description: Background: Management strategies for the recurrence of trigeminal neuralgia after microvascular decompression include repeat procedures, medical management or no further therapy. No consensus exists as to which strategy is best for pain relief. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of patients with recurrences after microvascular decompression in the cohort, and to compare long-term pain relief between different management strategies. Materials and methods: A historical cohort of patients who underwent microvascular decompression at a neurosurgical institution between 1982–2002, followed up by postal survey at five years, was included. Characteristics of patients who experienced a recurrence were compared to those who were recurrence free, and pain relief was compared between each management strategy. Results: From 169 responders who were included in the study, 28 (16.6%) experienced a recurrence after MVD. No characteristics were significantly different between patients who experienced a recurrence and those who did not. Repeat procedures, including repeat microvascular decompression, partial sensory rhizotomy or radiofrequency thermocoagulation, yielded the highest proportion of pain relief after recurrence (p = 0.031), with 63.6% of patients pain-free at five-years. There was no evidence to suggest that the choice of repeat procedure influenced the likelihood of pain relief after recurrence. No further treatment yielded 57.1% pain-free, whereas medical therapy had the lowest proportion of pain-free patients, at 10.0%. Conclusion: A variety of options are available to patients for recurrence of TN after microvascular decompression with repeat procedures yielding the greatest likelihood of long-term pain relief in this historical cohort. The choice of management should consider the mechanism of recurrence, the benefits and risks of each option and the severity of the pain. Regardless of the management strategy selected, careful phenotyping of patients before and after surgery is paramount.

description: Federated Learning (FL) is an evolving paradigm that enables multiple parties to collaboratively train models without sharing raw data. Among its variants, Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) is particularly relevant in real-world, cross-organizational collaborations, where distinct features of a shared instance group are contributed by different parties. In these scenarios, parties are often linked using fuzzy identifiers, leading to a common practice termed as multi-party fuzzy VFL. Existing models generally address either multi-party VFL or fuzzy VFL between two parties. Extending these models to practical multi-party fuzzy VFL typically results in significant performance degradation and increased costs for maintaining privacy. To overcome these limitations, we introduce the Federated Transformer (FeT), a novel framework that supports multi-party VFL with fuzzy identifiers. FeT innovatively encodes these identifiers into data representations and employs a transformer architecture distributed across different parties, incorporating three new techniques to enhance performance. Furthermore, we have developed a multi-party privacy framework for VFL that integrates differential privacy with secure multi-party computation, effectively protecting local representations while minimizing associated utility costs. Our experiments demonstrate that the FeT surpasses the baseline models by up to 46\% in terms of accuracy when scaled to 50 parties. Additionally, in two-party fuzzy VFL settings, FeT also shows improved performance and privacy over cutting-edge VFL models.

description: Introduction: Undergraduate student conferences provide networking opportunities for students interested in exploring a speciality. The ability to meet with like-minded students, engage with senior clinicians and experience the practical side of a speciality are valuable in shaping the career trajectory of undergraduates. We report our experience of developing a national undergraduate neurosurgery conference – a combined project between the medical students of King’s College London School of Medicine and the neurosurgery department at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Design: Evaluation of conference design and student feedback. Methods: The conference was organised by medical students with support from a neurosurgical unit. Senior clinicians and trainees helped design practical workshops and a focused programme. Questionnaires were distributed before and after the conference to assess the quality of content and impact of the conference on students. Results: Prior to the conference, 80.7% of respondents stated they were interested in a career in neurosurgery. After the conference the figure rose to 88.9%. The percentage of students who felt they understood what a career in neurosurgery involves increased from 38.6% to 92.1% of respondents. 39.0% of participants had no neurosurgery exposure prior to the conference. 91.9% of participants agreed or strongly agreed they would be more confident engaging with a neurosurgical department following the conference. All participants agreed (29.0%) or strongly agreed (71.0%) that they would recommend this conference to a colleague. Conclusions: Student conferences are a valuable method of increasing exposure to a career in neurosurgery. They serve a great purpose in demystifying the specialty and guiding those with an interest through the steps required to enter and progress.

description: We investigate the quantum phase transitions for the $XXZ$ spin-1/2 chains via the quantum correlations between the nearest and next to nearest neighbor spins characterized by negativity, information deficit, trace distance discord and local quantum uncertainty. It is shown that all these correlations exhibit the quantum phase transitions at $Δ=-1$. However, only information deficit and local quantum uncertainty can demonstrate quantum phase transitions at $Δ=1$. The analytical and numerical behaviors of the quantum correlations for the $XXZ$ system are presented. We also consider quantum correlations in the Hartree-Fock ground state of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model.

