E05765: Latin inscription in mosaic in the apse of the church of S. Agnese fuori le mura on the via Nomentana, Rome, built by Pope Honorius I (625-638). The inscribed poem praises the beauty of the scene depicted above: the crowning by God of *Agnes (virgin and martyr of Rome, S00097) with a martyr's crown, and the offering of the basilica to her by Honorius. An inscription on the same mosaic labels the image of Agnes.

description: The inscription, divided into three columns, is on the mosaic of the apse, in its lower register; above is the image of Agnes, flanked by Pope Honorius, offering her the basilica, and a cleric holding a book:

+ aurea concisis surgit pictura metallis
et conplexa simul clauditur ipsa dies,
fontibus e niveis credas aurora subire
correptas nubes, roribus arva rigans,

vel qualem inter sidera lucem proferet irim
purpureusque pavo ipse colore nitens.
qui potuit noctis vel lucis reddere finem
martyrum e bustis hinc reppulit ille chaos.

'You see how the golden picture rises from precious tesserae, as though daylight is enclosed in its clasp. You would think that the clouds rose up, hastened at dawn from snowy sources, and [daylight] scattered the fields with dew or the purple peacock, shining with its own colour, displayed its light like the rainbow through the stars. He who can give an end to nights or lights, from here has repulsed chaos from the tombs of the martyrs. What each sees with a single upward glance, these beautiful votive offerings, the prelate Honorius gave. By clothes and deeds he is marked, the edge of his [garment] shines, bearing the aspect of bright hearts.'

The figure of Agnes, shown in the mosaic above, is labelled above her head:

description: The employment of service robots in restaurants has become increasingly common. Previous studies have explored the factors related to the impact of service robots on consumers from multiple perspectives, but this topic still lacks an integrated empirical study to organize and analyze the conclusions of previous studies. This study obtained 46 empirical studies through the WoS and Scopus databases. Based on the conclusions and data of these studies and guided by the SOR theory, a holistic conceptual framework was constructed to describe how service robots affect restaurant consumers. This study tested the conceptual framework of the construct through meta-analysis and verified the moderating role of macro variables such as time and culture. This study not only has theoretical significance for future research but can also provide practical guidance for restaurant managers in the application and deployment of service robots.

description: Although influenza A viruses predominate globally, influenza B viruses are responsible for a significant and often underappreciated burden. Despite this, immunity to influenza B viruses remains understudied, and there is a perception that vaccine-mediated immune responses to influenza B strains are less robust than influenza A strains. This targeted literature review examines this concept using data from pivotal phase 3 immunogenicity studies on currently licensed seasonal influenza vaccines and explores several explanations for this phenomenon, including immune exposure history, assay limitations, virus-related properties inherent to B lineages, and strain mismatch. Overall, studies demonstrated vaccines induce variable and sometimes less robust immune responses to influenza B strains; however, further studies are needed to fully confirm and understand these observations. In identifying the potential causes of variable performance of current vaccines against influenza, this review aims to guide vaccine development to enhance overall vaccine performance and reduce disease burden worldwide.

description: Some patients may develop adverse events during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy, influencing response rates. The roles of intestinal microbiome and its metabolites in therapeutic adverse events remain unclear. We collected baseline fecal samples from 21 patients with adverse events (AE group) and 11 patients without adverse events (Non-AE group). Their microbiota and metabolome were characterized using metagenomic shotgun sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. At the species level, the gut microbiota in the Non-AE group exhibits significantly higher abundance of Clostridium sp. Alistipes sp. and lower abundance of Lachnoclostridium sp. Weissella cibaria, Weissella confusa, compared to the AE group (p < .05). A total of 58 discriminative metabolites were identified between groups. Beta-alanine metabolism was scattered. Boc-beta-cyano-L-alanine and CoQ9 were significantly increased in patients without adverse events, while linoleic acid increased in patients with adverse events. The increased Alistipes sp. in the Non-AE group was positively correlated with Boc-beta-cyano-L-alanine and negatively correlated with linoleic acid (p < .05). We constructed a combined microbiome-metabolite model to distinguish Non-AE and AE patients with an AUC of 0.963 via the random forest algorithm. Our findings provided a novel insight into the interplay of multispecies microbial cluster and metabolites of rectal patients with adverse events in neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with immunotherapy. These microbiota and metabolites deserve further investigations to reveal their roles in adverse events, providing clues for better treatment scenarios.

