Professional Quality of Life among Oncology Nurses at Turkish Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza Strip

Purpose: Study was conducted to identify the positive and negative aspects of professional quality of life among nurses at the Turkish Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza Strip, as well as to look into the relationship between sociodemographic factors and professional quality of life among nurses at the Turkish Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza Strip. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional design. The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQoL), version 5, was used to collect data from 74 nurses who participated in the study, with an 84% response rate. Results: Study participants had high levels of compassion satisfaction (M= 3.9068; SD= 0.86979; WM 78.1%), moderate level of burnout (M= 3.2784; SD= 0.60845; WM 65.5%), and moderate level of secondary traumatic stress (M= 3.0027; SD= 0.77211; WM 60%). There are statistically significant determinants for compassion satisfaction with age group up to 40 years and older (F= 3.406, P= 0.039), participants who received oncology education (T = 2.297, P= 0.025). Also, there is a significant relationship between age group "31-40 years" and secondary traumatic stress in comparison with other groups (F= 4.234, P= 0.018). There are statistically significant determinants for secondary traumatic stress with moderate level of income (F= 6.057, P= 0.004). Also, there is a significant relationship between moderate level of income and burnout (F= 7.497, P= 0.001). Conclusions: Compassion satisfaction is high but burnout and secondary traumatic stress are moderate. Hospital administrators should work on developing strategies to improve compassion satisfaction while reducing burnout and secondary traumatic stress.
Improving the Accuracy of Single-Pixel Tracking a Small-Sized Moving Object Using Defocus Blur

Geometric moment patterns are selected as non-orthogonal gray patterns used for single-pixel centroid detection. By using geometric moment patterns for structured illumination, the reflected light intensities collected by a single-pixel detector correspond to the zero-order and first-order geometric moments, which are leveraged to reconstruct and track the centroid of moving objects. However, the frame rate of the single-pixel tracking system is limited because geometric moment patterns are grayscale while the digital micromirror device (DMD) performs binary modulation much faster than grayscale modulation. Although spatial dithering addressed the problem by binarizing the patterns, the accuracy of tracking a small-sized moving object will decrease by the extra dithering error. Therefore, we propose a binary defocus method to improve the accuracy of tracking a small-sized moving object while ensuring a high frame rate. The key to the proposed method is to simulate grayscale geometric moment patterns by defocusing projection binary geometric moment patterns. The experimental results show that the proposed defocus method is still available for tracking small-sized moving objects even when the focused method fails, and ∼48% lower Centroid Estimation Error (CEE) than that of the focused approach when the frame rate is ∼7400 Hz. Meanwhile, our works also provide relationships between CEE of focused and defocus methods varies with the size of the moving object.
A Comprehensive Study of Short Bursts from SGR1806$-$20 and SGR1900$+$14 Detected by HETE-2

Temporal and spectral studies of short bursts (? a few hundred milliseconds) are presented for the soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) 1806-20 and 1900+14 using the HETE-2 samples. In five years from 2001 to 2005, HETE-2 localized 50 bursts from SGR1806-20 and 5 bursts from SGR1900+14. The cumulative number-intensity distribution of SGR1806-20 in the active year 2004 is well described by a power-law model with an index of ? 1.1±0.6. It is consistent with previous studies, but burst data taken in other years clearly give a steeper distribution. This may suggest that more energetic bursts could occur more frequently in periods of greater activity. From the data, the spectral evolution during bursts with a time scale of ? 20ms does not seem to be common in the HETE-2 sample. The spectra of all short bursts are well reproduced by a two blackbody function with temperatures of ? 4 and ? 11keV. From a timing analysis to the SGR1806-20 data, a time lag of 2.2±0.4ms is found between the 30-100keV and 2-10keV radiation bands. This may imply (1) a very rapid spectral softening and energy reinjection, (2) diffused (elongated) emission plasma along the magnetic field lines in pseudo-equilibrium with multi-temperatures, or (3) a separate (located at ? 700km) emission region of a softer component (say, ? 4keV), which could be reprocessed X-rays by higher energy (? 11keV) photons from an emission region near the stellar surface.
On firmly nonexpansive mappings

