Context. An excess of galaxy–galaxy strong lensing (GGSL) in galaxy clusters compared to expectations from the Λ cold-dark-matter (CDM) cosmological model has recently been reported. Theoretical estimates of the GGSL probability are based on the analysis of numerical hydrodynamical simulations in ΛCDM cosmology.
Aims. We quantify the impact of the numerical resolution and active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback scheme adopted in cosmological simulations on the predicted GGSL probability, and determine if varying these simulation properties can alleviate the gap with observations.
Methods. We analyze cluster-size halos (M200 >  5 × 1014 M⊙) simulated with different mass and force resolutions and implementing several independent AGN feedback schemes. Our analysis focuses on galaxies with Einstein radii in the range 0.″5 ≤ θE ≤ 3″.
Results. We find that improving the mass resolution by factors of 10 and 25, while using the same galaxy formation model that includes AGN feedback, does not affect the GGSL probability. We find similar results regarding the choice of gravitational softening. On the contrary, adopting an AGN feedback scheme that is less efficient at suppressing gas cooling and star formation leads to an increase in the GGSL probability by a factor of between 3 and 6. However, we notice that such simulations form overly massive galaxies whose contribution to the lensing cross section would be significant but that their Einstein radii are too large to be consistent with the observations. The primary contributors to the observed GGSL cross sections are galaxies with smaller masses that are compact enough to become critical for lensing. The population with these required characteristics appears to be absent from simulations.
Conclusion. Based on these results, we reaffirm the tension between observations of GGSL and theoretical expectations in the framework of the ΛCDM cosmological model. The GGSL probability is sensitive to the galaxy formation model implemented in the simulations. Still, all the tested models have difficulty simultaneously reproducing the stellar mass function and the internal structure of galaxies.
Open Retroperitoneal Repair for Complex Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackground Open surgical repair (OSR) of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (CAAAs) can be challenging. We frequently utilize the retroperitoneal (RP) approach for such cases. We audited our outcomes with the aim of establishing the utility and safety of this approach.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed of all patients undergoing OSR of an unruptured CAAA via a RP approach in our center over a 7-year period. Data on repairs via a transperitoneal (TP) approach were collected to provide context. Demographic, operative, radiological, and biochemical data were collected. The primary outcome measure was 30-day/inpatient mortality. Secondary outcomes included the need for reoperation, incidence of postoperative chest infection, acute kidney injury (AKI) and length of stay (LOS). All patients received aortic clamping above at least one main renal artery.Results One hundred and three patients underwent OSR of an unruptured CAAA; 55 via a RP approach, 48 TP. The RP group demonstrated a more advanced pattern of disease with a larger median maximum diameter (65 vs. 61 mm, p= 0.013) and a more proximal extent. Consequently, the rate of supravisceral clamping was higher in RP repair (66 vs. 15%, p < 0.001). Despite this there were no differences in the observed early mortality (9.1 vs. 10%, NS); incidence of reoperation (10.9 vs. 12.5%, NS), chest infection (32.7 vs. 25%, NS), and AKI (52.7 vs. 45.8%, NS); or median LOS (10 vs. 12 days, NS) following RP and TP repair.Conclusion OSR of CAAAs carries significant 30-day mortality. In patients unsuitable for fenestrated endovascular aortic repair or those desiring a durable long-term solution, OSR can be performed through the RP or TP approach. This study has demonstrated that in our unit RP repair facilitates treatment of more advanced AAA utilizing complex proximal clamp zones with similar perioperative morbidity and mortality compared with TP cases utilizing more distal clamping.

Abstract
Background Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) remains a public health crisis. The epidemiology of COVID-19-associated large- and medium-sized-vessel pathology is not well characterized. The aim of this study is to identify patients with possible COVID-19-associated large- and medium-sized-vessel pathology based on computed tomography (CT) imaging to provide insight into this rare, but potentially devastating, cardiovascular manifestation.
Methods This is a single-center retrospective review of patients with CT chest, abdomen, and/or pelvis concerning for large- and medium-vessel pathology and confirmed COVID-19 infection from March 1, 2020 to October 31, 2020.
Results During the study period, 6,553 CT reports were reviewed and pertinent imaging was identified in 139 patients. Of these, 8 patients (median age: 59 years, range 51–82) were COVID-19 positive. All patients had preexisting cardiovascular risk factors and three (37.5%) had an autoimmune disease. Four patients were never hospitalized for COVID-19. Among these, two presented to the hospital at a median of 39 days (range: 27–50) after their initial COVID-19 test with chest and back pain where imaging revealed extensive aortic pathology. One patient required surgical management for aortic pathology. All other patients were treated with expectant management and outpatient follow-up.
