The Benefits of Active, Person-Centered Job Placement: Results From Service Providers Undergoing Organizational Transformation Away From Sheltered Employment
Authors: Lyons Oliver , Timmons Jaimie , Hall Allison , Enein-Donovan Lara , Kamau Esther 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Recent national and state-level policy changes have created an imperative for service providers to transform from sheltered work to competitive integrated employment. The current study sought to understand the impact of participation in a 1-year, comprehensive technical assistance pilot designed to support service providers to transform away from sheltered workshops towards encouraging competitive integrated employment and delivering job development supports. Findings showed competitive integrated employment is attainable if given the appropriate organizational emphasis and when effective job development practices are implemented to a strategically identified group. Implications highlight the values of slowly preparing individuals for competitive integrated employment; facilitating an active, person-centered job placement process; engaging key stakeholders in job development; and focusing on individual job placement in the context of organizational transformation.
Multi-parameter measurement of a multi-point high-frequency vibration signal in an OFDR system
Authors: Song Muping , Chen Ge , Cui Enxue , Yuxin Zhang 
Published: May 2022

The phase cross-correlation function of an optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) system is proposed to detect a multi-point vibration event, which is verified in detail by theoretical simulation and experiment. An OFDR system based on a non-tunable laser source with digital sweep frequency is developed. It is verified experimentally that the location and frequency resolution of multi-point high-frequency vibration can be detected by analyzing the phase cross-correlation function of the sensing signal. High-frequency signals of 50 kHz and 20 kHz are located and separated on the 8 km optical fiber. The frequency resolution is 1.26 kHz, and the minimum spatial error is 11.5 m.
Diel changes of the optical backscattering coefficient of oceanic particulate matter determined from diel changes in apparent optical properties: a case study in the Mediterranean Sea (BOUSSOLE site)

Using in situ measurements of radiometric quantities and of the optical backscattering coefficient of particulate matter (

b

bp

) at an oceanic site, we show that diel cycles of

b

bp

are large enough to generate measurable diel variability of the ocean reflectance. This means that biogeochemical quantities such as net phytoplankton primary production, which are derivable from the diel

b

bp

signal, can be potentially derived also from the diel variability of ocean color radiometry (OCR). This is a promising avenue for basin-scale quantification of such quantities because OCR is now performed from geostationary platforms that enable quantification of diel changes in the ocean reflectance over large ocean expanses. To assess the feasibility of this inversion, we applied three numerical inversion algorithms to derive

b

bp

from measured reflectance data. The uncertainty in deriving

b

bp

transfers to the retrieval of its diel cycle, making the performance of the inversion better in the green part of the spectrum (555 nm), with correlation coefficients

and a variability of 40% between the observed and derived

b

bp

diel changes. While the results are encouraging, they also emphasize the inherent limitation of current inversion algorithms in deriving diel changes of

b

, which essentially stems from the empirical parameterizations that such algorithms include.
Polarimetric multiple scattering LiDAR model based on Poisson distribution
Authors: Roy Gilles , Tremblay Grégoire 
Published: May 2022

Multiple
scattering
is always present in LiDAR measurements. It is one of the major causes
of LiDAR signal depolarization when detecting backscattering from
water clouds. For a given probing wavelength, the LiDAR signal is a
function of the aerosol size distribution, cloud range, and optical
depth, and of the LiDAR field of view (FoV). We present a relatively
simple polarimetric multiple scattering model. It uses Poisson
statistics to determine the photons’ scattering order distribution at
a given optical depth and takes into account the aerosol’s properties
as well as the characteristics of the LiDAR. The results are compared
with Monte Carlo simulations performed on two types of cumulus clouds
and on a moderate water fog. Good agreement is demonstrated for the
total LiDAR signal and the depolarization parameter for a FoV of
1 mrad and a large FoV of 12 mrad.
Stabilizing the carrier–envelope phase of an amplified Ti:sapphire laser pulse to a noise level of sub-100  mrad
Authors: Nishimiya Kaito , Noda Takuma , Suda Akira 
Published: May 2022

