“It Doesn’t Feel Like You Can Win”: Young Women's Talk About Heterosexual Relationships

Scholars have long explored the expectations of women to maintain intimate relationships and the gendered discourses governing those expectations. Despite the dating landscape changes, having intimate relationships remains important for young women. Amid these changes and the impacts of #MeToo/#TimesUp, investigating the discourses at play within women's talk about intimate relationships produces a current snapshot that contrasts with past literature. Young, heterosexual women of diverse racial, educational/work, and relationship backgrounds aged 18–24 years (N = 28) attended one of five online videoconferencing focus groups. Using an eclectic theoretical approach informed by feminist post-structuralism and discursive psychology, we analyzed women's talk about doing relationships. Mobilizing a discourse of intimate relationship necessity/importance, young women (a) were positioned as “the silenc(ed/ing) woman,” demonstrating a shared understanding of the necessity of silence when doing intimate relationships; and/or (b) actively took up “the communicative woman,” which they conceptualized as the hallmark of a healthy relationship. Tensions between these subject positions were evident (e.g., needing to be “cool”). Also, women described no-win situations in relationships despite attempts to contend with these contradictions and limitations. These findings may contribute to educational materials and youth programming delivered in high school or college.
Knowledge of Drug–Food Interactions Among Healthcare Professionals Working in Public Hospitals in Ethiopia

Background Drug–food interactions can result in unfavorable outcomes during the treatment of patients. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) should advise patients on drug–food interactions. Knowledge of such interactions is crucial to avoid their occurrence. However, there is no information regarding the knowledge of HCPs about drug–food interactions in Harari Regional State. Objective To assess knowledge of drug–food interactions and associated factors among HCPs working in public hospitals in Harari Regional State, Eastern Ethiopia from April 15 to May 15, 2022. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in public hospitals in Harari Regional State, Eastern Ethiopia, among 251 HCPs. After stratification was done based on profession (pharmacists, nurses, and doctors), the sample size was proportionally allocated for the respective groups. Data were collected using a standardized self-administered questionnaire, entered into Epi-Data 3.1 and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences 26.0. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize variables. Multivariable logistic regression was done to determine factors associated with knowledge of drug–food interactions. P < 0.05 was used to declare significant association. Results Among the HCPs who completed the questionnaire, 56 (22.3%), 36 (14.3%), and 159 (63.3%) were doctors, pharmacists, and nurses, respectively. The majority of the HCPs were males (174 (69.3%)). The mean age of the HCPs was 27.6±3.8. The mean knowledge score±SD of the HCPs was 28.6±6.6 out of an overall score of 59. The HCPs poorly identified drug–food interactions and the correct administration time of drugs relative to meals. Being a pharmacist (AOR: 2.8, CI: 1.3–6.4, p-value=0.012), and working at a tertiary hospital (AOR: 3.9, CI: 2.1–7.3, p-value <0.001), were associated with higher knowledge of drug-food interactions. Conclusion The HCPs in this study had inadequate knowledge of drug–food interactions. Thus, additional educational courses and training should be provided in order to improve knowledge regarding drug-food interaction.
Realizability Categories

ii Introduction This thesis contains a collection of results of my Ph.D. research in the area of real-izability and category theory. My research was an exploration of the intersection of these areas focused on gaining a deeper understanding rather than on answering a specific question. This gave us some theorems that help to define what realizability is, or at least what realizability categories are. To provide some context, this chapter introduces realizability and category theory and makes a small survey of their intersection. In the end it summarizes our contributions. 0.1 Realizability Realizability is a collection of tools in the study of constructive logic, where it tackles questions about consistency and independence that are not easily answered by other means. We have no overview of this ever growing collection and know no general criterion for what can be considered realizability and what can not. Therefore, instead of giving a definition, we will present the historical starting point of realizability, and a selection of some later developments. In [35] Kleene introduces recursive realizability. It interprets arithmetical propositions by assigning sets of numbers to them. there is an e ∈ N such that for all n ∈ domf , en is defined and equal to f (n). We write mn↓ if (m, n) is in the domain of the universal partial recursive function. We define the realizability relation r. as follows.
Modeling and Experimental Setup for Noise Pollution Energy Converter

In this paper, an experimental test-bed for noise pollution energy conversion and review of the progressive prototyping models based on acoustic energy conversion has been presented. Noise pollution is a waste vibrational energy available in the environment that has extensive potential of electrical signal conversion using suitable techniques. MEMS (Micro-Electronic-Mechanical System) devices, Acoustic-elastic meta-materials, and electromagnetic transducers make it possible to generate the micro-watt level electrical signal from the low-level decibel noise signal. This micro-level electrical signal is sufficient to power small-signal devices after proper amplification, rectification and regulation. The developed loT based real time noise pollution monitoring and conversion system is tested under live circumstances. The developed model has shown promising results. Using suitable amplification and rectification mechanism, the results can be improved.
Evolution of Shore Hardness under Uniaxial Tension/Compression in Body-Temperature Programmable Elastic Shape Memory Hybrids

