description: INTRODUCTION To date, cataract is still the commonest cause of preventable blindness (39.0%) in Malaysia. Consequently, cataract surgery is the most cost and outcome effective method in reducing the number of blindness in the world. The purpose of this study is to analyse the trend of patient profile who had undergone cataract surgery at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan, Pahang. This allows us to review the changes in cataract patient demographics, and can be used as a tool for improving cataract surgery services in the future. METHODS Descriptive retrospective study. Data of patient that has undergone cataract surgery from 2010 to 2020 were collected and reviewed from the Malaysian Cataract Surgery Registry, a MOH initiated registry . Data includes demography of the patients, systemic comorbidities, type of cataract and pre-operative visual acuity. RESULTS & DISCUSSION A total of 10212 cataract surgeries were performed from 2010-2020. 50.14% were women, with mean age of 64.8 years. Hypertension ranked highest in systemic comorbidity (64.37%) followed by diabetes mellitus (46.11%). A large proportion of patients presented with senile cataract (95.68%). The majority of patients came with unaided pre-operative visual acuity,VA, worse than 6/12 (96.15%). Patient presenting with VA 6/18-3/60 (early to moderate visual impairment) increased from 40% in 2010 to 50% in 2020 with highest recorded in 2016 (54%), whereas those presenting with VA worse than 3/60 (severe visual impairment) exhibited a reducing trend in 2020 (47.70%) compared to in 2010 (54.80%). It is noted that the number of patients with VA worse than 3/60 exceeded patients with VA 6/18-3/60, before it was surpassed later on in 2015. CONCLUSION The most prominent change in patient profile was the decreased percentage of patients presenting with VA worse than 3/60. This reflects the possibility of a more accessible health care and higher awareness in seeking early medical attention amongst the people of Kuantan and its nearby districts. A total of 47% of patients had pre-operative VA of worse than 3/60. This signified a backlog of dense and mature cataract cases which required medical intervention, and the dire need to increase and broaden the cataract surgery services to the patients in Kuantan. Age wise, patients were younger compared to developed countries. In this subgroup, hypertension and diabetes mellitus make up the largest proportion. This may explain the earlier onset of cataract due to the known effect of DM on hastening cataract development. An early and extensive cataract screening within the population, particularly with significant comorbidities, is both essential and beneficial in order to effectively prevent cataract blindness.

description: L’articolo rappresenta il ruolo della poesia nella costruzione del discorso della propria epoca. Partendo dalle riflessioni sull’impostazione dell’opera di Umberto Saba, le analisi passano al quadro del contemporaneo, focalizzandosi sulla poesia di Milo De Angelis. Il saggio traccia alcune peculiarità, come il rapporto degli autori con le loro città d’origine. Di fronte alle esigenze del tempo del pensiero debole, teorizzato da Gianni Vattimo, la produzione artistica risulta dover entrare nel rapporto dialogico con la memoria. Tale approccio, analizzato attraverso le idee di Friedrich Nietzsche, viene ritrovato nella poesia deangelisiana che si mostra conseguentemente come possibile strumento del discorso contemporaneo.

description: Martian atmospheric neon (Ne) has been detected by Viking and also found as trapped gas in Martian meteorites, though its abundance and isotopic composition have not been well determined. Because the timescale of Ne loss via atmospheric escape estimated from recent measurements with MAVEN is short (0.6--1 $\times$ 10$^8$ years), the abundance and isotope composition of Martian atmospheric Ne reflect recent atmospheric gas supply mostly from volcanic degassing. Thus, it can serve as a probe for the volatile content of the interior. Here we show that the tentatively-informed atmospheric Ne abundance suggests recent active volcanism and the mantle being richer in Ne than Earth's mantle today by more than a factor of 5--80. The estimated mantle Ne abundance requires efficient solar nebular gas capture or accretion of Ne-rich materials such as solar-wind-implanted dust in the planet formation stage, both of which provide important constraints on the abundance of other volatile elements in the interior and the accretion history of Mars. More precise determination of atmospheric Ne abundance and isotopic composition by in situ analysis or Mars sample return is crucial for distinguishing the possible origins of Ne.

