Abstract Water scarcity occurs in the agriculturally dominated Upper catchment area of Narmada River, Central India because of the overexploitation of underground water for residential, industrial, and other uses. Delineating the Ground Water Potential Zone (GWPZ) is critical to meeting the area’s water demand. Finding the Upper catchment Narmada River groundwater potential zone is the primary goal of this study. The study uses geographical methodologies based on the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). To create a GWPZ map, ArcGIS 10.4 software compiles eight thematic layers, including elevation, slope, drainage density, geology, rainfall, soil texture, modified normalized difference water index, topographic wetness index, and land use/cover. There are five classifications for land use land cover map: Very low, low, moderate, high, and Very high. Each theme map in this study was given a weight based on its unique attributes and contribution to the GWP capacity. The AHP method, which takes into account each layer’s relative relevance regarding the others, was used to establish the weights. Four groups were created from the resulting groundwater potential map: excellent, good, moderate, and poor. According to the study, 26.05% of the basin was categorized as excellent, 34.59% as good, 23.97% as moderate, and 15.4% as poor groundwater potential.The results of this study further indicate that a sizable section of the Narmada River Basin has well to moderate groundwater potential, pointing to encouraging prospects for the area’s sustainable groundwater use. The study offers crucial insights for planners and policymakers to conscientiously harness groundwater resources, fostering sustainable development across diverse land uses in the fragile zone of the upper catchment of the Narmada, and it serves as a model for simulation in other sensitive river basins. The implications of the study are geared towards enhancing groundwater prospects, revitalizing fragile riverine ecosystems, and achieving the target outlined in Goal 6 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of 2030.

Abstract Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common hemoglobinopathy caused by an autosomal recessive genetic disorder leading to increased morbidity and mortality rates. SCD is prevalent in the Tharu community in the lowland (Terai) region of Nepal. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome among adults with SCD is poorly studied. Methodology This prospective cross‐sectional study was conducted at Seti Provincial Hospital in Dhangadhi, Nepal, among 140 adolescents and adults with SCD, aged 15–60 years. Anthropometric and laboratory data were collected using an assisted questionnaire, and the SPSS software version 23 was used for data analysis. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to summarize the presence of metabolic syndrome and were stratified in separate analyses by age and sex. National Cholesterol Education Program‐Adult Treatment Panel III criteria were used to define metabolic syndrome. Aim This cross‐sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among SCD patients with SCD registered at the Seti Provincial Hospital in Dhangadhi, Nepal. Results The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the study participants was 7.8%. Our study revealed 5% of the patients overweight, and 1.4% obese. In this study, the mean triglyceride level was 118.5 mg/dL, and the mean high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) level was 36.2 mg/dL (men) and 36.7 mg/dL (women). This study found that the mean fasting blood glucose level was 88.6 gm/dL. Similarly, 3.5% of patients had increased systolic blood pressure, and 7.8% had raised diastolic blood pressure. Study shows that changes in triglyceride level (p = 0.013), waist circumference, and HDL level (p = 0.0001 and 0.0048, respectively) are significantly associated with smoking or alcohol consumption; however, change in blood pressure (p = 0.013) and fasting blood sugar level (p = 0.086) are not associated with smoking or alcohol consumption. Conclusion Study concluded that though a lower proportion of SCD patients met the criteria for metabolic syndrome than in studies conducted in developed countries, it is crucial to consider metabolic syndrome while managing patients with SCD. Nevertheless, the authors advocate a more comprehensive study to draw significant conclusions.

