description: Introduction: La carie dentaire est considérée comme le quatrième fléau mondial, après les cancers, les maladies cardio-vasculaires et le sida. La nécessité de réaliser des études épidémiologiques pour quantifier l’importance de ce problème de santé publique est en besoin constant. L’objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer la prévalence de l’atteinte carieuse et l’indice CAO des patients consultant au centre de soin et de recherche dentaire (CSRD) Cheikh Zaid de RABAT, ainsi que leurs connaissances, attitudes et pratiques en matière de la santé bucco-dentaire. Méthodologie : Il s’agissait d’une étude descriptive transversale analytique, d’une période allant du 14 avril au 20 mai 2021. Elle s’est déroulée au CSRD, et effectuée auprès d’un échantillon de 100 patients. L’étude portait sur tous les patients ayant acceptés à participer à l’enquête. Pour la collecte des données, une fiche d’enquête a été élaborer à cet effet ; et les observations cliniques pour savoir l’état dentaire afin d’évaluer la prévalence et l’indice CAO. Résultats : La prévalence de la carie dentaire était de 98%. Le degré de sévérité de l’atteinte carieuse était modéré traduit par l’indice CAO 9,1. L’évaluation des connaissances, attitudes et pratiques a montré des résultats inférieurs aux estimations prévues. Conclusion : La prévalence élevée de la carie impose de déployer tous les efforts pour une nouvelle orientation de la politique de santé bucco-dentaire basée sur le volet préventif.

description: Digital ads on social-media platforms play an important role in shaping access to economic opportunities. Our work proposes and implements a new third-party auditing method that can evaluate racial bias in the delivery of ads for education opportunities. Third-party auditing is important because it allows external parties to demonstrate presence or absence of bias in social-media algorithms. Education is a domain with legal protections against discrimination and concerns of racial-targeting, but bias induced by ad delivery algorithms has not been previously explored in this domain. Prior audits demonstrated discrimination in platforms' delivery of ads to users for housing and employment ads. These audit findings supported legal action that prompted Meta to change their ad-delivery algorithms to reduce bias, but only in the domains of housing, employment, and credit. In this work, we propose a new methodology that allows us to measure racial discrimination in a platform's ad delivery algorithms for education ads. We apply our method to Meta using ads for real schools and observe the results of delivery. We find evidence of racial discrimination in Meta's algorithmic delivery of ads for education opportunities, posing legal and ethical concerns. Our results extend evidence of algorithmic discrimination to the education domain, showing that current bias mitigation mechanisms are narrow in scope, and suggesting a broader role for third-party auditing of social media in areas where ensuring non-discrimination is important.

A Hypercritical Accretion Scenario In Central Compact Objects Accompanied With An Expected Neutrino Burst
Creators: name: MORALES, Gibran
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The measurement of the period derivative and the canonical model of dipole radiation have provided methods to estimate the low superficial magnetic fields in the so-called Central Compact Objects (CCOs). In the present work, a scenario is introduced to explain the magnetic behavior of such CCOs. Based on MHD simulations of the post core-collapse supernova phase during the hypercritical accretion episode, we argue that the magnetic field of newborn neutron star could have been early buried. During this phase, thermal neutrinos are created mainly by pair annihilation, plasmon decay, photo-neutrino emission and other processes. We study the dynamics of these neutrinos estimating the number and flavor ratio of neutrinos expected on Earth. The neutrino burst is the only viable observable that could provide compelling evidence of the hypercritical phase and then, the hidden magnetic field scenario as an alternative one that could explain the anomalous low magnetic fields estimated for CCOs.

