AbstractThe dynamics of the process$$ e^+e^- \rightarrow \pi ^+\pi ^-\pi ^0 $$e+e-→π+π-π0is studied in the energy region from 1.15 to 2.00 GeV using data accumulated with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000$$e^+e^-$$e+e-collider. The Dalitz plot distribution and$$\pi ^+\pi ^-$$π+π-mass spectrum are analyzed in a model including the intermediate states$$\rho (770)\pi $$ρ(770)π,$$\rho (1450)\pi $$ρ(1450)π, and$$\omega \pi ^0$$ωπ0. As a result, the energy dependences of the$$\rho (770)\pi $$ρ(770)πand$$\rho (1450)\pi $$ρ(1450)πcross sections and the relative phases between the$$\rho (770)\pi $$ρ(770)πamplitude and the$$\rho (1450)\pi $$ρ(1450)πand$$\omega \pi ^0$$ωπ0amplitudes are obtained. The$$\rho (1450)\pi $$ρ(1450)πcross section has a peak in the energy region of the$$\omega (1650)$$ω(1650)resonance (1.55–1.75 GeV). In this energy range the contributions of the$$\rho (770)\pi $$ρ(770)πand$$\rho (1450)\pi $$ρ(1450)πstates are of the same order of magnitude. No resonance structure near 1.65 GeV is observed in the$$\rho (770)\pi $$ρ(770)πcross section. We conclude that the intermediate state$$\rho (1450)\pi $$ρ(1450)πgives a significant contribution to the decay of$$\omega (1650)\rightarrow \pi ^+\pi ^-\pi ^0$$ω(1650)→π+π-π0, whereas the$$\rho (770)\pi $$ρ(770)πmechanism dominates in the decay$$\omega (1420)\rightarrow \pi ^+\pi ^-\pi ^0$$ω(1420)→π+π-π0.
Effect of back reaction on light quark energy loss in heavy quark cloud

AbstractWe study the effect of back reaction on the energy loss of light quarks in strongly coupled $${\mathcal {N}}=4$$

N
=

supersymmetric Yang–Mills (SYM) plasma, by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We perform the analysis within falling string and shooting string approaches, respectively. It is shown that the back reaction, arising from the presence of static heavy quarks uniformly distributed over SYM, enhances the energy loss, in agreement with the findings of the drag force and jet quenching parameter.
Human biases in body measurement estimation
Authors: Martynov Kirill , Garimella Kiran , West Robert 
Published: October 2020

AbstractBody measurements, including weight and height, are key indicators of health. Being able to visually assess body measurements reliably is a step towards increased awareness of overweight and obesity and is thus important for public health. Nevertheless it is currently not well understood how accurately humans can assess weight and height from images, and when and how they fail. To bridge this gap, we start from 1,682 images of persons collected from the Web, each annotated with the true weight and height, and ask crowd workers to estimate the weight and height for each image. We conduct a faceted analysis taking into account characteristics of the images as well as the crowd workers assessing the images, revealing several novel findings: (1) Even after aggregation, the crowd’s accuracy is overall low. (2) We find strong evidence of contraction bias toward a reference value, such that the weight of light people and the height of short people are overestimated, whereas the weight of heavy people and the height of tall people are underestimated. (3) We estimate workers’ individual reference values using a Bayesian model, finding that reference values strongly correlate with workers’ own height and weight, indicating that workers are better at estimating people similar to themselves. (4) The weight of tall people is underestimated more than that of short people; yet, knowing the height decreases the weight error only mildly. (5) Accuracy is higher on images of females than of males, but female and male workers are no different in terms of accuracy. (6) Crowd workers improve over time if given feedback on previous guesses. Finally, we explore various bias correction models for improving the crowd’s accuracy, but find that this only leads to modest gains. Overall, this work provides important insights on biases in body measurement estimation as obesity-related conditions are on the rise.
Exorcising ghosts in quantum gravity
Authors: Kuntz Iberê 
Published: October 2020