Ἀρέταρχος δὲ ὁ παρ’ ἡμῖν οὗτος σοφιστής, ὃς εἴτε ἄσοφός ἐστι μᾶλλον εἴτε ἄπιστος εἰπεῖν οὐκ ἔχω—καὶ γὰρ ὁμοίως ἑκάτερον ἀκμάζει τε παρ’ αὐτῷ καὶ τέθηλεν, ὡς καὶ δύσκριτον εἶναι τὴν θατέρου τούτοιν ὑπεροχήν—, δοκεῖ δὲ ὅμως εἶναι σοφιστής, οὗτος βαρυτάτῳ μάλιστα πάθει τῷ τῶν νεφρῶν περιπεσών, ὡς καὶ θάνατον ἐλπίσαι πολλάκις ἐκ τῆς ἄγαν ὀδύνης καὶ θανάτου ἐρασθῆναι δι’ ὑπερβολὴν τῆς ὀδύνης, ἔτυχε δὲ ὅμως βοηθείας καὶ σωτηρίας παρὰ τῆς μάρτυρος, εἰπούσης ἔσεσθαι φάρμακον αὐτῷ καὶ ἄκος τοῦ πάθους ἀψευδέστατον ἄλλο μὲν οὐδέν, τὸ δὲ νυκτιαῖον τοῦ φωτὸς τοῦ καὶ τὸν αὐτῆς καταλάμποντος ἀεὶ χῶρον ἔλαιον. Ὅπερ καὶ αἰτήσας οὗτος, καὶ ἐπαλειψάμενος οὗ καὶ τὸ πάθος ὑπέσμυχε, τῆς μὲν ἰάσεως ἔτυχε, τῆς δὲ ἀσεβείας οὐκ ἀπηλλάγη· ὑπὸ γὰρ ἀγχινοίας πολλῆς καὶ βαθείας φρενὸς εἰπὼν καὶ ὁμολογήσας τὴν παρεσχηκυῖαν τὸ φάρμακον, ἑτέρῳ τὴν χάριν ἀνατίθησι τῆς θεραπείας. «Ὁ γὰρ Σαρπηδόνιός μοι, φησί, τὸ ζητῆσαί τε παρ’ αὐτῆς καὶ λαβεῖν προσέταξεν.»

'I cannot say whether Aretarchos, the sophist from our town [Seleucia ad Calycadnum], is famous more for his lack of wisdom or for being a nonbeliever – for both qualities flourish and throve in such equal measure in him that it is difficult to tell which of the two is his dominant trait – but nevertheless he passes for a sophist. This man once contracted an exceedingly severe disease of the kidneys, so that often he expected death on account of the intense pain, and even longed for death because of the excessive nature of the pain. Even so, he obtained assistance and deliverance through the martyr, who told him that the remedy and cure of his suffering would be nothing other than the oil from the lamp that through the night constantly illuminates her sanctuary. He asked for it and smeared it on the spot where the illness was smoldering. He obtained healing, but was not delivered from his impiety. For, although with much wisdom and a profound mind he confessed that the martyr had provided the remedy, he rendered thanks for the healing to another.

"Sarpedonios instructed me," he said, "to ask the martyr for the cure and receive it from her."

The author then mocks the protagonist Aretarchos' explanation, saying that if the Sarpedonian Apollo could have had the remedy for the supplicant, he would not have sent him to the martyr who was his enemy at that.

description: We provide estimates for (I) annual herpes zoster (HZ) cases, (II) carbon costs related to healthcare utilization, and (III) annual carbon emissions due to HZ among ≥50 years of age (YOA) United States (US) population. We estimated the annual number of HZ cases in the US based on available incidence data and demographic data of individuals ≥50 YOA. Both the healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) associated with HZ cases and the unit carbon dioxide equivalent (i.e. CO2e) costs associated with each type of HCRU in the US were estimated based on literature and studies available online. The carbon footprint associated with HZ annually among US adults ≥50 YOA was estimated by multiplying the unit carbon estimates by the HCRU. In the US population aged ≥50 YOA in 2020 (i.e. approximately 118 million), approximately 1.1 million cases of HZ occur annually assuming no vaccination. Based on 2 sources of HCRU the average kgCO2e per HZ patient ranged from 61.0 to 97.6 kgCO2e, with values by age group ranging from 40.9 kgCO2e in patients aged 50–59 to 195.9 kgCO2e in patients ≥80 YOA. The total annual HZ associated carbon ranged between 67,000 and 107,000 tons of CO2e in the US population aged ≥50 YOA. The impact of HZ on carbon footprint in the US results in considerable greenhouse gas (GHG)emissions. Assuming no vaccination, the burden of HZ is projected to rise over the coming years with the aging populations consequently worsening its impact on GHG emissions. (Figure 1)

