ATHENA optics technology development

The next generation x-ray observatory ATHENA (advanced telescope for high energy astrophysics) requires an optics with unprecedented performance. It is the combination of low mass, large effective area and good angular resolution that is the challenge of the x-ray optics of such a mission. ATHENA is the second large class mission in the science programme of ESA, and is currently in a reformulation process, following a design-to-cost approach to meet the cost limit of an ESA L-class mission. The silicon pore optics (SPO) is the mission enabler being specifically developed for ATHENA, in a joint effort by industry, research institutions and ESA. All aspects of the optics are being addressed, from the mirror plates and their coatings, over the mirror modules and their assembly into the ATHENA telescope, to the facilities required to build and test the flight optics, demonstrating performance, robustness, and programmatic compliance. The SPO technology is currently being matured to the level required for the adoption of the ATHENA mission, i.e., the start of the mission implementation phase. The monocrystalline silicon material and pore structure of the SPO provide these optics with excellent thermal and mechanical properties. Benefiting from technology spin-in from the semiconductor industry, the equipment, processes, and materials used to produce the SPO are highly sophisticated and optimised.
Prevalence and risk factors of acute malnutrition among pre-school children in internally displaced person settlements within Abuja Municipal Area Council

Background: Malnutrition is pervasive among displaced populations worldwide. Adequate nutrition is essential to the growth and development of all children, particularly in the preschool age. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in four internally displaced person (IDP) settlements and their host communities within the Abuja municipal area council between April and May 2019. Using a multistage sampling method, subjects were recruited after parents’ informed consent, from the IDP settlements and equal numbers were drawn from their host communities. The proportion of acute malnutrition using weight for height, MUAC, BMI-for-age Z scores were compared to the 2006 WHO standards. Predictors were determined by logistic regression and statistical significance was set at p less than 0.05. Results: There were 1,179 children aged six to 59 months recruited in each group. The prevalence of wasting was 7.7% (91), moderate acute malnutrition was 7.2% (85), and severe acute malnutrition was 3.1% (37) among the IDPs while they were 7.1% (84), 6.5% (77) and 2.9% (34) respectively in the host communities. The predictors for wasting in both groups were age below 24months (Adj OR, 95% CI - 3.88, 2.38 - 6.32), low birth weight (Adj OR, 95% CI – 2.70, 1.55 – 4.71) and diarrheal disease (Adj OR, 95% CI - 5.45, 2.38 - 12.44). Location was predictive only in the host communities (Adj OR, 95% CI – 2.69, 1.37 – 5.28). Conclusion and recommendation: Acute malnutrition was high among the pre-school children in this study. The nutritional needs of displaced children in the FCT should be met and their families educated on prompt recognition and treatment of diarrhoea.
The Staggered Chiral Perturbation Theory In The Two-Flavor Case And Su(2) Chiral Analysis Of The Milc Data

rt of the Standard Model (SM), Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a widely accepted theory to describe the physics of quarks and gluons. Formulating QCD on finite discrete lattices in Euclidean space-time not only enables one to study the theory non-perturbatively, but also provides a framework analogous to statistical systems, in which numerical methods can be applied. In this work, we concentrate on one specific fermion formalism, staggered fermions. To interpret the data obtained from numerical simulations with staggered fermions, a particular version of chiral perturbation theory (χPT), rooted staggered χPT (rSχPT), is needed to incorporate the discretization effects, mainly taste-violations, and the fourth root procedure used for the staggered fermion formalism. In the light pseudoscalar sector, I study rSχPT in the two-flavor case. The pion mass and decay constant are calculated through NLO for a partially-quenched theory. In the limit where the strange quark mass is large compared to the light quark masses and the taste splittings, I show that the SU(2) staggered chiral theory emerges from the SU(3) staggered chiral theory, as expected. Explicit relations between SU(2) and SU(3) low energy constants and taste-violating parameters are given. The results are useful for SU(2) chiral fits to asqtad data and allow one to incorporate effects from
On secant spaces to Enriques surfaces

We relate the minimal gonality of smooth curves in a complete, ample, base point free linear system |L| on an Enriques surface to the existence of certain secant spaces on the image of the surface mapped by the adjoint system. We also explicitly compute the minimal gonality in terms of invariants of the line bundle L. In particular, we obtain a precise criterion for the variation of the gonality of the curves.
Assessment of Covid-19 Obsession Among Hospital Workers in Jos-South LGA Plateau State Nigeria

