Bayesian Inference of Dense Matter Equation of State within Relativistic Mean Field Models Using Astrophysical Measurements
Authors: Traversi Silvia , Char Prasanta , Pagliara Giuseppe 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
We present a Bayesian analysis to constrain the equation of state of dense nucleonic matter by exploiting the available data from symmetric nuclear matter at saturation, observations of compact X-ray sources, and the gravitational wave event GW170817. For the first time, such an analysis is performed by using a class of models, the relativistic mean field models, that allow one to consistently construct an equation of state in a wide range of densities, isospin asymmetries, and temperatures. The selected class of models contains five nuclear physics empirical parameters at saturation for which we construct the joint posterior distributions. By exploring different types of priors, we find that the equations of state with the largest evidence are the ones featuring a strong reduction of the effective mass of the nucleons in dense matter, which can be interpreted as an indication of a phase transition to a chiral symmetry restored phase. Those equations of state, in turn, predict R
1.4 ∼ 12 km. Finally, we present a preliminary investigation of the effect of including Λ hyperons, showing that they appear in stars more massive than about 1.6 M
⊙ and lead to radii larger than about R
1.4 ∼ 14 km. Within the model explored here, the formation of such particles provides poor agreement with the constraints from GW170817.

Objective.To assess the prevalence of axial articular manifestations (AAMs) in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS), to investigate whether these symptoms reveal an associated spondyloarthritis (SpA), and to assess their therapeutic management.Methods.Among 148 consecutive patients with pSS fulfilling European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology 2019 classification criteria followed between 2010 and 2018, we selected those who presented with AAMs. The association with SpA was retained when patients fulfilled Assessment of SpA international Society criteria.Results.A total of 29 patients (20%, 28 women) with a median age of 43 years (range 15–65 yrs), were identified. The main extraglandular features were peripheral arthralgia and arthritis in 93% and 90% of patients, respectively. Positive anti-Ro/SSA (anti-SSA) antibody was reported in 62%. AAMs were inaugural in 7%, delayed from the diagnostic of pSS in 7%, and occurred concomitantly in 86% of patients. AAMs were not associated to multisystemic involvement of pSS. Radiographic sacroiliitis was mentioned in 65%, and HLA-B27 was positive in 13%. The diagnosis of SpA was retained in 23/29 patients (79%), among which 74% and 26% fulfilled psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis criteria, respectively. There was no phenotypic difference according to the anti-SSA antibody status. With a median follow-up of 60 months (range: 5–96), 61% of patients with associated SpA required biotherapies, mainly of anti–tumor necrosis factor-α or anti–interleukin 17A molecules with a good clinical outcome in 64% and no effect on pSS.Conclusion.AAMs are not uncommon in patients with pSS and may reveal an associated SpA. Treatment of AAMs, especially when clearly associated with SpA, may necessitate biologics, following SpA-management therapeutic guidelines.

On cohesive almost zero-dimensional spaces
Authors: Dijkstra Jan J. , Lipham David S. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWe investigate C-sets in almost zero-dimensional spaces, showing that closed$\sigma $C-sets are C-sets. As corollaries, we prove that every rim-$\sigma $-compact almost zero-dimensional space is zero-dimensional and that each cohesive almost zero-dimensional space is nowhere rational. To show that these results are sharp, we construct a rim-discrete connected set with an explosion point. We also show that every cohesive almost zero-dimensional subspace of$($Cantor set$)\!\times \mathbb R$is nowhere dense.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT

Background
Scholarly productivity is an assessment metric for dermatology residents and faculty. How the bibliometric h-index, a publicly available metric that incorporates the quantity and quality of publications, relates to early career choices of dermatologists has not been investigated.

Objective
We determined the h-indices of the 2017 diplomates of the American Board of Dermatology to ascertain its association with career choice.

Methods
A cross-sectional analysis was performed using the published list of the 2017 diplomates. Gender and PhD status were compiled. The Scopus database was queried for publications and h-indices. The primary outcome was the pursuit of an academic position, nonacademic position, or fellowship after board certification.

