Dose–response relationship of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors treatment‐emergent hypomania in depressive disorders

Objective: The notion that antidepressant treatment‐associated hypomania or mania being pharmacologically induced has been challenged. To determine whether selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) induced hypomania is secondary to medication effects, we examined the dose–response relationship of SSRI‐induced hypomania in two patients with depressive disorder.
Comparison of the clinical characteristics and comprehensive assessments of the 2011 and 2017 GOLD classifications for patients with COPD in China

Objective: Compared with the 2011 Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), there have been significant changes in the 2017 GOLD classification. The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes in clinical characteristics of the new A-B-C-D system and to explore its role in comprehensive assessment of COPD. Subjects and methods: A total of 631 stable COPD patients were included in a cross-sectional survey. Data collected included baseline data and pulmonary function testing results, respiratory muscle strength, symptoms and quality of life, exercise capacity, nutritional status, and anxiety and depression as a comprehensive assessment. Based on the 2011 GOLD and 2017 GOLD classifications, patients were divided into Groups A 1 –D 1 and Groups A 2 –D 2 , respectively. Results: In the 2011 GOLD, 64 subjects in Group C 1 were reclassified into Group A 2 (41.6%), while 77 subjects in Group D 1 were reclassified into Group B 2 (27.1%). The old and new grading systems were somewhat consistent (Cohen’s kappa = 0.6963, P  0.001). Lung function was lower, while the body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity index (BODE index) was higher in Group A 2 than in Group A 1 ( P  0.001). In Group B 2 , lung function, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), and respiratory muscle strength were significantly lower than in Group B 1 ( P  0.001), while the BODE index ( P  0.001) was higher. In comprehensive assessment, subjects in Groups B 2 and D 2 had significantly lower lung function, 6MWD, respiratory muscle strength, quality of life, higher symptom scores, and BODE index than subjects in Group A 2 ( P  0.001). The differences between Group A 2 and C 2 were small. Conclusion: Compared with the 2011 GOLD, the 2017 GOLD reclassified more patients into Groups A and B, those with significantly worse lung function and higher BODE index. In the comprehensive assessment of the new classification, Groups B and D may have greater disease severity. However, the effectiveness of the new grading system in predicting patient prognosis, and its guidance on the use of drugs, remains to be explored in future studies.

Robust IntervalObservers forDiscrete – timeSystems With Input andOutput ?

For a family of nonlinear discrete-time systems with input, output and uncertain terms, a new interval observer is designed. Its main feature is that it is composed of two copies of classical observers. This interval observer applies in the presence of unknown bounded nonlinear terms and disturbances and can be used to achieve asymptotic stability through an appropriate choice of dynamic output feedback. An illustrative example completes the presentation.
On the Estimation of Security Price Volatilities from Historical Data

This paper examines the problem of estimating capital asset price volatility parameters from the most available forms of public data. While many varieties of such data are possible, we shall consider here only those which are truly universal in their accessibility to investors, namely, data appearing in the financial pages of the newspaper. In particular, we shall consider volatility estimators which are based upon the historical opening, closing, high, and low prices and transaction volume. Alternative estimators of volatility may be constructed from such data as significant news events, "fundamental" information regarding a company's prospects, and other forms of publicly available data, but these will not be considered here. Any parameter-estimation procedure must begin with a maintained hypothesis regarding the structural model within which estimation is to be made. Our structural model is given exposition in Section II. Section III discusses the "classical" Improved estimators of security price volatilities are formulated. These estimators employ data of the type commonly found in the financial pages of a newspaper: the high, low, opening, and closing prices and the transaction volume. The new estimators are seen to have relative efficiencies that are considerably higher than the standard estimators.
Integration of Gotong Royong Indonesian Culture in Assessing Students' Social Attitudes

The culture of gotong royong needs to be integrated in learning and assessment in schools. Gotong royong culture includes social attitude of respect, cooperation, inclusiveness, commitment to joint decisions, deliberations of consensus, helpful, solidarity, empathy, anti-discrimination, anti-violence, and attitude of volunteerism. In the implementation, many teachers in Indonesia have encountered difficulties in assessment, especially in the attitude domain. To assess social attitudes including gotong royong, researchers developed a model of attitude assessment. This study uses the R & D design (Research and Development) with ADDIE model. First, the researchers created a design in the form of a matrix containing components: determined measurement objectives, described general measurement questions, described required data, determined data resources, determined types of instruments, and determined measurement scale techniques. Second, researchers have developed gotong royong social attitudes assessment which includes self-assessment, peer-assessment, observation guide, interview guide, and journal. The assessment used Likert scale, Guttman scale, differential semantic scale, rating scale, and Thurstone scale for the technique.
Soft Matter under Exogenic Impacts

