description: Ischemic stroke (IS)-associated pneumonia is a leading cause of mortality after stroke, driven by peripheral immune imbalance. This systematic review evaluates immunosuppression markers associated with pneumonia following IS in clinical studies. Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and LILACS databases until March 2024. Inclusion criteria comprised clinical studies assessing IS-related immunosuppression and pneumonia, excluding in vitro and animal studies. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A total of 32 studies met the inclusion criteria, analyzing 1,833 post-stroke patients. Findings indicate that increased interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, alongside decreased repulsive guidance molecule A (RGM-A), are early indicators of post-stroke pneumonia. Meta-analysis was not conducted due to heterogeneity in study methodologies and populations. Elevated IL-6, IL-10, and CRP levels, along with reduced RGM-A, are associated with post-stroke pneumonia, emphasizing the role of immune dysregulation in its pathophysiology. Despite promising findings, further studies with standardized detection techniques are needed to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve patient prognosis. The variability in study methodologies presents a limitation to drawing definitive conclusions. Registration: PROSPERO CRD42024543108.
Tuned electron-nucleus resonance as a tool of producing the 229mTh isomer

description: The possibility of refining the energy of the 8.36-eV 229mTh nuclear isomer -- the most likely candidate for the role of a nuclear frequency standard -- by means of resonant optical pumping is discussed. Attention is focused on considering the broadening of the resonance in order to reduce scanning time. The two-photon method proposed exploits the radical broadening of the isomer line due to mixing with the electron transition. This is not burdened with the cross-section reduction, in contrast with internal-conversion-based resonance broadening or intended extra-broadening of the spectral line of a pumping laser. In the case under consideration, according to the calculations, it turns out to be two orders of magnitude more efficient. It is applicable to both ionized and neutral thorium atoms. Realization of the method supposes excitation of the both nucleus and electron shell in the final state.

description: Ultrathin bronchoscopy (UTB) is commonly used to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions due to its small diameter. However, there is no consensus on its comparison with conventional bronchoscopy (CB) combined with various guiding modalities. A comprehensive literature search was performed to identify studies comparing UTB and CB, extracting data on diagnostic yield, operating time, complications, pathological diagnoses, and lesion size. Protocol registration: identifier CRD42024554649. PRISMA guidelines were followed. This meta-analysis included 11 studies with 2,640 patients. UTB demonstrated a significantly higher diagnostic yield (70.5% vs. 57.6%, p = 0.005), particularly with rEBUS and fluoroscopy (p = 0.02). UTB had a higher complication rate, but the difference was not significant (p = 0.37). It also had a shorter operative time than CB-GS (p = 0.007). UTB showed a significant advantage in diagnosing malignant tumors, especially adenocarcinoma and metastatic cancer (p = 0.02, p = 0.03). Both techniques were comparable in diagnosing benign conditions, but UTB outperformed CB in all lesion size categories (p < 0.01). UTB’s smaller diameter likely provides a diagnostic advantage over CB and CB-GS by enabling deeper and more accurate access to peripheral lung regions.

description: At redshifts beyond $z \gtrsim 30$, the 21cm line from neutral hydrogen is expected to be essentially the only viable probe of the 3D matter distribution. The lunar far-side is an extremely appealing site for future radio arrays that target this signal, as it is protected from terrestrial radio frequency interference, and has no ionosphere to attenuate and absorb radio emission at low frequencies (tens of MHz and below). We forecast the sensitivity of low-frequency lunar radio arrays to the bispectrum of the 21cm brightness temperature field, which can in turn be used to probe primordial non-Gaussianity generated by particular early universe models. We account for the loss of particular regions of Fourier space due to instrumental limitations and systematic effects, and predict the sensitivity of different representative array designs to local-type non-Gaussianity in the bispectrum, parametrised by $f_{\rm NL}$. Under the most optimistic assumption of sample variance-limited observations, we find that $σ(f_{\rm NL}) \lesssim 0.01$ could be achieved for several broad redshift bins at $z \gtrsim 30$ if foregrounds can be removed effectively. These values degrade to between $σ(f_{\rm NL}) \sim 0.03$ and $0.7$ for $z=30$ to $z=170$ respectively when a large foreground wedge region is excluded.