Results
Among 475 (96%) diplomates, the median (range) h-index was 2 (0–14). Those with MD and PhD degrees had greater h-indices (6.4 ± 3.1 vs. 2.3 ± 2.3, P &lt; .05). There was a difference (P &lt; .05) in h-index between diplomates pursuing an academic position (3.6 ± 3.1), non-procedural fellowship (3.3 ± 3.1), procedural fellowship (2.5 ± 2.0), and non-academic position (2.1 ± 2.1).

Conclusions
The h-index quantifies academic productivity and may predict early career choices in dermatology.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT

Background
Team-based primary care has the potential to improve care delivery. However, residency scheduling and precepting models make creating functional ambulatory teams challenging.

Objective
We describe the team-based care transformation at a large academic internal medicine residency practice.

Methods
On July 1, 2016, the program transitioned to a 6+2 schedule and the clinic was divided into teams. Residents were precepted by 2 team preceptors, social work and care coordination needs were met by team-specific staff, and front desk staff were trained on maintaining primary care physician (PCP) and team continuity. Weekly team meetings provided opportunities for proactive patient and panel management, and preclinic huddles incorporated staff into team functions. Pre-transformation (June 2016) and post-transformation (June 2017) surveys were distributed to residents (n = 131), faculty (n = 14), and staff (n = 65) to assess team functioning. Patient-PCP continuity was monitored on a quarterly basis.

Results
Three hundred sixty-two of 420 surveys were returned (86%). The intervention was associated with significant improvements in resident satisfaction (from 3.05 baseline to 4.07 of 5, P &lt; .001) and perceptions of teamwork (4.14 to 4.61 of 6, P &lt; .001), with moderate to large effect sizes. Patient-PCP continuity significantly increased (45% to &gt; 70%). While domain-specific improvements were seen for faculty and staff, no overall changes were noted in their perceptions of teamwork or team-based care.

Conclusions
Team-based care was implemented with significant improvements in continuity and resident satisfaction and perceptions of teamwork; however, the impact on faculty and staff was limited.

Published: July 2020

The study investigated the level of use of Media Marketing Tools (MMTs) among cassava growers in Oyo State. Interview schedule was used to collect data from a sample size of 192 respondents across the senatorial districts of the state. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that respondents’ years of farming experience, marketing experience and annual income were 16 ± 11.2 years, 12.5 ± 10.7 years, and ₦625, 833.3 ±₦416,367.2, respectively. Despite wider spread and use of media marketing tools for agricultural products and services globally, use of MMTs was low in the study area. Unstable power supply (x̄ =2.0, 0.00), high cost of devices for accessing media marketing tools (x̄ = 1.98, 0.10) and lack of technical know-how (x̄ =1.97, 0.14) were identified as constraints to the use of the tools. Significant relationship existed between awareness (r= -0.57, p=0.00) and the use of media marketing tools, while knowledge (r= 0.355, p=0.067) did not have significant association with the use of the tools. Hence, there is need for intensified awareness and training of cassava growers by all extension stakeholders on the use of MMTs for improved productivity.Keywords: Cassava growers, marketing tools, cassava marketing

Published: July 2020

This study examined participation in social group and wellbeing status of rural women in Oyo State. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to obtain data from 170 rural women who are members of selected social groups. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. More than half (54.1%) of the respondents had low level of social group participation. Benefits derived from social group participation were social control ( x̄ = 1.65), access to credits and loans ( x̄ =1.35), security of goods ( x̄ =1.62) and invitation to social functions ( x̄ =1.72). Time ( x̄ =0.64), distance of the meeting venue ( x̄ =0.45) and financial constraint ( x̄ =0.39) were some of the factors that affect social group participation among the women. There was no significant relationship between participation (r = 0.126) in social group and wellbeing status of rural women. Based on these findings, this study has implications for the assessment of social groups in rural communities as they serve as strong platform for dissemination of social and agricultural information. This study therefore recommends that social groups should be well organised by engaging in activities that will improve the quality of life of rural women in all spheres, this will increase their involvement in group activities, improve their wellbeing and ensure rural development.Keywords: Participation, social groups, social security, time, wellbeing