Body-temperature programmable elastic shape memory hybrids (SMHs) have great potential for the comfortable fitting of wearable devices. Traditionally, shore hardness is commonly used in the characterization of elastic materials. In this paper, the evolution of shore hardness in body-temperature programmable elastic SMHs upon cyclic loading, and during the shape memory cycle, is systematically investigated. Upon cyclic loading, similar to the Mullins effect, significant softening appears, when the applied strain is over a certain value. On the other hand, after programming, in general, the measured hardness increases with increase in programming strain. However, for certain surfaces, the hardness decreases slightly and then increases rapidly. The underlying mechanism for this phenomenon is explained by the formation of micro-gaps between the inclusion and the matrix after programming. After heating, to melt the inclusions, all samples (both cyclically loaded and programmed) largely recover their original hardness.
On Primes of Ordinary and Hodge-Witt Reduction

Jean-Pierre Serre has conjectured, in the context of abelian varieties, that there are infinitely primes of good ordinary reduction for a smooth, projective variety over a number field. We consider this conjecture and its natural variants. In particular we have conjectured (with C. S. Rajan) the existence of infinitely many primes of Hodge-Witt reduction (any prime of ordinary reduction is also a prime of Hodge-Witt reduction). The two conjectures are not equivalent but are related. We prove a precise relationship between the two; we prove several results which provide some evidence for these conjectures; we show that primes of ordinary and Hodge-Witt reduction can have different densities. We prove our conjecture on Hodge- Witt and ordinary reduction for abelian varieties with complex multiplication. We include here an unpublished joint result with C. S. Rajan (also independently established by Fedor Bogomolov and Yuri Zarhin by a different method) on the existence of primes of ordinary reductions for K3 surfaces; our proof also shows that for an abelian threefold over a number field there is a set of primes of positive density at which it has Hodge-Witt reduction (this is also a joint result with C. S. Rajan). We give a number of examples including those of Fermat hypersurfaces for which all the conjectures we make hold.
Identification of Immune-Related Subtypes and Construction of a Novel Prognostic Model for Bladder Urothelial Cancer

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between bladder urothelial cancer (BLCA) and immunity, to screen prognosis-related immune genes (PIGs), and to construct an immune-related prognosis model (IRPM). We processed the relevant data of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA-BLCA) and GSE13507 using R software and Perl. We divided BLCA into high-immunity and low-immunity subtypes. There were significant differences in the two subtypes. In addition, we identified 13 PIGs of BLCA by jointly analyzing the gene expression data and survival information of GSE13507 and TCGA-BLCA, and constructed IRPM through nine of them. The low-risk group had better survival outcome than the high-risk group. We also constructed a nomogram based on clinicopathological information and risk scores of the patients. Moreover, the prognosis of BLCA patients was significantly impacted by the expression of almost every gene used to calculate the risk score. The result of real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that all the genes used to calculate the risk score were differentially expressed between BLCA and adjacent normal tissues, except PDGFRA. Our research provided potential targets for the treatment of BLCA and a reference for judging the prognosis of BLCA.
Spectral theory and mirror symmetry

Recent developments in string theory have revealed a surprising connection between spectral theory and local mirror symmetry: it has been found that the quantization of mirror curves to toric Calabi-Yau threefolds leads to trace class operators, whose spectral properties are conjecturally encoded in the enumerative geometry of the Calabi-Yau. This leads to a new, infinite family of solvable spectral problems: the Fredholm determinants of these operators can be found explicitly in terms of Gromov-Witten invariants and their refinements; their spectrum is encoded in exact quantization conditions, and turns out to be determined by the vanishing of a quantum theta function. Conversely, the spectral theory of these operators provides a non-perturbative definition of topological string theory on toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. In particular, their integral kernels lead to matrix integral representations of the topological string partition function, which explain some number-theoretic properties of the periods. In this paper we give a pedagogical overview of these developments with a focus on their mathematical implications
Sharp endpoint estimates for some operators associated with the Laplacian with drift in Euclidean space

Abstract Let $v \ne 0$ be a vector in ${\mathbb {R}}^n$ . Consider the Laplacian on ${\mathbb {R}}^n$ with drift $\Delta _{v} = \Delta + 2v\cdot \nabla $ and the measure $d\mu (x) = e^{2 \langle v, x \rangle } dx$ , with respect to which $\Delta _{v}$ is self-adjoint. This measure has exponential growth with respect to the Euclidean distance. We study weak type $(1, 1)$ and other sharp endpoint estimates for the Riesz transforms of any order, and also for the vertical and horizontal Littlewood–Paley–Stein functions associated with the heat and the Poisson semigroups.
ALMOST CLOSED 1-FORMS

