description: This study aimed to put constraints on regional and/or global environmental changes, which took place during the Frasnian-Famennian transition by using a geochemical multiproxy approach. The investigation of several key European Frasnian-Famennian boundary sections brings new geochemical evidences which emphasize the role of tectono-magmatic processes, like volcanism, hydrothermalism and major tectonic movements in the development of the particularities of the Kellwasser Horizons deposited close to the southern shores of Laurussia and the northern parts of Gondwana.

description: Private or State-Owned? Automobile Consumer Culture in the Soviet Union, the GDR, and Romania The article teases out the common features of a socialist consumer culture by taking three different national settings under scrutiny. Central to the inquiry is the automobile as one of the most prestigious artifacts in the Soviet Union, East Germany and Romania. The main contentious issue regarding the status of the automobile was whether cars should be awarded by the state to its most loyal citizens, bought freely, or rented from state companies. The exclusivist Stalinist consumer society was radically transformed in the postwar period due to internal political reconfiguration and the influence of the other block countries. This comparative study has shown that between Moscow and its satellites a vivid cultural exchange took place that coined the automobile culture of the last decades of socialism. The silent partner in this exchange was the West that made mass motorization around the private car its main characteristic also under socialism.

description: We construct the tensor hierarchy of generic, bosonic, 8-dimensional field theories. We first study the form of the most general 8-dimensional bosonic theory with Abelian gauge symmetries only and no massive deformations. This study determines the tensors that occur in the Chern-Simons terms of the (electric and magnetic) field strengths and the action for the electric fields, which we determine. Having constructed the most general Abelian theory we study the most general gaugings of its global symmetries and the possible massive deformations using the embedding tensor formalism, constructing the complete tensor hierarchy using the Bianchi identities. We find the explicit form of all the field strengths of the gauged theory up to the 6-forms. Finally, we find the equations of motion comparing the Noether identities with the identities satisfied by the Bianchi identities themselves. We find that some equations of motion are not simply the Bianchi identities of the dual fields, but combinations of them.

Modifications of the formalism to extend the validity to smaller separations using dynamic electric and magnetic dipole polarizability data are discussed

Zwischen „Erinnerungen“ und „dem Vergessen“ Ernest Renan Reloaded.
Creators: name: Troebst, Stefan
Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag

description: The founding father of comparative research on nationalism, Ernest Renan, has recently been re-discovered by a culturalist mainstream dealing with identity and memory. And indeed can his famous Sorbonne lecture of 1882 “What is a nation?“ be read as an answer to the question of “What is memory?”. The article exemplifies Renan’s influence as a theoretician of ‘memories’ (souvenirs) and ‘oblivion’ (l’oubli) by three recent texts. These are the revised and extended edition of 1991 of Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities. Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism, an essay by Jakob Tanner on Renan in the context of on ‘nation’, ‘communication’ and ‘memory’, published in 2001, as well as Aleida Assmann’s book of 2006 on cultures of remembrance and politics of history. As in the case of the ‘nation’ also concerning ‘memory’ Renan turns out to be an original though not systematic thinker well ahead of his time.

description: Several generations of geopolitically influenced experts were overwhelmed by the infrastructural achievements of the late 19th century. The whole world appeared to be partitioned into spheres of influence by means of technology. The power of opening up and developing foreign territories seemed to demonstrate a superior historical position of the ‘white race’. The Europeans felt reconfirmed in assuming the prevailing position being entitled to the principles of efficiency. Consequently the indigenous people as antipodes were often described in terms of laziness or with the need to be awakened to productive labour. However, the ideology of ‘development’, understood as a ‘civilizing mission’ that was based in an almost religious belief in the supremacy of European technology, did not merely spark competition among the colonial countries, its advancement also contributed to the imagination of a possible European ‘decline’ in the future. This article seeks to assess the ‘technocratic approach’ within the history of globalisation and its interrelation to images of European ‘progressive technology’ as mirrored in the colonial ‘other’.

description: The highly ambivalent modernist discourse about a progressive colonialism (“colonialisme de progrès“) climaxes with the “Exposition Coloniale Internationale“ in 1931. This contribution argues that its struggle for a ‚partnership‘ between the colonial population and the simultaneous supreme power of the metropolis (in a political sense as well as in an economical and cultural) prefigures the decay of the colonial era. The ambivalences between “citoyen“ and “sujet“ are discussed as a crisis of the interpellation by “La Plus Grande France“ which draws through the field of the visible and thus the spectacular within the “exhibition complex.“ By means of contemporary photographs and police files, both pointing especially to the role of the „indigènes“ working and performing on the exhibition ground, this contribution tracks the emerging formation of anti-colonial movements and resistances.

