Authors: Saunders John , Gill O Noel , Delpech Valerie , Estcourt Claudia ,   the Five Nations (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland) PrEP Minimum Dataset Working Group
Published: June 2021

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), the use of antiretroviral medication to prevent HIV acquisition, is a highly effective biomedical prevention tool. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends PrEP for people at substantial risk of HIV infection, as part of combination prevention, and highlights the need for robust evaluation of PrEP programmes. Based on suggested WHO core indicators, we created a concise set of HIV PrEP-related dataset variables, to harmonise the monitoring and evaluation of PrEP programmes across five closely related nations (England, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Scotland and Wales). The dataset is based on the PrEP cascade and is intended to represent the minimum variables needed for reporting and comparison of meaningful data at national and multinational level. The dataset can be modified for settings with different health and surveillance systems. It is intended for public health, academic, clinical and health planning, and public audiences. Here we describe the dataset and illustrate its use with data from the first year of the Scottish National PrEP programme.

To assess SARS-CoV-2 variants spread, we analysed 36,590 variant-specific reverse-transcription-PCR tests performed on samples from 12 April–7 May 2021 in France. In this period, contrarily to January–March 2021, variants of concern (VOC) β (B.1.351 lineage) and/or γ (P.1 lineage) had a significant transmission advantage over VOC α (B.1.1.7 lineage) in Île-de-France (15.8%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 15.5–16.2) and Hauts-de-France (17.3%; 95% CI: 15.9–18.7) regions. This is consistent with VOC β’s immune evasion abilities and high proportions of prior-SARS-CoV-2-infected persons in these regions.

Published: June 2021

In this research, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is used to recover heat from exhaust gas of a four-stroke diesel engine. After retrofitting ORC to the engine, Brake power increased from 10473.91 kW to combined – cycle Brake power of 10736.00kW, thermal efficiency increased from 36.01% to combined – cycle thermal efficiency of 51.32% and Exhaust gas temperature decrease from 358oC to 120oC at the exit of the turbocharger. ORC with R12, R22, R134a and R290 as working fluids at saturation and superheated temperatures, pressures and condenser pressures at different ranges were used to compare refrigerants performance in converting low grade exhaust gas waste heat into useful work. This research presents theoretical analysis on four different refrigerants. Applying the above-mentioned refrigerants as working fluid superheated vapour temperature for R12 is 131.72oC, R134a is 129.37oC, R22 is 113.40oC and R290 is 116.95oC. ORC Power generated by turbine gives 94.98kW, 95.56kW. 130.32kW. 262.64kW respectively, ORC Thermal efficiency gives 36%, 29%, 37% and 38% for R12, R22, R134a, and R290 respectively. Combined – cycle power for each of the refrigerant gives 10568.89kW, 10604.23kW, 10569.47kW and 10736.00kW respectively, combined – cycle thermal efficiency for each refrigerant gives 51.14%, 51.18%, 51.14% and 51.32% for R12, R134a, R22 and R290 respectively. R290 offers optimal performance compared to other refrigerants used in this research. The retrofitting of the ORC has saved some supposedly waste exhaust heat energy and has increased both combined cycle power output and thermal efficiency of the engine cycle.

Evaluation of the Frequency Following Response as a Predictive Biomarker of Response to Cognitive Training in Schizophrenia
Authors: Clayson Peter E , Molina Juan L , Joshi Yash B. , Thomas Michael L. , Sprock Joyce , Nungaray John , Swerdlow Neal , Light Gregory A
Published: June 2021

Neurophysiological biomarkers of auditory processing show promise predicting outcomes following auditory-based targeted cognitive training (TCT) interventions in patients with schizophrenia, but the viability of the early frequency following response (FFR) as a biomarker has yet to be examined, despite its ecological and face validity for auditory-based interventions. FFR is an event-related potential (ERP) that reflects the earliest stages of auditory processing. We predicted that schizophrenia patients would show acute- and longer-term FFR malleability in the context of auditory-based TCT. Fifty-two schizophrenia patients were randomized to either TCT (n = 30) or treatment as usual (TAU; n = 22), and electroencephalography was recorded during rapid presentation of an auditory speech stimulus before treatment, after one hour of training, and after 30 hours of training. Patients in the TCT group did not show changes in FFR after training, but FFR measurements in the TAU group diminished over time. FFR was positively associated with performance on a measure of single word-in-noise perception in the TCT group, and with performance on a measure of sentence-in-noise perception in both TCT and TAU groups. Psychometric reliability analyses of FFR scores indicated high internal consistency but low test-rest reliability between sessions one hour and 12 weeks apart. While the present study did not find evidence of FFR malleability or utility in predicting response to auditory-based TCT, significant associations were observed between FFR measures and behavioral measures of speech discriminability. These findings support the dissociation between measures of speech discriminability along the hierarchy of cortical and subcortical early auditory information processing in schizophrenia.
A computational approach to the N-back task
Authors: Ni Long , Ma Wei Ji
Published: June 2021