description: This paper primarily aims to test a Pleistocene refuge-type scenario, as previously proposed for the gonyleptid Geraeocormobius sylvarum, a semi-deciduous forests dweller in subtropical Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Palaeodistributional models of this species were built using MaxEnt for two Last Glacial Maximum (LGM = 21,000 years ago) simulations – Community Climate System Model (CCSM) and Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC) – and for 6000 years ago (−6k = HCO, the Holocene climatic optimum). Both LGM models retrieved a fragmented pattern. For CCSM, range was split into multiple, scattered fragments. MIROC resulted in very few patches, with a decided range reduction because of a strong humidity drop. Models for −6k recovered a moderate range expansion. No past connection between the core area and the yungas was predicted. Analysis of variables importance showed that two precipitation predictors (bc18, precipitation warmest quarter; bc14, precipitation driest month) and two temperature predictors (bc7, temperature annual range; bc9, mean temperature driest quarter) scored as the most influencing overall. The Limiting Factor analysis recognized them as limiting too, in different parts of the species range. LGM palaeomodels of G. sylvarum are compatible with the refuge hypothesis invoked in previous molecular analyses, to explain the high genetic diversity found in the core area. Additionally, the results reinforced the hypothesis of the recent anthropogenic origin of the yungas disjunct populations.

description: The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) instrument on the future ESA mission Athena X-ray Observatory is a cryogenic micro-calorimeter array of Transition Edge Sensor (TES) detectors designed to provide spatially-resolved high-resolution spectroscopy. The onboard reconstruction software provides energy, spatial location and arrival time of incoming X-ray photons hitting the detector. A new processing algorithm based on a truncation of the classical optimal filter and called 0-padding, has been recently proposed aiming to reduce the computational cost without compromising energy resolution. Initial tests with simple synthetic data displayed promising results. This study explores the slightly better performance of the 0-padding filter and assess its final application to real data. The goal is to examine the larger sensitivity to instrumental conditions that was previously observed during the analysis of the simulations. This 0-padding technique is thoroughly tested using more realistic simulations and real data acquired from NASA and NIST laboratories employing X-IFU-like TES detectors. Different fitting methods are applied to the data, and a comparative analysis is performed to assess the energy resolution values obtained from these fittings. The 0-padding filter achieves energy resolutions as good as those obtained with standard filters, even with those of larger lengths, across different line complexes and instrumental conditions. This method proves to be useful for energy reconstruction of X-ray photons detected by the TES detectors provided proper corrections for baseline drift and jitter effects are applied. The finding is highly promising especially for onboard processing, offering efficiency in computational resources and facilitating the analysis of sources with higher count rates at high resolution.

description: NY 315499. Discussion of two enlarged food-vessels found during gravel-winning forms the starting point for a wider regional survey of the type and its associations. The north and west Cumbrian early collared urns and enlarged food-vessels tend to show the all-over decoration of their late Neolithic forerunners, and there are also influences from Irish food-vessels. A hitherto unpublished example has horseshoe shaped cord impressions rare for this class. A distribution map of food-vessels, enlarged food-vessels and encrusted urns in the three counties shows that all these types are concentrated around the Eden river system and in NW Cumberland. The jet ornaments and plano-convex knives of the food-vessel complex are catalogued, together with rock carvings. The entry route seems to have been over the Pennine passes of Stainmore or Tyne-Irthing from Yorkshire and Northumberland, but Irish influence is also clear.

description: A systematic search around Seascale led to discoveries of flint artefacts in ten out of sixty fields. Flint knives, scrapers, axe fragments and a single microlith were found, suggesting that a number of small occupation sites existed within easy reach of pebble flints from the seashore. Most of the sites are on well-drained land close to a good water-supply. One of the axe fragments is of Ronaldsway type and illustrates the cultural interchange between coastal Cumberland and the Isle of Man in the Neolithic period.