Das Imperium als historischer Auftrag –
Creators: name: Schumacher, Frank
Publisher: name: Leipziger Universitätsverlag
Year: 2009

description: Ethnographic displays were an integral feature of many of the World’s Fairs and international expositions. The display of ‘exotic’ races typically advanced powerful messages of civilizatory supremacy intended to provide imperial self-assurance and entertainment for the colonial metropolis. At the St. Louis World’s Fair of 1904 such anthropological exhibits reached unknown heights. The fair’s organizers hoped to introduce visitors to a coherent re-interpretation of the nation’s history of expansion and thus emphasized the perceived differences between European and U.S. approaches to colonial state-building. By grouping native Americans and Filipinos side-by-side, the fair underlined the benefits of a paternalistic ideology of uplift through education and re-interpreted the colonial project as an anti-colonial civilizing mission. Despite this emphasis on the perceived merits of the ‘benevolent assimilation’ of the colonial ‘other’, however, the fair’s daily reality with its pervasive racism and strong exoticism subverted, complicated, and contradicted this exercise in colonial imagination.

title: Behavioral Sex Differences Caused by Distinct Vasopressin Sources
Creators: name: Rigney, Nicole
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
Dysfunction in social communication is a prominent aspect of many psychopathologies and social disorders including autism, schizophrenia, and social anxiety. Consequently, development of clinical treatment for these disorders requires an understanding of neural circuitry underlying social communication. Sex differences are a persistent feature of social disorders, where autism is more prevalent in males, while social anxiety occurs more frequently in females. A critical gap in knowledge exists in understanding the role of sex-differences in the control of social behavior and communication. A reasonable hypothesis is that differences in neural circuitry underlie sex-differentiated dysfunctions in social behavior and communication. A well-studied circuit in this regard is the sexually dimorphic expression of the neuropeptide arginine vasopressin (AVP). AVP in the nervous system originates from several distinct sources which are, in turn, regulated by different inputs and regulatory factors. Using modern molecular approaches, we can begin to define the specific role of AVP cell populations in social behavior. We demonstrate a behavioral function for the sexually dimorphic AVP neurons in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN). Collectively, our results indicate that AVP cell groups appear to play opposite roles in social investigation by males and females, as BNST-AVP cell ablations and BNST AVP knockdown reduced male social approach, while PVN-AVP cell ablations increased female social approach. We next utilized circuit level tracing techniques to map the inputs and outputs of BNST and medial amygdala (MeA) AVP cells, which are the major source of sexually dimorphic AVP expression. Finally, we tested the function of several sexually dimorphic BNST-AVP projection areas, such as, the lateral septum (LS), lateral habenula (LHb), and dorsal raphe (DR). In male mice, but not female mice, optogenetic stimulation of the BNST AVP terminals in the LS increased their social investigation and anxiety-like behavior in the elevated-zero maze. Antagonism of V1aR in the LS blocked optogenetic-mediated increases in male social investigation and anxiety-like behavior. Therefore, activation of a distinct BNST-LS AVP circuit modulates sex-specific social approach and anxiety-like behavior, which is mediated by V1aR within the LS. This work suggests that sex differences in the neurochemical underpinnings of social behavior may contribute to sex differences in disorders of social behavior and communication.

On the existence of a local quasi hidden variable (LqHV) model for each N-qudit state and the maximal quantum violation of Bell inequalities

description: We specify the local quasi hidden variable (LqHV) model reproducing the probabilistic description of all N-partite joint von Neumann measurements on an N-qudit state. Via this local probability model, we derive a new upper bound on the maximal violation by an N-qudit state of N-partite Bell inequalities of any type (either on correlation functions or on joint probabilities) for S observables per site. This new upper bound not only improves for all N, S and d the corresponding results available for general Bell inequalities in the literature but also, for the N-qubit case with two observables per site, reduces exactly to the attainable upper bound known for quantum violations of correlation 2x...x2-setting Bell inequalities in a dichotomic case.

