gender, class and early modern performance practices overlap and conflict with each other in order to have a comprehensive view about the anxieties about dominance within the Anglo‐Ottoman context. Therefore, using a critical race theory framework this essay aims to analyse Wilson's The Three Ladies of London and re‐examine how the anxieties about Anglo‐Ottoman commercial and cultural exchanges were reflected on the early modern commercial stage.
Framing COVID‐19 as an existential threat predicts prejudice towards Chinese people via anxious arousal
Authors: Tabri Nassim , Hollingshead Samantha J. , Wohl Michael J. A. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWe tested the hypothesis that perceived existential threat stemming from COVID‐19 elicits anxious arousal, which can manifest in prejudice toward the perceived source of the threat (Chinese people). Americans (n = 474) were randomly assigned to a condition in which COVID‐19 was framed as a high existential threat to the United States or to a condition in which COVID‐19 was framed as a low existential threat to the United States. They then completed self‐report measures of anxious arousal as well as subtle and blatant prejudice towards Chinese people. As expected, participants in the high threat (vs. low threat) condition reported greater anxious arousal which, in turn, predicted greater subtle and blatant prejudice. The high threat (vs. low threat) condition also indirectly predicted greater subtle and blatant prejudice via greater anxious arousal. Results advance knowledge on the reactions people had to perceiving COVID‐19 as an existential threat during the early phase of the pandemic.

AbstractBackgroundPruritus due to allergic skin disease is one of the most common reasons for dermatological consultations in the veterinary clinic. Treatment is usually multimodal and requires continuous monitoring and reassessment. New therapies are needed to broaden the therapeutic arsenal.Hypothesis/ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel antagonist for allergic pododermatitis in dogs.AnimalsTwenty‐four client‐owned dogs with allergic pododermatitis.Materials and MethodsThe study was an open, prospective, multi‐centre clinical trial with client‐owned dogs. All dogs were treated twice daily with a spray containing hydroxymethoxyiodobenzyl glycolamide pelargonate for 28 days. Clinical assessments included pruritus Visual Analog Scale (PVAS), pedal skin lesion score, evaluation of quality of life (QoL), presence of secondary infections and a four‐point subjective efficacy assessment by the veterinarian and the dog owner.ResultsThere was more than 50% improvement in all scores by the conclusion of the study. Secondary infections were reduced (p < 0.001). Both the veterinarians and dog owners evaluated the efficacy of the product positively. The product was well‐tolerated.Conclusions and Clinical RelevanceThis study demonstrated the tolerability and efficacy of a TRPV1 antagonist on pruritic pododermatitis in 24 dogs.
Geometric bijections between spanning subgraphs and orientations of a graph
Authors: Ding Changxin 
Published: June 2023

AbstractLet be a connected finite graph. Backman, Baker, and Yuen have constructed a family of explicit and easy‐to‐describe bijections between spanning trees of and ‐compatible orientations, where the ‐compatible orientations are the representatives of equivalence classes of orientations up to cycle–cocycle reversal that are determined by a cycle signature and a cocycle signature . Their bijections are geometric because the construction comes from zonotopal subdivisions. In this paper, we extend the geometric bijections to subgraph‐orientation correspondences. Moreover, we extend the geometric constructions accordingly. Our proofs are combinatorial, which do not make use of the zonotopes. We also provide geometric proofs for partial results, which make use of zonotopal tiling, relate to Backman, Baker, and Yuen's method, and motivate our combinatorial constructions. Finally, we explain that the main results hold for regular matroids.

ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy and safety of ab interno canaloplasty (ABiC) with gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG).MethodThis randomised clinical trial recruited eyes with OAG and no previous incisional ocular surgery, among which 38 were randomised to ABiC and 39 to GATT. Follow-ups were performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. The primary outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP) and use of glaucoma medication at 12 months postoperatively. The secondary outcome measure was complete surgical success (not requiring glaucoma surgery, IOP ≤21 mm Hg and non-use of glaucoma medications).ResultsBoth groups had similar demographic and ocular characteristics. A total of 71 of the 77 subjects (92.2%) completed 12-month follow-up. At 12 months, mean IOP was 19.0±5.2 mm Hg in the ABiC group and 16.0±3.1 mm Hg in the GATT group (p=0.003). Overall, 57.2% of ABiC patients and 77.8% of GATT patients were medication free (p=0.06). The number of glaucoma medications was 0.9±1.3 in the ABiC group and 0.6±1.2 in the GATT group (p=0.27). The 12-month cumulative rate of complete surgical success was 56% in the ABiC group and 75% in the GATT group (p=0.09). Three eyes in the ABiC group and one eye in the GATT group required additional glaucoma surgery. Hyphema (87% vs 47%) and supraciliary effusion (92% vs 71%) were noted more often in the GATT group than in the ABiC group.ConclusionsThe preliminary result showed that GATT had an advantage over ABiC in IOP reduction for OAG patients, accompanied by favourable safety at 12-month postoperatively.Trial registration numberChiCTR1800016933.