To generate an intense femtosecond pulse with an energy of several mJ or more, the pulse must be sufficiently stretched and compressed using grating-based optics in a chirped pulse amplification system. However, the stability of the carrier–envelope phase (CEP) is readily degraded by movement of the diffraction gratings due to vibration caused by pump lasers and other equipment. By suppressing the vibration and acoustic waves, we reduced the CEP noise to much less than 100 mrad (rms). With feedback control using a wedge pair with a single shot

interferometer (1 ms integration time), we were able to stabilize the CEP, achieving a CEP noise of 58 mrad (rms) at a pulse energy of 0.5 mJ and 99 mrad (rms) at a pulse energy of 7 mJ and a repetition rate of 1 kHz. We also analyzed the effects of vibration on the pulse stretcher and compressor using a geometrical optics approach and found that roof mirrors were the most influential.

Published: May 2022

ZusammenfassungGroße gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen wie die COVID-19-Pandemie und der globale Klimawandel haben die Art und Weise wie Menschen zusammenarbeiten und über Arbeit nachdenken für immer verändert. Aber was bedeutet das konkret für Organisationen? Genau diese Frage wird in diesem Artikel anhand einer Fallstudie über das Transformationsprojekt eines deutschen Forschungsinstituts hin zu nachhaltiger hybrider Arbeit untersucht. Der analysierte Fall ist besonders interessant, weil sich das Forschungsinstitut zusätzlich der Herausforderung eines anstehenden Umzugs noch während der COVID-19-Pandemie gegenübersah. Der Artikel zielt darauf ab, Erfahrungen und Handlungsempfehlungen für eine adäquate Gestaltung der Rahmenbedingungen für nachhaltige hybride Arbeit in allen Phasen der Transformation darzustellen. Erstens wird ein konkretes New-Work-Konzept entlang mehrerer Dimensionen für nachhaltige hybride Arbeit präsentiert, das durch Erkenntnisse in der Literatur und durch Erfahrungen aus deren praktischer Anwendung entwickelt wurde. Zweitens werden Einblicke in die Umsetzung gegeben, dabei das Zusammenspiel mehrerer interdisziplinärer Teams aufgezeigt und Good Practices auf dem Weg zu nachhaltiger hybrider Arbeit abgeleitet. Der Beitrag hebt sich von bisherigen Erkenntnissen ab, da er hybride Arbeit und Nachhaltigkeit vereint und Wege der integrierten, interdisziplinären Umsetzung aufzeigt. So geben unsere Ergebnisse anderen New-Work-Forschenden Grundlage und Struktur, um das Konzept nachhaltige hybride Arbeit und der Entwicklung und Messung ihrer Erfolgsfaktoren tiefergehend zu untersuchen. Praktiker können das Konzept und die Good Practices als Blaupause für die eigene Transformation hin zu nachhaltiger hybrider Arbeit verwenden und davon ausgehend organisationsindividuelle Anpassungen vornehmen.
A spectrum of free software tools for processing the VCF variant call format: vcflib, bio-vcf, cyvcf2, hts-nim and slivar
Authors: Garrison Erik , Kronenberg Zev N. , Dawson Eric T. , Pedersen Brent S. , Prins Pjotr 
Published: May 2022

Since its introduction in 2011 the variant call format (VCF) has been widely adopted for processing DNA and RNA variants in practically all population studies—as well as in somatic and germline mutation studies. The VCF format can represent single nucleotide variants, multi-nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions, and simple structural variants called and anchored against a reference genome.
Here we present a spectrum of over 125 useful, complimentary free and open source software tools and libraries, we wrote and made available through the multiple vcflib, bio-vcf, cyvcf2, hts-nim and slivar projects. These tools are applied for comparison, filtering, normalisation, smoothing and annotation of VCF, as well as output of statistics, visualisation, and transformations of files variants. These tools run everyday in critical biomedical pipelines and countless shell scripts. Our tools are part of the wider bioinformatics ecosystem and we highlight best practices.
We shortly discuss the design of VCF, lessons learnt, and how we can address more complex variation through pangenome graph formats, variation that can not easily be represented by the VCF format.
The efficiency and safety of alendronate versus teriparatide for treatment glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis: A meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Liu Zhi-Ming , Zhang Min , Zong Yuan , Zhang Ding , Shen Zhu-Bin , Guan Xiao-Qing , Yin Fei 
Published: May 2022

Background
Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is the most common secondary osteoporosis, alendronate (ALE) and teriparatide (TPTD) are widely used in the treatment of GIOP. However, which of these two drugs has a better curative effect needs the support of evidence-based medicine.