On the early stages of vapor bubble growth: From the surface-tension to the inertial regime

description: This paper presents a new analytical model for the early stages of vapor bubble growth in superheated liquids. The model bridges a gap in current knowledge by focusing on the surface tension-controlled, near-equilibrium growth regime and its transition to an inertia-controlled regime. A unified analytical model is derived by combining a perturbation method for the initial growth regime with a complementary outer solution to model the subsequent bubble growth rate. The model successfully predicts the initial delay in bubble growth due to surface tension effects. Two non-dimensional parameters govern this delay period: the initial perturbation from the equilibrium radius and the Ohnesorge number at the onset of nucleation. The Ohnesorge number encapsulates the interplay between viscous damping and surface tension forces acting on the bubble during its early growth stages. The analytical solutions presented here allow for quantifying the surface-tension, inertial, and transitional regimes while establishing a simple criterion for estimating the influence of thermal effects on early-stage growth. Our findings emphasize the significance of considering the surface tension delay, particularly for short timescales. The derived analytical solutions and the obtained correlation for surface-tension-induced delay may prove a practical tool and could be integrated into existing models of vapor bubble growth.

description: Current influenza vaccines could be augmented by including recombinant neuraminidase (rNA) protein antigen to broaden protective immunity and improve efficacy. Toward this goal, we investigated formulation conditions to optimize rNA physicochemical stability. When rNA in sodium phosphate saline buffer (NaPBS) was frozen and thawed (F/T), the tetrameric structure transitioned from a “closed” to an “open” conformation, negatively impacting functional activity. Hydrogen deuterium exchange experiments identified differences in anchorage binding sites at the base of the open tetramer, offering a structural mechanistic explanation for the change in conformation and decreased functional activity. Change to the open configuration was triggered by the combined stresses of acidic pH and F/T. The desired closed conformation was preserved in a potassium phosphate buffer (KP), minimizing pH drop upon freezing and including 10% sucrose to control F/T stress. Stability was further evaluated in thermal stress studies where changes in conformation were readily detected by ELISA and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Both tests were suitable indicators of stability and antigenicity and considered potential critical quality attributes (pCQAs). To understand longer-term stability, the pCQA profiles from thermally stressed rNA at 6 months were modeled to predict stability of at least 24-months at 5°C storage. In summary, a desired rNA closed tetramer was maintained by formulation selection and monitoring of pCQAs to produce a stable rNA vaccine candidate. The study highlights the importance of understanding and controlling vaccine protein structural and functional integrity.

Modeling, Simulation and Comparison of Lunar Thermal  Water Extraction Methods for Space Resource Utilizatio

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: In-situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) is considered to be the key to consistent and sustainable human space exploration. Especially water is one of the most essential resources since it can be used for both life support and rocket fuel production. For that, is important to know what methods are most suitable to obtain water and what parameters may influence the extraction process. This work covers the simulation and comparison of three different thermal water extraction methods: 1) in-situ surface heating, 2) heated drills, and 3) heating inside a crucible after excavation. A parameter study was conducted investigating the influence of varying icy deposits from 1 wt.% to 15 wt.% and power inputs of max. 2,5 kW on the average extraction rate and energy efficiency of the system. Given the low fidelity ofthe designs, the evaluation also includes criteria like lifetime, water ice accessibility, and complexity.In general, especially the low thermal conductivity of the regolith was shown as a major bottleneck for thermal extraction. Furthermore, the water content of the soil was determined to have the biggest impact on the yield by greatly influencing the thermophysical properties of the regolith.It was found that the crucible was the best-performing method due to being thermally insulated and a completely closed system reaching an average extraction rate of up to ~ 0,9 kg/h for an optimized heating time (surface heating: ~ 0,09 kg/h; heated rods: ~ 0,32 kg/h). Yet, the design has downsides regarding the lifetime and complexitycompared to both surface heating and heating via drills, which need to be consideredfor individual mission objectives.

description: Superposed photon-added and photon-subtracted squeezed-vacuum states exhibit sub-Planck phase-space structures and metrological potential similar to the original compass states (superposition of four coherent states), but are more closely tied to modern experiments. Here, we observe that these compasslike states are highly susceptible to loss of quantum coherence when placed in contact with a thermal reservoir; that is, the interaction with the thermal reservoir causes decoherence, which progressively suppresses the capacity of these states to exhibit interference traits. We focus on the sub-Planck structures of these states and find that decoherence effects on these features are stronger with increasing the average thermal photon number of the reservoir, the squeezing parameter, or the quantity of added (or subtracted) photons to the squeezed-vacuum states. Furthermore, we observe that the sub-Planck structures of the photon-subtracted case survive comparatively longer in the thermal reservoir than their counterparts in the photon-added case, and prolonged contact with the thermal reservoir converts these compasslike states into a classical state.