The research assess COVID-19 obsession among hospital workers in Jos-South local government area of Plateau State Nigeria. A total of 162 hospital workers (82, 50.6% males and 80, 49.4% females) with mean age of 34.01 participated in this survey research. Four hypotheses were tested utilizing Chi-square at p = 0.05 level of significance, result revealed that older hospital workers had higher prevalence of COVID-19 obsession compared to younger hospital worker, χ2 = 6.139, df = 1, p = 0.013 (p < 0.05). The prevalence of COVID-19 obsession did not differ among hospital workers in terms of gender, χ2 = 0.009, df = 1, p = 0.924 (p >0.05). Furthermore, results revealed that hospital workers with tertiary education had higher prevalence of COVID-19 obsession compared to those with lower educational status, χ2 = 7.168, df = 3, p = 0.028 (p < 0.05). Finally, prevalence of COVID-19 obsession did not differ among hospital workers in terms of marital status, χ2 = 6.996, df = 3, p = 0.072 (> 0.050). The authors concluded that more attention should be given to hospital workers in terms of policy formulation being that they are at the forefront in the fight against COVID-19. Also, there is need for setting up of psychological service centres across hospitals in Nigeria which would go a long way in not just evaluating the mental health status of hospital workers in relation to COVID-19 but it will be beneficial to the general public in assessing psychology services easily.
Asset Commonality and Credit Expansion by Banks in Pakistan

Purpose: Diversification by the majority of the banks in a system contribute to the progression of systemic risk on one hand and affects the lending behaviors of the banks on the other. Since lending behaviors of the banks directly affect the availability of credit to the non-financial sector, the situation may worsen, as a consequence of systemic risk. In this study, we examine the relationship between asset commonality and credit expansion by commercial banks in Pakistan. Design/Methodology/Approach: We use post-global financial crisis data ranging from 2011-2020. A dynamic model is employed with a two-step system GMM technique to control for the problems of autocorrelation and endogeneity, as indicated by the pre-diagnostic tests. Findings: Our results show that asset commonality significantly affects credit expansion by banks in Pakistan. Moreover, the direction of the relationship is negative implying that the asset commonality of the banks in Pakistan, induces banks on the individual level to contract credit to the non-financial sector. Implications/Originality/Value: The findings are helpful for policymakers to devise and implement a prudent regulatory framework for the monetary sector, by not only targeting risk indicators of the financial sector but also keeping in view its repercussions to the real sector of the economy.
Lineability of nowhere monotone measures

We give a sucient condition for the set of nowhere monotone measures to be a residual G set in a subspace of signed Radon measures on a locally compact second-countable Hausdor space with no isolated points. We prove that the set of nowhere monotone signed Radon measures on R d is lineable. More specically, we prove that there exists a vector space of dimension c of signed Radon measures on R d every non-zero element of which is a nowhere monotone measure that is almost everywhere dierentiable with respect to the d-dimensional Lebesgue measure.
Spatial and temporal variation in the distribution and abundance of Synechococcus spp., picoeukaryotes, nanoeukaryotes and Chlorophyll-a in the Eastern Black Sea

The abundance and distribution of Synechococcus spp. , picoeukaryotes, nanoeukaryotes, and chlorophyll- a , were studied through the water column (from 0 – 100 m depth) during four different seasons along the Eastern Black Sea coast. Based on annual average values, Synechococcus spp. were numerically dominant with an annual average of 3.40×10 4 cells mL -1 , ranging between 0.51 and 9.93×10 4 cells mL -1 , followed by picoeukaryotes with an annual average of 0.79×10 3 cells mL -1 , ranging from 0.05 to 3.93×10 3 cells mL -1 . The nanoeukaryotes were the least abundant group in the region, with an annual average of 3.26×10 2 cells mL -1 ranging between 0.12 and 17.98×10 2 cells mL -1 . The minimum and maximum values of Synechococcus spp. and picoeukaryotes were found at stations from Fatsaand Arhavi, while nanoeukaryotes had their minimum-maximum abundance at stations from Yomraand Ordu. Overall, the Synechococcus spp. seasonal cycle exhibited a bimodal distribution, with one peak in summer and the other in autumn. In contrast, picoeukaryote and nanoeukaryote seasonal cycles had unimodal distributions, with peaks during winter. The abundance of Synechococcus spp. was significantly negatively correlated with depth during winter, while picoeukaryotes tended to notably correlate with depth during autumn and winter ( p < 0.05). Contrary, the abundance of nanoeukaryotes was considerably negatively correlated with depth in all seasons. The chlorophyll- a showed a striking negative correlation with depth during spring and autumn. There were particularly positive correlations among Synechococcus spp. , picoeukaryotes, nanoeukaryotes and chlorophyll- a , implying their coexistence. However, the picoeukaryotes were significantly negatively-correlated with nanoeukaryotes.
End-of-Life and Palliative Care in a Critical Care Setting: The Crucial Role of the Critical Care Pharmacist