AbstractWe remark that Ostrogradsky ghosts in higher-derivative gravity, with a finite number of derivatives, are fictitious as they result from an unjustified truncation performed in a complete theory containing infinitely many curvature invariants. The apparent ghosts can then be projected out of the quadratic gravity spectrum by redefining the boundary conditions of the theory in terms of an integration contour that does not enclose the ghost poles. This procedure does not alter the renormalizability of the theory. One can thus use quadratic gravity as a quantum field theory of gravity that is both renormalizable and unitary.
Abstract 426: Effects of Non-syndromic Mitral Valve Prolapse on Valvular Interstitial Cell Extracellular Vesicle-associated Non-coding RNA in a Spontaneous Canine Disease Model
Authors: Meola Dawn , Robinson Sally , Yang Vicky 
Published: October 2020

Non-syndromic mitral valve prolapse (MVP), or Barlow’s Disease, is a valvular heart disease with a prevalence of 2-3% in the human adult population. Consequences of MVP include mitral regurgitation that without surgical treatment can progress to congestive heart failure, arrhythmias and sudden death. Since MVP is a degenerative disease that worsens with age, surgical risk is of concern with an older population, necessitating the development of alternative strategies for early detection and effective medical intervention. Similar to humans, canine MVP is age-related with a lifetime prevalence close to 90%, providing a large population for study. Canine MVP represents a relevant spontaneous large animal model to dissect the mechanistic underpinnings of disease pathogenesis and evaluate novel treatment. We hypothesize that extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their associated non-coding RNA (ncRNA) may play a role in this disease by enabling propagation of the fibroblast-to-myofibroblast phenotypic switch in mitral valvular interstitial cells (VICs).
VICs were isolated from 12 normal and 14 diseased canine mitral valves and cultured in defined chemical media for 48 hours. EVs were isolated from conditioned media using size exclusion chromatography. Total RNA was isolated from EVs with the Qiagen miReasy Plasma/Serum kit, and from VIC cells with the mirVana miRNA Isolation Kit. Sequencing libraries were created using QIAseq miRNA Library Kit, and RNAseq was performed with Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer with single read 100 base format. Reads were mapped to canine ncRNA databases (miRbase, RFam). VICs from diseased valves had higher expression of αSMA than cells from normal valves (p = 0.002) based on RT-qPCR. Sequence analysis showed decreased content of tRNA (p = 0.023) and miRNA precursor (p = 0.036) in EVs from diseased VICs, in addition to decreased expression of let-7f. Cells from diseased valves had lower Y-RNA content (p = 0.007). miR-8859a and miR-451 were preferentially packaged into EVs from both normal and diseased VICs. Preferential packaging of miR-155 was seen in normal VIC EVs and miR-191 in diseased VIC EVs. Functional roles of these miRs will need to be confirmed to determine their therapeutic potential for treatment of MVP.
Magic and Memory
Authors: Silva Gabriel A.F. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
In this article, I examine the nature of Dido’s magic ritual in Aeneid 4, reading it as a magic ritual aimed at inducing forgetfulness. I argue that in burning his belongings, Dido intends to forget Aeneas and not to destroy him; for this purpose, I study this episode in the light of non-literary sources and of the poetic tradition concerning love magic and the obliteration of memory.
Minorities among Minorities: The Case of Hindu Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh
Authors: Mithun Mahanam Bhattacharjee , Arefin Ahamedul 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
The Rohingya community in Myanmar has been the subject of persecution and violent attacks that have forced them to flee the country and to take refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh several times in history. The latest wave of conflict-led displacement in August 2017 forced nearly a million Rohingya ethnic minorities to take refuge in Bangladesh. However, this time, a small number of Hindu Rohingya refugees also arrived in the refugee camps of Bangladesh. As they are small in number and considered insignificant by the international community, the attention on them has long been minimal. This study constitutes an exploratory research endeavour using qualitative research methodologies. It aims to reveal the main reasons behind their exodus, migration journey and refugee life in Bangladesh.
A Test of Ontological Relativity
Authors: Myers Steve 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Jung saw a role for the methods of natural science in analytical psychology alongside other ways of developing of knowledge. This paper puts a cryptic and undeveloped idea in Psychological Types to the test using the principles of Karl Popper’s philosophy of science. The idea is a combination of Jung’s philosophy, esse in anima, and his theory of opposites applied to politics. It is explained using a term coined by the philosopher W.V.O Quine—ontological relativity. There are key similarities between the two philosophical concepts, due to Jung and Quine having a common influence in William James’ radical empiricism. The ontological relativity of political opposites is subjected to three tests that attempt to falsify it. All three attempts at falsification fail, which therefore provides some support for the idea. However, there are a number of anomalous results that raise significant questions requiring further research. This paper should therefore be viewed as the first step in a programme of research to examine the ontological relativity of political opposites that is inherent within esse in anima.
Sea Level Pressure Trends: Model-Based Assessment of Detection, Attribution, and Consistency with CMIP5 Historical Simulations
Authors: Knutson Thomas R. , Ploshay Jeffrey 
Published: October 2020

