Non-technical summary
We identify a set of essential recent advances in climate change research with high policy relevance, across natural and social sciences: (1) looming inevitability and implications of overshooting the 1.5°C warming limit, (2) urgent need for a rapid and managed fossil fuel phase-out, (3) challenges for scaling carbon dioxide removal, (4) uncertainties regarding the future contribution of natural carbon sinks, (5) intertwinedness of the crises of biodiversity loss and climate change, (6) compound events, (7) mountain glacier loss, (8) human immobility in the face of climate risks, (9) adaptation justice, and (10) just transitions in food systems.
Technical summaryThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Reports provides the scientific foundation for international climate negotiations and constitutes an unmatched resource for researchers. However, the assessment cycles take multiple years. As a contribution to cross- and interdisciplinary understanding of climate change across diverse research communities, we have streamlined an annual process to identify and synthesize significant research advances. We collected input from experts on various fields using an online questionnaire and prioritized a set of 10 key research insights with high policy relevance. This year, we focus on: (1) the looming overshoot of the 1.5°C warming limit, (2) the urgency of fossil fuel phase-out, (3) challenges to scale-up carbon dioxide removal, (4) uncertainties regarding future natural carbon sinks, (5) the need for joint governance of biodiversity loss and climate change, (6) advances in understanding compound events, (7) accelerated mountain glacier loss, (8) human immobility amidst climate risks, (9) adaptation justice, and (10) just transitions in food systems. We present a succinct account of these insights, reflect on their policy implications, and offer an integrated set of policy-relevant messages. This science synthesis and science communication effort is also the basis for a policy report contributing to elevate climate science every year in time for the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
Social media summaryWe highlight recent and policy-relevant advances in climate change research – with input from more than 200 experts.

Background
Overgeneralised self-blame and worthlessness are key symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) and have previously been associated with self-blame-selective changes in connectivity between right superior anterior temporal lobe (rSATL) and subgenual frontal cortices. Another study showed that remitted MDD patients were able to modulate this neural signature using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) neurofeedback training, thereby increasing their self-esteem. The feasibility and potential of using this approach in symptomatic MDD were unknown.
MethodThis single-blind pre-registered randomised controlled pilot trial probed a novel self-guided psychological intervention with and without additional rSATL-posterior subgenual cortex (BA25) fMRI neurofeedback, targeting self-blaming emotions in people with insufficiently recovered MDD and early treatment-resistance (n = 43, n = 35 completers). Participants completed three weekly self-guided sessions to rebalance self-blaming biases.
ResultsAs predicted, neurofeedback led to a training-induced reduction in rSATL-BA25 connectivity for self-blame v. other-blame. Both interventions were safe and resulted in a 46% reduction on the Beck Depression Inventory-II, our primary outcome, with no group differences. Secondary analyses, however, revealed that patients without DSM-5-defined anxious distress showed a superior response to neurofeedback compared with the psychological intervention, and the opposite pattern in anxious MDD. As predicted, symptom remission was associated with increases in self-esteem and this correlated with the frequency with which participants employed the psychological strategies in daily life.
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that self-blame-rebalance neurofeedback may be superior over a solely psychological intervention in non-anxious MDD, although further confirmatory studies are needed. Simple self-guided strategies tackling self-blame were beneficial, but need to be compared against treatment-as-usual in further trials. https://doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN10526888

Summary
Lesions requiring resection in the posterior mediobasal temporal or adjacent occipital lobe can be difficult to access surgically. An extra-axial supracerebellar approach utilizing an opening in the tentorium can be accomplished through a keyhole suboccipital paramedian craniotomy to give the surgeon adequate exposure to address lesions in this location. Herein we describe the keyhole technique for a supracerebellar-transtentorial approach to posterior mediobasal temporal lesions and the associated benefits, challenges, and clinical pearls.

Background:
Central venous catheter (CVC)-related bloodstream infections (BSIs) are known to increase rates of morbidity and mortality in both inpatients and outpatients, including hematology-oncology patients and those undergoing hemodialysis or home infusion therapy. Biofilm-associated organisms on the lumens of these catheters have reduced susceptibility to antimicrobial chemotherapy. This study tested the efficacy of tetrasodium EDTA as a catheter lock solution on biofilms of several clinically relevant microorganisms.
Methods:Biofilms of Staphylococcus epidermidis, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Candida albicans were grown to levels of approximately 1 × 105 colony-forming units (CFU)/cm−1 on CVC segments in a model system, then subjected to the tetrasodium EDTA lock treatment.
Results:Comparisons of biofilms before and after exposure to the 40-mg/mL−1 tetrasodium EDTA lock for 21 hours showed that the biofilm viable cell counts of all organisms tested were significantly reduced (P < .05) after exposure to the treatment.
Conclusion:Antimicrobial lock treatment using 40 mg/mL−1 of tetrasodium EDTA for at least 21 hours could significantly reduce or potentially eradicate CVC-associated bio-films of clinically relevant microorganisms (Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2005;26:515-519).

This book examines the role of American Jews in the entertainment industry, from the turn of the century to the outbreak of World War II. Eastern European Jewish immigrants are often credited with building a film industry during the first decade of the twentieth century that they dominated by the 1920s. In this study, Steven Carr reconceptualizes Jewish involvement in Hollywood by examining prevalent attitudes towards Jews among American audiences. Analogous to the Jewish Question of the nineteenth century, which was concerned with the full participation of Jews within public life, the Hollywood Question of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s addressed the Jewish population within mass media. This study reveals the powerful set of assumptions concerning ethnicity and media influence as related to the role of the Jew in the motion picture industry.

