We expand on the recent derivation of 3d dualities using bosonization. We present in some detail a general class of Abelian duals. ; We are supported by the US Department of Energy under grant number DE-SC0011637, by STFC, and by the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013), ERC grant agreement STG 279943, "Strongly Coupled Systems".

THE GULF WAR SEEMS TO CALL NOT JUST FOR LARGE-SCALE ORGANIZING AND RESISTANCE BUT ALSO FOR A WHOLESALE REASSESSMENT OF OPPOSITIONAL THEORIES AND CRITIQUES. THIS ARTICLE SEEKS TO UNTANGLE THE PERPLEXITIES BY THINKING THROUGH THE WAYS IN WHICH EXISTING FRAMEWORKS OF ANALYSIS CAN STILL AID UNDERSTANDING AND THE WAYS THEY FALL SHORT. IT EXAMINES THE WAR FROM A MARXIST-ECONOMIC, DECLINING HEGEMON, POST-COLD WAR, FEMINIST, MEDIA CONTROL, AND LEGACY-OF-VIETNAM PERSPECTIVE. WHILE NO SINGLE VIEWPOINT SUFFICIENTLY ANSWERS ALL THE QUESTIONS AND CALMS FEARS, THEY ALL CONTRIBUTE SOMEWHAT TO UNDERSTAND.

Carpet pythons (Morelia spilota) are large (to >4 m,
11 kg) non-venomous snakes that are widely distributed across mainland
Australia. In many parts of their range, viable populations persist even in
highly disturbed urban and suburban habitats. Over a six-year period, we
collected 258 'nuisance' pythons from two cities (Brisbane and
Ipswich) in south-eastern Queensland. Most of these snakes were reported by
members of the general public, often after the snakes had consumed domestic
pets or cage-birds. We provide data on seasonal activity patterns, body sizes,
sexual size dimorphism, reproduction and food habits of these snakes. Snakes
were active and fed year-round, primarily on domestic and commensal birds and
mammals. Dietary composition shifted with body size: one small snake consumed
a lizard, intermediate-sized snakes took mostly mice, rats and parrots, and
large snakes fed on larger items such as cats, brushtail possums and poultry.
Adult male pythons engaged in combat bouts during the breeding season, and
(perhaps as an adaptation to enhance success in such bouts) grew larger and
were more heavy-bodied than conspecific females.
Despite decades of study, conservation biocontrol via manipulation of landscape elements has not become a mainstream strategy for pest control. Meanwhile, conservation groups and governments rarely consider the impacts of land management on pest control, and growers can even fear that conservation biocontrol strategies may exacerbate pest problems. By finding leverage points among these actors, there may be opportunities to align them to promote more widespread adoption of conservation biological control at the landscape-scale. But are ecologists measuring the right things and presenting the right evidence to enable such alignment? We articulate key concerns of growers, conservation groups, and governments with regards to implementing conservation biological control at the landscape scale and argue that if ecologists want to gain more traction, we need to reconsider what we measure, for what goals, and for which audiences. A wider set of landscape objectives that ecologists should consider in our measurements include risk management for growers and co-benefits of multifunctional landscapes for public actors. Ecologists need to shift our paradigm toward longer-term, dynamic measurements, and build cross-disciplinary understanding with socioeconomic and behavioral sciences, to enable better integration of the objectives of these diverse actors that will be necessary for landscape management for conservation biocontrol to achieve its full potential. ; Peer Review

Background Surgery is the main modality of cure for solid cancers and was prioritised to continue during COVID-19 outbreaks. This study aimed to identify immediate areas for system strengthening by comparing the delivery of elective cancer surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic in periods of lockdown versus light restriction. Methods This international, prospective, cohort study enrolled 20 006 adult (≥18 years) patients from 466 hospitals in 61 countries with 15 cancer types, who had a decision for curative surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic and were followed up until the point of surgery or cessation of follow-up (Aug 31, 2020). Average national Oxford COVID-19 Stringency Index scores were calculated to define the government response to COVID-19 for each patient for the period they awaited surgery, and classified into light restrictions (index 60). The primary outcome was the non-operation rate (defined as the proportion of patients who did not undergo planned surgery). Cox proportional-hazards regression models were used to explore the associations between lockdowns and non-operation. Intervals from diagnosis to surgery were compared across COVID-19 government response index groups. This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04384926. Findings Of eligible patients awaiting surgery, 2003 (10·0%) of 20 006 did not receive surgery after a median follow-up of 23 weeks (IQR 16–30), all of whom had a COVID-19-related reason given for non-operation. Light restrictions were associated with a 0·6% non-operation rate (26 of 4521), moderate lockdowns with a 5·5% rate (201 of 3646; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0·81, 95% CI 0·77–0·84; p<0·0001), and full lockdowns with a 15·0% rate (1775 of 11 827; HR 0·51, 0·50–0·53; p<0·0001). In sensitivity analyses, including adjustment for SARS-CoV-2 case notification rates, moderate lockdowns (HR 0·84, 95% CI 0·80–0·88; p<0·001), and full lockdowns (0·57, 0·54–0·60; p<0·001), remained independently associated with non-operation. Surgery beyond 12 weeks from diagnosis in patients without neoadjuvant therapy increased during lockdowns (374 [9·1%] of 4521 in light restrictions, 317 [10·4%] of 3646 in moderate lockdowns, 2001 [23·8%] of 11 827 in full lockdowns), although there were no differences in resectability rates observed with longer delays. Interpretation Cancer surgery systems worldwide were fragile to lockdowns, with one in seven patients who were in regions with full lockdowns not undergoing planned surgery and experiencing longer preoperative delays. Although short-term oncological outcomes were not compromised in those selected for surgery, delays and non-operations might lead to long-term reductions in survival. During current and future periods of societal restriction, the resilience of elective surgery systems requires strengthening, which might include protected elective surgical pathways and long-term investment in surge capacity for acute care during public health emergencies to protect elective staff and services.