Methods
We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for randomized controlled trials of ALE and TPTD in the treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis until February 2022. These patients included in the study took glucocorticoid doses greater than 7.5 mg/d for more than 3 months before treatment with ALE and TPTD. The risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) are used as the influence index of discontinuous data, and the standardized mean difference (SMD) and its 95% CI are used as the influence index of continuous data.

Results
A total of 4102 patients were enrolled in all 5 studies that met the admission criteria. We found that compared with ALE, TPTD could reduce the rate of new vertebral fracture (RR = 0.13, 95% CI: 0.05–0.34, P<0.00001). TPTD increased LS bone mineral density (BMD) (0.53, 95% CI 0.42–0.64, P<0.00001), TH BMD (0.17, 95% CI 0.05–0.28, P = 0.004) and FN BMD (0.17, 95% CI 0.05–0.29, P = 0.006) compared to ALE. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of non-vertebral fracture and adverse events between the two groups.

Conclusions
Compared with ALE, TPTD is an effective drug to reduce vertebral fracture risk in patients with GIOP. Furthermore, long-term use of TPTD can increase the bone mineral density of LS, FN, and TH.

Authors: Tarazona-Alvarez Beatriz , Zamora-Martinez Natalia , Garcia-Sanz Veronica , Paredes-Gallardo Vanessa , Bellot-Arcis Carlos , Lucas-Dominguez Rut , Vidal-Infer Antonio 
Published: May 2022

Background
As part of the Open Science movement, this study aims to analyze the current state of open access and open data policies concerning the availability of articles and raw data of the journals belonging to the category “Medicine, General & Internal” of the Science Citation Index Expanded.

Methods
Journal data sharing policies were evaluated through the following variables: possibility of manuscript storage in repositories; reuse policy; publication on a website; and statement regarding complementary material. Subsequently, an analysis of the supplementary material associated with each article was performed through the PubMed Central repository. The study reported was assessed following the STROBE guidelines for observational studies.

Results
This study shows that only one-third of the journals included in the category “Medicine, General & Internal” allow the depositing of their documents in repositories and its reuse, while approximately half of the journals agree to publish the document on a website as well as to deposit supplementary material along with the publication. However, the reality about this last variable is that only 9.5% of the articles analyzed contained supplementary material being the main journals involved, BMJ Open, JAMA Network Open, New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet and Plos Medicine.

Conclusions
The analysis of the opening policies of the journals concerning data availability in medical research reveals the unequal positioning of publishers towards the sharing of open data, the ambiguity regarding government policies about the obligation to deposit data and the need for ethical and standardization requirements in the typology/format of the data deposited without forgetting the important role that the researcher plays. Further studies based on journals indexed in medical databases other than Science Citation Index Expanded are needed.

Published: May 2022

Introduction
Uncontrolled hypertension is the most common cause of major adverse clinical events (MACE), such as myocardial infarction, strokes, and death due to CVDs, in both developed and developing countries. Western-led studies found that treated hypertensive adults with uncontrolled hypertension were more at-risk of all-cause and CVD-specific mortality than normotensives. The PRospEctive longituDInal sTudy of Treated HyperTensive patients of Northern-Bangladesh (PREDIcT-HTN) study principally aims to estimate the incidence of MACE in treated hypertensive patients and identify the determinants of MACE. The secondary objective is to find the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension in treated hypertensive patients and the associated risk factors.