description: As cultural studies have shown, the South is – like the East or the Orient - more than simply a magnetic orientation. The South stands simultaneously for both backwardness and passivity whilst also for authenticity, naturalness, and an exotic touch. The same is also true for the Russian colonial discourse of the Crimean peninsula which was annexed in 783. This article describes and analyses the ambiguity of the recording of the Crimean South in colonial debates: The Northern Russian power, located in the cold, attempted to ´find´ a warm and beautiful supplement on the peninsula. Moreover the annexing of the peninsula was also intended to demonstrate the Russian ability to ´civilise´ the ´backward´ former Crimean Khanate with its Muslim population.

Starting from the Martin-Siggia-Rose path integral formalism for a single variable stochastic dynamics, we provide a pedagogical survey of the perturbative, i.e. diagrammatic, approach to dynamics and how this formalism can be used for studying soft spin models. We review the supersymmetric formulation of the Langevin dynamics of these models and discuss the physical implications of the supersymmetry. We also describe the key steps involved in studying the disorder-averaged dynamics. Finally, we discuss the path integral approach for the case of hard Ising spins and review some recent developments in the dynamics of such kinetic Ising models.

Wilhelminische Bürger und „germanische Arier“ im Spiegel des „Primitiven“ –

description: Wilhelmine Citizens and “Germanic Aryans” in the Mirror of the “Primitive” – Ambivalences of a Mimicry of the Colonial ‘Other’ Towards the end of the nineteenth century, ethnology was on the threshold of being established as a university discipline. Anthropologists and ethnographers endeavored to lend the new discipline stronger legitimacy and to explain its relevance to their contemporaries. The function of the “primitive” in all this was in many respects ambivalent. On the one hand, from an evolutionist perspective, the social order of indigenous peoples marked an earlier stage of development within a long civilizing process that culminated in western societies. To the degree that the indigenous Other was declared to be the origin and likeness of the western Self, however, the difference between the “primitive” beginning and the “civilized” end melted away. While the discourse on male societies (Männerbund) – which was continued in the “ritualist school” of German studies and archaeology at the University of Vienna – claimed to have discovered universally applicable types, thus implying a fundamental sameness between European and non-European cultures, that very discourse also propagated the racial uniqueness of the “Germanic Aryan,” which stood in direct contradiction to the assumption of universality. Following Homi Bhabha, my contribution is concerned less with dismissing such ambivalences as irrational and absurd than with identifying them as integral components of the colonial discourse and uncovering their mechanics and effects.

description: We apply variational principles from statistical physics and the Landau theory of phase transitions to multicomponent alloys using the multiple-scattering theory of Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) and the coherent potential approximation (CPA). This theory is a multicomponent generalization of the $S^{(2)}$ theory of binary alloys developed by G. M. Stocks, J. B. Staunton, D. D. Johnson and others. It is highly relevant to the chemical phase stability of high-entropy alloys as it predicts the kind and size of finite-temperature chemical fluctuations. In doing so it includes effects of rearranging charge and other electronics due to changing site occupancies. When chemical fluctuations grow without bound an absolute instability occurs and a second-order order-disorder phase transition may be inferred. The S$^{(2)}$ theory is predicated on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem; thus we derive the linear response of the CPA medium to perturbations in site-dependent chemical potentials in great detail. The theory lends itself to a natural interpretation in terms of competing effects: entropy driving disorder and favorable pair interactions driving atomic ordering. To further clarify interpretation we present results for representative ternary alloys CuAgAu, NiPdPt, RhPdAg, and CoNiCu within a frozen charge (or band-only) approximation. These results include the so-called Onsager mean field correction that extends the temperature range for which the theory is valid.

description: The dynamics of coupled condensates is a wide-encompassing problem with relevance to superconductors, BECs in traps, superfluids, etc. Here, we provide a unified picture of this fundamental problem that includes i) detuning of the free energies, ii) different self-interaction strengths and iii) finite lifetime of the modes. At such, this is particularly relevant for the dynamics of polaritons, both for their internal dynamics between their light and matter constituents, as well as for the more conventional dynamics of two spatially separated condensates. Polaritons are short-lived, interact only through their material fraction and are easily detuned. At such, they bring several variations to their atomic counterpart. We show that the combination of these parameters results in important twists to the phenomenology of the Josephson effect, such as the behaviour of the relative phase (running or oscillating) or the occurrence of self-trapping. We undertake a comprehensive stability analysis of the fixed points on a normalized Bloch sphere, that allows us to provide a generalized criterion to identify the Rabi and Josephson regimes in presence of detuning and decay.