Critical care pharmacists play an important role in ICU patient care, with evidence showing reductions in drug prescribing errors, adverse drug events and costs, as well as improvement in clinical outcomes, such as mortality and length of ICU stay. Caring for critically ill patients around the end of their life is complicated by the acute onset of their illness and the fact that most of them are unable to communicate any distressing symptoms. Critical care pharmacists are an integral part of the ICU team during a patient’s end-of-life care and their multifaceted role includes clinical support for bedside staff, education, and training, as well as assistance with equipment and logistics. In this article, we highlight the important role of the ICU pharmacist using a ‘real-life’ clinical case from our hospital.
The Role of Needle Fear in Pediatric Flu Vaccine Hesitancy: A Cross-Sectional Study in Bologna Metropolitan Area

(1) Background: vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza and reduce its complications. The main aim of the study is to assess a possible increase of parents’/caregivers’ pediatric flu vaccination adherence due to a nasal administration as an alternative to injection in Bologna. (2) Methods: 169 parents/guardians of children who were joining the COVID-19 pediatric vaccination session in Bologna were interviewed. The results were summarized using descriptive statistics. A multiple logistic regression model was used to assess the determinants of the change in flu vaccine uptake if offered without injection administration. All analyses were conducted using STATA and R-Studio software. (3) Results: Only 29.0% of parents were informed about pediatric flu vaccination by pediatricians, and 32.5% heard about pediatric flu vaccination. Almost 72.2% of parents declared that they would not have their children vaccinated against influenza. Thus, 40.2% of them changed their opinion after being informed about the existence of a non-injective vaccine. Needle fear in children turned out to be a determinant of this opinion change (OR = 3.79; 95% CI = 1.63–9.43; p = 0.003). (4) Conclusions: the study has confirmed that needle fear is a determinant of vaccine hesitancy and that a different method of administration may increase parents’/guardians’ adherence.
Titanium-Decorated Planar Aluminene for Hydrogen Storage Using Density Functional Theory

As green technology becomes a greater focus in our society, alternative energy like hydrogen fuel begins to have significance. Current technology has allowed the use of hydrogen as a fuel in fuel cells. However, a more efficient and safer means of storage would make hydrogen fuel more practical. Investigations on two-dimensional systems have already shown them to be potentially viable hydrogen storage devices. This study investigated one such 2-D system, a planar hexagonal aluminene decorated with titanium using density functional theory. Three possible adsorption sites for Ti atoms were chosen on aluminene: top, bridge, and hollow. This study showed that the Ti atom can be adsorbed at distances of 2.25 Å, 1.99 Å, and 0.00295 Å with binding energies of-2.356 eV, -4.219 eV, and-6.084 eV at the top, bridge, and hollow site, respectively. The density of states showed the Ti-decorated aluminene to be non-magnetic when the Ti atom was adsorbed at the top and bridge sites while adsorption at the hollow site resulted in a magnetic material. The charge density difference also showed chemisorption between the Ti and Al atoms which was consistent with the binding energies and the density of states. The hydrogen molecule was adsorbed on to the decoration at the top and hollow sites with binding energies of-1.41 eV and-0.494 eV, respectively. The H2 molecule dissociated at the top site with a dissociation barrier of 0.0266 eV and an imaginary frequency of 976.99 cm-1 in the vibrational spectrum. The results of the study showed that Ti-decorated aluminene can be a potential hydrogen storage material.
Preparing Construction Employers for the Gen-Z Workforce: A Case Study

The construction industry has been facing many challenges in the recent years such as labour shortage, aging workforce, productivity decline, and resistance to change. These challenges have pushed both practitioners and academicians to investigate and invest in new transformations that can alter the industry’s traditional business-as-usual model. To successfully address the challenges and create an industry that successfully adapts to and fits in the changing environment, construction employers must prioritize attracting, recruiting, and retaining the new workforce generation. Thus, it becomes important to understand the expectations that construction students are looking for in organizations after graduation. Such studies are still missing, notably on Generation-Z and the construction industry in USA. This paper attempts to fill the gap through providing the first case study on Gen-Z students graduating from of the state of Kentucky and wanting to join the construction industry. A total of 51 students were surveyed and asked to evaluate the importance of 27 factors when accepting a job offer, describe their ideal workplace, and elaborate on whether the COVID-19 pandemic shifted their perspective on the workplace. Findings of this paper can help construction employers in and around the state of Kentucky in preparing for the Generation-Z workforce. Organization provides clear instructions on how to perform tasks Technology Organization is advanced when it comes to the use of technology Wellbeing Organization is aware of mental health and cares for the wellbeing Work-Life Balance work
Luminosity function of galaxies in groups in the SDSS DR7: the dependence on mass, environment and galaxy type