Abstract We construct an algebraic almost closed 1-form with zero scheme not expressible (even locally) as the critical locus of a holomorphic function on a non-singular variety. The result answers a question of Behrend–Fantechi. We correct here an error in our paper (D. Maulik, R Pandharipande and R. P. Thomas, Curves on K3 surfaces and modular forms, J. Topol.3 (2010) 937–996. arXiv:1001.2719v3), where an incorrect construction with the same claimed properties was proposed.
Criteria for the Existence of Principal Eigenvalues of Time Periodic Cooperative Linear Systems with Nonlocal Dispersal

The current paper {establishes} criteria for the existence of principal eigenvalues of time periodic cooperative linear nonlocal dispersal systems with Direchlet type, Neumann type or periodic type boundary conditions. It is shown that such a nonlocal dispersal system has a principal eigenvalue in the following cases: the nonlocal dispersal distance is sufficiently small; the spatial inhomogeneity satisfies a so called vanishing condition; or the spatial inhomogeneity is nearly globally homogeneous. Moreover, it is shown that the principal eigenvalue of a time periodic cooperative linear nonlocal dispersal system (if it exists) is algebraically simple. A linear nonlocal dispersal system may not have a principal eigenvalue. The results established in the current paper extend those in literature for time independent or periodic nonlocal dispersal equations to time periodic cooperative nonlocal dispersal systems and {will} serve as {a} basic tool for the study of cooperative nonlinear systems with nonlocal dispersal.
Factors Influencing the Sample Adequacy of Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration from Solid Thyroid Nodules for Liquid-Based Cytology: A Demographic, Sonographic, and Technical Perspective

Background and Objectives: To identify factors that influence the sample adequacy of solid thyroid nodules based on ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) with subsequent liquid-based cytology. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 855 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided FNA at our hospital between July 2019 and July 2020. The final analysis included 801 solid thyroid nodules in 801 patients. After reviewing the demographic data, ultrasonic features, and FNA technique-related factors, we defined 14 potential variables. For cytological results, the Bethesda categories II–VI were defined as adequate sample results. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors that influenced sample adequacy. Results: The adequate sample rate was 87.1%. The univariate analysis showed that four factors were related to adequate sampling in patients with thyroid FNA. These factors included age (p < 0.001), nodule orientation (p = 0.0232), calcification (p = 0.0034), and operator experience (p = 0.0286). After the multivariate analysis, five independent factors were identified to improve the diagnostic results of FNA for solid thyroid nodules: (1) the presence of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (odds ratio (OR) = 1.810; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.076–3.045; p = 0.0254), (2) a taller-than-wide orientation (OR = 2.038; 95% CI: 1.260–3.296; p = 0.0037), (3) the presence of calcification (OR = 1.767; 95% CI: 1.115–2.799; p = 0.0153), (4) four needle passes to obtain material (OR = 1.750; 95% CI: 1.094–2.799; p = 0.0196), and (5) an experienced operator (OR = 0.561; 95% CI: 0.319–0.987; p = 0.0451). Conclusions: A taller-than-wide orientation, the presence of calcification, and the presence of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis were found to affect the sample adequacy of ultrasound-guided FNA with liquid-based cytology. The sample adequacy could be improved when FNA is performed with four needle passes by experienced doctors.
Effects of David Deer Grazing on Soil Bacterial and Fungal Communities in an Eastern Coastal Wetland of China

The grazing activity of animals has a significant role on the environmental modification of land. In the coastal wetlands of eastern China, long-term David deer (Elaphurus davidianus) grazing has caused the degradation of various ecological elements in the area. Still, few studies have been reported concerning the effects of David deer grazing on the soil microorganisms of their habitats. We analyzed the community structure of soil bacteria and fungi in an area of continuous annual grazing and another area without traces of David deer grazing so as to learn about the effects of deer grazing on the soil microbial community structure in a spatial instead of temporal way, in preparation for improving the environment for deer survival. David deer grazing drastically changed the physicochemical characteristics of the soil, accelerating the alkalinization process and inhibiting the buildup of nutrients. There were differences in the microbial community structure between the grazed and the control areas, with bacteria predominating. The control had a higher level of bacterial and fungal alpha-diversity than the grazed area. The makeup of the soil’s microbial community was also influenced, except for the dominant microbial at the phylum level. In addition to the establishment of numerous complex fungal functional types, David deer grazing increased the number of bacterial functional types linked to the carbon cycle. The impacts of soil pH and urease activity on bacterial and fungi populations were highlighted using the redundancy analysis. This study demonstrates that David deer grazing changes and complicates microbial functional kinds of composition, as well as modifies the composition of the soil’s microbial community, improving the soil nutrient cycling process, mainly the carbon element.
Fleming-Viot processes : two explicit examples