Siding with Things or Parting with Things? The Ambiguities of Francis Ponge’s Prose Poems in Selected Polish and English Translations
Creators: name: Sowiński, Bartosz
Publisher: name: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach
Year: 2022

description: The basic controversy of Ponge’s prose poems is whether they are the expression of things in themselves or mere linguistic games with no anchoring in the world. This controversy may be indicative of a feature that is fundamental to Ponge’s writing, namely, ambiguity. In the paper I will examine whether the ambiguity inherent in Ponge’s carefully crafted literary explorations is something (in)expressible beyond French. Ponge often heightens the impression of ambiguity with puns and false etymologies which, in some cases at least, find their direct equivalents in the English lexicon. Polish translators have no such vocabulary at hand that would easily mirror French or English intricate etymologies and pseudo-etymologies. I am discussing in detail three Polish translations from Ponge: Chleb by Kozak, Ślimaki by Gondowicz, and Skrzynka by Wasilewska & Kurek. English translations were used as a backdrop for presenting the challenges of translating Ponge into Polish. The issue at stake in these three Polish translation projects is whether Ponge in Polish is able to transcend the solipsistic cognitive bubble and bridge the gap between language and the world, the subject and the object, or the human and the thing.

description: The mathematical equations describing transient heat transfer between the fluid flowing through a fixed bed and a moving bed of packing were formulated. The resistance to heat transfer within the packing due to its finite thermal conductivity was taken into account. An approximate integral method was applied to obtain an analytical solution to transient response of the bed packing. Results for two cases of fixed and moving bed were obtained. The validity of the approximate method was checked against the more exact method employed by Handley and Heggs who obtained the results for a fixed bed of packing with a step change in fluid inlet temperature. It was concluded that the approximate method gives results that agree well with the more exact methods. The method considered here provides a quick determination of the packing mean temperature in order to obtain the effectiveness. The other peculiarity of this method is that the effect of packing thermal conductivity can be examined very quickly since the solution is in analytical form. The analysis of the results revealed that as the thermal conductivity of the packing decreases the difference between its surface and mean temperature increases. A series of charts showing the comparison between the packing surface and mean temperatures for different thermal conductivities are presented. The approximate method was a moving bed of packing. It was packing thermal conductivity is series of charts representing versus dimensionless length conductivities are presented. then applied to the case of concluded that the effect of more severe than expected.

description: Virtual Surgery Planning (VSP) and 3D printed surgical template is an accurate method of surgical correction of dentofacial skeleton deformities. Traditional methods dictated that pre-operative measurement taken from scans prior to intra-operative bony removal. To achieve good symmetry and outcome, it requires surgeon’s experience and consumed a lot of surgical time. With the advancement of computer-aided surgery, VSP and 3D printed surgical template have gained foothold in oral and craniomaxillofacial surgery. The purpose of this report is to highlight the advantages of VSP and 3D printed surgical template in term of accuracy, decrease surgical time and reduce risk of complications. We presented a case of 21 years old male Malay, unknown medical illness, was referred to OMFS clinic with complaint of unhappiness with his facial vertical dimension for almost 5 years. Clinically, he presented with Class III facial skeleton with bilateral buccal and lingual bony expansion of mandible. Intraorally, patient having class III malocclusion, generalized spacing, multiple retained deciduous and missing teeth. CT scans reported with prominence of bilateral zygoma, narrowing of nasal aperture and bony expansion of bilateral lower border of mandible. 3D images of patient were then obtained, applied and superimposed to the normal facial bone retrieved from CT Bank Data. Excess bone identified and 3D printed surgical guide fabricated. Intra-operatively, 3D printed surgical template was applied as a guide during surgical osteotomy and mandibuloplasty. Post-operative findings noted significant improvement on vertical dimensions and facial symmetry. In conclusion, VSP and 3D printed surgical template does improve on accuracy, decrease surgical time and reduce risk of complications.