It is shown that any A-firmly, 0 < A < 1, nonexpansive mapping T: C -C has a fixed point in C whenever C is a finite union of nonempty, bounded, closed convex subsets of a uniformly convex Banach space. Let C be a nonempty subset of a Banach space X, and let A E (0, 1). Then a mapping T: C -+ X is said to be A-firmly nonexpansive if (1) 11 Tx Tyll < 11(l A)(x y) + A(Tx Ty)jj for all x, y E C. In particular, if (1) holds for every A E (0, 1), then T is said to be firmly nonexpansive. It is clear that every A-firmly nonexpansive mapping is nonexpansive; i.e., for each x and y in C, we have H Tx Ty 1 < IIx-yH . Conversely, to each nonexpansive T: C -+ C one can associate a firmly nonexpansive mapping with the same fixed-point set whenever C is closed and convex [3]. Moreover, from the point of view of fixed-point theory for the class of all closed convex subsets C, firmly nonexpansive mappings T: C -+ C do not exhibit better behavior than nonexpansive mappings in general [2]. However, this behavior is completely different in the class of nonconnected subsets C. Indeed, in this note we prove the following result: Theorem. Let X be a uniformly convex Banach space, let C = Un=1 Ck be a union of nonempty, bounded, closed convex subsets Ck of X, and suppose T: C -+ C is A-firmly nonexpansive for some A E (0, 1) . Then T has a fixed point in C. This theorem is no longer true if T is merely nonexpansive, even in onedimensional space X = Rll. For example, if C = [-2, -1] u [1, 2], then the mapping T: C -+ C defined by Tx = -x is nonexpansive and fixed-point free. On the other hand, if C1 = = Cn = C, then the theorem is true for each nonexpansive mapping T: C -+ C, which is the celebrated result of Browder [1], Gohde [4], and Kirk [5]. More generally, the same result is also valid when nk=l Ck # 0 [6]. Received by the editors April 23, 1990. 1980 Mathematics Subject Classification (1985 Revision). Primary 47H09, 47H10.
Contrasts under long-range correlations

The background of the paper is the empirical observation from a variety of subject areas that long-range correlations appear to be much more frequent than has been previously assumed. This includes high-quality measurement series which are commonly treated as prototypes of "i.i. d. " observations. Evidence is briefly cited in the paper. It has already been shown elsewhere that long-range dependence leads to results that can be qualitatively different from those obtained under short-range dependence, and in particular, that long-range dependence has drastic effects on the naive statistical treatment of absolute constants. The natural question arising from this, also of relevance for statistical practice, is how the long-range dependence affects the statistics for contrasts. The main answer given in this paper is twofold.
A retrospect and outlook on the neuroprotective effects of anesthetics in the era of endovascular therapy

Studies on the neuroprotective effects of anesthetics were carried out more than half a century ago. Subsequently, many cell and animal experiments attempted to verify the findings. However, in clinical trials, the neuroprotective effects of anesthetics were not observed. These contradictory results suggest a mismatch between basic research and clinical trials. The Stroke Therapy Academic Industry Roundtable X (STAIR) proposed that the emergence of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) would provide a proper platform to verify the neuroprotective effects of anesthetics because the haemodynamics of patients undergoing EVT is very close to the ischaemia–reperfusion model in basic research. With the widespread use of EVT, it is necessary for us to re-examine the neuroprotective effects of anesthetics to guide the use of anesthetics during EVT because the choice of anesthesia is still based on team experience without definite guidelines. In this paper, we describe the research status of anesthesia in EVT and summarize the neuroprotective mechanisms of some anesthetics. Then, we focus on the contradictory results between clinical trials and basic research and discuss the causes. Finally, we provide an outlook on the neuroprotective effects of anesthetics in the era of endovascular therapy.
Implicit Transfer Operator Learning: Multiple Time-Resolution Surrogates for Molecular Dynamics

Computing properties of molecular systems rely on estimating expectations of the (unnormalized) Boltzmann distribution. Molecular dynamics (MD) is a broadly adopted technique to approximate such quantities. However, stable simulations rely on very small integration time-steps ($10^{-15}\,\mathrm{s}$), whereas convergence of some moments, e.g. binding free energy or rates, might rely on sampling processes on time-scales as long as $10^{-1}\, \mathrm{s}$, and these simulations must be repeated for every molecular system independently. Here, we present Implict Transfer Operator (ITO) Learning, a framework to learn surrogates of the simulation process with multiple time-resolutions. We implement ITO with denoising diffusion probabilistic models with a new SE(3) equivariant architecture and show the resulting models can generate self-consistent stochastic dynamics across multiple time-scales, even when the system is only partially observed. Finally, we present a coarse-grained CG-SE3-ITO model which can quantitatively model all-atom molecular dynamics using only coarse molecular representations. As such, ITO provides an important step towards multiple time- and space-resolution acceleration of MD.

