'It hurts my heart': Afghan women in London negotiating family relationships and (im)mobility regimes across borders by Ryan, Louise, López, María E., Rasa, Mursal

“…Paying attention to the specificities of spatial contexts and infrastructures in framing opportunities and obstacles to transnational care, we apply the concept of immobility regimes. Beyond a simple bi‐national focus on countries of origin and residence, we explore how the women navigate these regimes, across multiple countries and different visa regimes to arrange in‐person visits with geographically dispersed kin. …”

Data-driven distributionally robust CVaR portfolio optimization under a regime-switching ambiguity set by Pun, Chi Seng, Wang, Tianyu, Yan, Zhenzhen

“…Methodology/Results: This paper models the nonstationarity by a regime-switching ambiguity set. In particular, we incorporate the time-varying feature of the stochastic environment into the traditional Wasserstein ambiguity set to build our regime-switching ambiguity set. …”

DEM study of the size-induced segregation dynamics of a ternary-size granular mixture in the rolling-regime rotating drum by Yang, Shiliang, Zhang, Liangqi, Luo, Kun, Chew, Jia Wei

“…In view of the ubiquitous continuous particle size distributions, this study builds on the considerable knowledge gained so far from binary-size mixtures and extends it to a ternary-size mixture to understand the impact of the presence of a third particle size in the three-dimensional rotating drum operating in the rolling flow regime. The discrete element method is employed. The evolution of segregation, the active-passive interface, and the dynamical response of the particle-scale characteristics of the different particle types in the two regions are investigated. …”

From private entrepreneurship to state monopoly: contracting Swiss soldiers for Dutch Service under Ancien Régime Fiscal- Military Practices (1693–1829) by Depreter, M

“…This contribution examines Dutch contracting practices to hire Swiss troops during the Ancien Régime, from the first contracts directly negotiated in the Protestant cantons by Petrus Valckenier (1693-1694) during the Nine Years’ War, seizing opportunities arisen from Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) after a period during which the Dutch seem to have relied on uncertain access to Swiss manpower through French intercession, up to the end of a short-lived revival of Swiss foreign regiments in the newly-instated Kingdom of the Netherlands (1814-1829). …”

Role of different dendritic cell subsets in vivo by Abdul Rashid Mohammad Muzaki

“…In a dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) model of colonic inflammation, ablation of CD103+ CD11b- colonic DCs resulted in exacerbated colitis, while ablation of colonic CD103+ CD11b+ DCs resulted in resistance to colitis when subjected to the same DSS regiment. Hence our results highlight the opposing roles of these two distinct colonic DC subsets in controlling DSS-induced colonic inflammation. …”

Efficacy of cannabinoids for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting—a systematic review and meta-analysis by Chow, R, Basu, A, Kaur, J, Hui, D, Im, J, Prsic, E, Boldt, G, Lock, M, Eng, L, Ng, TL, Zimmermann, C, Scotte, F

“…However, there was no difference between cannabinoid and active treatment alternatives (most using dated single-agent regimens) for any outcomes. A recent phase II/III trial demonstrated superior efficacy of THC:CBD for secondary prevention of CINV when used as adjunctive therapy alongside modern antiemetic regimens, albeit mostly without olanzapine. …”