In such realizations, the matter multiplets arise from "twisted" strings connecting different stacks of branes. The introduction of Euclidean 5-branes wrapped on the six-dimensional compact space leads to instanton effects. We examine the interplay between the annuli diagrams with an E5 boundary and the holomorphicity properties of the effective low-energy supergravity action which describes the system, including its instanton corrections.

description: Swift J1818.0-1607 discovered in early 2020 is not only the fifth magnetar known with periodic radio pulsations but also the fastest rotating one. Simultaneous 2.25 and 8.60 GHz observations of Swift J1818.0-1607 were carried out with Shanghai Tian Ma Radio Telescope (TMRT) from MJD 58936 to 59092. The spin-frequency $ν$ and first-order derivative $\dotν$ of this magnetar were obtained with piecewise fitting method because of its instable timing properties. We found that the amplitude of short-term $\dotν$ fluctuations decreased with time, and the long-term declining trend of $ν$ discovered previously continued in our observations. The best fitted long-term $\dotν$ were about $-2.25 \times 10^{-11}~s^{-2}$ using our observation data spanning 156 days. The derived characteristic age was about 522 yr, supporting the recent viewpoint that this magnetar may be older than initially thought shortly after its discovery. The flux density of this magnetar was increased at both 2.25 and 8.60 GHz during our observations, and its radio spectrum became flatter at the same time. We also detected bright-quiet type emission mode switching in Swift J1818.0-1607.

description: Deception technology has proven to be a sound approach against threats to information systems. Aside from well-established honeypots, decoy elements, also known as honeytokens, are an excellent method to address various types of threats. Decoy elements are causing distraction and uncertainty to an attacker and help detecting malicious activity. Deception is meant to be complementing firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Particularly insider threats may be mitigated with deception methods. While current approaches consider the use of multiple decoy elements as well as context-sensitivity, they do not sufficiently describe a relationship between individual elements. In this work, inter-referencing decoy elements are introduced as a plausible extension to existing deception frameworks, leading attackers along a path of decoy elements. A theoretical foundation is introduced, as well as a stochastic model and a reference implementation. It was found that the proposed system is suitable to enhance current decoy frameworks by adding a further dimension of inter-connectivity and therefore improve intrusion detection and prevention.

description: INTRODUCTION Elderly diabetic patients are increasing in number worldwide due to improvement in healthcare services provided by most countries. In fact, Malaysia is evolving towards geriatric population predominant country in 2030 in which a lot of health aspects surrounding geriatrics need to be taken care of from now. Diabetes comes with morbidities and complications in which quality of life of geriatric patients should be measured and the associated factors should be determined. METHODS A cross sectional study was conducted among 269 elderly diabetic patients from all government health clinics within district of Kuantan. Their sociodemographic data were recorded and level of quality of life was measured using validated Diabetes Quality of Life Instrument (DQoL). Non-parametric tests namely Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis tests were used to identify the association between domains of quality of life and variables. The predictors were identified via logistic regression analysis. RESULTS & DISCUSSION Majority of patients were female (61%), had at least primary level of education (52%) with financial income falls within B40 groups (97.4%). Majority of the clinic were located in rural area (61.3%), without presence of Family Medicine Specialist (77.7%), mostly managed by medical officers and diabetic educators only (55.8%) without any tertiary care (72.5%). Surprisingly, majority of patients had uncontrolled diabetes (71.7%), uncontrolled blood pressure readings (63.2%), uncontrolled lipid levels (74.2%) and abnormal abdominal circumferences (84.8%). Clinic location, diabetes control status and the geriatric age were statistically significant for predicting patients’ diabetes quality of life. CONCLUSION This study proved that geriatric patients had better quality of life by lowering further the HbA1c target despite misconception of high likelihood of complications among elderly. Social support and financial status of patients determined the level of quality of life in elderly that should be incorporated as parameters that should be enquire during each geriatric visits. Rather than looking at patient and environmental factors only, this study also revealed that each clinic had their own unique management strategy. Those that lead by family medicine specialist and other major supporting staff which usually present in central city provided the best level of quality of life towards patients. Therefore, more primary care physician and local management strategy should be produced.