Conclusion The clinical and radiological presentations of COVID-19-associated large- and medium-vessel pathology are heterogeneous and can be a late finding after COVID-19 recovery. Close clinical follow-up and surveillance imaging for large- and medium-sized-vessel pathology may be warranted in COVID-19 patients.
Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma Masquerading as an Expansile Osteolytic Lesion in Scapula: A Rare Case of Isolated Appendicular Skeletal Metastatic Involvement of Hepatocellular Carcinoma at Initial Presentation
Authors: John Arun Ravi , Dwivedi Surjeet , Varghese Jeenu , Walia Gurpreet Kaur 
Published: November 2022

AbstractHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is known to be the most common primary tumor of the liver and is also the fifth most common cancer in the world. Chronic hepatitis B and C along with type 2 diabetes mellitus and alcoholic liver disease are quite well-known risk factors for HCC, and it is uncommon in the noncirrhotic liver. HCC favors spreading as multifocal intrahepatic lesions and potential vascular invasion, and extrahepatic spread is uncommon. Skeletal metastasis from HCC occurs infrequently compared to other cancers and is common in the axial skeleton. Metastatic involvement of the appendicular skeleton is a rare entity, and the initial presentation of HCC as metastatic involvement of the appendicular skeleton is even rarer. We report a case of HCC with incidentally detected cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis B infection presenting with pain in the left shoulder.
Assessing need for primary care services: analysis of New Zealand Health Survey data
Authors: Hau Kenny , Cumming Jacqueline , Iruzun Lopez Maite , Jeffreys Mona , Senior Tessa , Crampton Peter 
Published: November 2022

Introduction The 2001 Primary Health Care Strategy provided significant new government funding for primary care (general practice and related services) via capitation funding formulas. However, there remain important unanswered questions about how capitation funding formulas should be redesigned to ensure equitable and sustainable service provision to all population groups. Aim To compare levels of chronic illness, utilisation, and unmet need in patients categorised as ‘high-need’ with those categorised as non-‘high-need’ using the definitions that are used in the current funding context, in order to inform primary care funding formula design. Methods Respondents of the New Zealand Health Survey (2018–19) were categorised into ‘high-need’ and non-‘high-need’, as defined in current funding formulas. We analysed: (i) presence, and number, of chronic diseases; (ii) self-reported primary care utilisation (previous 12 months); and (iii) self-reported unmet need for primary care (previous 12 months). Analyses used integrated survey weights to account for survey design. Results In total, 29% of respondents were ‘high-need’, of whom 50.2% reported one or more chronic conditions (vs 47.8% of non-‘high-need’ respondents). ‘High-need’ respondents were more likely than non-‘high-need’ respondents to: report three or more chronic conditions (14.4% vs 13.7%); visit a general practitioner more often (seven or more visits per year: 9.9% vs 6.6%); and report barriers to care. Discussion There is an urgent need for further quantification of the funding requirements of general practices serving high proportions of ‘high-need’ patients in order to ensure their viability, sustainability and the provision of quality of care.
Translation validity in metaphor theories
Authors: Zlatev Jordan , Moskaluk Kalina 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Evaluating competing metaphor theories against
each other implies the need for theory-independent criteria of
comparison. We propose translation validity,
the closeness in which theoretical constructs and
operationalizations match one another, to be such a criterion.
Applying this to Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and Deliberate
Metaphor Theory (DMT) we note that the translation validity of CMT
is low, given that its main constructs (“domain”, “cross-domain
mappings”) lack clear operationalizations. DMT fares better with a
procedure for distinguishing between deliberate and non-deliberate
metaphor, but we argue that it needs improvements in clarifying and
justifying its operationalizations. After summarizing the Motivation
& Sedimentation Model (MSM) of metaphor, we discuss its
translation validity in relation to two different studies, one on
metaphors for anxiety and stress in psychotherapy discourse, and the
other on pictorial and verbo-pictorial metaphors. We argue that
while the operationalizations in these studies differ, they both
show considerable correspondence to the constructs, and thus a high
degree of translation validity. Some weaknesses nevertheless show up
under scrutiny, suggesting ways to improve both the level of
translation validity and the higher of level construct
validity (mapping from phenomena to constructs) of the
model. In this process we anticipate a degree of convergence between
the DMT and MSM approaches.
