While historically the ‘gold standard,’ the role of large‐scale RCTs is being increasingly challenged in the contemporary oncology research era. External controls represent an alternate method for generating evidence, though the perspectives of key stakeholders regarding their role in oncology are not well known.

Rulers on the road: Itinerant rule in the Holy Roman Empire, AD 919–1519
Abstract Itinerant rule, rule exercised through traveling, was a common yet insufficiently researched, premodern form of governance. Studying the determinants of ruler itineraries in the Holy Roman Empire, AD 919–1519, we argue that rulers' visits targeted “marginal” elites.

Expanding the Taxonomy of Ethical Issues in Surgical Innovation
ABSTRACT Surgical innovation poses significant ethical challenges. Previous work has grouped these challenges under four categories: potential harms to patients; compromised informed consent; unfair allocation of healthcare resources; and conflicts of interest. We argue that recent technological developments in surgery warrant the addition of three new

The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

A Simple Grid‐Maps Pipeline: Restructured, Accelerated and Upgraded
Abstract Grid maps – spatially arranged small multiples – are a powerful tool to show complex geospatial data. Meulemans et al. (2020) introduced a pipeline for computing high‐quality grid maps that are shaped roughly according to their containing geographic outlines.