description: Highly efficient terahertz (THz) wave sources based on difference frequency generation (DFG) process in nonlinear optical crystals play an important role for the applications of THz wave. In order to find more novel nonlinear crystals, here we theoretically investigate the generation of THz wave using the isomorphs of periodically poled $\mathrm{KTiOPO_4}$ (PPKTP), including periodically poled RTP, KTA, RTA and CTA. By solving the cascaded difference frequency coupled wave equations, it is found that the intensities of the THz wave generated from the cascaded difference frequency processes are improved by 5.27, 2.87, 2.82, 3.03, and 2.76 times from the non-cascaded cases for KTP, RTP, KTA, RTA and CTA, respectively. The effects of the crystal absorption, the phase mismatch and the pump intensity are also analyzed in detail. This study might help to provide a stronger THz radiation source based on the nonlinear crystals.

Binary relations in the deconstruction of ancestral tradition – An analysis of excerpts from Pajtim Statovci’s novel My Cat Yugoslavia
Creators: name: Bator, Ewelina
Publisher: name: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach
Year: 2022

description: The purpose of this article is to explore the binary relationships found in the novel My Cat Yugoslavia by the Finnish Albanian writer Pajtim Statovci. The theoretical background to the discussion is the previous research on deconstruction in literature, particularly Jacques Derrida’s theory of the supplement. I construct a research tool based on the assumptions of Derrida’s theory and the polemical exchange with Derrida of Iranian literature researcher Mahdi Shafieyan. On the basis of studies of traditional Albanian society (including Albanians from Kosovo), I introduce the reader to issues such as the traditional model of the Albanian family, ancestral revenge and the role of women in society. These issues undergird the analysis of excerpts from the novel My Cat Yugoslavia, which takes into account the theory of binary relations with regard to elements of the traditions of the ancestors of Albanian immigrants from Kosovo who settled in Finland.

description: The article examines how figure of the Frankenstein monster was reinvented in the Japanese contexts. The analysis is conducted on the basis of the following movies: Frankenstein Conquers the World and The War of the Gargantuas. Firstly, the article provides introductory information about the films. Next, the respective storyline structures are be outlined so as to correctly establish the Japanese formula of Frankenstein’s re-imagining (Frankenstein not as a mad scientist, but Prometheus turned into a Kaiju monster). Then, the motion pictures are juxtaposed against Mary Shelley’s vision of the creature for the purposes of challenging the visual framework of monstrosity (Kaiju monsters as figures of “kitsch” or, perhaps, new representatives of the Gothic trends) The analysis aims to show that Frankenstein still provides the stage for new translations of the story and its main protagonist also leads to new reinterpretations in the field of visual arts.

description: We present a successful realization of sneutrino tribrid inflation model based on a gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension of Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). A single interaction term involving the $B-L$ Higgs field and the right-handed neutrinos serves multiple purposes. These include the generation of heavy Majorana masses for the right-handed neutrinos to provide an explanation for the tiny neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism, a realistic scenario for reheating and non-thermal leptogenesis with a reheat temperature as low as $10^6$ GeV, and a successful realization of inflation with right-handed sneutrino as the inflaton. The matter parity which helps avoid rapid proton decay survives as a $Z_{2}$ subgroup of a $U(1)$ $R$-symmetry. Depending on the choice of model parameters yields the following predicted range of the tensor to scalar ratio, $3 \times 10^{-11}\lesssim r\lesssim 7\times 10^{-4}$ ($ 6 \times 10^{-7} \lesssim r \lesssim 0.01 $), and the running of the scalar spectral index, $-0.00022 \lesssim dn_s/d\ln k \lesssim -0.0026$ ($-0.00014 \lesssim dn_s/d\ln k \lesssim 0.005$), along with the $B-L$ breaking scale, $ 3 \times 10^{14}\lesssim M/ \text{GeV}\lesssim 5 \times 10^{15}$ ($ 6 \times 10^{15}\lesssim M/ \text{GeV}\lesssim 2 \times 10^{16}$), calculated at the central value of the scalar spectral index, $n_s =0.966$, reported by Planck 2018. The possibility of realizing metastable cosmic strings in a grand unified theory setup is briefly discussed. The metastable cosmic string network admits string tension values in the range $10^{-8} \lesssim Gμ_s \lesssim 10^{-6}$, and predicts a stochastic gravitational wave background lying within the 2-$σ$ bounds of the recent NANOGrav 12.5-yr data.