The purpose of this paper is to extend the investigation of the Fleming-Viot process in discrete space started in a previous work to two specific examples. The first one corresponds to a random walk on the complete graph. Due to its geometry, we establish several explicit and optimal formulas for the Fleming-Viot process (invariant distribution, correlations, spectral gap). The second example corresponds to a Markov chain in a two state space. In this case, the study of the Fleming-Viot particle system is reduced to the study of birth and death process with quadratic rates.
MiR-223 Exclusively Impairs In Vitro Tumor Growth through IGF1R Modulation in Rhabdomyosarcoma of Adolescents and Young Adults

Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) form a subgroup of patients whose optimal clinical management and best possible access to care remain a challenge and whose survival rates lag behind that of children diagnosed with histologically similar tumors. A better understanding of tumor biology that differentiates children (PEDS-) from AYA-RMS could provide critical information and drive new initiatives to improve their final outcome. We investigated the functional role of miRNAs implicated in AYA-RMS development, as they have the potential to lead to discovery of new targets pathways for a more tailored treatment in these age groups of young RMS patients. MiR-223 and miR-486 were observed de-regulated in nine RMS tissues compared to their normal counterparts, yet only miR-223 replacement impaired proliferation and aggressiveness of AYA-RMS cell lines, while inducing apoptosis and determining cell cycle arrest. Interestingly, IGF1R resulted in the direct target of miR-223 in AYA-RMS cells, as demonstrated by IGF1R silencing. Our results highlight an exclusive functional role of miR-223 in AYA-RMS development and aggressiveness.
Nonnilpotent subsets in the susuki groups

Let G be a group and N be the class of nilpotent groups. A subset A of G is said to be nonnilpotent if for any two distinct elements a and b in A, ha, bi 62 N. If, for any other nonnilpotent subset B in G, |A| ? |B|, then A is said to be a maximal nonnilpotent subset and the cardinality of this subset (if it exists) is denoted by ! (NG). In this paper, among other results, we obtain ! (NSuz(q)) and ! (NPGL(2,q)), where Suz(q) is the Suzuki simple group over the field with q elements and PGL(2, q) is the projective general linear group of degree 2 over the finite field of size q, respectively.

Distributed Linear Quadratic Optimal Control: Compute Locally and Act Globally

In this letter we consider the distributed linear quadratic (LQ) control problem for networks of agents with single integrator dynamics. We first establish a general formulation of the distributed LQ problem and show that the optimal control gain depends on global information on the network. Thus, the optimal protocol can only be computed in a centralized fashion. In order to overcome this drawback, we propose the design of protocols that are computed in a decentralized way. We will write the global cost functional as a sum of local cost functionals, each associated with one of the agents. In order to achieve “good” performance of the controlled network, each agent then computes its own local gain, using sampled information of its neighboring agents. This decentralized computation will only lead to suboptimal global network behavior. However, we will show that the resulting network will reach consensus.
B Cell Kinetics upon Therapy Commencement for Active Extrarenal Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Relation to Development of Renal Flares: Results from Three Phase III Clinical Trials of Belimumab

Renal flares constitute major determinants of poor prognosis in people living with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The aim of the present study was to investigate changes in B cell subsets in relation to renal flares upon initiation of standard therapy (ST) plus belimumab or placebo in patients with SLE. Using data from the BLISS-76, BLISS-SC, and BLISS Northeast Asia trials, we investigated associations of relative to baseline rapid (through week 8) and early (through week 24) percentage changes in circulating CD19+ B cell subsets characterised through flow cytometry, anti-dsDNA antibodies, and complement levels with the occurrence of renal flares over one year. Patients who developed renal flares showed more prominent rapid decreases in CD19+CD20+CD138+ short-lived plasma cells (−50.4% vs. −16.7%; p = 0.019) and CD19+CD20-CD27bright plasmablasts (−50.0% vs. −29.9%; p = 0.020) compared to non-flaring patients, followed by a subsequent return. Less prominent rapid reductions in CD19+CD27-CD24brightCD38bright transitional B cells (−42.9% vs. −75.0%; p = 0.038) and CD19+CD20-CD138+ peripheral long-lived plasma cells (−11.3% vs. −29.2%; p = 0.019) were seen in belimumab-treated—but not placebo-treated—patients who developed renal flares compared to belimumab-treated patients who did not. Rapid and early changes in anti-dsDNA or complement levels showed no clear association with renal flares. In summary, a rapid drop followed by a subsequent return in circulating short-lived plasma cells and plasmablasts upon treatment for active extra-renal SLE portended renal flares, indicating a need for therapeutic adjustments in patients showing such B cell patterns. Rapid decreases in transitional B cells and peripheral long-lived plasma cells upon belimumab therapy commencement may signify a greater protection against renal flares. B cell kinetics may prove useful in early drug evaluation.