AbstractObserved sea level pressure (SLP) trends for 1901–10, 1951–10, and 1981–2010 are assessed using two observed data sources (HadSLP2_lowvar and 20CRv3) compared to a CMIP5 multimodel ensemble. The CMIP5 simulations include runs with (i) no external forcing (Control runs), (ii) natural external forcing only (Natural-Forcing), or (iii) natural plus anthropogenic forcings combined (All-Forcings). We assess whether the CMIP5 All-Forcing ensemble is consistent with observations and whether there is model-based evidence for detectable anthropogenic influence for the observed SLP trends. For the 1901–2010 and 1951–2010 trends, a robustly detectable anthropogenic signal in both observational data products is a zonal band of SLP increase extending over much of the Southern Hemisphere extratropics (30°–50°S). In contrast, the HadSLP2_lowvar and 20CRv3 observed data products disagree on the sign of the century-scale trends in SLP over much of the low-latitude region 25°N–25°S. These differences will limit confident detection/attribution/consistency conclusions for lower-latitude regions, at least until the observational data product discrepancies are better reconciled. The Northern Hemisphere extratropics remains a difficult region for identifying any detectable anthropogenic influence for annual- or seasonal-mean SLP trends. Overall, our results highlight the difficulty in detecting and attributing anthropogenic signals in SLP for relatively short time scales. The observed 1981–2010 regional trends typically have a different pattern and magnitude from the simulated externally forced trends. Consequently, our results suggest that internal variability is likely the dominant driver of most observed 1981–2010 regional trend features, including the pronounced increase in SLP over the central and eastern equatorial Pacific.
Local Impact of Stochastic Shallow Convection on Clouds and Precipitation in the Tropical Atlantic

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe local impact of stochastic shallow convection on clouds and precipitation is tested in a case study over the tropical Atlantic on 20 December 2013 using the Icosahedral Nonhydrostatic Model (ICON). ICON is used at a grid resolution of 2.5 km and is tested in several configurations that differ in their treatment of shallow convection. A stochastic shallow convection scheme is compared to the operational deterministic scheme and a case with no representation of shallow convection. The model is evaluated by comparing synthetically generated irradiance data for both visible and infrared wavelengths against actual satellite observations. The experimental approach is designed to distinguish the local effects of parameterized shallow convection (or lack thereof) within the trades versus the ITCZ. The stochastic cases prove to be superior in reproducing low-level cloud cover, deep convection, and its organization, as well as the distribution of precipitation in the tropical Atlantic ITCZ. In these cases, convective heating in the subcloud layer is substantial, and boundary layer depth is increased as a result of the heating, while evaporation is enhanced at the expense of sensible heat flux at the ocean’s surface. The stochastic case where subgrid shallow convection is deactivated below the resolved deep updrafts indicates that local boundary layer convection is crucial for a better representation of deep convection. Based on these results, our study points to a necessity to further develop parameterizations of shallow convection for use at the convection-permitting resolutions and to assuredly include them in weather and climate models even as their imperfect versions.
The association between crawling as a first mode of mobilisation and the presentation of atraumatic shoulder instability: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Williams Deborah J , Jaggi Anju , Douglas Tania 
Published: October 2020