Kinaesthetic embodied schemas in emotion language
Authors: Baicchi Annalisa 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This chapter explores how culture and cognition
intertwine in the conceptualisation of emotive meaning through the
analysis of emotive factive constructions (e.g. afraid of
spiders; furious at the angry words;
delighted over his behaviour). It aims to
identify the embodied schemas that motivate the close-knit unit of
emotion adjective and prepositional phrase in the English-Italian
language pair. The differences that occur in the combination between
the open-class of emotion adjectives and the closed-class of
prepositions in the two languages appear to be motivated by embodied
cognition, but also by typological features being in close
connection to cultural preferences. The dataset, compiled by
querying the
British
National Corpus
and the Italian
La Repubblica
Corpus
, shows that English gives prominent
role to the manner of experiencing emotions, while Italian
foregrounds the cause that prompts emotions. The hypothesis is put
forward that the different type of verbalisation may be correlated
with Talmy’s dichotomy between manner-framed and path-framed
languages.
Beyond the limits
Authors: Gordejuela Adriana 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Film flashbacks are rich multimodal devices that combine a stable pattern of retrospection with formal versatility that provides filmmakers with much space for being creative (Turim 1989; Gordejuela 2021). This chapter focuses on a particular kind of flashbacks where past and present are rendered simultaneously in two possible ways: either the past gets inserted into the present and is merged with it, or a character from the present appears as such in his or her own memories of the past. Through decompression of identity, these flashbacks simultaneously represent two different perspectives (viewpoint compression) and two separate moments in time (time compression) (cf. Dancygier 2012). The chapter illustrates the creative rendering of narrative time in a number of unconventional flashbacks.
The (limited) contribution of Catalan political science to Catalan sociolinguistics
Authors: Branchadell Albert 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This paper provides an assessment of the contribution of local political scientists to the study of the relationship between language and society in the Catalan-speaking area in the last 25 years. First, the contribution of local political scientists is quite modest in quantitative terms. As a matter of fact, it can be reduced to six people, two of whom are no longer active in the field. Second, this contribution is rather restricted in scope. Only in the areas of political theory and public policies has there been any noteworthy activity. Third, political scientists’ endeavours have had limited influence on the Catalan scholarly milieu and, more specifically, among sociolinguists, who clearly dominate the study of the relationship between language and society in the Catalan-speaking area.
The economics of language
Authors: Alarcón Alarcón Amado 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This article reviews the contributions made from the Catalan academia to the economy of the language. The economics of language comprises two subfields: (1) the study of the relationships between language and economic activity, and (2) the study of the social dimensions of language from the economic method in a strict sense. The production from the economy of the language in strict sense has few although original researches. Among the inquiries that have been made, stands out that is characterized by the emphasis on the value of the language itself, and not just in the exchange value of a given language. Also is remarkable the analysis of the economic and political competition between linguistic groups. In spite of the relevance of the problems dealt with, there has not been a specialization of researchers in the study of the relations between economy and language in the Catalan linguistic sphere. Lack of research brings us the problem that research is essentially replaced by untested dominant social representations about dimension of language speakers community as the only factor for market valuation and economic growth.
New speakers
Authors: Pujolar Cos Joan 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In this chapter, I argue for the relevance and productivity of research on “new speakers” in sociolinguistics. To this end, I discuss the historical relationships of sociolinguistics with other social sciences in terms of an ongoing adoption of concepts and methods from other disciplines. Accordingly, the concept of new speakers brings up the debates about subjectivity raised by the works of Foucault, Butler, Bhabha and other authors. I illustrate the argument by drawing on data that shows how different profiles of speakers relate to the languages of their repertoires in different ways, and how these different investments shed light on the Catalan sociolinguistic situation and on how it is experienced. I finally argue that attention to subjectivity can help connect sociolinguistics with the scholarly debates taking place around contemporary social movements such as feminism, anti-racism, the LGBT movement and environmentalism.
The kaleidoscopic universe of the sociolinguistics of variation in the Catalan language
Authors: Pradilla Cardona Miquel Àngel 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In the transition from autonomous linguistics, that is to say linguistics centred exclusively on the structural analysis of language, to a type of discipline with an inherent concern for the interaction between linguistics and socio-pragmatic variables, a good deal of proposals have been made, both theoretical and methodological.Without a doubt the sociolinguistic variation model is one of the most successful. This model has made it possible to advance in the social characterisation of language, as well as in the organisation and interpretation of linguistic diversity. This article deals with the various approaches that have been proposed within the field of Catalan variationist studies: from W. Labov’s orthodox proposals to the socialisation component in dialectal and geolinguistic approaches.