description: Negotiating Decolonization in the Classroom: French-Lebanese Interaction during the Mandate Period (1920–1943) This article deals with the history of French schools in Lebanon during the mandate period (1920–1943) and examines their contribution to the process of decolonization in Lebanon. It argues that French institutions of catholic, protestant, jewish and secular obedience constituted places where decolonization was negotiated between the different actors involved in the activities of the schools (French and Lebanese staff of the schools, their superiors of their head offices in France, the politicians and bureaucrats of the French government in Paris and Beirut and the Lebanese parents and notables). On the one hand, as the article demonstrates, their interaction stengthened the French colonial presence in Lebanon. On the other hand, however, the French schools also constituted spaces for nationalistic claims from different Lebanese nationalists. As a result of different clienteles and differing relations with the French government, French schools either witnessed the former or the latter aspect.

description: The last IceCube catalog of High Energy Starting Events (HESE) obtained with a livetime of 1347 days comprises 54 neutrino events equally-distributed between the three families with energies between 25 TeV and few PeVs. Considering the homogeneous flavors distribution (1:1:1) and the spectral features of these neutrinos the IceCube collaboration claims the astrophysical origin of these events with more than $5σ$. The spatial distribution of cited events does not show a clear correlation with known astrophysical accelerators leaving opened both the Galactic and the extra-Galactic origin interpretations. Here, we compute the neutrino diffuse emission of our Galaxy on the basis of a recently proposed phenomenological model characterized by radially-dependent cosmic-ray (CR) transport properties. We show that the astrophysical spectrum measured by IceCube experiment can be well explained adding to the diffuse Galactic neutrino flux (obtained with this new model) a extra-Galactic component derived from the astrophysical muonic neutrinos reconstructed in the Northern hemisphere. A good agreement between the expected astrophysical neutrino flux and the IceCube data is found for the full sky as well as for the Galactic plane region.

description: The Standard Model of particle physics encapsulates our current best understanding of physics at the smallest distances and highest energies. It incorporates Quantum Electrodynamics (the quantised version of Maxwell's electromagnetism) and the weak and strong interactions, and has survived unmodified for decades, save for the inclusion of non-zero neutrino masses after the observation of neutrino oscillations in the late 1990s. It describes a vast array of data over a wide range of energy scales. I review a selection of these successes, including the remarkably successful prediction of a new scalar boson, a qualitatively new kind of object observed in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider. New calculational techniques and experimental advances challenge the Standard Model across an ever-wider range of phenomena, now extending significantly above the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. I will outline some of the consequences of these new challenges, and briefly discuss what is still to be found.

description: Der Beitrag untersucht den Zusammenhang von Vorstellungen über Natur / Umwelt und Visionen asiatischer Entwicklung. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei das Verhältnis von Krankheit, Gesundheitspolitik und Entwicklung. Rekonstruiert wird ein Prozess früher optimistischer Erwartungen in menschliche Fähigkeit, mit Hilfe von Technologie Natur zu meistern, hin zu einer pessimistischen Einsicht, dass dies nur begrenzt möglich ist. Asiatische Nationalisten und Sozialreformer rekurrierten auf koloniale Diskurse über das tropische Asien, waren jedoch davon überzeugt, dass Technik die Umwelt beherrschbar machen konnte. Ausdruck dieser Überzeugung war die globale Kampagne zur Ausrottung der Malaria, deren Schwerpunkt in Asien lag. Krankheitserreger machten jedoch nicht vor Grenzen halt, innerhalb derer Entwicklung zunehmend definiert wurde. Ebenso blieben Krankheiten ein Charakteristikum urbaner Räume. Zu Beginn der sechziger Jahre griffen Beobachter daher wieder auf vom Kolonialismus eingeführte Vorstellungen über die Unbeherrschbarkeit tropischer Natur zurück: nicht staatliche Institutionen oder nationale Entwicklungspolitik erschienen verantwortlich für die Persistenz von Armut, sondern Natur und Umwelt.