Discussions of the consequences of an impact of an extraterrestrial body in a particular region often focus only on very large asteroids, neglecting many phenomena attributable to small asteroid impacts. For impacts at sea it is normally the beach run up of impact-generated waves, which attracts most interest. Here, however, the vulnerability of the Black Sea region (comprised of Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Turkey and Bulgaria) will be examined, if it becomes subject to toxic and flammable gases that may someday be emitted by a catastrophically overturned Black Sea as a consequence of the impact of a medium-sized asteroid.
Biculturalism and Group Identification

This article discusses a study that examined cultural frame switching among bicultural Greek participants living in the Netherlands. The research demonstrated that self-evaluations, self-stereotypes, and attitudes toward family integrity and friendship were affected by cultural framing. Experimentally primed bicultural participants and monocultural comparison groups in the Netherlands and Greece were used. Activating Greek culture especially, in comparison to activating Dutch culture, led to a less positive evaluation of the personal self, stronger Greek self-stereotyping, and stronger endorsement of family integrity and friendship. Similar differences were found when comparing monocultural Dutch and monocultural Greek participants. In addition, cultural priming affected group identification, which was found to be associated with perceptions and attitudes. The pattern of results suggests that group identification, in part, mediates the relationship between cultural framing and perceptual and evaluative responses. It is concluded that social identity principles are important for understanding the experiences of bicultural individuals.
Schistosoma mansoni mucin genes expression (SmPoMuc): an epigenetic control to shape the adaptation to new host

The digenetic trematode Schistosoma mansoni is a human parasite that uses the mollusc Biomphalaria glabrata as intermediate host. Specific S. mansoni strains can infect efficiently only certain B. glabrata strains (compatible strain) while others are incompatible. Strain-specific differences in transcription of a conserved family of polymorphic mucins ( Sm PoMucs) in S. mansoni are the principle determinants for this compatibility. In the present study, we investigated the bases of the control of Sm PoMuc expression that evolved to evade B. glabrata diversified antigen recognition molecules. We compared the DNA sequences and chromatin structure of Sm PoMuc promoters of two S. mansoni strains that are either compatible (C) or incompatible (IC) with a reference snail host. We reveal that although sequence differences are observed between active promoter regions of Sm PoMuc genes, the sequences of the promoters are not diverse and are conserved between IC and C strains, suggesting that genetics alone cannot explain the evolution of compatibility polymorphism. In contrast, promoters carry epigenetic marks that are significantly different between the C and IC strains. Moreover, we show that modifications of the structure of the chromatin of the parasite modify transcription of Sm PoMuc in the IC strain compared to the C strain and correlate with the presence of additional combinations of Sm PoMuc transcripts only observed in the IC phenotype. Our results indicate that transcription polymorphism of a gene family that is responsible for an important adaptive trait of the parasite is epigenetically encoded. These strain-specific epigenetic marks are heritable, but can change while the underlying genetic information remains stable. This suggests that epigenetic changes may be important for the early steps in the adaptation of pathogens to new hosts, and might be an initial step in adaptive evolution in general.
Country Differences in the Effects of Divorce on Well-Being: The Role of Norms, Support, and Selectivity

Little is known about if and how the effect of divorce on well-being varies across societal contexts. This article uses multilevel models for 38 developed countries to test three hypotheses about societal differences. Data are used from the European and World Values Studies. Results show that, in most countries, the divorced have a lower level of well-being than the married, but the magnitude of this difference varies significantly across countries, even when compositional factors are taken into account. The results show that the effect of divorce is weaker in countries where the family is strong, in line with notions of support. The effect of divorce also appears to be weaker when divorce is more common, which points to the role of declining selectivity as divorce rates go up. Mixed evidence was found for the role of norms. The divorce effect is stronger in countries that have stronger norms against divorce, but this was only found for religious persons. Together, these three factors explain more than half of the variance in the divorce effect. Outlier analyses further indicate that the estimates of cross-level interaction effects are sensitive to specific countries that are in the sample.
THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECT OF NANOFLUIDS ON HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS IN A HEAT PIPE