description: A simple, efficient, and green approach for the synthesis of novel isoxazolyl pyrroles have been described by a one-pot reaction of isoxazolyl enamino esters and nitroolefins using H2O as a reaction medium and polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as a promoter. This method demonstrates to be a simple, efficient, and environmentally benign in terms of metal, base free, less-reaction time, excellent yields, wide substrates scope, and PEG-400 can be recovered and reused. Most important of all, this reaction process is green.

description: The cosmology of the Randall-Sundrum scenario for a positive tension brane in a 5-D Universe with localized gravity has been studied previously. In the radiation-dominated Universe, it was suggested that there are two solutions for the cosmic scale factor a(t) : the standard solution $a\sim t^{1/2}$, and a solution $a\sim t^{1/4}$, which is incompatible with standard big bang nucleosynthesis. In this note, we reconsider expansion of the Universe in this scenario. We derive and solve a first order, linear differential equation for H^2, the square of the expansion rate of the Universe, as a function of a. The differences between our equation for H^2 and the relationship found in standard cosmology are (i) there is a term proportional to density squared (a fact already known), which is small when the density is small compared to the brane tension, and (ii) there is a contribution which acts like a relativistic fluid. We show that this second contribution is due to gravitational degrees of freedom in the bulk. Thus, we find that there need not be any conflict between cosmology of the Randall-Sundrum scenario and the standard model of cosmology. We discuss how reheating at the end of inflation leads to the correct relationship between matter density and expansion rate, $H^2\to 8πGρ_m/3$, and the conditions that must be met for the expansion rate of the Universe to be close to its standard model value around the epoch of cosmological nucleosynthesis.

description: Structural defects such as voids and compositional inhomogeneities may affect the performance of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells. We analyzed the morphology and elemental distributions in co-evaporated CIGS thin films at the different stages of the CIGS growth by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy in a transmission electron microscope. Accumulation of Cu-Se phases was found at crevices and at grain boundaries after the Cu-rich intermediate stage of the CIGS deposition sequence. It was found, that voids are caused by Cu out-diffusion from crevices and GBs during the final deposition stage. The Cu inhomogeneities lead to non-uniform diffusivities of In and Ga, resulting in lateral inhomogeneities of the In and Ga distribution. Two and three-dimensional simulations were used to investigate the impact of the inhomogeneities and voids on the solar cell performance. A significant impact of voids was found, indicating that the unpassivated voids reduce the open-circuit voltage and fill factor due to the introduction of free surfaces with high recombination velocities close to the CIGS/CdS junction. We thus suggest that voids, and possibly inhomogeneities, limit the efficiency of solar cells based on three-stage co-evaporated CIGS thin films. Passivation of the voids’ internal surface may reduce their detrimental effects.

description: We discuss twisted states of AdS orbifolds which couple to N=2 chiral primary operators not invariant under exchange of the gauge factors. Kaluza-Klein reduction on the fixed circle gives the correct conformal dimensions of operators in the superconformal theory and involves some aspects of monopole dynamics in the non-trivial background. As a byproduct we found evidence for decoupling of U(1) factors in the four-dimensional gauge theory.

Subjects: classificationCode: 50
subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: In this research we took a stock of Islamic Monetary Policy in Theory and Practice with Reference to the Digital Era. Our study shows that both in theory and in practice, the Islamic monetary policy instruments are discussed and practiced. However, not all good theoretical ideas are applicable in practice. The practice itself is not uniform across countries. The influence of conventional instruments and traditions are overwhelming; sparsely available Islamic instruments also replicate the traditional instruments. This is also partly because the practice of Islamic banking is to certain extent converging with the conventional banking by replicating the core mechanisms, mainly Tawaruq and I'nah. These also reflect in the available monetary policy instruments. Our main addition to the existing literature is extension of the discussion into the digital era. We discussed some prospects. Robust systemic liquidity is the more serious need of the Islamic banking system. We suggested a potential solution in this regard. One of the prospects is the potential room for utilization of Smart contracts for enhancing systemic liquidity for Islamic financial institution. With certain level of Islamic financial engineering, a Musharakah certificate can be created with Call and Put options. The Call and Put Options can be invoked through Smart contract triggers contingent upon threshold conditions of key liquidity and stable funding ratios. This is a major suggestion that need further study in the potential digitization of economies, assets, and monetary policy.