Revealing China’s diplomatic narratives of the Belt and Road Initiative
Authors: Jiang Yuan 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a well-acknowledged central economic and diplomatic policy of the Chinese
government, which was proposed by President Xi Jinping in 2013. By using content analysis and interviews, this paper analyzes
Chinese President Xi’s speeches from 2013 to 2020 about the BRI, as well as official statements of the Chinese central government.
It identifies at least five competing diplomatic narratives of the BRI. Different from repetitive literature that explores either
the economic or political implications of the BRI, this paper contributes by exploring the original story that the Chinese
government tries to tell the world. It concludes that initially, the narrative of the BRI has not been portrayed well from the
Chinese side.
Copula to negator
Authors: DeLancey Scott 
Published: November 2022

AbstractVan der Auwera & Vossen (2017)identify an intriguing shift from a copula to a negative marker in the Tibeto-Burman Kiranti group, and discuss it as a possible example of Jespersen’s Cycle. This paper traces a fuller history of the copula#ni, and presents an account of its association with negation, which is attested in several other Tibeto-Burman languages besides Kiranti. In most Tibeto-Burman languages the equational copula is “optional”, occurring in affirmative sentences only with a contrastive or emphatic sense. For this reason copulas often develop into sentence-final stance markers. Since negation is morphologically marked on verbs, a negated equational sentence requires an overt copula which can be negated. This paper presents data showing how this association of the presence of a copula with negation has resulted in the negative sense becoming associated with and, in a few cases, becoming the direct meaning of the erstwhile copula.
Multi-retranslation and cultural variation
Authors: Erlin Matt , Knox Douglas , Pentecost Stephen 
Published: November 2022

AbstractUsing English and Spanish translations of Franz Kafka’sDie Verwandlung‘The metamorphosis’ as a case study, this article contributes to current discussions of retranslation, and of cross-linguistic approaches to retranslation in particular. Building on the work of such scholars as Matthew Reynolds and Tom Cheesman, the analysis uses computational methods to evaluate variance among translators across a range of English and Spanish translations. The aim is twofold: first, to evaluate whether we can link translator variation to specific linguistic and rhetorical features in the original; and second, to determine whether those features are stable across languages.
A ‘Dynamic Kibble’ mass balance for the undergraduate physics teaching laboratory
Authors: Glover Paul , Milner Conor , Rambabu Ashwin , Varley Deborah 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Originally envisaged in 1975 to realise the SI unit of electrical current, the Ampere, the Kibble balance has since developed into a powerhouse of modern scientific measurement. By combining theoretical simplicity with precision of measurement, it has enabled the redefinition of Planck’s constant, and subsequently a practical method of defining the kilogram in terms of fundamental constants. This article introduces a novel version of this classic apparatus, the ‘Dynamic Kibble’ Balance. Dynamic in this case because the magnet velocity is now 3 orders of magnitude higher than the original, but the same theory applies. The apparatus is simple in approach, robust, easy to set up, and capable of a high level of precision using only electrical measurements (plus length and time). The importance of this measurement to metrology re-enforces the link between what is measured in the laboratory via calibration, measurement standards, and traceability. Using the apparatus and measurements described in this paper, the mass of the magnet assembly was measured as 19.4 ± 0.3 g, which lies within one SEM of the known value. This paper describes an uncomplicated method with a clear focus on the key physics and theory required. This experiment is intended for use in a first-year undergraduate physics laboratory. Further potential for both more advanced theory demonstration and experimental work is discussed.
Lagrange-mesh calculations of S-wave resonances in three-body atomic systems
Authors: Dohet-Eraly Jérémy , Servais Jean 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The Lagrange-mesh method is known to be an efficient tool for evaluating the bound states of various three-body atomic and molecular systems. By combining it with the complex scaling method, resonances can also be studied. In this paper, this approach is used for evaluating several S-wave resonances of the helium atom and of the negative positronium ion in vacuum and in Debye plasmas. In spite of its simplicity, the Lagrange-mesh method provides resonance energies and widths more accurate than the best literature results.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
In the past several years, the U3Si has been suggested as an alternative nuclear fuel for light water reactors due to its high uranium density and outstanding thermal conductivity. In order to gain fundamental insights into the behavior of fission products in U3Si, the trapping and migration behaviors of the fission products Xe and Cs in U3Si are investigated using density functional theory calculations in this work. Under U-rich and Si-rich conditions, both the Xe and Cs atoms prefer to substitute for Si and U atoms, respectively. Besides, both Xe and Cs tend to migrate through the vacancy-mechanism. It is noticeable that Xe diffuses faster and forms Xe bubbles more easily than Cs, which is mainly caused by the weaker interaction between Xe and its surrounding atoms.