description: Ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) have the sizes of giant galaxies but the luminosities of dwarfs. A key to understanding their origins comes from their total masses, but their low surface brightnesses ($μ(V) \geq$ 25.0) generally prohibit dynamical studies. Here we report the first such measurements for a UDG (VCC~1287 in the Virgo cluster), based on its globular cluster system dynamics and size. From 7 GCs we measure a mean systemic velocity $v_{\rm sys}$ = 1071$^{+14}_{-15}$ km/s, thereby confirming a Virgo-cluster association. We measure a velocity dispersion of 33$^{+16}_{-10}$ km/s within 8.1 kpc, corresponding to an enclosed mass of $(4.5 \pm 2.8)\times10^{9}$ $M_{\odot}$ and a $g$-band mass-to-light ratio of $(M/L)_g = 106^{+126}_{-54}$. From the cumulative mass curve, along with the GC numbers, we estimate a virial mass of $\sim8\times10^{10}$ $M_{\odot}$, yielding a dark-to-stellar mass fraction of $\sim3000$. We show that this UDG is an outlier in $M_{\rm star} - M_{\rm halo}$ relations, suggesting extreme stochasticity in relatively massive star-forming halos in clusters. Finally, we discuss how counting GCs offers an efficient route to determining virial masses for UDGs.

description: John Foster Dulles gilt nicht gerade als Befürworter einer aktiven amerikanischen Politik der Entwicklungskooperation. Diese Interpretation, so der Beitrag, bedarf einer Korrektur. Fragen der Entwicklungskooperation bewegten den amerikanischen Außenminister sehr wohl. Dies galt insbesondere mit Blick auf Asien. Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit seinen Vorstellungen über Entwicklung und Entwicklungspolitik, die sich an den Reformimpulsen Woodrow Wilsons und zeitgenössischen Überlegungen zur Rolle von Entwicklungspolitik im Kalten Krieg orientierten. Untersucht werden die Diskrepanz zwischen Rhetorik und politischem Handeln, die Zwänge des amerikanischen politischen Systems und die Bedingungen, unter denen eine damals noch experimentelle Entwicklungspolitik überhaupt möglich waren.

description:
This essay will review Spanglish scholarship, its different geographic locations, and various academic discourses surrounding the breadth and possibility of its application in undergraduate course instruction. Spanglish intervenes and influences Latinx communities lifestyles and choices outside the academic sphere of theory and concept. How citizenship, social status, race, ethnicity, politics, and power of language can be examined through the framework and pedagogical tool of Spanglish. I will identify and address the barriers that gender, race, ability, sexuality, ethnicity, and otherness may produce. Students diverse backgrounds in higher education classrooms allow for communication and understanding through lenses that their fellow peers may have never experienced. I argue that Spanglish can be a useful pedagogical tool in multidisciplinary undergraduate courses.

description: We give an overview of progress on homogeneous Einstein metrics on large classes of homogeneous manifolds, such as generalized flag manifolds and Stiefel manifolds. The main difference between these two classes of homogeneous spaces is that their isotropy representation does not contain/contain equivalent summands. We also discuss a third class of homogeneous spaces that falls into the intersection of such dichotomy, namely the generalized Wallach spaces. We give new invariant Einstein metrics on the Stiefel manifold $V_5\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\ge 7$) and through this example we show how to prove existence of invariant Einstein metrics by manipulating parametric systems of polynomial equations. This is done by using Gröbner bases techniques. Finally, we discuss some open problems.

description: Die amerikanische Entwicklungskooperation mit südostasiatischen Staaten während der fünfziger Jahre ist Thema dieses Beitrags. In einem ersten Teil werden die ideellen und institutionellen Grundlagen amerikanischer Entwicklungspolitik beleuchtet. Anschließend werden deren regionale Prämissen diskutiert. Schließlich geht der Beitrag näher auf die amerikanische Entwicklungspolitik gegenüber Indonesien und Süd­Vietnam ein. Die Beispiele machen das Bemühen deutlich, südostasiatische Länder mit Hilfe von Entwicklungspolitik im Sinne amerikanischer Modernisierungsvorstellungen zu verändern. Deutlich werden aber auch die Möglichkeiten südostasiatischer Staaten, diesen Modernisierungsprojekten enge Grenzen zu setzen. Der Beitrag ordnet sich damit in neuere Interpretationen des Kalten Krieges als einem perizentrischen System ein, das kleineren Akteuren erhebliche Handlungsautonomie zuspricht.