ObjectiveTo quantify differences in number and timing of first primary cleft lip and palate (CLP) repair procedures during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic (1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021; 2020/2021) compared with the preceding year (1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020; 2019/2021).DesignNational observational study of administrative hospital data.SettingNational Health Service hospitals in England.Study populationChildren <5 years undergoing primary repair for an orofacial cleft Population Consensus and Surveys Classification of Interventions and Procedures-fourth revisions (OPCS-4) codes F031, F291).Main exposureProcedure date (2020/2021 vs 2019/2020).Main outcomesNumbers and timing (age in months) of first primary CLP procedures.Results1716 CLP primary repair procedures were included in the analysis. In 2020/2021, 774 CLP procedures were carried out compared with 942 in 2019/2020, a reduction of 17.8% (95% CI 9.5% to 25.4%). The reduction varied over time in 2020/2021, with no surgeries at all during the first 2 months (April and May 2020). Compared with 2019/2020, first primary lip repair procedures performed in 2020/2021 were delayed by 1.6 months on average (95% CI 0.9 to 2.2 months). Delays in primary palate repairs were smaller on average but varied across the nine geographical regions.ConclusionThere were significant reductions in the number and delays in timing of first primary CLP repair procedures in England during the first year of the pandemic, which may affect long-term outcomes.

BackgroundIt is well described that there is social inequality in the disease course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the impact of social relations is less explored. We aimed to investigate the impact of adult offspring and their educational level on readmission and death among older adults with COPD.MethodsIn total, 71 084 older adults born 1935–53 with COPD diagnosed at age ≥65 years in 2000–2018 were included. Multistate survival models were performed to estimate the impact of adult offspring (offspring (reference) vs no offspring) and their educational level (low, medium or high (reference)) on the transition intensities between three states: COPD diagnosis, readmission and all-cause death.ResultsDuring follow-up, 29 828 (42.0%) had a readmission and 18 504 (26.0%) died with or without readmission. Not having offspring was associated with higher hazards of death without readmission (HRwomen: 1.52 (95% CI: 1.39 to 1.67), HRmen: 1.29 (95% CI: 1.20 to 1.39)) and a higher hazard of death after readmission for women only (HRwomen: 1.19 (95% CI: 1.08 to 1.30). Having offspring with low educational level was associated with higher hazards of readmission (HRwomen: 1.12 (95% CI: 1.06 to 1.19)), (HRmen: 1.06 (95%CI: 1.002 to 1.12)), death without readmission (HRwomen: 1.24 (95% CI: 1.11 to 1.39)), HRmen: 1.16 (95% CI: 1.05 to 1.29) and death after readmission for men only (HRmen: 1.15 (95% CI: 1.05 to 1.25)). Having offspring with medium educational level was associated with a higher hazard of death without readmission for women (HRwomen: 1.11 (95% CI: 1.02 to 1.21)).ConclusionAdult offspring and their educational level were associated with higher risk of readmission and death among older adults with COPD.