Abstract Background Periodontitis, a prevalent inflammatory disease affecting tooth-supporting structures, leads to significant oral health and systemic complications if untreated. While traditional smoking is a well-known risk factor for periodontitis, the impact of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) on periodontal health remains unclear. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to synthesize existing evidence on the effects of e-cigarette use on periodontitis and other periodontal outcomes. Methods A literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science from their inception up to June 15 2024. Eligible studies included those assessing the impact of e-cigarette use on periodontal outcomes such as bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index, probing depth, clinical attachment loss, and marginal bone loss. Data were extracted and analyzed using random-effect models to calculate pooled mean differences. R statistical software was used to perform meta-analyses. Results Twelve studies were included in the meta-analysis. E-cigarette users showed a significantly lower mean BOP score compared to non-users (pooled mean difference: -14.233; 95% CI: -20.424 to -8.043; I² = 99%). For other periodontal outcomes, the findings were as follows: Plaque Index (MD: -0.160; 95% CI: -0.680 to 0.360; I² = 95%), Clinical Attachment Loss (MD: 0.120; 95% CI: -0.045 to 0.285; I² = 90%), Probing Depth (MD: 0.056; 95% CI: -0.070 to 0.182; I² = 85%), and Marginal Bone Loss (MD: -0.052; 95% CI: -0.168 to 0.064; I² = 88%). Conclusion Present studies have not identified a significant link between e-cigarette use and adverse effects on periodontal health, but the available research is limited. Further longitudinal research is necessary to evaluate the long-term effects of e-cigarette use on periodontal health and to clarify any associated risks.

Introduction: Wormian Bones (WBs) are small, irregularly shaped ossicles often located within the cranial sutures and at the fontanelles, with the majority found in the lambdoid sutures. They result from the formation of abnormal ossification centres in the cranium that develop through an unknown mechanism. Clinically, Significant Wormian bones (SWBs) are defined as bones arranged in a general mosaic-like pattern with a size larger than 6×4 mm; for pathological significance, more than 10 such SWBs should be present. Aim: To study the incidence of WBs in various sutures of human dry skulls and to investigate the incidence of the metopic suture and Inca bone in human dry skulls. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Government Doon Medical College, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, from January 2024 to May 2024. In the present study, 38 dried adult human skulls of unknown age and sex were examined for the presence, number and location of WBs, the metopic suture, and the Inca bone in various sutures of the skull. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, and results were expressed in terms of incidence. Results: Wormian bones were present in 21 (55.26%) skulls, while 17 (44.74%) had no WBs. One (0.27%) skull had a metopic suture, and 1 (0.27%) skull had an Inca bone. Pathologically significant WBs were not found in any of the skulls examined. Conclusion: The overall incidence of WBs is 55.26%, while the incidences of the metopic suture and Inca bone are both 2.63%. Thus, WBs may mimic a cranial fracture, leading to misdiagnosis, which could delay or alter treatment. Additionally, some WBs may be lost during putrefaction, giving the appearance of an entry/exit gunshot wound in postmortem cases.

Objective: To summarize the prevalence of Long COVID symptoms among the general population reported in published articles from the pre-omicron SARS-CoV2 era. This narrative review examined 21 symptoms. Methods: A PubMed/manual search returned 114 articles on general Long COVID symptoms. Manuscripts were excluded if they were not research studies, did not report symptom prevalence, or used a pediatric population. Ninety-eight studies were selected for review and fifty-nine met the criteria for inclusion. The risk of bias was assessed with the Hoy critical appraisal tool. Results: After excluding studies with a high risk of bias, meta-analysis of prevalence for 21 symptom categories ranged from 2.6–28.7% in studies based on surveys to 0.3–7.1% in studies based on electronic health record data. Conclusions: Long COVID symptom studies are limited by the variability in study design and representation of the general population. Further research is needed to effectively cluster symptoms in meaningful ways that enable focused treatment.

Background: Seminar-based classes are designed to facilitate students’ participation in teaching and learning. This method promotes self-directed learning and improves presentation skills and builds confidence of the students. AIMS: To conduct these classes for 1st year medical undergraduate students online during the COVID-19 pandemic was challenging and needed extra efforts both from the organisers and the students. Hence, the present survey was conducted to understand the students’ perception, pitfalls and challenges about the classes conducted through online mode. Method and Materials: Each session was of 90 min duration and comprised previously allotted topics presented by eight students individually. This was followed by discussions amongst peers and concerned teachers. The students had to voluntarily participate in an anonymous online survey. Results: Thirty-nine per cent of students faced technical issues in the form of interrupted electricity supply, whereas 76% of students were dependant on their smartphones to attend classes. Lack of time for preparation, self-study, appropriate discussions and piecemeal understanding of the topics with lesser retention were reported by the students. Conclusions: Seminar-based classes conducted online have certain pitfalls, and they are best accepted by the students when conducted in the physical presence of the students and the teachers.