description: We systematically reviewed observational studies assessing the safety of concomitant use of oral anticoagulants (OACs) and antidiabetic drugs (ADs). We systematically searched MEDLINE/PubMed and EMBASE up to 10/2024 for cohort, case-control, and case-only studies on concomitant use of OACs and ADs and the risk of adverse outcomes (hypoglycemia, bleeding). Risk of bias was assessed using the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. We identified five cohort studies and two self-controlled case-series (n = 1,370,036). Concomitant use of sulfonylureas and warfarin was mostly associated with increased risks of hypoglycemia versus sulfonylurea use alone (five studies); results were heterogeneous when comparing concomitant use of sulfonylureas and warfarin versus concomitant use of sulfonylureas and DOACs (two studies) and concomitant use of non-sulfonylurea ADs and warfarin versus non-sulfonylurea AD use alone (two studies). Concomitant use of warfarin and sulfonylureas was not associated with the risk of bleeding versus warfarin use alone (one study). Via ROBINS-I, four studies were at moderate, one at serious, and two at critical risk of bias. Given inconsistent findings and a non-negligible risk of bias, observational studies do not suggest major clinical hazards due to concomitant use of OACs and ADs.

description: We present a method of mode analysis to search for signals with frequency evolution and limited duration in a given data stream. Our method is a natural expansion of the Fourier analysis, and we can obtain the information about frequency evolution with high frequency precision and high time resolution. Applications of this method to the analysis of inspiral and burst signals show that the signals are characterized by an index which we name `bounce hardness'. The index corresponds to the growth rate of the signals.

description: The gravitational field of an isolated, axisymmetric flat disk of spinning dust is calculated approximately in the weak-field limit of quasi-metric gravity. Boundary conditions single out the exponential disk as a "preferred" physical surface density profile. Besides, collective properties of the disk, in the form of an extra "associated induced" surface density playing the role of "dark matter", also emerge. Taken as an idealized model of spiral galaxy thin disks, it is shown that including this "dark matter" into the model as a gravitating source, yields asymptotically flat rotation curves and a correspondence with MOND.

description: Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) represents a heterogeneous disease making treatment advancements difficult. Recently, claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) has emerged as an exciting new target in GAC. Zolbetuximab, an anti-CLDN18.2 monoclonal antibody, has now been FDA approved. Phase 1, 2, and 3 zolbetuximab trials have been completed in GAC. Phase 3 trials evaluating zolbetuximab in combination with front-line fluoropyrimidine plus platinum therapy improved survival endpoints compared to placebo plus chemotherapy in those with high CLDN18.2 positivity (>75% of tumor cells). This led to zolbetuximab’s FDA approval in this population. Here, we review aspects of zolbetuximab’s pharmacology known at this time. Zolbetuximab is one of many agents targeting CLDN18.2 under development. Zolbetuximab in combination with chemotherapy has a slight impact on high CLDN18.2 expressed GAC to chemotherapy alone. Examining how to improve upon outcomes will be of benefit. Additionally, there are GAC subsets who may have benefit from zolbetuximab but need more close examination such as those with moderate CLDN18.2 expressed tumors, low CLDN18.2 expressed tumors, and CLD18-ARHGAP fusion patients.

description: Background: Synthetic surfactants represent a promising alternative to animal-derived preparations in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. The synthetic surfactant CHF5633 has proven biophysical effectiveness and, moreover, demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects in LPS-stimulated monocytes. With ureaplasmas being relevant pathogens in preterm lung inflammation, the present study addressed immunomodulatory features on Ureaplasma-induced monocyte cytokine responses. Methods:Ureaplasma parvum-stimulated monocytes were exposed to CHF5633. TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, IL-10, TLR2 and TLR4 expression were analyzed using qPCR and flow cytometry. Results: CHF5633 did not induce pro-inflammation, and did not aggravate Ureaplasma-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine responses. It suppressed U. parvum-induced intracellular TNF-α (p Ureaplasma-induced TNF-α mRNA (p Ureaplasma-modulated IL-8, IL-10, TLR2 and TLR4 were unaffected. Conclusion: CHF5633 does neither act pro-apoptotic nor pro-inflammatory in native and Ureaplasma-infected monocytes. Suppression of Ureaplasma-induced TNF-α and IL-1β underlines anti-inflammatory features of CHF5633.