Extensive research has gone into enhancing the thermal efficiency of heat pipes using conventional fluids for over a decade. The enhanced thermal properties of heat pipes using nanofluids has also been researched upon by various researchers over the past few years. The study shows that the thermal characteristics of the heat pipe are enhanced using nanofluids in comparison to conventional working fluids. This paper summarizes our research on the thermal effect of four different nanofluids in heat pipe and identifies the possibility of nanofluid that can be successfully used to improve thermal efficiency of heat pipes.
Optimal time to enter a retirement village Risks

We consider the financial planning problem of a retiree wishing to enter a retirement village at a future uncertain date. The date of entry is determined by the retiree’s utility and bequest maximisation problem within the context of uncertain future health states. In addition, the retiree must choose optimal consumption, investment, bequest and purchase of insurance products prior to their full annuitisation on entry to the retirement village. A hyperbolic absolute risk-aversion (HARA) utility function is used to allow necessary consumption for basic living and medical costs. The retirement village will typically require an initial deposit upon entry. This threshold wealth requirement leads to exercising the replication of an American put option at the uncertain stopping time. From our numerical results, active insurance and annuity markets are shown to be a critical aspect in retirement planning.
Study of Fragmentation Functions in e + e − Annihilation

This White Paper is focused on studies of single and dihadron multidimensional fragmentation functions in e+e− annihilation, and their role in studies of the 3D structure of nucleons and nuclei. This document is a result of a community-wide effort in nuclear science following a series of workshops on physics of the 3D structure of hadrons over the past few years. It emphasizes the relevance of activities on hadronization studies at Belle and BaBar for user communities of BNL and JLab. We summarize the crucial ingredients needed to accomplish the QCD science program in the U.S., established with the CEBAF accelerator at JLab and the future EIC, as well as BNL, CERN and JLab experiments. We give examples of the importance of recent measurements at Belle and BaBar for our understanding of the nucleon structure and outline what a program at present and future facilities can contribute to our knowledge of fragmentation functions.
The B 0 s → μ + μ − decay , lepton flavour violation and 1 lepton flavour universality at the LHCb experiment

Rare decays of b hadrons are sensitive indirect probes of effects beyond the Standard Model. These are processes that are suppressed because they are forbidden at tree level but they can proceed via loops, where new particles can contribute in principle at the same level as the Standard Model. In particular, b→ s`` processes give access to many observables where effects of new physics can be observed. Recent results on these searches will be presented, including the new measurement of the Bs → μ+μ− branching fraction, lepton flavour violation and lepton flavour universality measurements performed at the LHCb experiment.
Low recycling operations and improved confinement in tokamaks

It is summarised the wide phenomenology in fusion plasmas that indicates the link between physics of the edge, via the recycling, and confinement. An interpretation is proposed in which electrostatic waves excited by thermal background in the plasma core enhance the turbulence at the periphery, via a local non-linear mode coupling with ion-sound quasi-modes. This instability is favoured by low electron temperatures of the edge, which correspond to operations with high recycling. Introduction. The H-mode is a high plasma confinement regime obtained in tokamak plasmas when a certain threshold of additional power is exceeded. It is accompanied by a global reduction of the level of the H-alpha emission, i.e., a recycling reduction. More in general, as shown in Ref. 1 (and in quotations in it) low recycling operations was found as useful condition for improved confinement in tokamak and stellarators. It was also the case of the ion Bernstein (IBW) wave heating on FTU (Frascati Tokamak Upgrade), in which an internal transport barrier (ITB) was successfully produced only when operating with a relatively big plasma-wall distance needed for reducing recycling [2]. Similarly, Ref 1 identifies the radial outer gap (ROG), at the beginning of the main heating phase, as one of the relevant operating parameters for achieving ITB performances in JET (Joint European Torus). The identified useful condition of ROG (! 5 cm) was actually utilised in the experiments of JET that produced, for the first time, long lasting ITBs sustained by lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) performed during H-mode [3-6]. The effect of recycling is clear by comparison with similar experiments performed with higher recycling (of a factor ten), due to a smaller ROG (< 2.5 cm, useful for improving the LHCD antenna coupling). In the low recycling operations, higher toroidal velocities and electron temperatures (of a factor two) at the plasma periphery, more prompt access to H-mode and successful ITB formation were found [1]. A powerful tool for obtaining plasma configurations with low recycling and improved confinement was identified by operating with vessel coated by Lithium [5 and quotations in Refs. 6-7]. A key for understanding such general behaviour linking edge physics and transport is suggested. 34th EPS Conference on Plasma Phys. Warsaw, 2 6 July 2007 ECA Vol.31F, P-2.019 (2007)
Running head : COMMUNICATIVE DEMONSTRATIONS 1 A Rational-Pragmatic Account of Communicative Demonstrations