Abstract We compute the Nicolai map for the supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, in the light-cone gauge, to the second order in the coupling constant for all critical dimensions (d = 3, 4, 6, 10). The process of integrating out unphysical degrees of freedom in this gauge, produces a four fermion interaction term. We show that, to the order investigated here, this term is harmless. We demonstrate the existence of a particularly ‘simple’ map in d = 4 in the light-cone gauge and address the issue of uniqueness in the context of the map. We also investigate the map in the light-cone superspace in d = 4.

Introduction: Intestinal obstruction is the impairment or arrest of the passage of contents through the intestine. Tubercular aetiology is the commonest cause of small intestinal obstruction in developing countries, while postoperative adhesions are common in developed countries. Neoplastic aetiology is more common in Large Bowel Obstruction (LBO). Clinical and radiological findings are non specific, and histopathology is required for a definitive diagnosis of the aetiology. Aim: To study histopathological examination of obstructive lesions of the small and large intestine. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2020 to September 2021, including a total of 77 cases of intestinal obstruction due to mechanical causes. Detailed gross and microscopic examinations were performed, along with routine and special stains (wherever required), in the Department of Pathology at Government Medical College, Haldwani, Nainital, Uttarakhand. Data were presented in numbers and percentages. Results: The present study showed a male predominance 46 (59.8%) with a male to female ratio of 1.5:1. The most commonly affected age group was 31-40 years 20 (25.9%). Constipation (76; 98.7%) was the most common clinical symptom, followed by abdominal pain 72 (93.5%). The small intestine was more commonly involved 35 (45.5%), with the ileum being the most commonly affected site 40 (53.2%). Among cases of large intestine obstruction, the caecum was the most common site 10 (14.2%). Perforation was the most common gross finding 25 (32.9%). Non specific inflammatory pathology was the most common cause of obstruction (23.5%), followed by adenocarcinoma (20.8%). Tubercular pathology was the third most common cause (11.9%). Conclusion: The present study highlights the important pathologies in the aetiology of obstruction. Prevention and early intervention can help control some of the infective diseases and avoid such emergencies. Early diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic pathology, which is a leading cause of LBO, are beneficial for the better management of patients. A detailed histopathological study of small intestinal specimens should be conducted in constant correlation with clinical and radiological findings for an accurate diagnosis.

Abstract Background The proliferation of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has presented new challenges in public health, particularly among adolescents and young adults. While marketed as safer than tobacco and as cessation aids, e-cigarettes have raised concerns about their long-term health and psychosocial impacts, including potential links to increased suicidal behaviors. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between e-cigarette use and suicidal behaviors by conducting a systematic review of the current literature. Methods We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE for studies up to March 10, 2024, examining the relationship between e-cigarette use and suicidal behaviors. Eligible studies included cross-sectional, longitudinal, retrospective, prospective, and case–control designs. Meta-analysis was performed to calculate pooled odds ratios (ORs). Newcastle Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of studies. R software (V 4.3) was used to perform the meta-analysis. Results Our analysis included fourteen studies, predominantly from the US and Korea, with participants ranging from 1,151 to 255,887. The meta-analysis identified a significant association between e-cigarette use and an increased risk of suicidal ideation (OR = 1.489, 95% CI: 1.357 to 1.621), suicide attempts (OR = 2.497, 95% CI: 1.999 to 3.996), and suicidal planning (OR = 2.310, 95% CI: 1.810 to 2.810). Heterogeneity was noted among the studies. Conclusion E-cigarette use is significantly associated with the risk of suicidal behaviors, particularly among adolescents. The findings underscore the necessity for caution in endorsing e-cigarettes as a safer smoking alternative and call for more extensive research to understand the underlying mechanisms. Public health strategies should be developed to address and mitigate the risks of suicidal behaviors among e-cigarette users.