Mind Style in Translation. Emma Donoghue’s “Room” in Italian
Creators: name: Dore, Margherita
Publisher: name: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach
Year: 2022

description: This study investigates the translation of Emma Donoghue’s 2010 novel Room into Italian to verify what types of translation strategies were used to overcome the difficulties this text poses in terms of grammar, vocabulary, figurative speech and interactional behaviour. The contrastive analysis shows that, by and large, the Italian translator attempted to compensate for the loss of the five-year-old main character’s (Jack’s) peculiar personifications and other linguistic idiosyncrasies by adopting an approach that is both source- and target-oriented. Yet, it is argued that the translation process has resulted in a TT that is less stylistically deviant than the ST. Consequently, Jack’s mind style in the Italian translation is likely to be perceived as exceptional but less unusual than in the original version.

description: The social network has grown exponentially, connecting people globally and evolving dynamically. Detecting anomalies within these networks is important as they may indicate malicious activity or error. Traditional algorithms like Isolation Forest and One-Class SVM focus on existing structures and overlook new connections, leading to inadequate handling of dynamic changes. Similarly, recent algorithms like Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) and Graph Autoencoders (GAEs), while effective for static graphs, may struggle with computational efficiencies. To address these issues, we introduce AnoEdgePred, a novel method that combines Graph neural networks (GNNs) with link prediction and network analysis techniques to identify anomalies in newly formed connections. The method predicts future edges and analyses their structure to identify anomalies such as stars, cliques, dominant edges, or bottleneck edges. AnoEdgePred provides a comprehensive analysis of edge features and structural deviations, often overlooked by existing methods. We evaluated AnoEdgePred by comparing its performance with four different algorithms across datasets, like Facebook, Enron, Slashdot, Polblogs, and synthetic powerlaw network, using different performance metrics. Results show that AnoEdgePred significantly improves detection accuracy by 5−60% and achieves substantial gain in other metrics like precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC, making it a suitable solution for evolving social networks.

description: Platinum diselenide (PtSe${_2}$) is a two-dimensional (2D) material with outstanding electronic and piezoresistive properties. The material can be grown at low temperatures in a scalable manner which makes it extremely appealing for many potential electronics, photonics, and sensing applications. Here, we investigate the nanocrystalline structure of different PtSe${_2}$ thin films grown by thermally assisted conversion (TAC) and correlate them with their electronic and piezoresistive properties. We use scanning transmission electron microscopy for structural analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for chemical analysis, and Raman spectroscopy for phase identification. Electronic devices are fabricated using transferred PtSe${_2}$ films for electrical characterization and piezoresistive gauge factor measurements. The variations of crystallite size and their orientations are found to have a strong correlation with the electronic and piezoresistive properties of the films, especially the sheet resistivity and the effective charge carrier mobility. Our findings may pave the way for tuning and optimizing the properties of TAC-grown PtSe${_2}$ towards numerous applications.

Zauważono, że przekłady te znacząco się od siebie różnią, a ze względu na znaczną odrębność przekładów i aktywizowanie w nich odmiennych kontekstów/wizji świata, podjęto problem różnic między obrazami: nieba w języku polskim i angielskim, nieba w tekście wyjściowym oraz w jego przekładach na język angielski, a także spróbowano znaleźć rozbieżności w poszczególnych tłumaczeniach wiersza Wisławy Szymborskiej. W tym celu zrekonstruowano obrazy nieba w językach polskim i angielskim, odtworzono obrazy w tekście wyjściowym oraz w jego przekładach, a także pokazano występujące między nimi różnice. W artykule wykorzystano spostrzeżenia Agnieszki Gicali dotyczące sposobów przekładania obrazów świata w tekstach artystycznych, zwłaszcza metaforę dwóch gór lodowych, która przedstawia przekład jako swoistą rekonstrukcję dwóch obrazów świata, wyrażonych w języku wyjściowym i docelowym.