Methods and analysis
The treated hypertensive patients were obtained from the Hypertension and Research Center (H&RC), Rangpur, Bangladesh, from January to December 2020. Based on the eligibility criteria, 2643 patients were included to constitute the PREDIcT-HTN cohort. Baseline data was retrieved from the H&RC registry, and five follow-up waves are planned yearly (2021–2025). A questionnaire will be administered at each follow-up visit on hypertension control status, behavioral factors, quality of life, dietary adherence, and high blood pressure compliance-related variables. The participant will be right censored if the patient develops MACE, death due to any cause, loss to follow-up, or at the end of the study. A proportional hazard model will identify the risk factors of MACE. Multinomial logistic regression analyses will be performed to determine the predictors of the hypertension control status by medication and dietary adherence after adjusting confounders.

Ethics and dissemination
The ethical approval for this study was obtained from the Institutional Review Board, North South University [Ref: 2019/OR-NSU/IRB-No.0902]. The participants will provide written consent to participate. The findings will be disseminated through manuscripts in clinical/academic journals and presentations at professional conferences and stakeholder communication.

Introduction
Due to their common routes of transmission, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and/or hepatitis C virus (HCV) has become a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in Africa, where these viruses are endemic. Few systematic reviews report the epidemiological data of HBV and/or HCV coinfection with HIV in Africa, and none provided data on the case fatality rate (CFR) associated with this coinfection. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and case fatality rate of HBV and/or HCV infections among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) in Africa.

Methods
We conducted a systematic review of published articles in PubMed, Web of Science, African Journal Online, and African Index Medicus up to January 2022. Manual searches of references from retrieved articles and grey literature were also performed. The meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model. Sources of heterogeneity were investigated using subgroup analysis, while funnel plots and Egger tests were performed to assess publication bias.

Results
Of the 4388 articles retrieved from the databases, 314 studies met all the inclusion criteria. The overall HBV case fatality rate estimate was 4.4% (95% CI; 0.7–10.3). The overall seroprevalences of HBV infection, HCV infection, and HBV/HCV coinfection in PLHIV were 10.5% [95% CI = 9.6–11.3], 5.4% [95% CI = 4.6–6.2], and 0.7% [95% CI = 0.3–1.0], respectively. The pooled seroprevalences of current HBsAg, current HBeAg, and acute HBV infection among PLHIV were 10.7% [95% CI = 9.8–11.6], 7.0% [95% CI = 4.7–9.7], and 3.6% [95% CI = 0.0–11.0], respectively. Based on HBV-DNA and HCV-RNA detection, the seroprevalences of HBV and HCV infection in PLHIV were 17.1% [95% CI = 11.5–23.7] and 2.5% [95% CI = 0.9–4.6], respectively. Subgroup analysis showed substantial heterogeneity.

Conclusions
In Africa, the prevalence of hepatotropic viruses, particularly HBV and HCV, is high in PLHIV, which increases the case fatality rate. African public health programs should emphasize the need to apply and comply with WHO guidelines on viral hepatitis screening and treatment in HIV-coinfected patients.

Yuxtaposición narrativa a través de la metaficción
Authors: Cabello Bustos María Jesús 
Published: May 2022

Una de las características que define el cine de Woody Allen son las referencias al séptimo arte. Continuamente se observa cómo sus personajes acuden a proyecciones cinematográficas. Sin duda, la más icónica de estas situaciones en su filmografía ocurre en La rosa púrpura de El Cairo (1985), donde la dicotomía realidad-ficción se fusiona traspasando los personajes sus respectivas narrativas. Partiendo de la idea que Buster Keaton desarrollara en El moderno Sherlock Holmes (1924), Allen recupera la memoria de Keaton reelaborando la idea de la permeabilidad entre ambas narrativas, permitiendo al director reinterpretar la alegoría platónica de la caverna a través de los personajes de la película, esclavos de un guion que representan una y otra vez. De un modo similar, la cuarta entrega de la saga Matrix presenta un nuevo mundo autoconsciente y metaficcional. Con Matrix Resurrections (2021) Lana Wachowski realiza una vuelta de tuerca al sistema ficcional de Matrix, creando un Matrix dentro de Matrix.
El objetivo de esta comunicación es realizar un acercamiento a la utilización de la metaficción partiendo de la yuxtaposición entre ambas narrativas, que conllevan una transgresión de los niveles de la narración.