In the present work, numerical simulations are conducted for external flow through a double rectangular cylinder with different inclinations at Reynolds number (Re) 50 to 200 based on free stream velocity. The cylinder aspect ratio is considered to be fixed at 0.25. During the numerical simulations, one cylinder is kept fixed, and the other cylinder is inclined at ‘θ = 20o’ first clockwise and then in an anticlockwise direction alternatively for both cylinders. Because of the inclined cylinder, the vortex dynamics lead to significant changes in flow-induced forces. In this article, the focus is given to how Re and inclination in the cylinder influence the flow structures and associated aerodynamic properties. It is shown that when any of the cylinders are inclined, a significant decrease in the average drag coefficient is noticed as compared to the parallel cylinder case. In a similar manner, the lift coefficient also decreases when any one of the cylinders is inclined at θ = 20o either clockwise or counterclockwise as compared to the parallel cylinder case.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, disproportionately affected certain segments of society, particularly the elderly population (which suffered the brunt of the burden of the pandemic in terms of severity of the disease, hospitalization, and death). This study presents a generalized multigroup model, with m heterogeneous sub-populations, to assess the population-level impact of age heterogeneity and vaccination on the transmission dynamics and control of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in the United States. Rigorous analysis of the model for the homogeneous case (i.e., the model with m = 1) reveal that its disease-free equilibrium is globally-asymptotically stable for two special cases (with perfect vaccine efficacy or negligible disease-induced mortality) whenever the associated reproduction number is less than one. The model has a unique and globally-asymptotically stable endemic equilibrium, for special a case, when the associated reproduction threshold exceeds one. The homogeneous model was fitted using the observed cumulative mortality data for the United States during three distinct waves (Waves A (October 17, 2020 to April 5, 2021), B (July 9, 2021 to November 7, 2021) and C (January 1, 2022 to May 7, 2022)) chosen to align with time periods when the Alpha, Delta and Omicron were, respectively, the predominant variants in the United States. The calibrated model was used to derive a theoretical expression for achieving vaccine-derived herd immunity (needed to eliminate the disease in the United States). It was shown that, using the one-group homogeneous model, vaccine-derived herd immunity is not attainable during Wave C of the pandemic in the United States, regardless of the coverage level of the fully-vaccinated individuals. Global sensitivity analysis was carried out to determine the parameters of the model that have the most influence on the disease dynamics and burden. These analyses reveal that control and mitigation strategies that may be very effective during one wave may not be so very effective during the other wave or waves. However, strategies that target asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic infectious individuals are shown to be consistently effective across all waves. To study the impact of the disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on the elderly population, we considered the heterogeneous model for the case where the total population is subdivided into the sub-populations of individuals under 65 years of age and those that are 65 and older. The resulting two-group heterogeneous model, which was also fitted using the cumulative mortality data for wave C, was also rigorously analysed. Unlike for the case of the one-group model, it was shown, for the two-group model, that vaccine-derived herd immunity can indeed be achieved during Wave C of the pandemic if at least 61% of the populace is fully vaccinated. Thus, this study shows that adding age heterogeneity into a SARS-CoV-2 vaccination model with homogeneous mixing significantly reduces the level of vaccination coverage needed to achieve vaccine-derived herd immunity (specifically, for the heterogeneous model, herd-immunity can be attained during Wave C if a moderate proportion of susceptible individuals are fully vaccinated). The consequence of this result is that vaccination models for SARS-CoV-2 that do not explicitly account for age heterogeneity may be overestimating the level of vaccine-derived herd immunity threshold needed to eliminate the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