Theory of mind enables an observer to interpret others’ behavior in terms of unobservable beliefs, desires, intentions, feelings, and expectations about the world. This also empowers the person whose behavior is being observed: By intelligently modifying her actions, she can influence the mental representations that an observer ascribes to her, and by extension, what the observer comes to believe about the world. That is, she can engage in intentionally communicative demonstrations. Here, we develop a computational account of generating and interpreting communicative demonstrations by explicitly distinguishing between two interacting types of intentions. Object-directed intentions aim to control states of the physical environment, whereas belief-directed intentions aim to influence an observer’s mental representations. This formulation provides a number of theoretical insights. In particular, our framework (1) extends existing formal models of pragmatics and pedagogy to the setting of value-guided decision-making, (2) captures how people modify their intentional behavior to show what they know about the reward or causal structure of an environment, and (3) helps explain data on infant and child imitation in terms of differential attribution to adult demonstrators’ object-directed and belief-directed intentions. Additionally, our analysis of belief-directed intentionality and mentalizing helps shed light on the socio-cognitive mechanisms that underlie distinctly human forms of communication, culture, and sociality.
Accurate Vision-based Localization by Transferring Between Ground and Satellite Images

We present a method for accurately localizing a ground image with the aid of satellite imagery by transferring between the two image modalities. We perform visual localization by estimating the co-occurrence probabilities between the ground and satellite images. This method allows us to estimate location probabilities at arbitrary locations, thus enabling more information for accurate localization without expanding the ground-image database. We also propose a ranking-based algorithm to learn location-discriminative feature projection matrices that result in further improvements in accuracy. We evaluate our method on the Malaga [2] and KITTI [9] datasets and demonstrate significant improvements.
If at First You Don't Succeed: An Experimental Investigation of the Impact of Repitition Options on Corporate Takeovers

This paper models, and experimentally simulates, the free-rider problem in a takeover when the raider has the option to “resolicit,” that is, to make a new offer after an offer has been rejected. In theory, the option to resolicit, by lowering offer credibility, increases the dissipative losses associated with free riding. In practice, the outcomes of our experiment, while quite closely tracking theory in the effective absence of an option to resolicit, differed dramatically from theory when a significant probability of resolicitation was introduced: The option to resolicit reduced the costs of free riding fairly substantially. Both the raider offers and the shareholder tendering responses generally exceeded equilibrium predictions.
The analysis of CDMS by Indonesian Millennials

A consumer decision making style (CDMS) can be defined as a mental orientation that characterizes a consumer’s approach to making choices. CDMS can be identified by measuring the orientation of youth consumers in general in terms of shopping and buying. There are two factors of CDMS; that is frequency to buy and amount money to buy. This research aims to analyse CDMS among Millenium generation in Indonesia. Consumer Styles Inventory (CSI) that has been widely used to examine consumer behaviour pattern in many countries is used in this research. The result shows that loyal factor fully impacts for CDMS. This study also finds that the fashion, loyal and brand are the factors which influence the consumer millennial to spend their money to buy the apparel.
Systematic review of young children's writing on screen: what do we know and what do we need to know

Writing is part and parcel of children’s active meaningmaking on and with screens, but it has been relatively neglected in the literature focused on children’s digital literacies. This study synthesises existing empirical evidence focused on young children’s (aged between 2 and 8 years) writing on screen and identifies the relationships between dominant themes in published literature and contemporary theories of children’s technology use. A systematic literature review that included studies fromdiverse disciplines yielded 21 papers. Constant comparative analysis generated five themes that indicate four key directions for future research. We call attention to researchers’ theoretical framing to supplement mono-disciplinary approaches and single levels of analysis. We suggest that future research should provide greater specification of the purpose of children’s writing on screen and the different types of tools and applications supporting the activity. We also highlight the need for interdisciplinary approaches that would capture the composing stages involved in the writing process with and around screens. Finally, we point out possible age-related differences in documenting and reporting the composing process in classrooms. Overall, limitations in the current evidence base highlight the need for research conducted from a critical perspective and focused more directly on multimodality.