Background and purpose To investigate if there is an association between whether an infant crawls as their first mode of mobilisation and the subsequent presentation of atraumatic shoulder instability. Patients and methods A retrospective cohort of 50 consecutive patients who had presented to a national specialist centre for shoulder instability with a diagnosis of atraumatic instability was compared with a cohort of 50 participants who did not have shoulder instability. Primary outcomes were presence of atraumatic shoulder instability and whether or not the patient crawled as their first mode of mobility. A Pearson chi-squared test was used to evaluate associations. Results There was a significant association between crawling and shoulder instability ( X2(1) ≥ 11.93, p = 0.001) with a higher prevalence of non-crawlers in the group with shoulder instability compared to the control group. Interpretation There may be an association between developmental milestones and atraumatic shoulder instability. It cannot be concluded from this study whether association is causal and additional research is needed to further investigate this relationship. Asking patients presenting with shoulder instability about their developmental milestones as part of a full subjective history could guide a more targeted sensorimotor rehabilitation programme.
Mikropolitik im Spiegelbild empirischer Organisationsforschung
Authors: Engelhart Roman 
Published: October 2020

Mit den Profiles of Organizational Influence Strategies (POIS), dem Influence Behavior Questionnaire (IBQ) und der Perceptions of Organizational Politics Scale (POPS) werden drei wichtige Fragebogeninstrumente zur Darstellung mikropolitischer Verhaltensweisen bzw. sozialer Einflußprozesse in Organisationen einer vergleichenden Sekundäranalyse unterzogen. Teil 1 dieses Beitrags befaßt sich mit den POIS, die neuerdings auch im deutschsprachigen Raum (Wunderer/Weibler 1992) eingesetzt werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die Skalen hinsichtlich Reliabilität und Validität hinter den postulierten Erwartungen ihrer Entwickler zurückbleiben und nicht zur Anwendung in organisationspsychologischen Studien empfohlen werden können.
Karriere für Sekretärinnen?
Authors: Scheinecker Martina , Zdiarsky Christine 
Published: October 2020

Der folgende Beitrag stellt ein bei der Firma Alcatel Austria AG durchgeführtes personalwirtschaftliches Projekt dar, dessen Ziele darin bestanden, differenzierte Berufsbilder für Sekretärinnen sowie ein Modell für eine Laufbahn im Sekretariatsberuf zu erarbeiten und neue Karrierewege im Wechsel zwischen Sekretariatsfunktion und anderen Funktionen im Unternehmen aufzuzeigen. Das Projekt wurde vom Personalchef des Unternehmens geleitet, die Autorinnen wirkten in der Rolle als externe Beraterinnen mit. Die Annahme, daß unter dem Titel “Sekretärin” sehr unterschiedliche Typen von Aufgaben geleistet werden, wurde durch die Untersuchung bestätigt. Auf Basis der Befunde wurde ein Laufbahnmodell entwickelt, das ausgehend von einer Grundqualifikation als Bürokraft oder einfacher Sachbearbeiterin Entwicklungswege einerseits zur Chefsekretärin, andrerseits zur Gruppenleiterin mit fallweiser Stellvertretung der Abteilungsleitung – bzw. sogar zur Abteilungsleiterin – vorzeichnet. Charakteristikum dieses Modells ist, daß es auch in fortgeschritteneren Entwicklungsphasen noch Übertrittsmöglichkeiten zwischen den beiden Schienen: Sekretariats-Laufbahn und Sachbearbeitungs-Laufbahn mit Weiterentwicklungsmöglichkeit zur Führungstätigkeit erlaubt.