- Abstract
This paper reflects on what we learnt about teaching geography during the COVID-19 pandemic. We interrogate how we, as geography educators working in different contexts, navigated the novel teaching spaces created during the pandemic using two key registers; courageous and compassionate pedagogies. Our premise is that understanding in more nuanced form the approaches we took to creating courageous and compassionate education during the pandemic may help geography educators to thrive when delivering future-facing education. Our approach was to write and share vignettes of our pandemic teaching upon which we (asynchronously) collectively reflected; creating emergent themes described in this paper. This approach to structured peer learning derives from our commitment to education as a collective endeavour. We argue that the disruption caused by the early pandemic required geography educators to focus attention explicitly on areas previously taken as given. Geography educators slowed down by: (1) recognising educator and student embodiment in a novel context; (2) prioritising listening, acknowledging and sharing with students; and (3) paying attention to and respecting difference amongst learners and colleagues. We propose that consciously adopting these approaches will support geography educators and their students in rapidly changing circumstances across educational, employment and climate contexts.

- Abstract
This study promoted professional learning and agency through a pragmatic formative intervention. Participants sought to change professional practices in classrooms in response to critical reflection on pedagogic practices and wider social concerns. Australian researchers collaborated with teachers and teacher educators from Nepal, informed by cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT). Change Laboratory methods identified a contradiction between heavy curriculum content and pedagogies that were regarded as educationally desirable and socially just. Participants developed eight principles to help teachers enact high-quality, inclusive pedagogies. One group linked this to the idea of MicroProjects, a solution for time-pressed teachers that could embody all eight principles. They worked with teachers in a nearby school to develop and implement MicroProjects across the Grade 1-12 curriculum. The paper traces a cycle of expansive learning actions, revealing how committed, activist research methods promoted teacher professional learning and agency in challenging contexts of the Global South, shifting from "what is" towards "what ought to be."

- Abstract
Purpose: The global landscape of higher education has witnessed a steady increase in the mobility of international students, as more individuals seek diverse academic experiences and cross-cultural learning opportunities. This paper conducts a systematic literature review to investigate trends, research directions and key themes in the literature. By utilising the push-pull factor model the aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing international students' choices to pursue higher education and future career opportunities abroad. Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review approach was applied. The selection was made using PRISMA framework-based inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review includes 43 publications from 2010 to 2022. Findings: The review results revealed five themes of scholarly conversations labelled as (1) betterment of life, (2) policy of the host country, (3) role of institutions, (4) return to home country and (5) social, economic, environmental, individual and cultural factors. The findings emphasise on the significance of factors such as the quality of education, visa requirements, academic reputation, tuition fees, availability of scholarships, job opportunities, social, economic, environmental, individual and cultural factors. The paper also identifies language barriers, visa policies and social integration difficulties as major barriers to international students' stay in the host country after graduation. Originality/value: This research enhances the current body of literature by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the empirical evidence available in literature that investigates the mobility of international students. The outcomes of this study will make a valuable contribution towards developing a more profound comprehension of the primary factors that influence international students' decision to pursue their education abroad.

- Abstract
Reflective practice can guide educators toward enhancing their abilities, comprehension, and expertise, reflecting on their experiences to grow personally, professionally, and academically, thereby elevating the overall standard of their work. This paper aims to narrate the perception, practice, challenges, opportunities, and outcomes of reflective practices among STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) educators in Nepal. Using narrative inquiry, we explored the reflective practice experiences of four STEAM educators, (three female and one male). Interview guidelines were used as a data collection tool to generate the participants' narratives. The guiding theoretical referents for this study were Dewey's theory of experience and Mezirow's transformative learning theory. The findings of this study show that STEAM educators perceived reflective practice as a tool to reflect on their actions, evaluate them, and learn from their experiences. Participants emphasized that teaching is a dynamic job with many challenges; however, reflective practices helped them realize their weaknesses and refine their efforts to create a better learning environment. It also enabled them to shift from traditional pedagogical practices to progressive ones, where learners were empowered through authentic and meaningful engagement in the learning process. Time management was seen as a significant challenge when practicing reflective practices; sometimes, the ego clash demotivated them to reflect on their actions. Despite challenges, participants also accepted that reflective practices allow them to explore and apply new ideas in their profession and transform their practices. Consequently, the perspectives offered in this paper may prove beneficial for other educators in cultivating reflective practitioners.