Summary
GABLER'S PARADOX
The end of an era in American history has brought a remarkable degree of cultural ferment, no doubt the result of large-scale shifts taking place in national and international affairs. One finds this ferment imbuing discussions of both internal domestic affairs and the nation's role in a shifting global order. In 1990, Germany completed its reunification as the Soviet Union crumbled. Amid the biggest bank failures and bailouts in United States history, American conservatives cast this successive chain of international events as a victory for Western capitalism over communism. With the purported fall of communism, however, American political discourse lost one of its most potent, influential images. The specter of communism – the so-called Red Menace that had haunted American popular consciousness since World War I and that had structured the virtual entirety of United States post–World War II foreign policy – was suddenly gone. The very raison d'être for blacklisting, national security, “police actions,” missile crises, Vietnam, arms races, and nuclear holocausts had seemingly crumbled into powdery oblivion.
As one demon corroded from public consciousness, others quickly took shape. Iraq moved its troops across the Kuwaiti border in the summer of 1990, triggering a series of events that helped redefine post–Cold War American foreign policy in terms of ready access to the world's petroleum resources. Meanwhile, Operation Desert Storm coincided with what Evan Carton has dubbed Operation Campus Storm. As a still undisclosed body count continued to rise in Iraq, American popular culture fretted over didactic campus leftists.

Summary
WHAT PRICE, HOLLYWOOD QUESTION?
Hollywood ultimately invited – perhaps even required – interpretation and explanation of itself. The publicity departments of the movie studios generated apocryphal tales of larger-than-life stars and behind-the scenes intrigue. Countless books shared “inside information” on how to break into movies, how to write for them, and how to become a star. The familiar tropes of the American Dream reverberated throughout this discourse of almost attainable success. Desired by many, only a lucky few could achieve, keep, and enjoy it. Indeed, such perceptions had some basis. Considering the industry's output and worth, Hollywood employed relatively few people, as Leo Rosten found in 1941. Approximately thirty thousand people were working in Hollywood in 1937, yet the industry supposedly ranked fourteenth of any U.S. industry in its volume of business, and eleventh in its total assets. Such discrepancy between industry size and economic stature was conspicuous, especially during an economic depression.
Within popular culture, the interpretation and explanation of Hollywood – highlighting both its contradictions and its peccadilloes – consistently invoked the Question in a way that faithfully and obviously hailed heterosexual whites. While one could scrutinize the motion picture industry from a variety of subject positions, the Hollywood Question viewed America through the eyes of its whites. Nonfiction and fiction alike, religious literature, political protests from both the right and the left, voices from the mainstream and on the margins – even Hollywood movies themselves – ultimately acceded to a belief in Jewish agency. This belief – that Jews ultimately behaved as Jews – had nothing to do with the diversity and complexity of the American Jewish experience.

Summary
FROM INDIVIDUAL DEVIANCY TO COLLECTIVE INSTRUMENTALITY
After World War I, the Hollywood Question began making its specific allegations of Jewish control over the motion picture industry. It drew from a confluence of other discussions that had already “mapped out” a particular way of linking American Jews, ethnicity, and agency. This “mapping out” charted the route along which one could invoke the Hollywood Question. The Question circulated amid a field of stock images and assumptions. Through these images and assumptions, the Question could respond to an increasingly urban, modern, diverse, and globally significant America. Moreover, through these images and assumptions, the Question could resonate with a certain dissatisfaction over this changing America. Many of these stock images and assumptions had been circulating for centuries, well before the emergence of the Hollywood Question. The way in which they spoke through the Hollywood Question, however, marked a profound shift in American prejudice during the Gilded Age.
Prior to the twentieth century, most of these stereotypes worked to justify, maintain, and repair the marginal status – often codified into European law – that Jews held within Christian culture. For example, both Germany and Russia had historically denied Jews property and voting rights. By even interrogating the ability of Jews to coexist with Christians in a presumably Christian society, the Jewish Question used certain stereotypes to justify this denial. In most cases, these stereotypes emphasized that the individual deviancy of the Jew was at odds with the rest of the Christian community. In its most extreme form, these stereotypes could activate the blood libel. This libel accused Jews of absconding with Christian children and then using their blood in various religious rituals.

Summary
Two years after the so-called Republican Revolution of 1994, the ultraconservative Ludwig von Mises Institute prominently featured an article entitled “How Antitrust Ruined the Movies” in The Free Market, its official newsletter. In it, the author, who had recently publicly beseeched the South to secede from the Union, argued that Big Government regulation was responsible for the decline in Hollywood since its golden age of the thirties and forties. Hardly an aberration, the article reflects a change in cultural climate. Gone are the insinuations of Jewish control and fears of a vulnerable public mind. Resentment had shifted from overtly blaming racial and ethnic groups to blaming the more nebulous but sufficiently malignant “Big Government.” Although the focus of resentment had changed, the net effect worked all the more artfully to keep certain Others at the margins. In a general climate that was hostile to notions of public interest and collective social responsibility, Congress could dismantle the last vestiges of New Deal socialism. One could redeem the poor and disenfranchised through a form of socially engineered “tough love.”
Given this new cultural climate in America, the Hollywood Question had taken a truly bizarre historical twist. Movies of the thirties and forties were apparently no longer at odds with down-home Americana. The conservative idyll of the American past now harbored both vertically integrated Hollywood and the small town in which movie palaces had screened products from motion picture's golden age. Such are the vicissitudes of the Hollywood Question.
Although it is tempting to dismiss The Free Market as representative of a crackpot fringe, its version of film history indicates mainstream shifts in American culture.