description: The search for dark matter is of fundamental importance to our understanding of the universe. Weakly-Interacting Slim Particles (WISPs) such as axions and hidden sector photons (HSPs) are well motivated candidates for the dark matter. Some of the most sensitive and mature experiments to detect WISPs rely on microwave cavities, and the detection of weak photon signals. It is often suggested to power combine multiple cavities, which creates a host of technical concerns. We outline a scheme based on cross-correlation for effectively power combining cavities and increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of a candidate WISP signal.

description: When we represent real-world systems as networks, the directions of links often convey valuable information. Finding module structures that respect link directions is one of the most important tasks for analysing directed networks. Although many notions of a directed module have been proposed, no consensus has been reached. This lack of consensus results partly, because there might exist distinct types of modules in a single directed network, whereas most previous studies focused on an independent criterion for modules. To address this issue, we propose a generic notion of the so-called truss structures in directed networks. Our definition of truss is able to extract two distinct types of trusses, named the cycle truss and the flow truss, from a unified framework. By applying the method for finding trusses to empirical networks obtained from a wide range of research fields, we find that most real networks contain both cycle and flow trusses. In addition, the abundance of (and the overlap between) the two types of trusses may be useful to characterize module structures in a wide variety of empirical networks. Our findings shed light on the importance of simultaneously considering different types of modules in directed networks.

We provide sufficient conditions for such a model to possess a unique invariant distribution, which is exponentially attracting in the dual bounded Lipschitz distance. Having established this, we generalise a result of J. Kazak on the jump process defined by a Poisson driven stochastic differential equation with a solution-dependent intensity of perturbations.

description: This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with hepatic vein tumor thrombus (HVTT), inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (IVCTT), and/or right atrium tumor thrombus (RATT). A systematic review of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Wanfang databases up to 22 August 2024, was conducted, focusing on overall survival (OS), progression -free survival (PFS), and adverse reactions. Seven studies involving 453 patients were analyzed. Treatment strategies included surgery alone, local ± systemic therapy, and surgery with adjuvant therapy. The pooled 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates for all patients were 63.3%, 21.6% , and 8.3%, respectively. Surgery with adjuvant therapy achieved the highest 1-year OS, while local ± systemic therapy led to the best 5-year OS. The pooled 1-, 3-, and 5-year PFS rates for all patients were 56.8%, 9.4%, and 1.6%, respectively. Surgery alone commonly caused ascites and pleural effusion; the local ± systemic therapy commonly caused hepatic dysfunction and platelet abnormalities; and surgery with adjuvant therapy commonly caused peritoneal abscess. Local ± systemic therapy provided the best long-term OS and manageable complications among the therapeutic strategies for HCC with HVTT, IVCTT, and/or RATT. PROSPERO, (CRD42024573152)

description: We focused to highlight the effect of quenching on the development and ordering of non-aqueous lyotropic liquid crystalline phases. Lyotropic mesophases are prepared from binary mixtures of sodium dodecyl sulphate and ethylene glycol at varying concentrations 30:70 and 50:50 wt%. The obtained self-assembled phases are characterised by X-ray diffraction, polarisation optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and dielectric spectroscopy to evaluate the structural, optical, thermal and dielectric behaviours. Structural and textural measurements confirmed mesomorphic and crystalline phases for both mixtures. Calorimetric study gives insight about the growth of new phases at ≈335 K and isotropic temperatures of these mixtures. Both the mixtures are quenched from 335 K to the 303 K to analyse the effect of quenching on the structure and ordering of mesophases. We noticed well-defined hexagonal liquid crystalline mesophases for both concentrations after quenching at 303 K. Dielectric and relaxation behaviours of quenched mesophases were also examined. Higher capacitance and dielectric strength are noticed for quenched mixtures. The application prospective of such phases is also discussed.