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
We present Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM) and Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift-BAT) searches for gamma-ray/X-ray counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) candidate events identified during the third observing run of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Using Fermi-GBM on-board triggers and sub-threshold gamma-ray burst (GRB) candidates found in the Fermi-GBM ground analyses, the Targeted Search and the Untargeted Search, we investigate whether there are any coincident GRBs associated with the GWs. We also search the Swift-BAT rate data around the GW times to determine whether a GRB counterpart is present. No counterparts are found. Using both the Fermi-GBM Targeted Search and the Swift-BAT search, we calculate flux upper limits and present joint upper limits on the gamma-ray luminosity of each GW. Given these limits, we constrain theoretical models for the emission of gamma-rays from binary black hole mergers.

Astrophysics - Solar and Stellar Astrophysics - Abstract
The kinematics of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are essential for understanding their initiation mechanisms and predicting their planetary impact. Most acceleration and deceleration occur below 4 R$\odot$, which is crucial for initiation understanding. Furthermore, the kinematics of CMEs in the inner corona ($<$ 3 R$_\odot$) are closely related to their propagation in the outer corona and their eventual impact on Earth. Since the CME kinematics are mainly probed using coronagraph data, it is crucial to investigate how imaging cadence affects the precision of data analysis and conclusions drawn and also for determining the flexibility of designing observational campaigns with upcoming coronagraphs. We study ten CMEs observed by the K-Coronagraph of the MLSO. We manually track the CMEs using high cadence (15 s) white-light observations of K-Cor and vary the cadence as 30 s, 1 min, 2 min, and 5 min to study the impact of cadence on the kinematics. We also employed the bootstrapping method to estimate the fitting parameters. Our results indicate that the average velocity of the CMEs does not have a high dependence on the imaging cadence, while the average acceleration shows significant dependence on the same, with the confidence interval showing significant shifts for the average acceleration for different cadences. The decrease in cadence also influences the determination of acceleration onset time. We further find that it is difficult to find an optimum cadence to study all CMEs, as it is also influenced by the pixel resolution of the instrument and the speed of the CME. However, except for very slow CMEs (speeds less than 300 Kms$^{-1}$), our results indicate a cadence of 1 min to be reasonable for the study of their kinematics. The results of this work will be important in the planning of observational campaigns for the existing and upcoming missions that will observe the inner corona., Comment: 21 Pages, 7 Figures, 18 Figures in Supplementary material, accepted for publication in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences

Quantum Physics - Abstract
Fault-tolerant complexes describe surface-code fault-tolerant protocols from a single geometric object. We first introduce fusion complexes that define a general family of fusion-based quantum computing (FBQC) fault-tolerant quantum protocols based on surface codes. We show that any 3-dimensional cell complex where each edge has four incident faces gives a valid fusion complex. This construction enables an automated search for fault tolerance schemes, allowing us to identify 627 examples within a moderate search time. We implement this using the open-source software tool Gavrog and present threshold results for a variety of schemes, finding fusion networks with higher erasure and Pauli thresholds than those existing in the literature. We then define more general structures we call fault-tolerant complexes that provide a homological description of fault tolerance from a large family of low-level error models, which include circuit-based computation, floquet-based computation, and FBQC with multi-qubit measurements. This extends the applicability of homological descriptions of fault tolerance, and enables the generation of many new schemes which have not been previously identified. We also define families of fault-tolerant complexes for color codes and 3d single-shot subsystem codes, which enables similar constructive methods, and we present several new examples of each.