The N -back task is one of the most popular paradigms for studying thecognitive mechanisms of working memory (WM). The task requires the observer to viewa sequence of stimuli and judge whether the current stimulus (probe) matches the onepresented N stimuli ago (target). A key phenomenon is that the intervening stimuli (distractors) interfere with task performance. Unfortunately, the classic N -back task usescomplex categorical stimuli, making it unfit to quantify the effect of feature similarity oninterference strength. Here, we introduce the “analog N -back task", which utilizes stimuli varying continuously in orientation or color. This task variant enables us to measureinterference strength on a continuum, providing data suitable for identifying the sourcesof interference using computational models. In the analog 2-back task, we found thatinterference increased with feature similarity between the probe and both task-relevant(1-back) and task-irrelevant (3-back) distractors. We next developed and evaluated threemain models that each incorporated a Bayesian decision step and differed from an optimal non-interference model in one component only: an early-pooling model, a late-poolingmodel, and a substitution model. Model comparison suggests that interference emerges late in processing, most likely due to confusion between stimuli during WM retrieval. Ourwork puts the study of interference in the N -back task on a firmer computational footing and provides a unified framework for examining the sources of interference acrossdomains.

The author created this book because he saw the consequences of the shift in learning patterns before and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, an important strategy is needed for educators when providing learning to strengthen children's character at an early age. Otibi Satibi Hidayat wrote The Child Character Education study according to the 21st Century book. He was born in Majalengka on July 17, 1968, as a teacher at the Faculty of Education, State University of Jakarta. His purpose in writing this book is to see the changes in education in Indonesia, which are getting more comprehensive day by day. In the character development process, the educators become a central role in character building. The detailed information to implement children's character education following what is expected of the nation and state. This book is targeted at educators both at school and at home, namely teachers and parents. At school, the child no longer meets the parents but meets the teacher; on the contrary, when the child is home, the child no longer meets the teacher but meets the parents. So that later the role of educators is beneficial for children's growth in implementing moral character education. "Buku Pendidikan Karakter Anak sesuai Pembelajaran Abad Ke 21", or (The Child Character Education study according to 21st Century book), provides essential information thatthe educators must understand. The educators must implement several strategies for children's who later can receive the learning process with a sincere heart. Besides that, it also explains the installation of character education for the nation's hopes. Character education is a critical thing in the 21st-century generation because a child can prepare very appropriate steps to anticipate the impact of technological advances. The learning model statistically changes along with the development of technology.

Nietzsche Membunuh Tuhan: Pergulatan Nietzsche Akan Tuhan, Filsafat Dan Sastra, Serta Luasnya Pengaruh Sang Filsuf was written by Zahma lika to explain the thinking of a controversial philosopher named Nietzsche. Nietzsche's wild and free thinking has been a phenomenal study in this century. Nietzsche's thinking reaped much admiration, praise, criticism, even resentment. Sometimes Nietzsche's thinking is also misinterpreted by people who study his philosophy but not fully and profoundly, thus giving rise to a misunderstanding of meaning that can lead to error. In fact, Nietzche's philosophy of seeking truth to achieve the so-called love of wisdom The author of this book tries to correct the misinterpretation of Nietzsche's thinking by explaining Nietzsche's philosophy, Nietzsche's life behind the emergence of his thinking, and the philosopher's influence in this book. Thus, the writing of this book aims to provide a proper understanding of Nietzsche's thinking.
Is Europe prepared to go digital? Making the case for developing digital capacity: an exploratory analysis of Eurostat survey data
Authors: van Kessel Robin , Wong Brian Li Han , Rubinic Ivan , Czabanowska Katarzyna
Published: June 2021