description: We present ALMA CO(3-2) observations at 0.3 arcsec resolution of He2-10, a starburst dwarf galaxy and possible high-z galaxy analogue. The warm dense gas traced by CO(3--2) is found in clumpy filaments that are kinematically and spatially distinct. The filaments have no preferred orientation or direction; this may indicate that the galaxy is not evolving into a disk galaxy. Filaments appear to be feeding the active starburst; the velocity field in one filament suggests acceleration onto an embedded star cluster. The relative strengths of CO(3-2) and radio continuum vary strongly on decaparsec scales in the starburst. There is no CO(3--2) clump coincident with the non-thermal radio source that has been suggested to be an AGN, nor unusual kinematics. The kinematics of the molecular gas show significant activity apparently unrelated to the current starburst. The longest filament, east of the starburst, has a pronounced shear of FWHM $\sim40$~\kms\ across its $\sim$50~pc width over its entire $\approx 0.5$ kpc length. The cause of the shear is not clear. This filament is close in projection to a `dynamically distinct' CO feature previously seen in CO(1--0). The most complex region and the most highly disturbed gas velocities are in a region 200~pc south of the starburst. The CO(3--2) emission there reveals a molecular outflow, of linewidth FWZI $\sim$ 120-140 \kms, requiring an energy $\gtrsim 10^{53} \rm~ erg/s$. There is at present {\it no} candidate for the driving source of this outflow.

description: University rankings, despite facing criticism, continue to maintain their popularity. In the 2023 Scopus Ranking of Ukrainian Universities, certain institutions stood out due to their high h-index, despite modest publication and citation numbers. This phenomenon can be attributed to influential research topics or involvement in international collaborative research. However, these results may also be due to the authors' own efforts to increase the number of citations of their publications in order to improve their h-index. To investigate this, the publications from the top 30 universities in the ranking were analysed, revealing humpback rank-citation curves for two universities. These humpbacks indicate unusual trends in the citation data, especially considering the high percentage of self-citations and FWCI of analysed papers. While quantitative analysis has limitations, the combination of humped rank-citation curves, self-citations, FWCI, and previous research findings raises concerns about the possible causes of these anomalies in the citation data of the analysed universities. The method presented in this paper can aid ranking compilers and citation databases managers in identifying potential instances of citation data anomalies, emphasizing the importance of expert assessment for accurate conclusions.

Clumped dark matter is dynamically stable to friction and will not heat the disk. Such clumps may have already been discovered in the form of dwarf spheroidals, and further searches are encouraged by the results of this paper.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Patients carrying the carbonic anhydrase12 E143K mutation showed the dry mouth phenotype. The mechanism underlying the modulation of aquaporin 5 and function in the salivary glands by carbonic anhydrase12 remains unknown. In this study, we identified the mislocalised aquaporin 5 in the salivary glands carrying the E143K. The intracellular pH of E143K cells was more acidic than that of the cells carrying wild type. To evaluate the role of carbonic anhydrase12 on the volume regulation of aquaporin 5, the submandibular gland cells were subjected to hypotonic stimuli. E143K enhanced the extent of swelling of cells on hypotonicity. Aquaporin 5 modulates water influx through ion transporters to prevent osmotic imbalance. These results suggest that the carbonic anhydrase12 E143K, including acidification or inflammation, mediates volume dysregulation by the loss of aquaporin 5. Thus, carbonic anhydrase12 may determine sensible effects on the cellular osmotic regulation by modulating aquaporin 5.

description: The exotic phenomenon of time translation symmetry breaking under periodic driving - the time crystal - has been shown to occur in many-body systems even in clean setups where disorder is absent. In this work, we propose the realization of time-crystals in few-body systems, both in the context of trapped cold atoms with strong interactions and of a circuit of superconducting qubits. We show how these two models can be treated in a fairly similar way by adopting an effective spin chain description, to which we apply a simple driving protocol. We focus on the response of the magnetization in the presence of imperfect pulses and interactions, and show how the results can be interpreted, in the cold atomic case, in the context of experiments with trapped bosons and fermions. Furthermore, we provide a set of realistic parameters for the implementation of the superconducting circuit.