Notes on Convex Sets, Polytopes, Polyhedra, Combinatorial Topology, Voronoi Diagrams and Delaunay Triangulations

Des outils mathematiques de base tels que les ensembles convexes, les polytopes et la topologie combinatoire, sont beaucoup utilises en modelisation geometrique, vision, maillage, imagerie medicale et robotique. Ce rapport peut etre considere comme un tutorial et un ensemble de notes sur les ensembles convexes, les polytopes, les polyhedres, la topologie combinatoire, les diagrames de Voronoi et les triangulations de Delaunay. Il est destine a une large audience ayant une inclination mathematique. Une de mes motivations (egoiste! ) en redigeant ces notes etait de comprendre le concept d'{\it effeuillage\/} et de voir comment il est utilise pour demontrer la celebre formule d'Euler-Poincare (Poincare, 1899) et le plus recent {\it Theoreme de la borne superieure\/} (McMullen, 1970) pour les polytopes. Une autre de mes motivations etait de donner un traitement ``correct'' des triangulations de Delaunay et des diagrames de Voronoi a partir des projections stereographiques (directes et inverses) sur une sphere. Je prouve rigoureusement que l'application qui transforme la sphere (projective) en un paraboloide (projectif) a un comportement correct, c'est-a-dire, fait correspondre la triangulation de Delaunay et le diagrame de Voronoi par rapport au relevement sur la sphere a la triangulation de Delaunay et au diagrame de Voronoi par rapport au relevement traditionel sur le paraboloide. Le probleme est que cette correspondence n'est bien definie (totale) que dans l'espace projectif et nous sommes donc obliges de definir la notion de polyhedre convexe dans l'espace projectif. Il s'avere que pour atteindre nos objectifs (meme partiellement), j'ai trouve necessaire d'inclure une revue de certaines notions de base telles que les ensembles convexes, les polytopes, les polyhedres et les espaces projectifs. J'ai inclu un traitement assez detaille de l'equivalence des $V$-polytopes et des $H$-polytopes ainsi que l'equivalence des $V$-polyhedres et des $H$-polyhedres, qui est un peu plus difficile. En particulier, la methode {\it d'elimination de Fourier-Motzkin\/} (une version de la methode de l'elimination Gaussienne pour les inegalites) est traitee en detail. J'ai du egalement inclure un traitement des espaces projectifs, des applications projectives et de la dualite polaire par rapport a une quadrique non degeneree afin de definir une notion convenable de ``polyhedre projectif'' reposant sur les cones. Il nous semble que cette notion de polyhedre projectif est originale. Nous pensons egalement que certaines des preuves etablissant l'equivalence des $V$-polyhedres et des $H$-polyhedres sont originales.
Lower Paleogene Conglomerates in the Salinian Block

Lower Paleogene conglomerates were investigated to establish identifiable clast suites based on unique volcanic porphyries. If distinguishable clasts exist, then correlations between similar conglomerate suites can be established. Several criteria had to be met. Volcanic porphyries must be abundant and readily identifiable in outcrop; they require a bold "gestalt". Several volcanic porphyries appear to serve this purpose. These exotic clasts first appeared during Paleocene time in numerous conglomerates deposited along the western Californias. Source terranes are mostly unknown at present; however, a northerly trending volcanic belt is believed to have existed just east of the present western Cordillera, some 200 to 300 km east of the depositional sites. Overall clast assemblages and concentrations of distinctive volcanic porphyries, herein named Smoked Salmon, Gilead Grey, Pozo Puce and Piru Pink, suggest contiguity of middle to late Paleocene through early Eocene depositional basins in the Garcia Mountain Cuyama Valley Piru Creek region. The Smoked Salmon rhyolitic clasts have distinctive salmon-colored feldspar phenocrysts set in a dark grey, dense aphanitic groundmass. These unique clasts also appear in abundance in middle to upper Paleocene conglomerates at Point Lobos and Point Reyes suggesting the possibility of an offset up to 185 km from the northwestern Cuyama Valley region along the Jolon, Rinconada, and other northwest-oriented faults in the late Paleocene. Furthermore, the conglomerates at Point Lobos and Point Reyes both were deposited in submarine canyons cut in megaphenocrystic granitic basement, both contain con-specific bathyal foram assemblages of middle to late Paleocene age, and both have similar conglomerate clast populations with abundant Smoked Salmon clasts. The striking similarity of the clast suites suggests they formed close together which in turn suggests they have been separated up to 185 km by the San Gregorio and related faults.