Published: June 2023

Recent comprehensive systematic reviews indicate that females are at greater risk of musculoskeletal injuries (MSKi) than males in military populations. Considering the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) goal of increasing female representation in the next few years, exploring these trends is essential. We aimed to determine the association between biological sex and MSKi in the CAF. An online survey was conducted with active-duty and former CAF members aged 18–65 years. Sex disparities in MSKi (acute or repetitive strain [RSI]) were analyzed using bivariate associations and binary logistic regressions with significance level at p < 0.05. Analyses were stratified by military environment (i.e., Army, Navy, and Air Force). From the 1947 respondents whose biological sex was reported, 855 were females and 1092 were males. Rates of RSI sustained by females and males while serving were 76.2% and 70.5% ( p = 0.011), respectively, whereas 61.4% of females reported acute injuries compared to 63.7% of males ( p = 0.346). Females were more likely to report overall RSI (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.397; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.068–1.829), RSI having a greater impact on daily activities (aOR [95%CI]: 2.979 [2.093–4.239]) and greater impact on career progress/length (aOR [95%CI]: 1.448 [1.066–1.968]). Acute injuries, also more prevalent in females, were reported to have a greater impact on daily activities (aOR [95%CI]: 1.688 [1.198–2.379]). This study highlights sex disparities in MSKi prevalence and outcomes. Females within the CAF sample presented greater likelihood of reporting RSI, perceived impact of RSI on daily activities and career progress/length, and perceived impact of acute injuries on daily activities.
Acceleration of the Development of Microcirculation Embolism in the Brain due to Capillary Narrowing

BACKGROUND:
Cerebral microvascular obstruction is critically involved in recurrent stroke and decreased cerebral blood flow with age. The obstruction must occur in the capillary with a greater resistance to perfusion pressure through the microvascular networks. However, little is known about the relationship between capillary size and embolism formation. This study aimed to determine whether the capillary lumen space contributes to the development of microcirculation embolism.

METHODS:
To spatiotemporally manipulate capillary diameters in vivo, transgenic mice expressing the light-gated cation channel protein ChR2 (channelrhodopsin-2) in mural cells were used. The spatiotemporal changes in the regional cerebral blood flow in response to the photoactivation of ChR2 mural cells were first characterized using laser speckle flowgraphy. Capillary responses to optimized photostimulation were then examined in vivo using 2-photon microscopy. Finally, microcirculation embolism due to intravenously injected fluorescent microbeads was compared under conditions with or without photoactivation of ChR2 mural cells.

RESULTS:
Following transcranial photostimulation, the stimulation intensity-dependent decrease in cerebral blood flow centered at the irradiation was observed (14%–49% decreases relative to the baseline). The cerebrovascular response to photostimulation showed significant constriction of the cerebral arteries and capillaries but not of the veins. As a result of vasoconstriction, a temporal stall of red blood cell flow occurred in the capillaries of the venous sides. The 2-photon excitation of a single ChR2 pericyte demonstrated the partial shrinkage of capillaries (7% relative to the baseline) around the stimulated cell. With the intravenous injection of microbeads, the occurrence of microcirculation embolism was significantly enhanced (11% increases compared to the control) with photostimulation.

CONCLUSIONS:
Capillary narrowing increases the risk of developing microcirculation embolism in the venous sides of the cerebral capillaries.
Introduction to Notes for Wavelength
Authors: Turvey Malcolm 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Longtime readers of October hardly need reminding that artist Michael Snow, who passed away in January 2023 at the age of ninety-four, was of singular importance to our journal, and especially to one of our founding editors, Annette Michelson. Michelson's first article devoted exclusively to a North American filmmaker “of the independent persuasion” was about Snow and especially his film Wavelength (1967), and this film in many ways exemplified the advanced art of the late 1960s and ‘70s that October was founded, in part, to defend and champion: art that was perceived as analytic rather than expressive; that expanded its medium even while hyperbolizing its defining conventions; that foregrounded temporality and duration; and that prompted cognitive reflection on the viewer's part about their phenomenological experience of the work and its possible sociopolitical ramifications.1 (In retrospect, the film is also notable for its humor, which, while not addressed in much depth at the time, was partly informed by the Duchampian legacy of puns and wordplay, often involving the titles of works, that also influenced October and its early canon of artists. Humor was to remain a major, but underappreciated, feature of Snow's work.)
Snow first appeared in October in issue No. 4 (Autumn 1977), with his “Notes for Rameau's Nephew,” about his film Rameau's Nephew by Diderot (Thanx to Dennis Young) by Wilma Schoen (1974), his contribution to the so-called New Talkie of the 1970s.2 The same issue contained an article by critic Amy Taubin, who had acted in Wavelength, about an exhibition of Snow's photographs at MoMA.3 Almost two years later, Michelson published in these pages her second major text on Snow, “About Snow,” in which she revisited Wavelength, but this time through the lens of a more politicized and psychoanalytically inflected version of phenomenology, which she took from French film theorist Jean-Louis Baudry.4 Now, according to Michelson, the film affirms the spectator as “transcendental subject” by offering a “gratifying confirmation of a threatened sovereignty” to audiences, something that is even more true, Michelson argued, of Snow's film La région centrale (1970).5 Snow would feature in many subsequent essays published in the journal, including in a cluster of texts devoted to his work in issue No. 114 in 2005, among which was an interview with Snow conducted by Michelson about his work in music.6 He was also the subject of an October Files (No. 24) co-edited by Michelson and Kenneth White.