Digital divides are globally recognised as a wicked problem that threatens to become the new face of inequality. They are formed by discrepancies in Internet access, digital skills, and tangible outcomes (e.g. health, economic) between populations. Previous studies indicated that Europe has an average Internet access rate of 90%, yet rarely specify for different demographics and does not report on the presence of digital skills. This exploratory analysis used the 2019 community survey on ICT usage in households and by individuals from Eurostat, which is a sample of the population aged 16-74 on Internet access and digital skills. The cross-country comparative analysis includes EEA and Switzerland. Data was collected between January and August 2019 and analysed between April and May 2021. Large differences in Internet access were observed (75-98%), especially between North-Western (94-98%) and South-Eastern Europe (75-87%). Low age, high education levels, employment, and living in an urban environment appear to positively influence the development of higher digital skills. The cross-country analysis exhibits a positive correlation between high capital stock and income/earnings and the digital skills development, while showing that the internet-access price bears marginal influence over digital literacy levels. The findings suggest Europe is current unable to host a sustainable digital society without exacerbating cross-country inequalities. Investment in building digital capacity in the general population should be the primary objective of European countries to ensure they can benefit maximally from the advancements of the Digital Era.

Published: June 2021

The Mott-insulator phase transition behaviour of the superstructure of strongly correlated system, CaxSr(1-x)VO3 (x =0, 0.33, 0.67, 1) have studied using the conventional density functional theory and the dynamical mean field theory. The Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator phase transition of superstructures, Ca0.33Sr0.67VO3 and Ca0.67Sr0.33VO3 formed by the CaVO3 and SrVO3 correlated metals, are obtained at U=4.5eV with β= 6(eV)-1 and U =4.5eV with β= 7(eV)-1 respectively. The values of U and β calculated through the Maximum Entropy model using the Green’s function data, are consistent with the experimental results. The value of Seebeck coefficient (S) of superstructure Ca0.33Sr0.67VO3 and Ca0.67Sr0.33VO3 are found to be +0.0011[V/K] and -0.0011[V/K] within the chemical potential  μ = -1.266 eV to μ = -0.938 eV. The figures of merit (ZT) are found to be 0.97 at room temperature for these systems. The variation of electrical and thermal conductivities has also been discussed.
Spatial Orientations of Angular Momentum Vectors of Galaxies in Supercluster S [247+040+0029] and Substructures
Authors: Malla J. R. , Saurer W. , Aryal B.
Published: June 2021

We present an analysis of spatial orientations of 1331 galaxies in the supercluster S [247+040+0029]. The main goal of this work is to search for a new substructure candidate and examine the orientation of angular momentum in the framework of three different scenarios (hierarchy, pancake, and primordial vorticity models) using “position angle-inclination method”, and to test the dependence on magnitude with the angular momentum orientations and their projections. We identified five substructures studying number density contour map with considerably high concentration of galaxies. Using random simulation method to remove the selection effect on database, we carried out expected isotropic distribution using cosmological principle. We then used three statistical tests: Chi-square, Auto-correlation, and Fourier to identify isotropy between observed and expected isotropic distributions. We varied radius in the range 0.3° to 1.0° to find substructures in supercluster. From this we found five sub-structures when taking radius 0.3° and two substructures for 1.0° radius in the number density counter maps of galaxies. By analyzing the result obtained through statistical tests, we are able to conform that evolution of galaxy in the supercluster and substructures supports “Hierarchy model" giving the angular momentum of galaxies in the large scale structure tends to be oriented random with respect to the reference coordinate system.

Authors: Timalsina R.
Published: June 2021

This paper presents the study of longitudinal beam dynamics of a simple linear proton accelerator and simulation results for a model linear accelerator (LINAC) using MATLAB. The study part of the transition energy, particle acceleration, transit time factor, RF factor, and momentum compaction are discussed. For the simulation, the model LINAC is built using unit cells and the unit cell consists of Quadrupole doublet and acceleration cavity. Model LINAC’s basic setup is present and the simulation is based on the single-particle analysis. The robustness of the model LINAC tested to operate varying different parameters like initial arrival phase and input energy. The criteria to measure the robustness of the model LINAC are to check the kinetic energy at the end of the LINAC and the transverse stability of the transfer matrices of each cell. The paper also presents the theoretical analysis of phase stability at both below and above transition energy. The stability of small and larger amplitude oscillations are present and simulation results for different particles each starting with different amplitudes observed, where the large amplitude oscillation falls outside of the separatrix.
Using Intervention Mapping in the Systematic Development of a Behaviour Change Intervention to Enhance Exercise Adherence among People with Persistent Musculoskeletal Pain
Authors: Meade Laura B. , Bearne Lindsay M. , Godfrey Emma L.
Published: June 2021

