X-LAB: A very high-capacity X-band RF test stand facility at the University of Melbourne
The X-band Laboratory for Accelerators and Beams (X-LAB) has been commissioned at the University of Melbourne. One of the key projects within this laboratory involves re-homing half of the CERN high gradient X-band test stand, XBOX3, now known as Mel-BOX. This initiative aims to validate the performance of high-gradient travelling wave accelerating structures operating at a frequency of 12 GHz, which are a crucial component of the acceleration baseline for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). Mel-BOX will be employed to assess the performance of these accelerating structures under high power pulsed RF. As with XBOX3, Mel-BOX uses the combined power from two high average power klystron units to feed two test slots at a repetition rate of up to 400 Hz. Additionally, the parameters such as repetition rate, peak power, pulse length, and pulse shape can be tailored to meet specific test requirements. This method of generating high-power, high-repetition RF pulses holds promise for various applications necessitating multiple test slots. Moreover, there are plans to leverage this technology as a foundation for developing compact accelerators tailored for medical or university applications, including radiotherapy and compact light sources.

Systematic review of patients’ and healthcare professionals’ views on patient‐initiated follow‐up in treated cancer patients
Background
Current follow‐up models in cancer are seen to be unsustainable and inflexible, and there is growing interest in alternative models, such as patient‐initiated follow‐up (PIFU). It is therefore important to understand whether PIFU is acceptable to patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs).
Methods
Standard systematic review methodology aimed at limiting bias was used for study identification (to January 2022), selection and data extraction. Thematic synthesis was undertaken for qualitative data, and survey findings were tabulated and described.
Results
Nine qualitative studies and 22 surveys were included, mainly in breast and endometrial cancer. Women treated for breast or endometrial cancer and HCPs were mostly supportive of PIFU. Facilitators for PIFU included convenience, control over own health and avoidance of anxiety‐inducing clinic appointments. Barriers included loss of reassurance from scheduled visits and lack of confidence in self‐management. HCPs were supportive of PIFU but concerned about resistance to change, unsuitability of PIFU for some patients and costs.
Conclusion
PIFU is viewed mostly positively by women treated for breast or endometrial cancer, and by HCPs, but further evidence is needed from a wider range of cancers, men, and more representative samples.
A protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020181412).

Utah Leaders Say Pot in Cannon's Past No Big Deal
\"It takes great character to realize you did something wrong and immediately turn yourself in, as Mr. [Joe Cannon] did 24 years ago,\" said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. Mr. Cannon said he and some other students in his dormitory at BYU were given some marijuana by Steve Studdert, former aide to President Reagan, who was a student undercover narcotics agent at BYU at the time. After the incident, Mr. Cannon said he turned himself in to campus security and was put on probation. He later served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, returned to BYU to graduate and later completed law school.