A Monochrome at Ukkusissaq: Pia Arke's Home-Rule Earthworks
Authors: Norman David W. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In 1988, the Greenlandic Inuk and Danish artist Pia Arke and her Danish partner, Michael Petersen, painted two monochrome squares: one atop a mountain overlooking the capital of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), another in central Copenhagen. The earthworks are anomalous to both artists' oeuvres, yet in this essay, I propose that their iterative structure and enigmatic form provide a lens through which to reassess the development of Arke's early career. In addition to establishing continuity between her views on painting and photography, and on both media's relations to land, the project's fragmented site-specificity evokes larger, representational challenges within the struggle for Inuit self-determination in Kalaallit Nunaat. Identical in material and scale yet marked by undeniable, site-specific differences, the earthworks prompt reflection on the increasingly opaque forms colonial power adopted in response to growing demands for Indigenous sovereignty. This essay, in turn, argues for understanding Arke's cultivation of opaque form in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a response to these political contradictions.
On Peter Weibel
Authors: Koerner Joseph Leo 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
He was always the youngest in the group. In 1966, the core participants in what he—with Valie Export—would later dub “Viennese Actionism” applied for government funding to attend the Destruction in Art Symposium in London. The group sent him, just twenty-two years old, to the ministry to argue their case. He remained their go-to spokesperson. On June 7, 1968, at the Kunst und Revolution event in Lecture Hall 1 of the University of Vienna, it was he who introduced the wild proceedings with an “Inflammatory Speech,” his raised right asbestos-gloved hand in flames. Ending quickly in a cry of pain—kerosene on his naked forearm caught fire—his oration, titled (after Lenin's pamphlet) “What Is to Be Done?: Burning Questions of Our Movement,” gave way to the more scandalous, though perhaps less cunning, actions of his older comrades. Otto Muehl, a “former middle- school teacher,” as one “memory protocol” described him, screamed obscenities while whipping a bandaged man until he bled. Gunter Brus, after undressing onstage, cut himself and (again the protocol) “masturbated for about 20 minutes” before shitting and pissing in the audience's direction. Oswald Wiener, his speech drowned out onstage by grunting, was falsely heard to say that the shitting should move from the lecture hall to St. Stephen's Cathedral, the city's holy of holies. Meanwhile he, the event's “inflammatory” opening speaker, was the only actual student to address the Austrian Socialist Students’ Union (the hapless host of Vienna's infamous “hot quarter-hour”), and he had come well equipped. He brought with him a water bucket to extinguish his burning glove and wore safety goggles to protect his eyes against flames and, as things turned out, against blood, excrement, and urine.
When he died this year, just four days short of his seventy-ninth birthday, Peter Weibel seemed perennially youthful. He had led the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe for almost a quarter century, indefinitely postponing his retirement by mounting art exhibitions—sometimes as many as seven in one year—that reshaped the definition of art exhibitions. It was Weibel, earlier and more consistently than anyone, who gave museological form to our posthuman, postmedium, anthropocenic condition. Sprawling, experimental, and provisory, these exhibitions yielded mighty catalogues: about surveillance, futurity, and digital art, about forgotten contemporaries (like Vilém Flusser) and emergent stars (Weibel was early in celebrating William Kentridge and Olafur Eliasson). Of these many shows, the four co-curated with Bruno Latour, who passed away five months before Weibel, were the most significant. Weibel and Latour called them Gedankenausstellungen (“thought exhibitions”). With challenging titles like “Making Things Public,” “Reset Modernity,” and “Critical Zones” and conceptual in what they displayed and how, they blurred the lines between science and art, gallery space and laboratory, aesthetic object and political debate while remaining fun to visit and popularly appealing.