Purpose: This article describes the first four steps of the intervention mapping framework used to design a programme aimed at increasing adherence to prescribed exercise by people with persistent musculoskeletal pain. Method: In Step 1, a systematic review and qualitative study was completed to inform Step 2 and the identification of the Health Action Process Approach as an appropriate theoretical framework for establishing two programme objectives: enhancing self-management and providing tailored and accessible exercise instructions. Step 3 encompassed the selection of the programme methods, and the programme is described in Step 4. The resulting programme provides virtually delivered motivational interviewing and an app-based exercise programme to support individuals’ adherence to exercise. Results: The resulting intervention was assessed in a proof-of-concept feasibility and acceptability study and was shown to be feasible and acceptable. Refinements to the programme included additional tailoring of the exercise app and modifying the motivational interviewing schedule. Conclusions: Using the intervention mapping approach enabled us to successfully develop an intervention aimed at supporting the development of self-management behaviours and addressing maladaptive beliefs as a means of enhancing individuals’ adherence to exercise. Evaluation and implementation of the intervention should now be carried out.

Published: June 2021

Dans cette communication présentée au Congrès des Sociétés savantes (colloque de l'Association d'histoire du théâtre au Canada) en mai 1991, le Groupe de recherche sur le théâtre en Abitibi-Témiscamingue répond à trois questions concernant la problématique de la recherche en région sur le théâtre régional: qu'est-ce que le théâtre régional? d'où origine le discours sur le théâtre régional? et où mènent ces recherches? Pour répondre à ces questions il faut tenir compte de facteurs géographiques, tel celui de la distance par rapport aux grands centres urbains où se concentrent l'activité théâtrale et la recherche sur le théatre; mais il faut surtout tenir compte de certains facteurs institutionnels qui bloquent la reconnaissance du rôle des pratiques marginales autant que marginalisées (théâtre amateur, théâtre régional...) dans la constitution de l'Institution elle-même.
'Getting to' Canadian Theatre History: On the Tension Between the New History and the Nation State
Authors: Johnson Stephen
Published: June 2021

The methods of the 'new' history have helped to define the study of theatre history; at the same time, these methods tend to de-emphasize the influence of the politics of the nation state on that history. This can create tension in a discipline such as Canadian theatre history that defines itself by national as well as cultural criteria. This article illustrates the tension by comparing the definition of theatrical culture implicit in two examples of the Upper Canada (Wellington County) local press during the 1860s with that of an American trade journal for the same period. Reference is made to the Civil War, the Fenian raids, and Confederation.

Continual improvement in knowledge and skills is important in every profession, and teaching is no exception. A Mix-method approach was used. Semi-structured interviews of 12 of the 120 (35%) secondary school English teachers were conducted who amongst a large sample of 343 surveyed teachers reported their participation in professional development activities as nil. Findings revealed that family responsibilities acted as a major preventive force in the way of teachers' accessing formal and organized TPD. Other potentially significant barriers that inhibited teachers from attending TPD involve time issues, lack of support from the school head/administration, huge financial cost, less relevancy to teachers' area of teaching or inability to meet the prerequisites of the TPD activity. It is concluded that teachers' learning capacities can be enhanced, and ultimately, classroom practices could be improved if barriers restricting teachers to participate in the activities of professional growth are removed.

The focus of the current research was to explore the influence of teachers' experience on the responses about L1 use in L2 teaching. To investigate an evident and contemplative comprehension of this topic or subject matter, the available research targeted the 156 teachers who were practising teaching English at graduation level in different public sector colleges and universities of the Southern Punjab, Pakistan. The data collection source applied for the study was a questionnaire. Data were examined using SPSS (statistical package for social sciences) 23 version. Data was examined with the help of different data analysis techniques such as descriptive analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), T-Test and Cronbach's alpha. The outcome of the immediate study showed that the teachers displayed a highly positive sense about the use of native language in the foreign language classroom. Most of the teachers adopted using L1 in certain occurrences for solid reasons, such as while teaching grammar and its usage in the target language classroom. Foreign language teachers were extremely inspired to use L1 while teaching short questions and summaries, letter writing and paraphrasing the text in different classes of graduation.

The purpose of this study was to see if there was an association between work-family conflict and organizational commitment in university teachers. It was a quantitative research study that used a correlational research methodology, which means that no variables were modified and were instead revealed as they were. Teachers at the University of Education Lahore were the study's subjects. Carlson's Work-Family Conflict Scale (WFCS) and Allen and Meyer's Employee Commitment Survey (ECS) were adapted with their consent. The census sampling method was used. The instrument was delivered among 336 teachers, and 216 questionnaires were returned, resulting in a 64 percent return rate. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Teachers were discovered to be dealing with work-family conflict while remaining dedicated to their organization. There was a negative association between the variables. The researcher suggests that this study be expanded using qualitative data.