The study examined the adoption of selected bio-security measures against avian-influenza (HPAI-A/H5N1) outbreaks among poultry farmers in Jigawa State, Nigeria. A total of 120 respondents selected through a multistage sampling procedure was used for the study. Structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondents. Data collected were subjected to percentages, mean and binary regression. The study revealed that the high level of adoption on biosecurity measures of segregation and traffic control (x̄ =2.82), medium level of adoption for cleaning (x̄ =2.440) and low level of adoption for disinfection of the standard bio-security components (x̄ =1.290). There was a positive and significant relationship between some socio-economic characteristics (age, average monthly income, farming experience and membership of social group) and adoption of bio-security measures of poultry farmers. Constraints to adoption of biosecurity measure poultry tension/veterinary contact, lack of buffer areas (x̄ =3.21) around the farm site and inadequate access to fund (x̄ =3.21). Provision of accessible and affordable credit facilities by government to poultry farmers, and extension agents should intensify more effort on continuous training and constant veterinary services for poultry farmers in the study area towards increased capability to eradicate the negative effect of this acute and highly contagious viral disease on their means of livelihood.Keywords: Adoption of bio-security, avian-influenza, outbreak, poultry farmers
A Framework to Score the Risk Associated with Suspicious Money Laundering Activity and Social Media Profile
Authors: Parida Dillip Kumar , Kumar D. Prasanna 
Published: July 2020

Money laundering has immense entailments. The criminal who possesses black money and wants to mask it as legitimate must fabricate the source to look genuine. It makes the crime organized and more systematic to break the financial system. The existing AML (Anti Money Laundering) solutions and its design based on the creation of a transaction profile. Most of the leading AML software focuses on financial transactions and rarely focuses on linked suspicious individual’s social media profiles. Social networking is one of the most popular platforms to interact with others and millions of users use these platforms to communicate with each other from around the world. At the same time, the web has plenty of social and demographic information to create an accurate profile that aims to construct a legitimate profile. This paper consolidates the fragmented discussion from several articles and provides a detailed view of fraud profile identification. Practical insights are identified from various AML solutions and summarized from an extensive literature review. The risk scoring framework and definitions of filters can be widened to include more parameters for effective alert generation. In this paper, we propose an approach and risk scoring framework to assess customer profiles that drive the suspicious profile or transactions based on social media attributes.
A new optical-based technique for real-time measurements of mineral dust concentration in PM10 using a virtual impactor

Abstract. Atmospheric mineral dust influences Earth's radiative budget, cloud formation, and lifetime; has adverse health effects; and affects
air quality through the increase of regulatory PM10 concentrations,
making its real-time quantification in the atmosphere of strategic importance. Only few
near-real-time techniques can discriminate dust aerosol in PM10 samples
and they are based on the dust chemical composition. The online
determination of mineral dust using aerosol absorption photometers offers an
interesting and competitive alternative but remains a difficult task to
achieve. This is particularly challenging when dust is mixed with black
carbon, which features a much higher mass absorption cross section. We build
on previous work using filter photometers and present here for the first
time a highly time-resolved online technique for quantification of mineral
dust concentration by coupling a high-flow virtual impactor (VI) sampler
that concentrates coarse particles with an aerosol absorption photometer
(Aethalometer, model AE33). The absorption of concentrated dust particles is
obtained by subtracting the absorption of the submicron (PM1) aerosol
fraction from the absorption of the virtual impactor sample (VI-PM1 method).
This real-time method for detecting desert dust was tested in the field for
a period of 2 months (April and May 2016) at a regional background site of
Cyprus, in the Eastern Mediterranean. Several intense desert mineral dust
events were observed during the field campaign with dust concentration in
PM10 up to 45 µg m−3. Mineral dust was present most of the time
during the campaign with an average PM10 of about 8 µg m−3.
Mineral dust absorption was most prominent at short wavelengths, yielding an
average mass absorption cross section (MAC) of
0.24±0.01 m2 g−1 at 370 nm and an absorption Ångström exponent of 1.41±0.29. This MAC value can be used as a site-specific parameter for online
determination of mineral dust concentration. The uncertainty of the proposed
method is discussed by comparing and validating it with different methods.
Combining resistivity and frequency domain electromagnetic methods to investigate submarine groundwater discharge in the littoral zone