appearance at the 14 kiloton NOvA Far Detector, the experiment is addressing outstanding questions in neutrino physics, including the neutrino mass hierarchy and existence of leptonic CP violation. The NOvA Test Beam program, under deployment at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility, will use a scaled-down NOvA detector to sample beams of tagged electrons, muons, pions, and protons in the momentum range of 0.3 to 2 GeV/c. It will further the NOvA physics reach by precisely measuring the detector's muon energy scale and electromagnetic and hadronic response, and provide real data for detailed studies of particle identification techniques. Ongoing efforts on beamline instrumentation, data acquisition, simulation, momentum reconstruction and particle identification are presented. Implications for the neutrino oscillation measurements are discussed.

description: Les traumatismes fermés du pancréats sont des lésions graves engageant le pronostic vital. La clinique et les moyens d’imagerie ne permettent pas toujours de poser le diagnostic. L’exploration chirurgicale reste donc indispensable. Cependant de nouvelles techniques endoscopiques à but thérapeutique et diagnostic semblent prometteuses. Nous rapportons 5 cas de traumatismes fermés abdominales avec lésions pancréatiques tous opérés au service des Urgences Chirurgicales Viscérale du CHU Ibn Sina de Rabat, entre janvier 2015 et août 2020. Tout nos patients ont subi un traumatisme fermé de l'abdomen, Quatres sont arrivés en état de choc et quatres se sont présentés avec des douleurs abdominales. Quatres de nos patients ont bénéficié d'un BodyScan, aucun n'a révélé une lésion pancréatique. La lipasémie préopératoire était positive chez 2 patients. Tous nos patients ont bénéficié d'une chirurgie en urgence. Lors de l'exploration peropératoire 4 patients avaient une lésion au niveau de la queue et 1 patient au niveau du corps du pancréas. Une ascension de la lipasémie a été marquée chez 2 malades en post opératoire, et 2 reprises chirurgicales ont été nécessaires. Nous rapportons un décès. Les traumatismes fermés de l’abdomen sont des affections graves dont le diagnostic est difficile à cause des présentations cliniques peu spécifiques et une imagerie peu fiable. L’exploration chirurgicale reste l'étape la plus importante permettant de diagnostiquer et de prendre en charge les lésions pancréatiques. Le développement de techniques endoscopiques permet à présent d’envisager une approche mini invasive de ces traumatismes.

The non-trivial K-theory conditions and tadpole cancellation conditions severely restrict the number of allowed models even for the case of rectangular two-tori. Using a supervised search algorithm, we find a few four-family models where the highest wrapping number is 2. For these models, we present the complete particle spectra and the gauge coupling relations at the string-scale.

description: As a first step toward developing statistical models based on upper and
lower probabilities, we study upper probabilities and upper expectations on
the unit interval that are symmetric, by which we mean invariant with
respect to equimeasurability. These upper probabilities are generalizations
of uniform probability measures. We give some characterizations of these
upper probabilities. Specifically, we show that symmetry of the upper
expectation functional is equivalent to the underlying set of densities being
closed under majorization. We also show that a function is the upper
distribution for a symmetric upper probability if and only if its lower graph
is star-shaped with respect to the origin and to the point (1, 1). We derive
inner and outer approximations to symmetric classes of probabilities based
on the upper probability. The class of symmetric upper expectations that
are completely determined by their values on the indicator functions is
characterized. We provide a geometric characterization of a hierarchy of
upper probabilities including Fine's generalized upper probabilities and
2-alternating Choquet capacities. In particular, we establish a 1-1 correspondence
between symmetric, 2-alternating capacities and non-increasing
density functions. We prove that undominated generalized upper probabilities
do not exist in the symmetric case. Examples from robust statistics are
considered. An example is given that shows that symmetry of upper
probabilities does not imply symmetry of upper expectations. A corollary is
that symmetry of the Choquet integral does not imply symmetry of the
upper expectation functional.