The concept of invasion is useful across a broad range of contexts, spanning from the ﬁne scale landscape of cancer tumors up to the broader landscape of ecosystems. Invasion biology provides extraordinary opportunities for studying the mechanistic basis of contemporary evolution at the molecular level. Although the ﬁeld of invasion genetics was established in ecology and evolution more than 50 years ago, there is still a limited understanding of how genomic level processes translate into invasive phenotypes across different taxa in response to complex environmental conditions. This is largely because the study of most invasive species is limited by information about complex genome level processes. We lack good reference genomes for most species. Rigorous studies to examine genomic processes are generally too costly. On the contrary, cancer studies are fortiﬁed with extensive resources for studying genome level dynamics and the interactions among genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. Extensive analysis of primary tumors and metastatic samples have revealed the importance of several genomic mechanisms including higher mutation rates, speciﬁc types of mutations, aneuploidy or whole genome doubling and non-genetic effects. Metastatic sites can be directly compared to primary tumor cell counterparts. At the same time, clonal dynamics shape the genomics and evolution of metastatic cancers. Clonal diversity varies by cancer type, and the tumors’ donor and recipient tissues. Still, the cancer research community has been unable to identify any common events that provide a universal predictor of “metastatic potential” which parallels ﬁndings in evolutionary ecology. Instead, invasion in cancer studies depends strongly on context, including order of events and clonal composition. The detailed studies of the behavior of a variety of human cancers promises to inform our understanding of genome level dynamics in the diversity of invasive species and provide novel insights for management.
Entity or Relation Embeddings? An Analysis of Encoding Strategies for Relation Extraction

Relation extraction is essentially a text classification problem, which can be tackled by fine-tuning a pre-trained language model (LM). However, a key challenge arises from the fact that relation extraction cannot straightforwardly be reduced to sequence or token classification. Existing approaches therefore solve the problem in an indirect way: they fine-tune an LM to learn embeddings of the head and tail entities, and then predict the relationship from these entity embeddings. Our hypothesis in this paper is that relation extraction models can be improved by capturing relationships in a more direct way. In particular, we experiment with appending a prompt with a [MASK] token, whose contextualised representation is treated as a relation embedding. While, on its own, this strategy significantly underperforms the aforementioned approach, we find that the resulting relation embeddings are highly complementary to what is captured by embeddings of the head and tail entity. By jointly considering both types of representations, we end up with a simple model that outperforms the state-of-the-art across several relation extraction benchmarks.
Higher-order Link Prediction Based on Message Passing Simplicial Networks

By using edges to represent pairwise interactions, networks provide a powerful formalism to model complex systems. As a fundamental problem in network science, link prediction has been widely studied. But in the real-world systems, interactions often take place among more than two nodes at once, such as research collaborations among more than two authors and social activities involving multiple individuals. To capture these interactions and describe the real-world systems more accurately, higher-order networks have been studied over the past years. And as a challenging problem in higher-order networks, higher-order link problem has also gained more and more attention. Recently, researchers have found that local structures tend to play an important role in predicting higher-order link existence. However, existing methods based on local information have the problems of limited applying scenarios. To find a more general solution and make better use of local information, a reasonable way should be automatically learning information from enclosing subgraphs extracted around target links. In this paper, we propose a higher-order link prediction framework to learn graph structure features from local enclosing subgraphs using Message Passing Simplicial Networks. To evaluate the performance of our framework, we conduct experiments on eight empirical networks and the results show that it is a superb method with unprecedented performance on a wide range of datasets.
On the impact of delay on real-time multiplayer games

Multiplayer games, i.e., games where several persons interact simultaneously over networks like the Internet, receive much interest. One of the reasons is that competing with human counterparts is typically considered as much more interesting and challenging than playing just against a computer.A major problem of network-based multiplayer games is caused by the network transmission delay. This means that it takes a while until information, e.g., about the movement of the opponents objects and their new position, reaches the receivers. This delay causes several difficulties and leads to paradoxical situations. For example, consider a racing game with two players, shortly after the start both believe that they have the lead because it takes a while until the position of the counter player reaches the local player. Approaches to provide for a global consistent state of the game by introducing a local presentation delay have been proposed, however, these increase the application-level delay even more.Therefore, it is important to investigate the impact such delays can have on the performance of multiplayer games and the attractiveness of these games for the human players. Such a study is the purpose of this work. We concentrate on real-time games for the Internet where significant delays can occur. The evaluation is performed through measurements using a car racing simulator.