description: Infection-induced SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence has been studied worldwide. At Juntendo University Hospital (JUH) in Tokyo, Japan, we have consistently conducted serological studies using the blood residue of healthcare workers (HCWs) at annual health examinations since 2020. In this 2023 study (n = 3,594), N-specific seroprevalence (infection-induced) was examined while univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to compute ORs of seroprevalence with respect to basic characteristics of participants. We found that the N-specific seroprevalence in 2023 was 54.1%—a jump from 17.7% in 2022, and 1.6% in 2021—with 37.9% as non-PCR-confirmed asymptomatic infection cases. Those younger than 50 (adjusted OR = 1.62; p < .001) and recipients with 4 doses or less of vaccine had a higher risk to be N-positive, ranging from 1.45 times higher for the participants with 4 doses (p < .001) to 4.31 times higher for the participants with 1 dose (p < .001), compared to those with 5 or more doses. Our findings indicate that robust vaccination programs may have helped alleviate symptoms but consequently caused asymptomatic spread in this hospital, especially among younger HCWs. Although having four doses or less was found to be associated with higher risk of infection, the optimal constitution and intervals for effective booster vaccines warrant further investigations.

Abstract:

There are many different notions of bias and fairness. When comparing subpopulations, an especially important dichotomy is between (1) equal or equitable average outcomes and (2) equal or equitable treatment. In the particular context considered here, "equal treatment" and "equal opportunity" are not too different. However, comparing the average outcome of one subpopulation to another is different and sometimes less desirable than comparing the outcomes of pairs of individuals (one individual from each subpopulation) for which the individuals in each pair are similar. The latter requires comparing outcomes via "conditioning on" or "controlling for" confounding covariates.

Conditioning on or controlling for variates helps compare only those who are comparable. That often means matching up people by their age or income, for example, and then looking at differences in results between people with similar ages or similar incomes. Yet that raises the question: how many people with exactly the same age or exactly the same income are in the data? If there are too few, they will be unrepresentative. When there are too few, the randomness in the results fails to average away. This would seem to call for matching up people whose ages or incomes are only close, but not exactly the same. How close is "close"? Does it matter?

Choosing how close is "close" turns out to make all the difference. In many cases, the data can be made to support any arbitrary conclusion simply by manipulating how close is considered "close." Conventionally, adjusting data for covariates such as age and income often ends up fudging the numbers, spinning facts or figures. Even the well-intentioned are susceptible to confirmation bias, cherry-picking, or otherwise making the data merely confirm expectations.

This tutorial shows how to avoid setting how close is "close." Without any parameter to tune, the tutorial's graphical methods and scalar summary statistics cannot mislead, not even in principle. These methods are thus well-suited for assessing bias, fairness, reliability, the calibration of predicted probabilities, and other treatment effects. The analysis applies to observational studies as well as to randomized controlled trials, including A/B tests. The most common use case is for analyzing the predictions or other outputs of machine-learned models.

description: Emerging SARS-CoV-2 sublineages continue to cause serious COVID-19 disease, but most individuals have not received any COVID-19 vaccine for >1 year. Assessment of long-term effectiveness of bivalent COVID-19 vaccines against circulating sublineages is important to inform the potential need for vaccination with updated vaccines. In this test-negative study at Kaiser Permanente Southern California, sequencing-confirmed BA.4/BA.5- or XBB-related SARS-CoV-2-positive cases (September 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023), were matched 1:3 to SARS-CoV-2-negative controls. We assessed mRNA-1273 bivalent relative (rVE) and absolute vaccine effectiveness (VE) compared to ≥2 or 0 doses of original monovalent vaccine, respectively. The rVE analysis included 20,966 cases and 62,898 controls. rVE (95%CI) against BA.4/BA.5 at 14–60 days and 121–180 days was 52.7% (46.9–57.8%) and 35.5% (−2.8–59.5%) for infection, and 59.3% (49.7–67.0%) and 33.2% (−28.2–68.0%) for Emergency Department/Urgent Care (ED/UC) encounters. For BA.4/BA.5-related hospitalizations, rVE was 71.3% (44.9–85.1%) and 52.0% (−1.2–77.3%) at 14–60 days and 61–120 days, respectively. rVE against XBB at 14–60 days and 121–180 days was 48.8% (33.4–60.7%) and −3.9% (−18.1–11.3%) for infection, 70.7% (52.4–82.0%) and 15.7% (−6.0–33.2%) for ED/UC encounters, and 87.9% (43.8–97.4%) and 57.1% (17.0–77.8%) for hospitalization. VE and subgroup analyses (age, immunocompromised status, previous SARS-CoV-2 infection) results were similar to rVE analyses. rVE of mRNA-1273 bivalent vaccine against BA.4/BA.5 and XBB infections, ED/UC encounters, and hospitalizations waned over time. Periodic revaccination with vaccines targeting emerging variants may be important in reducing COVID-19 morbidity and mortality.