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
Despite the growing number of confident binary black hole coalescences observed through gravitational waves so far, the astrophysical origin of these binaries remains uncertain. Orbital eccentricity is one of the clearest tracers of binary formation channels. Identifying binary eccentricity, however, remains challenging due to the limited availability of gravitational waveforms that include effects of eccentricity. Here, we present observational results for a waveform-independent search sensitive to eccentric black hole coalescences, covering the third observing run (O3) of the LIGO and Virgo detectors. We identified no new high-significance candidates beyond those that were already identified with searches focusing on quasi-circular binaries. We determine the sensitivity of our search to high-mass (total mass $M>70$ $M_\odot$) binaries covering eccentricities up to 0.3 at 15 Hz orbital frequency, and use this to compare model predictions to search results. Assuming all detections are indeed quasi-circular, for our fiducial population model, we place an upper limit for the merger rate density of high-mass binaries with eccentricities $0 < e \leq 0.3$ at $0.33$ Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$ at 90\% confidence level., Comment: 24 pages, 5 figures

Astrophysics - Solar and Stellar Astrophysics - Abstract
Transverse oscillations that do not show significant damping in solar coronal loops are found to be ubiquitous. Recently, the discovery of high-frequency transverse oscillations in small-scale loops has been accelerated by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager onboard Solar Orbiter. We perform a meta-analysis by considering the oscillation parameters reported in the literature. Motivated by the power law of the velocity power spectrum of propagating transverse waves detected with CoMP, we consider the distribution of energy fluxes as a function of oscillation frequencies and the distribution of the number of oscillations as a function of energy fluxes and energies. These distributions are described as a power law. We propose that the power law slope ($\delta=-1.40$) of energy fluxes depending on frequencies could be used for determining whether high-frequency oscillations dominate the total heating ($\delta < 1$) or not ($\delta > 1$). In addition, we found that the oscillation number distribution depending on energy fluxes has a power law slope of $\alpha=1.00$, being less than 2, which means that oscillations with high energy fluxes provide the dominant contribution to the total heating. It is shown that, on average, higher energy fluxes are generated from higher frequency oscillations. The total energy generated by transverse oscillations ranges from about $10^{20}$ to $10^{25}$ erg, corresponding to the energies for nanoflare ($10^{24}-10^{27}$ erg), picoflare ($10^{21}-10^{24}$ erg), and femtoflare ($10^{18}-10^{21}$ erg). The respective slope results imply that high-frequency oscillations could provide the dominant contribution to total coronal heating generated by decayless transverse oscillations., Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures

High Energy Physics - Theory - Abstract
We perform a holographic study of the high and low temperature behaviours of logarithmic negativity (LN) and entanglement wedge cross section (EWCS) in a large $N$ strongly coupled thermal field theory with critical point having a well defined gravity dual known as 1RC black hole. The critical point is defined via $\xi \to 2$ limit where, $\xi$ is dimensionless parameter proportional to the charge of the 1RC black hole. We show that the logarithmic negativity in low and high thermal limits enhances with increasing $\xi$. We analytically compute the EWCS in low and high thermal limits and find an agreement with the previously reported numerical results. We holographically explore the correlation between two identical copies of thermal field theory with critical point forming a thermofield double state (TFD) by computing the thermo mutual information (TMI). TMI shows an increasing behaviour with respect to the width of the boundary region. Further, we analyze the impact of an early perturbation on the field theory by analyzing a shock wave perturbation that grows exponentially in the dual eternal 1 RC black hole and then estimate the degradation of TMI. However rate of such disruption of TMI slows down as the value of critical parameter $\xi$ takes higher values., Comment: 43 pages, 14 figures, title changed, major revision, many explanation added, accepted for publication in the European Physical Journal C (EPJC)