description: Through extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we systematically study the effect of chain stiffness on the packing ability of linear polymers composed of hard spheres in extremely confined monolayers, corresponding effectively to 2D films. First, we explore the limit of random close packing as a function of the equilibrium bending angle and then quantify the local and global order by the degree of crystallinity and the nematic or tetratic orientational order parameter, respectively. A multi-scale wealth of structural behavior is observed, which is inherently absent in the case of athermal individual monomers and is surprisingly richer than its 3D counterpart under bulk conditions. As a general trend an isotropic to nematic transition is observed at sufficiently high surfaces coverages which is followed by the establishment of the tetratic state, which in turn marks the onset of the random close packing. For chains with right-angle bonds, the incompatibility of the imposed bending angle with the neighbor geometry of the triangular crystal leads to a singular intra- and inter-polymer tiling pattern made of squares and triangles with optimal local filling at high surface concentrations. The present study could serve as a first step towards the design of hard colloidal polymers with tunable structural behavior for 2D applications.

We apply our model to a data set provided by an online grocer. The data contain detailed household purchase
records for every category in the store. Our results indicate that the reduction in assortment reduces overall store
sales, a result that contrasts with that of all of the recent studies on assortment reductions (Food Marketing

find the reduction had a negative effect on both shopping frequency and purchase quantity, and we find that
the decline in shopping frequency resulted in a greater loss than did the reduction in purchase quantities. We
also find that the impact of the assortment cut varies widely by category, with less-frequently purchased categories
more adversely affected. The variation in the assortment reduction’s impact across categories suggests
that managers compare select categories in order to moderate the overall loss in sales.

description: Carbon fusion is important to understand the late stages in the evolution of a massive star. Astronomically interesting energy ranges for the 12C+12C reactions have been, however, poorly constrained by experiments. Theoretical studies on stellar evolution have relied on reaction rates that are extrapolated from those measured in higher energies. In this work, we update the carbon fusion reaction rates by fitting the astrophysical S-factor data obtained from direct measurements based on the Fowler, Caughlan, & Zimmerman (1975) formula. We examine the evolution of a 20 M_sun star with the updated 12C+12C reaction rates performing simulations with the MESA (Modules for Experiments for Stellar Astrophysics) code. Between 0.5 and 1 GK, the updated reaction rates are 0.35 to 0.5 times less than the rates suggested by Caughlan and Fowler (1988). The updated rates result in the increase of core temperature by about 7% and of the neutrino cooling by about a factor of three. Moreover, the carbon-burning lifetime is reduced by a factor of 2.7. The updated carbon fusion reaction rates lead to some changes in the details of the stellar evolution model, their impact seems relatively minor compared to other uncertain physical factors like convection, overshooting, rotation, and mass-loss history. The astrophysical S-factor measurements in lower energies have large errors below the Coulomb barrier. More precise measurements in lower energies for the carbon burning would be useful to improve our study and to understand the evolution of a massive star.

The Lasso Problem and Uniqueness

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Probability
subject: Statistics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The lasso is a popular tool for sparse linear regression, especially for problems in which the number of variables p exceeds the number of observations n. But when p > n, the lasso criterion is not strictly convex, and hence it may not have a unique minimum. An important question is: when is the lasso solution well-defined (unique)? We review results from the literature, which show that if the predictor variables are drawn from a continuous probability distribution, then there is a unique lasso solution with probability one, regardless of the sizes of n and p. We also show that this result extends easily to ℓ1 penalized minimization problems over a wide range of loss functions.
A second important question is: how can we manage the case of non-uniqueness in lasso solutions? In light of the aforementioned result, this case really only arises when some of the predictor variables are discrete, or when some post-processing has been performed on continuous predictor measurements. Though we certainly cannot claim to provide a complete answer to such a broad question, we do present progress towards understanding some aspects of non- uniqueness. First, we extend the LARS algorithm for computing the lasso solution path to cover the non-unique case, so that this path algorithm works for any predictor matrix. Next, we derive a simple method for computing the component-wise uncertainty in lasso solutions of any given problem instance, based on linear programming. Finally, we review results from the literature on some of the unifying properties of lasso solutions, and also point out particular forms of solutions that have distinctive properties.