Abstract
HLA disparity is the major predictor of outcome following unrelated donor (UD) transplantation, where a single mismatch (mm) at the HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, or HLA-DRB1 locus leads to increased mortality, and mismatching at multiple loci compounds this effect. In contrast, HLA disparity has not been shown to increase mortality in the context of haploidentical transplant using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy). To better define the consequences of loci-specific HLA mm, we analyzed 208 consecutive patients undergoing haploidentical transplantation for hematologic malignancy using PTCy at our institution (median age, 52 years [range, 19-75 years]; peripheral blood stem cell, 66%; reduced-intensity conditioning, 59%). Median follow-up was 65.4 months (range, 34.3-157.2 months). In univariate analysis, a single class II HLA mm at HLA-DR, HLA-DQ or a nonpermissive (np) HLA-DP mm had a protective effect on disease-free and overall survival (OS), primarily a result of reduced relapse risk. Furthermore, this survival effect was cumulative, so that patients with 3 class II mm (HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, and np HLA-DP) had the best OS. In multivariate analysis, HLA-DR mm and np HLA-DP mm were both independently associated with improved OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.43; P =.001; and HR, 0.47; P =.011, respectively). In contrast, single or multiple mm at HLA-A, HLA-B, or HLA-C loci had no effect on acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), nonrelapse mortality (NRM), relapse, or survival, although the presence of an HLA-A mm was associated with increased chronic GVHD incidence. The association of class II mm with lower relapse occurred without a corresponding increase in NRM or acute or chronic GVHD. These findings will require validation in larger registry studies.
Improving continuity of care of patients with respiratory disease at hospital discharge
Authors: Dummer Jack , Stokes Tim 
Published: October 2020

Continuity of care refers to the delivery of coherent, logical and timely care to an individual. It is threatened during the transition of care at hospital discharge, which can contribute to worse patient outcomes. In a traditional acute care model, the roles of hospital and community healthcare providers do not overlap and this can be a barrier to continuity of care at hospital discharge. Furthermore, the transition from inpatient to outpatient care is associated with a transition from acute to chronic disease management and, in a busy hospital, attention to this can be crowded out by the pressures of providing acute care. This model is suboptimal for the large proportion of patients admitted to hospital with acute-on-chronic respiratory disease.In a chronic care model, the healthcare system is designed to give adequate priority to care of chronic disease. Integrated care for the patient with respiratory disease fits the chronic care model and responds to the fragmentation of care in a traditional acute care model: providers integrate their respiratory services to provide continuous, holistic care tailored to individuals. This promotes greater continuity of care for individuals, and can improve patient outcomes both at hospital discharge and more widely.Educational aimsTo understand the concept of continuity of care and its effect at the transition between inpatient and outpatient care.To understand the difference between the acute and chronic models of healthcare.To understand the effect of integration of care on continuity of care for patients with respiratory disease and their health outcomes.
Inhibition of the harmful alga Microcystis aeruginosa by sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) bark

Published: October 2020

AbstractTo utilize woody waste for the inhibition of harmful algae, we examined the growth inhibitory activities of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) bark powder against Microcystis aeruginosa, which is a cyanobacteria species that causes algal blooms in lake or pond areas. The growth of M. aeruginosa was inhibited by the direct mixing of sugi bark powder into media in flasks. The inhibitory activity against M. aeruginosa was decreased when the bark underwent organic solvent extractions. Thus, the inhibitory activity was promoted by the extract components. After solvent extraction, the bark maintained a level of inhibitory activity suggestive of both chemical and physical effects. These results show that the growth of M. aeruginosa can be suppressed by directly using sugi bark with no extraction treatment.