Astrophysics - Solar and Stellar Astrophysics - Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to connect the coronal mass ejections (CMEs) to their source regions, primarily creating a CME source region (CSR) catalogue, and secondly probing into the influence the source regions have on different statistical properties of CMEs. We create a source region catalogue for 3327 CMEs from 1998 to 2017, thus capturing the different phases of cycle 23 and 24. The identified source regions are segregated into 3 classes, Active Regions (ARs), Prominence Eruptions (PEs) and Active Prominences (APs), while the CMEs are segregated into slow and fast based on their average projected speeds. We find the contribution of these three source region types to the occurrences of slow and fast CMEs to be different in the above period. A study of the distribution of average speeds reveals different power-laws for CMEs originating from different sources, and the power-law is different during the different phases of cycles 23 and 24. A study of statistical latitudinal deflections showed equator-ward deflections, while the magnitude of deflections again bears an imprint of the source regions. An East-West asymmetry is also noted, particularly in the rising phase of cycle 23, with the presence of active longitudes for the CMEs, with a preference towards the Western part of the Sun. Our results show that different aspects of CME kinematics bear a strong imprint of the source regions they originate from, thus indicating the existence of different ejection and/or propagation mechanisms of these CMEs., Comment: 29 Pages, 18 Figures.

Ethics in AI has become a debated topic of public and expert discourse in recent years. But what do people who build AI - AI practitioners - have to say about their understanding of AI ethics and the challenges associated with incorporating it in the AI-based systems they develop? Understanding AI practitioners' views on AI ethics is important as they are the ones closest to the AI systems and can bring about changes and improvements. We conducted a survey aimed at understanding AI practitioners' awareness of AI ethics and their challenges in incorporating ethics. Based on 100 AI practitioners' responses, our findings indicate that majority of AI practitioners had a reasonable familiarity with the concept of AI ethics, primarily due to workplace rules and policies. Privacy protection and security was the ethical principle that majority of them were aware of. Formal education/training was considered somewhat helpful in preparing practitioners to incorporate AI ethics. The challenges that AI practitioners faced in the development of ethical AI-based systems included (i) general challenges, (ii) technology-related challenges and (iii) human-related challenges. We also identified areas needing further investigation and provided recommendations to assist AI practitioners and companies in incorporating ethics into AI development., Comment: 36 pages, 8 figures, 4 tables

High Energy Physics - Theory - Abstract
We derive cubic interaction vertices for a class of higher-derivative theories involving three arbitrary integer spin fields. This derivation uses the requirement of closure of the Poincar\`e algebra in four-dimensional flat spacetime. We find two varieties of permitted structures at the cubic level and eliminate one variety, which is proportional to the equations of motion, using suitable field redefinitions. We then consider soft theorems for field theories with higher-derivative interactions and construct amplitudes in these theories using the inverse-soft approach., Comment: 25 pages, minor corrections, appendices added

Ferroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, has emerged as a crucial process in diverse pathophysiological states, encompassing cancer, neurodegenerative ailments, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. The glutathione (GSH)-dependent lipid peroxidation pathway, chiefly governed by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), assumes an essential part in driving ferroptosis. GPX4, as the principal orchestrator of ferroptosis, has garnered significant attention across cancer, cardiovascular, and neuroscience domains over the past decade. Noteworthy investigations have elucidated the indispensable functions of ferroptosis in numerous diseases, including tumorigenesis, wherein robust ferroptosis within cells can impede tumor advancement. Recent research has underscored the complex regulatory role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in regulating the GSH-GPX4 network, thus influencing cellular susceptibility to ferroptosis. This exhaustive review endeavors to probe into the multifaceted processes by which ncRNAs control the GSH-GPX4 network in ferroptosis. Specifically, we delve into the functions of miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs in regulating GPX4 expression and impacting cellular susceptibility to ferroptosis. Moreover, we discuss the clinical implications of dysregulated interactions between ncRNAs and GPX4 in several conditions, underscoring their capacity as viable targets for therapeutic intervention. Additionally, the review explores emerging strategies aimed at targeting ncRNAs to modulate the GSH-GPX4 pathway and manipulate ferroptosis for therapeutic advantage. A comprehensive understanding of these intricate regulatory networks furnishes insights into innovative therapeutic avenues for diseases associated with perturbed ferroptosis, thereby laying the groundwork for therapeutic interventions targeting ncRNAs in ferroptosis-related pathological conditions.