description: Objective: To exploit state variations in infant mortality, identify diagnoses that contributed to reduction of the infant mortality rate (IMR), and examine factors associated with preterm related mortality rate (PMR). Methods: Using linked birth-infant deaths files, we examined patterns in the leading causes of IMR. We compared these rates at both national and state levels to find reduction trends. Creating a cross-sectional time series of states' PMR and some explanatory variables, we implemented a fixed-effect regression model. Results: We found substantial state-level variations in changes of the IMR (range= -2.87 to 2.08) and PMR (-1.77 to 0.67). Twenty-one states in which the IMR declined more than the national average of 0.99 (6.89 to 5.90) were labeled as successful. In the successful states, we found a reduction in the PMR accounted for the largest decline in the IMR (0.90 fewer deaths). Changes in the other subgroups of leading causes did not differ significantly in successful and unsuccessful states. Policy Implications: Although its impact is not large, reducing the percentage of pregnant women with inadequate care is one of the mechanisms through which the PMR might decrease.

description: We generalize a result of the author about the classification of 1-connected 7-manifolds and demonstrate its use by two concrete applications, one to 2-connected 7-manifolds (a new proof -- and slightly different formulation -- of an up to now unpublished Theorem by Crowley and Nordstroem and one to simply connected 7-manifolds with the cohomology ring of $S^2 \times S^5 \sharp S^3 \times S^4$. The answer is in terms of generalized Kreck-Stolz invariants, which in the case of 2-connected 7-manifolds is equivalent to a quadratic refinement of the linking form and a generalized Eells-Kuiper invariant.

description: Introduction: Few recent data on the epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are available, especially in Southern Europe. Aim: To evaluate the prevalence, incidence and mortality of IBD in Catalonia during the period 2011–2016. Material and methods: Data on the prevalence, incidence and mortality of IBD were obtained from the Catalan Health Surveillance System (CHSS). Crude incidence and prevalence rates were calculated for all the Catalan population. Trends in age-sex-adjusted rates were also estimated, and logistic regression was used to calculate the adjusted mortality odds ratio (OR). Data for Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) were analyzed separately. Results: The prevalence per 100,000 inhabitants in 2016 was 353.9 for UC and 191.4 for CD. The total number of IBD patients rose from 29543 in 2011 to 40614 in 2016. IBD was associated with significantly elevated adjusted mortality ratios: 1.28 (95% CI: 1.6–1.4) for UC and 1.85 (95% CI: 1.62–2.12) for CD. Conclusions: IBD prevalence is very high and is increasing rapidly in Catalonia. Both CD and UC are associated with significantly higher mortality rates.Key messageCrohn disease and ulcerative colitis present a small but significant increase in mortality compared to non-inflammatory bowel disease.The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing rapidly in Catalonia.Data on prevalence and incidence suggest that the number of patients may double in approximately 10 years. Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis present a small but significant increase in mortality compared to non-inflammatory bowel disease. The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease is increasing rapidly in Catalonia. Data on prevalence and incidence suggest that the number of patients may double in approximately 10 years.

description: We explore the capabilities for new physics discovery in proton-antiproton collisions at 5.4 TeV center-of-mass energy with luminosity $10^{33} cm^{-2} s^{-1}$ at a Tripler upgrade of the Tevatron collider. The prospects are robust for the usual Higgs boson and supersymmetry benchmarks. With an integrated luminosity of 40 fb$^{-1}$, discoveries at 5$σ$ could be made for a standard Higgs boson of mass $\alt 680$ GeV (600 GeV for 10 fb$^{-1}$), a lighter chargino of mass $\alt 380$ GeV, and an extra $Z$ boson of mass $\alt 2.6$ TeV; four-fermion contact interactions from new physics with scale $\alt 74$ TeV could be excluded at the 95% confidence level.

description: It is shown that N=4 gauged supergravity in four dimensions is obtained by compactifying N=1 supergravity in ten dimensions on the group manifold $S^3\times S^3$. This could be further related to supergravity in eleven dimensions. Analysis of supersymmetry conditions of N=4 gauged supergravity in four dimensions reveals solutions which preserve 1/4 of the supersymmetries and are characterized by a BPS-monopole-type gauge field. These solutions are lifted to solutions of the ten and eleven dimensional theories.

description: We report on the investigation of an approach for modelling light transmission through systems consisting of several jointed optical fibres, in which the analytical modelling of the waveguides was replaced by Finite Element Modelling (FEM) simulations. To validate this approach we first performed FEM analysis of standard fibres and used this to evaluate the coupling efficiency between two singlemode fibres under different conditions. The results of these simulations were successfully compared with those obtained using classical analytical approaches, by demonstrating a maximum loss deviation of about 0.4 %. Further, we performed other more complex simulations that we compared again to the analytical models. FEM simulations allow addressing any type of guiding structure, without limitations on the complexity of the geometrical waveguide cross section and involved materials. We propose as example of application the modelling of the light transmitted through a system made of a hollow core photonic crystal fibre spliced between two singlemode standard optical fibres, and qualitatively compare the results of the simulation with experimental results.