Published: July 2020

Abstract. Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is an important gateway for nutrients and pollutants from land to sea. While understanding SGD is crucial for managing nearshore ecosystems and coastal freshwater reserves, studying this discharge is complicated by its occurrence at the limit between land and sea, a dynamic environment. This practical difficulty is exacerbated by the significant spatial and temporal variability. Therefore, to capture the magnitude of SGD, a variety of techniques and measurements, applied over multiple periods, is needed. Here, we combine several geophysical methods to detect zones of fresh submarine groundwater discharge (FSGD) in the intertidal zone, upper beach, dunes, and shallow coastal area. Both terrestrial electrical-resistivity tomography (ERT; roll-along) and marine continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) are used from the shallow continental shelf up to the dunes and combined with frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) mapping in the intertidal zone. In particular, we apply an estimation of robust apparent electrical conductivity (rECa) from FDEM
data to provide reliable lateral and vertical discrimination of FSGD zones. The study area is a very dynamic environment along the North Sea,
characterized by semi-diurnal tides between 3 and 5 m. CRP is usually
applied in calmer conditions, but we prove that such surveys are possible
and provide additional information to primarily land-bound ERT surveying.
The 2D inversion models created from ERT and CRP data clearly indicate the
presence of FSGD on the lower beach or below the low-water line. This
discharge originates from a potable freshwater lens below the dunes and
flows underneath a thick saltwater lens, present from the dunes to the lower sandy beach, which is fully observed with ERT. Freshwater outflow intensity has increased since 1980, due to a decrease of groundwater pumping in the dunes. FDEM mapping at two different times reveals discharge at the same locations, clearly displays the lateral variation of the zone of discharge, and suggests that FSGD is stronger at the end of winter compared to the beginning of autumn. ERT, CRP, and FDEM are complementary tools in the investigation of SGD. They provide a high-resolution 3D image of the saltwater and freshwater distribution in the phreatic coastal aquifer over a relatively large area, both off- and onshore.

Factores cognitivos que influyen en la adquisición del español como segunda lengua
Authors: Murillo Reyes Henry Alexander 
Published: July 2020

En las últimas décadas uno de los campos más fructíferos dentro de la investigación educativa en el campo de ELE ha sido la búsqueda incansable de los principales "factores asociados al aprendizaje de segunda lengua, en especial del español como Lengua Extranjera". Desde diferentes perspectivas teóricas y áreas del conocimiento se ha intentado conocer las variables que inciden en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje relacionadas con ELE, cuál es su importancia relativa y cómo podrían ser mejoradas y de esa manera lograr un mejor y mayor aprendizaje. Uno de esos factores que han sido objeto de estudio son los denominados factores cognitivos que, según los teóricos están intrínsecamente relacionados con los afectivos, puesto que ambos el aula de lengua puede contribuir a educar a los alumnos a vivir de forma más satisfactoria y a ser miembros responsables de la sociedad. Los cognitivos, no actúan por separado, sino que interactúan entre ellos. Por ejemplo, la inteligencia, juega un papel preponderante frente a la aptitud, el estilo cognitivo, metacognición, puesto que de ella depende, en gran manera, que haya una familiaridad con las palabras y, al mismo tiempo, la capacidad de razonar analíticamente sobre las situaciones del contexto educativo que surgen como resultado de las variables contextuales o de la aplicación de un método de enseñanza. De ahí que estos factores son determinantes en el proceso de enseñanza de ELE, puesto que las estrategias de aprendizaje tienen el elemento en las que el alumno participa activamente y está implicado en el aprendizaje.

Published: July 2020

Enhancement of productivity of potato plants grown on poor-P soil such as Inceptisols due to application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has been acknowledged. However, whether this AMF improved the quality of potato tubers is still need further investigation. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of AMF in enhancing potato quality and determine whether the addition of compost and biochar to soil can support the productivity of this biofertilizer in enhancing the nutrient content in the tubers of potato plant. Screen house experiment was set up in factorial design with treatments were organic matter types (compost and compost plus biochar), and application of arbuscular mycorrhiza (without and with AMF consisted of Glomus sp. and Gigaspora sp.). Results of experiment showed that there was no interaction effect between organic matter and AMF on quality of potato tubers, however, the individual treatment especially AMF increased the content of protein and lipid of potato tubers. Biochar that added to soil with compost was also increased the lipid content of potato tubers. This finding showed that AMF application in potato production grown in poor P-soil was not only increased the yield of potato, but also increased the quality of potato tubers.