description: A review on the collection of the scientific and memorial articles dedicated to the memory of the famous researcher of Russian and Ukrainian literature, Doctor of Philology Natalia Mazepa (1930-2019). The reviewer draws attention to the expediency of the collection structure: a section on the memory of the extraordinary personality, in which grateful colleagues and students share their memories of the best days of their lives, and a section of the scientific works, where the authors continue the study in the most promising areas of Natalia Mazepa’s research. A particular emphasis should be placed on the fact that the representatives of almost all regions of Ukraine, working both in academic science and in educational institutions, are gathered around the scientist's name. Natalia Mazepa, who never held a leading position, has proven to be an inspiring force for many scientific fields.

description: Mechanotransduction, the biological response to mechanical stress, is often initiated by the activation of mechanosensitive (MS) proteins upon mechanically induced deformations of the cell membrane. A current challenge to fully understand this process is to predict how lipid bilayers deform upon application of mechanical stress. In this context, it is now well established that anionic lipids influence the function of many proteins. Here, we test the hypothesize that anionic lipids could indirectly modulate MS proteins by alteration of the lipid bilayer mechanical properties. Using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, we computed the bilayer bending rigidity (K_C), the area compressibility (K_A), and the surface shear viscosity (η_m) of phosphocholine (PC) lipid bilayers containing or not phosphatidylserine (PS) or phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2) at physiological concentrations in the lower leaflet. Tensionless leaflets were first checked for each asymmetric bilayer model, and a formula for embedding an asymmetric channel in an asymmetric bilayer is proposed. Results from two different sized bilayers show consistently that the addition of 20% surface charge in the lower leaflet of PC bilayer by PIP2 has minimal impact on its mechanical properties, while PS reduced the bilayer bending rigidity by 22%. As a comparison, supplementing the PIP2-enriched PC membrane with 30% cholesterol, a known rigidifying steroid lipid, produces a significant increase in all three mechanical constants. Analysis of pairwise splay moduli suggests that the effect of anionic lipids on bilayer bending rigidity largely depends on the number of anionic lipid pairs formed during simulations. The potential implication of bilayer bending rigidity is discussed in the framework of mechanosensitive Piezo channels.

description: L’objectif de nos analyses est de juxtaposer deux formes d’expression conçues pour commenter et illustrer la réalité: les slogans écrits et les mèmes internet apparus dans le contexte du mouvement des Gilets Jaunes, de l’action qui s’est déroulée aussi bien sur Internet que dans les rues. Bien qu’ils dominent des espaces communicationnels distincts, les slogans et les mèmes internet représentent des ressemblances que nous voudrions montrer à travers des exemples des slogans écrits sur des pancartes, des banderoles ou des gilets jaunes mais aussi dans des mèmes internet voués aux idées du mouvement, que nous avons recueillis. La recherche de ces ressemblances concerne des techniques discursives appliquées lors de la création des mèmes internet et reprises par les slogans écrits: la conversion, la fictionnalisation. Elle touche, en plus, les personnes ou les objets visés ainsi que le rôle de la représentation graphique.