Languages of Rupture: Language Ideology and the Modern Novel in Egypt and Turkey

Subjects: subject: Turkish literature
subject: Anthropological linguistics
subject: Arabic literature

description: In arguing for the central role of language in the creation of the modern nationalist imaginary, scholars of recent literary histories of both Egypt and Turkey have focused a great deal of energy on commonly accepted narratives of linguistic dysfunction. In Egypt and other Arabic speaking countries, the "diglossia problem" has been the locus for conversations about monologic subjectivity, colonial violence, and the counter-hegemonic politics of language. In Turkey, the language reforms are said to have created a mix of cultural aphasia and historical amnesia, brought on in particular by self-inflicted lexical impoverishment. In these accounts, both popular and scholarly, the epistemic ruptures of modernity are embedded in language itself. However, from the perspective of linguistics, both of these apparent dysfunctions are ideological projections, having little to do with either language's actual communicative functions and everything to do with the social meaning of variation, in a word indexicality. Taking seriously the insights of indexicality, this dissertation argues for a different account of the relationship between language, ideology, and literature. Such an account aims not only to expose the Whorfian underpinnings of many previous literary histories, but to recast literature's relationship to national language as one not of coercion and resistance, but one in which literature itself benefits narratologically from the forms that standard language ideology provides.

description: The molecular dynamics of regioregulated poly(3-hexylthiophene) P3HT is investigated using muon spin relaxation ($μ$SR). The response of the $μ$SR spectra to a longitudinal magnetic field ($B_{\rm LF}$, parallel to the initial muon spin direction) indicates that the implanted muons form both muonated radicals localized on the thiophene ring and diamagnetic states with comparable yields. Moreover, the unpaired electron in the radical undergoes hyperfine interactions with muon bound to thiophene and with neighboring protons, whose fluctuations can serve as a measure for the molecular dynamics. The $B_{\rm LF}$ dependence of the longitudinal muon spin relaxation rate ($1/T_{1μ}$) measured in detail at several temperatures is found to be well reproduced by the spectral density function $J(ω)$ derived from the local susceptibility that incorporates the Havriliak-Negami (H-N) function used in the analysis of dielectric relaxation, $χ(ω)\propto1/[1-i(ω/\tildeν)^δ]^γ$ (where $\tildeν$ is the mean fluctuation rate, and $0<γ, δ\le1$). The magnitude of $\tildeν$ and its temperature dependence deduced from the analysis of $1/T_{1μ}$ are found to be consistent with the motion of hexyl chains and thiophene rings suggested by $^{13}$C-NMR. The present result marks a methodological milestone in the application of $μ$SR to the dynamics of complex systems with coexisting fluctuations over a wide range of time scales, such as polymers.

description: The joint peristimulus time histogram (JPSTH) and cross-correlogram provide a visual representation of correlated activity for a pair of neurons, and the way this activity may increase or decrease over time. In a companion paper (Cai et al. 2004a) we showed how a Bootstrap evaluation of the peaks in the smoothed diagonals of the JPSTH may be used to establish the likely validity of apparent time-varying correlation. As noted by Brody (1999a,b) and Ben-Shaul et al. (2001), trial-to-trial variation can confound correlation and synchrony effects. In this paper we elaborate on that observation, and present a method of estimating the time-dependent trial-to-trial variation in spike trains that may exceed the natural variation displayed by Poisson and non-Poisson point processes. The statistical problem is somewhat subtle because relatively few spikes per trial are available for estimating a firing-rate function that fluctuates over time. The method developed here uses principal components of the trial-to-trial variability in firing rate functions to obtain a small number of parameters (typically two or three) that characterize the deviation of each trial's firing rate function from the across-trial average firing rate, represented by the smoothed PSTH. The Bootstrap significance test of Cai et al. (2004a) is then modified to accommodate these general excitability effects. This methodology allows an investigator to assess whether excitability effects are constant or time-varying, and whether they are shared by two neurons. It is shown that trial-to-trial variation can, in the absence of synchrony, lead to an increase in correlation in spike counts between two neurons as the length of the interval over which spike counts are computed is increased. In data from two V1 neurons we find that highly statistically significant evidence of dependence disappears after adjustment for time-varying trial-to-trial variation.