description: In low-disorder, two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs), the fractional quantum Hall states at very small Landau level fillings ($ν$) terminate in a Wigner solid (WS) phase, where electrons arrange themselves in a periodic array. The WS is typically pinned by the residual disorder sites and manifests an insulating behavior, with non-linear current-voltage (\textit{I-V}) and noise characteristics. We report here, measurements on an ultra-low-disorder, dilute 2DES, confined to a GaAs quantum well. In the $ν< 1/5$ range, superimposed on a highly-insulating longitudinal resistance, the 2DES exhibits a developing fractional quantum Hall state at $ν=1/7$, attesting to its exceptional high quality, and dominance of electron-electron interaction in the low filling regime. In the nearby insulating phases, we observe remarkable non-linear \textit{I-V} and noise characteristics as a function of increasing current, with current thresholds delineating three distinct phases of the WS: a pinned phase (P1) with very small noise, a second phase (P2) in which $dV/dI$ fluctuates between positive and negative values and is accompanied by very high noise, and a third phase (P3) where $dV/dI$ is nearly constant and small, and noise is about an order of magnitude lower than in P2. In the depinned (P2 and P3) phases, the noise spectrum also reveals well-defined peaks at frequencies that vary linearly with the applied current, suggestive of washboard frequencies. We discuss the data in light of a recent theory that proposes different dynamic phases for a driven WS.
A Systematic Analysis of the Exclusive B -> K^* l^+ l^- Decay

description: A model-independent analysis for the exclusive, rare B -> K^* l^+ l^- decay is presented. Systematically studied are the experimentally measured quantities, such as, branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry, longitudinal polarization of the final leptons, and the ratio $Γ_L/Γ_T$ of the decay widths when $K^\ast$ meson is longitudinally and transversally polarized. The dependence of the asymmetry parameter $α= 2 Γ_L/Γ_T -1$ on the new Wilson coefficients is also studied in detail. It is found that the afore-mentioned physical observables are quite sensitive to the new Wilson coefficients. Therefore, once we have the experimental data with high statistics and a deviation from the Standard Model, we can interpret the source of such discrepancy.

description: Background and purpose — We noticed an increased use of dual mobility cups (DMC) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) despite limited knowledge of implant longevity. Therefore, we determined the trend over time and mid-term cup revision rates of DMC compared with unipolar cups (UC) in primary THA. Patients and methods — All primary THA registered in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI) during 2007–2016 were included (n = 215,953) and divided into 2 groups — DMC THA (n = 3,038) and UC THA (n = 212,915). Crude competing risk and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed with cup revision for any reason as primary endpoint. Adjustments were made for sex, age, diagnosis at primary THA, previous operation, ASA score, type of fixation, surgical approach, and femoral head size. Results — The proportion of primary DMC THA increased from 0.8% (n = 184) in 2010 to 2.6% (n = 740) in 2016. Patients who underwent DMC THA more often had a previous operation on the affected hip, a higher ASA score, and the diagnosis acute fracture or late posttraumatic status compared with the UC THA group. Overall 5-year cup revision rate was 1.5% (95% CI 1.0–2.3) for DMC and 1.4% (CI 1.3–1.4) for UC THA. Stratified analyses for patient characteristics showed no differences in cup revision rates between the 2 groups. Multivariable regression analyses showed no statistically significantly increased risk for revision for DMC THA (HR 0.9 [0.6–1.2]). Interpretation — The use of primary DMC THA increased with differences in patient characteristics. The 5-year cup revision rates for DMC THA and UC THA were comparable.

description: N-type doping in Si by shallow impurities, such as P, As and Sb, exhibits an intrinsic limit due to the Fermi-level pinning via defect complexes at high doping concentrations. Here we demonstrate that doping Si with the chalcogen Te by non-equilibrium processing, a deep double donor, can exceed this limit and yield higher electron concentrations. In contrast to shallow impurities, both the interstitial Te fraction decreases with increasing doping concentration and substitutional Te dimers become the dominant configuration as effective donors, leading to a non-saturating carrier concentration as well as to an insulator-to-metal transition. First-principle calculations reveal that the Te dimers possess the lowest formation energy and donate two electrons per dimer to the conduction band. These results provide novel insight into physics of deep impurities and lead to a possible solution for the ultra-high electron concentration needed in today's Si-based nanoelectronics.