Data exchange communication has developed, which leads to centralized communication, and to achieve this communication requires a type of data communication whose data is accommodated on the server and can be accessed by clients, such as at organization. As a company engaged in education, the development of centralized data communication by utilizing the intranet network has been formed. The use of an intranet network allows data communication that is vulnerable to wiretapping. To fix this using a VPN network. L2TP and IPsec VPNs have different performances, especially in the level of security provided. In this study, an analysis of the L2TP and IPsec VPN network performance was carried out on the SMB Server on the Ubuntu server and the Mikrotik router for its VPN configuration. In this study, the L2TP and IPsec VPN was designed by configuring the Mikrotik RB 450G router and the SMB Server configuration using Command Line Interface on Ubuntu 18.04 server. For security analysis, use hacking methods to get VPN Server login data and sniffing methods to get SMB Server login data and SMB data. For performance analysis using parameters of delay, throughput, and packet loss. Wireshark is software for checking by capturing each packet of data from an interface. The research objective to be achieved is to design a VPN technology based on L2TP & IPSec, to be able to determine the resulting performance after implementing a VPN based on L2TP & Ip Sec. The result is that VPN can connect from HO to branch one and branch two or connect from public connection to local connection. The Ubuntu server used is also running well, so it helps the VPN process properly.
Bridges with multiple structural systems: The example of Trilj Bridge reconstruction in Croatia

Published: June 2021

Development of multiple structural systems for bridges is useful in the design of new bridges and rehabilitation of existing bridges. This paper briefly presents some existing bridges with multiple structural systems and succinctly discusses design ideas for bridges with such systems. As an example of a bridge with multiple structural systems, the paper presents the reconstruction of a pedestrian suspension bridge in the City of Trilj, Croatia. The new bridge’s load-bearing structure is composed of several structural systems. Namely, the reconstructed bridge is a combination of suspension, cable-stayed and stress-ribbon bridge, which is laterally restrained with horizontal tensioned ropes. Numerical analysis was conducted on the renovated bridge. The results have shown an acceptable levels of stresses and deflections verifying the structural safety of the restored bridge. It is believed that this example of the bridge renovation may be useful in the design of new and strengthening of existing similar bridges.

Background: Timely diagnosis of dementia is a global healthcare priority, particularly in low to middle income countries where rapid increases in older adult populations are expected. Objective: To investigate global perspectives on the role of brief cognitive assessments (BCAs) in dementia diagnosis, strengths and limitations of existing measures, and future directions and needs. Methods: This is a qualitative study of 18 dementia experts from different areas of the world. Participants were selected using purposeful sampling based on the following criteria: 1) practicing in countries with projected growth of older adult population of over 100%by 2050; 2) expertise in dementia diagnosis and treatment; 3) involvement in clinical practice and training; and 4) recognition as a national dementia expert based on leadership positions within healthcare system, research, and/or policy work. Participants were individually interviewed in their language of choice over secure videoconference sessions. Interviews were analyzed by a multidisciplinary team using theme identification approach. Results: Four domains with subthemes emerged illustrating participants’ perspectives: 1) strengths of BCAs; 2) limitations of BCAs; 3) needs related to the use of BCAs; and 4) characteristics of an ideal BCA. While most experts agreed that BCAs were important and useful for dementia diagnosis, the themes emphasized the need for development and validation of novel measures that are sensitive, psychometrically sound, and culturally appropriate. Conclusion: BCAs are important for guiding diagnosis and care for dementia patients. Findings provide a roadmap for novel BCA development to assist in diagnostic decision making for clinicians serving a rapidly growing and diverse dementia population.

Background: Recent cross-sectional studies highlighted the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) as an early pathophysiological event in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Objective: In this study, we longitudinally investigated by resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) a cohort of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD to evaluate the impact of VTA disconnection in predicting the conversion to AD. Methods: A cohort of 35 patients with MCI due to AD were recruited and followed-up for 24 months. They underwent cognitive evaluation and rs-fMRI to assess VTA connectivity at baseline and at follow-up. Results: At 24-month follow-up, 16 out of 35 patients converted to AD. Although converters and non-converters to AD did not differ in demographic and behavioral characteristics at baseline, the first group showed a significant reduction of VTA-driven connectivity in the posterior cingulate and precentral cortex. This pattern of additional disconnection in MCI-Converters compared to non-converters remained substantially unchanged at 24-month follow-up. Conclusion: This study reinforces the hypothesis of an early contribution of dopaminergic dysfunction to AD evolution by targeting the default-mode network. These results have potential implications for AD staging and prognosis and support new opportunities for therapeutic interventions to slow down disease progression.