description: Novel C2-symmetric chiral dopant derivatives, namely, N-substituted (2R, 3R)-2,3-bis(4-(4-octyloxyphenyl)benzoyloxy)succinimides1a-h, were synthesised, and the effects of the N-substituent and imide-carbonyl groups on the helical twisting powers (HTPs) were investigated in two nematic liquid crystalline compounds, 4-n-pentyl-4ʹ-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and N-(4-ethoxybenzylidene)-4-n-butylaniline (EBBA). As a result, it was clarified that the bulkiness of the N-substituents has a significant correlation with the HTPs, and the imide-carbonyl group interacts strongly with the cyano group of 5CB to give high HTPs in the nematic phases. However, it is assumed that the imide-carbonyl groups of the dopants do not have strong electrostatic attractive interactions with EBBA molecules in the nematic phase to afford the moderate HTPs.

description: Context: As a class of angiogenesis inhibitors, heparin conjugates have shown significant effectiveness in several studies. Objectives: The purpose of our current study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of infusing the conjugate of low molecular weight heparin and taurocholate (LHT7), which has been developed as a potent angiogenesis inhibitor. Methods: To evaluate its safety, the method of intravenous infusion was compared with its i.v. bolus administration. Intravenous infusion was administered at a rate of 400 μl/min/kg of body weight for 30 min. Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, organ accumulation, and plasma concentration profiles of LHT7 were measured. The anticancer effect of LHT7 was evaluated in murine and human xenograft models, and preclinical studies were performed in SD rats and beagle dogs. Results: The results of the PK studies showed reduced organ accumulation in mice and the AUC(0–96 h) (area under the curve) was increased up to 1485 ± 125 h × μg/ml. The efficacy, at dose 1 mg/kg/2 d was higher for i.v. infusion than for i.v. bolus administration in both murine and human cancer models. The preclinical studies showed the safety dose of LHT7 is less than 20 mg/kg in SD rats and in the next safety analysis in beagle dogs showed that there were no organ-specific adverse effects in higher doses, such as, 12 mg/kg. LHT7 showed sustained effects with minimized adverse events when administered through i.v. infusion. Conclusions: LHT7 (i.v. infusion) could be safely used for further clinical development as a multi-targeting anti-angiogenic agent.

description: The space of graphs is often characterised by a non-trivial geometry, which complicates learning and inference in practical applications. A common approach is to use embedding techniques to represent graphs as points in a conventional Euclidean space, but non-Euclidean spaces have often been shown to be better suited for embedding graphs. Among these, constant-curvature Riemannian manifolds (CCMs) offer embedding spaces suitable for studying the statistical properties of a graph distribution, as they provide ways to easily compute metric geodesic distances. In this paper, we focus on the problem of detecting changes in stationarity in a stream of attributed graphs. To this end, we introduce a novel change detection framework based on neural networks and CCMs, that takes into account the non-Euclidean nature of graphs. Our contribution in this work is twofold. First, via a novel approach based on adversarial learning, we compute graph embeddings by training an autoencoder to represent graphs on CCMs. Second, we introduce two novel change detection tests operating on CCMs. We perform experiments on synthetic data, as well as two real-world application scenarios: the detection of epileptic seizures using functional connectivity brain networks, and the detection of hostility between two subjects, using human skeletal graphs. Results show that the proposed methods are able to detect even small changes in a graph-generating process, consistently outperforming approaches based on Euclidean embeddings.

description: This study aims to assess the burden of prostate cancer (PCa) in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) by analyzing historical trends, evaluating the current burden, and forecasting future trends. This study uses data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study spanning 1990-2021 to analyze PCa trends in CEE. We assessed age-standardized rates (ASRs) of PCa to identify trend changes through joinpoint regression analysis, explored regional disparities using QGIS software, and made projections for 2031 using the ARIMA model. Eastern Europe experienced greater changes across health metrics compared to Central Europe, with higher average annual percentage change values for incidence, prevalence, mortality, and DALYs rates. In 2021, Lithuania and Estonia recorded the highest PCa prevalence rates, while Estonia had the highest total percentage change (240.3). Estonia and Latvia also had the highest mortality rates (34.1 and 33.6 per 100,000, respectively). CEE’s prevalence rates are projected to remain stable. The findings highlight significant regional disparities in the burden of prostate cancer in CEE. Efforts to address these disparities should focus on enhancing diagnostic programs and treatment access, particularly in Eastern Europe, to reduce the ongoing burden of PCa in the region.