description: We investigate spatially inhomogeneous solutions in a top-down holographic model: the D3/D7 model which provides a holographic description of the chiral phase transition for a finite external magnetic field, chemical potential, and temperature. We numerically find a domain wall (or kink) solution in the three dimensional space, which incorporates between the chiral symmetry broken phase at the spatial infinity, under the homogeneous sources. Along with the inhomogeneity of the chiral condensate, the charge density is also spatially modulated. The modulated charge density and finite magnetic field lead to the chiral edge current close to the domain wall. We explore the dependences of those profiles on the chemical potential and temperature near the first and second order phase transition points. Our results indicate that the inhomogeneous solutions we found are in good agreement with those obtained by the Ginzburg--Landau theory in the vicinity of the transition points.

description: Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is an acute life-threatening infection caused by the gram-negative bacterium, Neisseria meningitidis. Globally, there are approximately half a million cases of IMD each year, with incidence varying across geographical regions. Vaccination has proven to be successful against IMD, as part of controlling outbreaks, and when incorporated into national immunization programs. The South-Eastern Europe Meningococcal Advocacy Group (including representatives from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Ukraine) was formed in order to discuss the potential challenges of IMD faced in the region. The incidence of IMD across Europe has been relatively low over the past decade; of the countries that came together for the South-Eastern Meningococcal Advocacy Group, the notification rates were lower than the European average for some country. The age distribution of IMD cases was highest in infants and children, and most countries also had a further peak in adolescents and young adults. Across the nine included countries between 2010 and 2020, the largest contributors to IMD were serogroups B and C; however, each individual country had distinct patterns for serogroup distribution. Along with the variations in epidemiology of IMD between the included countries, vaccination policies also differ.

description: Measurement of IgG antibodies against group B streptococcus (GBS) capsular polysaccharide (CPS) by use of a standardized and internationally accepted multiplex immunoassay is important for the evaluation of candidate maternal GBS vaccines in order to compare results across studies. A standardized assay is also required if serocorrelates of protection against invasive GBS disease are to be established in infant sera for the six predominant GBS serotypes since it would permit the comparison of results across the six serotypes. We undertook an interlaboratory study across five laboratories that used standardized assay reagents and protocols with a panel of 44 human sera to measure IgG antibodies against GBS CPS serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, IV, and V. The within-laboratory intermediate precision, which included factors like the lot of coated beads, laboratory analyst, and day, was generally below 20% relative standard deviation (RSD) for all six serotypes, across all five laboratories. The cross-laboratory reproducibility was < 25% RSD for all six serotypes, which demonstrated the consistency of results across the different laboratories. Additionally, anti-CPS IgG concentrations for the 44-member human serum panel were established. The results of this study showed assay robustness and that the resultant anti-CPS IgG concentrations were reproducible across laboratories for the six GBS CPS serotypes when the standardized assay was used.

description: Clients often partner with AI experts to develop AI applications tailored to their needs. In these partnerships, careful planning and clear communication are critical, as inaccurate or incomplete specifications can result in misaligned model characteristics, expensive reworks, and potential friction between collaborators. Unfortunately, given the complexity of requirements ranging from functionality, data, and governance, effective guidelines for collaborative specification of requirements in client-AI expert collaborations are missing. In this work, we introduce AINeedsPlanner, a workbook that AI experts and clients can use to facilitate effective interchange and clear specifications. The workbook is based on (1) an interview of 10 completed AI application project teams, which identifies and characterizes steps in AI application planning and (2) a study with 12 AI experts, which defines a taxonomy of AI experts' information needs and dimensions that affect the information needs. Finally, we demonstrate the workbook's utility with two case studies in real-world settings.