description: Introduction : La toxicomanie au cours de la grossesse a des conséquences graves sur la mère, le fœtus et le nouveau-né souvent majorées par la fréquence des poly-intoxications (drogues + tabac + alcool) et de l’utilisation conjointe des benzodiazépines. Elle est fréquemment associée aux infections virales HIV, hépatites B et C, et à une situation économique psychosociale et sanitaire précaire. Des études américaines portant sur des femmes toxicomanes dans un contexte de maternité estiment que 45000 nouveau-nés sont exposés in utero à la cocaïne et 10000 aux opiacés. L’incidence du syndrome d’alcoolisme fœtal est de 1-2 pour 1000 naissances, alors que les effets de l’alcool sur le fœtus est de 3-5 pour 1000 naissances. Matériel et méthodes : Sur une période de six mois allant du 1er Janvier au 30 Juin 2015, on a pu recenser quatre cas de femmes toxicomanes qui ont accouché dans notre formation. Résultats : Les femmes avaient une situation socioéconomique précaire. Elles étaient tabagiques et deux d’entre elles consommaient aussi de l’alcool et du cannabis. Les grossesses se sont compliquées de mort fœtale dans deux cas, de naissance prématuré à 27 SA suivi de décès néonatal précoce dans un cas et de RCIU dans un cas. Conclusion : La gravité de la toxicomanie maternelle au cours de la grossesse doit faire considérer cette dernière comme une grossesse à haut risque qui nécessite un suivi régulier et une prise en charge adaptée jusqu’à l’accouchement et en postnatal pour réduire la morbidité maternelle et néonatale.

description: The Human Protein Atlas contains immunofluorescence images showing subcellular locations for thousands of proteins. These are currently annotated by visual inspection. In this paper, we describe automated approaches to analyze the images and their use to improve annotation. We began by training classifiers to recognize the annotated patterns. By ranking proteins according to the confidence of the classifier, we generated a list of proteins that were strong candidates for reexamination. In parallel, we applied hierarchical clustering to group proteins and identified proteins whose annotations were inconsistent with the remainder of the proteins in their cluster. These proteins were reexamined by the original annotators, and a significant fraction had their annotations changed. The results demonstrate that automated approaches can provide an important complement to visual annotation.

description: Few technologies are more widespread in modern biological laboratories than imaging. Recent advances in optical technologies and instrumentation are providing hitherto unimagined capabilities. Almost all these advances have required the development of software to enable the acquisition, management, analysis and visualization of the imaging data. We review each computational step that biologists encounter when dealing with digital images, the inherent challenges and the overall status of available software for bioimage informatics, focusing on open-source options.

description: Quorum quenching (QQ) by cell entrapping beads (CEBs) is known to inhibit biofouling by its biological and physical cleaning effect. Although there are better QQ media reported, due to the ease of fabrication of QQ-CEBs, this study focused on improving the quality of CEBs by comparing two distinct bead-making methods – polyvinyl alcohol-alginate (PVA-alginate) and phase inversion – and on finding the optimum concentration of QQ bacteria in the CEBs. The evaluation of PVA-alginate bead showed better uniformity, and higher mechanical and chemical strength in comparison with the phase inversion bead. Through the operations of two control membrane bioreactors (MBRs) (no bead, vacant bead) and four QQ-MBRs with different Rhodococcus sp. BH4 concentrations (2.5–15 mg cell ml−1) in PVA-alginate CEBs, the maximum QQ effect was observed by 5 mg ml−1 BH4 concentration beads. This implies that an optimum cell concentration of QQ-CEBs is crucial to economically improve MBR performance using QQ.