description: INTRODUCTION Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EP) is less common than intramedullary plasmacytoma, comprising only 2% of all overall plasma cell disorder, but demonstrates a better prognosis. The occurrence of EP is reported rarely at the skeletal system, even rare at the paraspinal region. EP is commonly associated with systemic multiple myeloma and some even reported extramedullary plasmacytoma in a relapse or post treatment for multiple myeloma. Radiography is done as a primary survey and usually showed muscle enlargement with or without bone involvement. MRI is performed for further characterization and delineation of the lesion. We report a rare case of solitary intramuscular plasmacytoma in the absence of systemic involvement or prior history of multiple myeloma. CASE DESCRIPTION Mr NY, a 61-year-old male, initially presented in 2019 complaining of lower back pain without neurological deficit. No prior history of trauma and no fever or constitutional symptoms. He was treated as degenerative spine disease and non-contrasted MRI of the lumbar spine at that time showed paravertebral lesion within the right psoas with intraspinal canal extension. He refused any intervention then. In 2021, he complains of progressive lower limb weakness and a repeated MRI showed enlargement of the lesion with more extensive intraspinal canal extension from L2 to L4 causing compression unto the spinal canal and nerve roots [Figure 2(a) and 2(b)]. The lesion demonstrated isointense on T1W, hyperintense on T2W and homogenously enhanced post contrast [Figure 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c)]. Imaging differential diagnoses of metastases, neurofibroma and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour was given. Histopathological examination is compatible with plasma cell neoplasm. Bone marrow aspiration showed reactive marrow with no evidence of increased plasma cells. LEARNING POINT  A paraspinal EP is an extremely rare site for its manifestation. In the presence of nerve compression, the symptoms might include lower limb weakness and numbness. The most common MRI findings of EP on T1 weighted images is isointense to surrounding muscle, hyperintense on T2 weighted and marked enhancement post contrast. These are also commonly seen in other intramuscular lesions, thus providing imaging diagnostic dilemma. However, due to the rarity of the disease, site of manifestation and common MRI findings in other intramuscular mass; a diagnosis of EP was not listed. However, in view of the patient’s age group and typical imaging findings, despite the low incidence rate, a diagnosis of EP should be considered.

description: While the importance of phase space constraints for gravitational clustering of neutrinos (which are fermions) is well recognized, the explicit use of such constraints to limit neutrino emission from ultra energetic sources has not been stressed. Special and general relativistic phase space constraints are shown to limit neutrino luminosities in compact sources in various situations.

description: In this study, a new expansion of planetary disturbing function is developed for describing the resonant dynamics of minor bodies with arbitrary inclinations and semimajor axis ratios. In practice, the disturbing function is expanded around circular orbits in the first step and then, in the second step, the resulting mutual interaction between circular orbits is expanded around a reference point. As usual, the resulting expansion is presented in the Fourier series form, where the force amplitudes are dependent on the semimajor axis, eccentricity and inclination and the harmonic arguments are linear combinations of the mean longitude, longitude of pericenter and longitude of ascending node of each mass. The resulting new expansion is valid for arbitrary inclinations and semimajor axis ratios. In the case of mean motion resonant configuration, the disturbing function can be easily averaged to produce the analytical expansion of resonant disturbing function. Based on the analytical expansion, the Hamiltonian model of mean motion resonances is formulated, and the resulting analytical developments are applied to Jupiter's inner and co-orbital resonances and Neptune's exterior resonances. Analytical expansion is validated by comparing the analytical results with the associated numerical outcomes.

description: Early dark energy that relieves Hubble tension leaves a fingerprint in the primordial stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background that originates from cosmic string network. The signal is not only detectable with future planned GW experiments, but also distinguishable from other astrophysical and cosmological signals in the GW frequency spectrum. We find that the cosmic string GW spectrum can probe other new physics that influence the universe in post-Big-Bang-Nucleosynthesis with mid-band GW detection, which extends GW cosmic archaeology search region.

description: I visually explore the features of geodesic orbits in arbitrary stationary axisymmetric vacuum (SAV) spacetimes that are constructed from a complex Ernst potential. Some of the geometric features of integrable and chaotic orbits are highlighted. The geodesic problem for these SAV spacetimes is rewritten as a two degree of freedom problem and the connection between current ideas in dynamical systems and the study of two manifolds sought. The relationship between the Hamilton-Jacobi equations, canonical transformations, constants of motion and Killing tensors are commented on. Wherever possible I illustrate the concepts by means of examples from general relativity. This investigation is designed to build the readers' intuition about how integrability arises, and to summarize some of the known facts about two degree of freedom systems. Evidence is given, in the form of orbit-crossing structure, that geodesics in SAV spacetimes might admit, a fourth constant of motion that is quartic in momentum (by contrast with Kerr spacetime, where Carter's fourth constant is quadratic).