description: We address the problem of diffusion on a comb whose teeth display a varying length. Specifically, the length $\ell$ of each tooth is drawn from a probability distribution displaying the large-$\ell$ behavior $P(\ell) \sim \ell^{-(1+α)}$ ($α>0$). Our method is based on the mean-field description provided by the well-tested CTRW approach for the random comb model, and the obtained analytical result for the diffusion coefficient is confirmed by numerical simulations. We subsequently incorporate retardation effects arising from binding/unbinding kinetics into our model and obtain a scaling law characterizing the corresponding change in the diffusion coefficient. Finally, our results for the diffusion coefficient are used as an input to compute concentration recovery curves mimicking FRAP experiments in comb-like geometries such as spiny dendrites. We show that such curves cannot be fitted perfectly by a model based on scaled Brownian motion, i.e., a standard diffusion equation with a time-dependent diffusion coefficient. However, differences between the exact curves and such fits are small, thereby providing justification for the practical use of models relying on scaled Brownian motion as a fitting procedure for recovery curves arising from particle diffusion in comb-like systems.

description: Der Beitrag untersucht die langfristigen Wirkungen kolonialer Herrschaft auf die sozioökonomische Entwicklung Pakistans und beleuchtet die entwicklungspolitischen Anstrengungen des Landes in den ersten drei Jahrzehnten staatlicher Unabhängigkeit. Die hier behandelte Epoche begann und endete mit einschneidenden Ereignissen: mit der Gewinnung staatlicher Unabhängigkeit infolge der Teilung Britisch Indiens im Jahre 1947 und dem Sturz der zivilen Regierung durch das Militär. Die entwicklungspolitischen Aktivitäten dieser Jahre spiegeln emblematisch die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen wider, denen viele Länder des entkolonisierten ‚global South’ ausgesetzt waren. Die Diskussion soll zeigen, dass die Dekolonisierung, hier verstanden als ein Prozess der Gewinnung staatlicher Souveränität, aus sozioökonomischer Perspektive keineswegs als eine Zäsur aufgefasst werden kann.

description: Cancer is the most common causes of death from chronic disease among children. Advances in genomic sequencing technology enables new treatment approaches, one of which is genomically guided precision medicine to be applied in patients with poor prognosis. Despite the promising benefits of precision medicine, evidence of this treatment approach being cost-effective is limited. The purpose of this thesis was to address gap in the current evidence using a meticulous and rigorous methodological approach. This thesis addressed two key objectives: (1) to provide comprehensive estimates of the hospitalisation utilisation and cost of childhood cancers; and (2) to develop a microsimulation model assessing the cost-effectiveness of precision medicine in childhood cancers. Modelling cost-effectiveness of precision medicine is complicated, designed to identify biomarkers that occur at either a low or unknown frequency across diseases. This heterogeneity of cohorts within such clinical trials makes modelling them using commonly used decision trees, or Markov Chain models challenging. Thus, microsimulation methods which are designed to capture heterogeneity were used. The hospitalisation costs of childhood cancers were determined via linking multiple administrative datasets. The linked datasets form the base population of a microsimulation model, Paediatric Cancer MOD (PeCanMOD), developed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of applying nextgeneration sequencing and precision medicine in childhood cancers. Childhood cancers utilised a disproportionate amount of health care resources. The estimated median annual cost of hospitalization in the first-year post-diagnosis was AU$88,964 for patients diagnosed between 0-14 years old and AU$23,384 for patients diagnosed between 15-17 years old. Majority of the cost of hospital admissions occurred in the first-year post-diagnosis, accounting for more than 70% of hospital costs within 5 years post-diagnosis. PeCanMOD was demonstrated to be suitable for handling the complicated treatment algorithms commonly found in precision medicine trials. Output from PeCanMOD suggested that introducing precision medicine as last line of treatment in childhood cancers is unlikely to be cost-effective at this point. The overall incremental costs per QALY gained was over AU$300,000. However, a costeffective outcome could be achieved with a higher proportion of patients treated with precision medicine, combined with lower drug and sequencing costs and improved survival outcome.