description: We consider a position-dependent quantum walk on ${\bf Z}$. In particular, we derive a detection method for edge defects by embedded eigenvalues of its time evolution operator. In the present paper, the set of edge defects is that of points in ${\bf Z}$ on which the coin operator is an anti-diagonal matrix. In fact, under some suitable assumptions, the existence of a finite number of edge defects is equivalent to the existence of embedded eigenvalues of the time evolution operator.
The Story of Another Idea: Forum voor Architectuur en Daarmee Verbonden Kunsten’s. Construction of Netherlander Contemporary Urban Landscape

description: “The Story of Another Idea” is the title provided to the first and the last issues of Forum voor Architectuur en Daarmee Verbonden Kunsten edited by the Dutch representatives of Team 10. From 1959 to 1967, Forum journal was the media employed by Aldo van Eyck and Jaap Bakema to spread not only the ideas shared during Team 10’s meetings but also their own research. The editorial board was comprised by other architects, like Herman Hertzberger or Joop Hardy, who developed outstanding careers afterwards. Despite the manifold authorships and formats, there is a common thread underlying all Forum’s contributions: the criticism of the functional city and the definition of an alternative urban model based on human relationships. The deliberate selection of the word ‘landscape’ for the title intends to narrow the focus on the visual component of urban design, which will be a distinctive feature of their theoretical investigations and more idealistic proposals. Forum’s issues published in this period are dissected by isolating those entries considered essential to reconstruct the evolution of the editors’ critical discourse on the construction of contemporary city mainly as a reaction against the functionalist approach encouraged by outstanding members of CIAM years before. This article aims at shedding light on the importance given by Dutch Team 10 to habitat configuration and visual composition in the design of contemporary city after the Second World War and the establishment of the Welfare State in the 1950s. The chronological ordering of selected contributions to Forum since 1959 until 1967, helps us to identify the changes in the editors’ research on urban design, as well as to contextualize it in the post-war social, political, and cultural framework. To conclude, this study intends to demonstrate in which way Forum’s content contributed to characterize an alternative Dutch Post-War urban landscape.

description: We show that the distribution of times for a diffusing particle to first hit an absorber is \emph{independent} of the direction of an external flow field, when we condition on the event that the particle reaches the target for flow away from the target. Thus, in one dimension, the average time for a particle to travel to an absorber a distance $\ell$ away is $\ell/|v|$, independent of the sign of $v$. This duality extends to all moments of the hitting time. In two dimensions, the distribution of first-passage times to an absorbing circle in the radial velocity field $v(r)=Q/(2πr)$ again exhibits duality. Our approach also gives a new perspective on how varying the radial velocity is equivalent to changing the spatial dimension, as well as the transition between transience and strong transience in diffusion.

description: In this paper, a deep learning (DL)-based sphere decoding algorithm is proposed, where the radius of the decoding hypersphere is learned by a deep neural network (DNN). The performance achieved by the proposed algorithm is very close to the optimal maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) over a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), while the computational complexity, compared to existing sphere decoding variants, is significantly reduced. This improvement is attributed to DNN's ability of intelligently learning the radius of the hypersphere used in decoding. The expected complexity of the proposed DL-based algorithm is analytically derived and compared with existing ones. It is shown that the number of lattice points inside the decoding hypersphere drastically reduces in the DL-based algorithm in both the average and worst-case senses. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is shown through simulation for high-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, using high-order modulations.
New Brutalism and the Myth of Japan

description: This paper seeks to shed new lights on the New Brutalism through re-orienting attention to the repeated evocations of Japan in Alison and Peter Smithson’s writings since the 1950s. In these articles, the Smithsons did not only present Japanese architectural tradition as a yardstick of the Modern Movement and hence New Brutalism, but also took pride in the fact that their understandings of Japanese culture were from the mass media. This study examines how New Brutalism was simultaneously shaped by mass media’s post-war media boom and their portrayal of Japan. It suggests that Japan had several efficacies for New Brutalism, including as an inspiration for mass-produced architecture and mass-produced culture. The problems associated with their references to Japan will also be considered.