We perform an analysis of the luminosities of galaxies in groups in the SDSS DR7. We analyse the luminosity function (LF) as a function of group mass for different photometric bands, galaxy populations, galaxy positions within the groups, and the group surrounding large scale density. We find that M* brightens and alpha becomes steeper as a function of mass in all SDSS photometric bands, in agreement with previous results. From the analysis of different galaxy populations, we observe that different methods to split galaxy populations, based on the concentration index or the colour-magnitude diagram, produce quite different behaviours in the luminosity trends, mainly for alpha. These discrepancies and the trends with mass mentioned above are explained when analysing the LF of galaxies classified simultaneously according to their concentrations and colours. We find that only the red spheroids have a LF that strongly depends on group mass. Late type galaxies, whether blue or red, have luminosity functions that do not depend on group mass. The intrinsic change in the LF of spheroids and the varying number contributions of the different types explain all the observed trends with group mass. On the other hand, dividing the galaxy members in the inner and outer regions of the groups do not introduce a significant difference in the Schechter parameter trends, except for the characteristic absolute magnitude in the high group virial mass range (M>1x10^13 M_sun/h) which is an indication of luminosity segregation in massive groups. Finally, we also analyse the possible influence of the large scale surrounding environment on the LF. We find that galaxies inhabiting groups at low density regions experience more pronounced variations on the Schechter parameters as a function of groups mass, while galaxies in groups at high density regions show an almost constant behaviour.
KRAS Promoter Methylation Status and miR-18a-3p and miR-143 Expression in Patients With Wild-type KRAS Gene in Colorectal Cancer.

BACKGROUND/AIM Although some mutations of KRAS proto-oncogene, GTPase (KRAS) have been associated with the prognosis and therapeutic management of colorectal cancer (CRC), the epigenetic mechanisms (DNA methylation and microRNA expression) that regulate wild-type KRAS expression in patients with CRC are poorly known. The aim of this study was to establish whether there is a relationship between the expression of the wild-type KRAS gene, the methylation status of its distal promoter, and miR-143 and miR-18a-3p levels in samples of sporadic CRC. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 51 cases of sporadic CRC with wild-type KRAS were analyzed. The expression levels of KRAS mRNA, miR-18a-3p, miR-143, and KRAS protein, as well as methylation in the distal promoter of the KRAS gene were evaluated. RESULTS In the analyzed cases, KRAS mRNA expression was detected in 51.1%; wild-type KRAS protein was found in the membrane in 31.4% and in the cytoplasm in 98% of cases. An inverse relationship of marginal significance was observed between miR-18a-3p and KRAS protein expression in the cytoplasm (odds ratio=0.14, 95% confidence interval=0.012-1.092; p=0.08). The methylation status of the distal promoter of KRAS at four CpG islands was analyzed in 30 cases (58.8%): partial methylation of the four CpG islands evaluated was observed in two cases (6.7%). In these cases, KRAS protein expression was not evidenced at the membrane level; miR-18a-3p expression was not detected either but high expression of miR-143 was observed. CONCLUSION No association was found between the expression levels of KRAS mRNA, miR-18a-3p, miR-143 and methylation status. Methylation status was detected with low frequency, thus being the first report of methylation in wild-type KRAS.
Near-IR TRGB Distance Modulus of Dwarf Irregular Galaxy IC 1613

The magnitudes of the red giant branch tip (TRGB) and the distance moduli of the nearby dwarf irregular galaxy IC 1613 have been determined from the near-infrared luminosity functions (LFs) of the resolved stars in the galaxy. Applying a Savitzky-Golay filtering, we derived the second derivatives of the LFs, and estimated the apparent magnitudes of the TRGB as $m_J\;

It can be seen from tcount 3,292 > ttable 1,674 with a significant 0.002 <0.05. Meanwhile, the Product Quality variable (X2) has a significant effect on Consumer Purchase Decisions. This can be seen from the value of tcount (18.702) > ttable (1.674) with a significance of 0.000 <0.05. Meanwhile, the results of the simultaneous test (f test) of the two independent variables on the dependent variable. The results showed that the location and product quality variables together had a significant influence on consumer purchasing decisions, it was seen from the value of fcount (324,256) > ftable (3.17) with a significant value of 0.000 <0.05. With an R square value of 0.924. This means that the effect of variable X1 and variable X2 on variable Y is 92.4%, while the remaining 7.6% is influenced by other variables not included in this study.
Contributions on the Mechanics of Boundary-Layer Transition

The manner in which flow in a boundary layer becomes turbulent was investigated on a flat plate at wind speeds generally below 100 feet per second. Hot-wire techniques were used, and many of the results are derived from oscillograms of velocity fluctuations in the transition region. Following a presentation of the more familiar aspects of transition, there are presented the very revealing facts discovered while studying the characteristics of artificially produced turbulent spots. These are: (1) oscillograms of natural transition are identical to oscillograms of spot passage; (2) transition starts from perturbations in the laminar flow as spots which then grow in accordance with the general concept proposed by Emmons. (3) Turbulence always moves downstream followed by laminar flow; (4) the following flow is in a state of calm for a period during which transition will not occur.
