description: This thesis presents the artistic practice and research for the performance KATALOIPA, which was created for the partial fulfillment of the MA in Theatre Performance: History, Theory and Practice (Programme: Scenography), of the School of Drama, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The first chapter presents the theoretical background for the better understanding of the concepts and the methodology described below. Also, it analyzes issues of visual dramaturgy and costume design in the performing arts and modern fashion design. The second chapter examines the methodology followed by the creative team in order to produce the artistic part of the thesis, while issues of visual dramaturgy and their application, construction techniques, the outcome and the intentions behind the artistic practice are also discussed. The thesis focuses on two episodes of the performance, for the creation of which costume design and fashion design are the key practices. An appendix provides photographic and other material (text, music, etc.) used for each episode.

description: Fermion-boson stars are solutions of the gravitationally coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon-Hydrodynamic equations system. By means of methods developed in previous works, we perform a stability analysis of fermion-boson stars that include a quartic self-interaction in their bosonic part. Additionally, we describe the complete structure of the stability and instability regions of the space of free parameters, which we argue is qualitatively the same for any value of the quartic self-interaction. The relationship between the total mass of mixed stars and their general stability is also discussed in terms of the structure identified within the stability region.

description: The p-star model or exponential random graph is among the oldest and best-known of network models. Here we give an analytic solution for the particular case of the 2-star model, which is one of the most fundamental of exponential random graphs. We derive expressions for a number of quantities of interest in the model and show that the degenerate region of the parameter space observed in computer simulations is a spontaneously symmetry broken phase separated from the normal phase of the model by a conventional continuous phase transition.

description: In this article, we introduce a Stata implementation of coarsened exact matching, a new method for improving the estimation of causal effects by reducing imbalance in covariates between treated and control groups. Coarsened exact matching is faster, is easier to use and understand, requires fewer assumptions, is more easily automated, and possesses more attractive statistical properties for many applications than do existing matching methods. In coarsened exact matching, users temporarily coarsen their data, exact match on these coarsened data, and then run their analysis on the uncoarsened, matched data. Coarsened exact matching bounds the degree of model dependence and causal effect estimation error by ex ante user choice, is monotonic imbalance bounding (so that reducing the maximum imbalance on one variable has no effect on others), does not require a separate procedure to restrict data to common support, meets the congruence principle, is approximately invariant to measurement error, balances all nonlinearities and interactions in sample (i.e., not merely in expectation), and works with multiply imputed datasets. Other matching methods inherit many of the coarsened exact matching method’s properties when applied to further match data preprocessed by coarsened exact matching. The cem command implements the coarsened exact matching algorithm in Stata.

Geometry of escort distributions

description: Given an original distribution, its statistical and probabilistic attributs may be scanned by the associated escort distribution introduced by Beck and Schlogl and employed in the formulation of nonextensive statistical mechanics. Here, the geometric structure of the one-parameter family of the escort distributions is studied based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence and the relevant Fisher metric. It is shown that the Fisher metric is given in terms of the generalized bit-variance, which measures fluctuations of the crowding index of a multifractal. The Cramer-Rao inequality leads to the fundamental limit for precision of statistical estimate of the order of the escort distribution. It is also quantitatively discussed how inappropriate it is to use the original distribution instead of the escort distribution for calculating the expectation values of physical quantities in nonextensive statistical mechanics.

description: This study aimed to assess the economic burden of subsequent fracture in osteoporosis patients with incident fracture. The authors conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of the South Korean national health insurance claims data. Study subjects included osteoporosis patients aged ≥50 with incident fracture (July 1, 2014–June 30, 2015). Fracture-related 1-year healthcare cost was evaluated after incident fracture for patients with and without subsequent fracture, defined as a fracture occurring within 2 years from incident fracture at a different site or at the same site after 6-months washout period. Per-patient-per-month (PPPM) cost was calculated by dividing each patient’s cumulative healthcare cost until subsequent fracture with time-to-subsequent-fracture. For the patients without subsequent fracture, PPPM cost equaled 1-year monthly cost. A generalized linear model (GLM) was used to estimate the ratio of increase in healthcare cost to assess the economic impact of subsequent fracture. A total of 73,717 osteoporosis patients with incident fracture were identified, consisting of 52.1% vertebral, 1.9% hip, and 46.0% non-vertebral-non-hip fractures. Subsequent fracture occurred in 17.9% of patients with average time-to-subsequent-fracture of 256 days. Patients with subsequent fracture had significantly higher 1-year healthcare cost after incident fracture than those without subsequent fracture ($4,307 vs $1,721) and the difference was greater in PPPM cost ($930 vs $141). GLM analysis showed that having subsequent fracture increased both 1-year healthcare cost and PPPM cost by 1.91-fold (95% CI = 1.87–1.95) and 6.14-fold (95% CI = 5.99–6.28), respectively. Subsequent fracture imposes a substantial burden on osteoporosis patients and, therefore, more efforts are needed for preventing subsequent fracture among osteoporosis patients.

description: Recent observations have successfully detected UV or infrared flux from galaxies at the epoch of reionization. However, the origin of their radiative properties has not been fully understood yet. Combining cosmological hydrodynamic simulations and radiative transfer calculations, we present theoretical predictions of multi-wavelength radiative properties of the first galaxies at z=6-15. We find that most of the gas and dust are ejected from star-forming regions due to supernova (SN) feedback, which allows UV photons to escape. We show that the peak of SED rapidly shifts between UV and infrared wavelengths on a timescale of 100 Myr due to intermittent star formation and feedback. When dusty gas covers the star-forming regions, the galaxies become bright in the observed-frame sub-millimeter wavelengths. In addition, we find that the escape fraction of ionizing photons also changes between 1-40% at z>10. The mass fraction of HII region changes with the star formation history, resulting in the fluctuations of metal lines and Lyman-alpha line luminosities. In the starbursting phase of galaxies with the halo mass $\sim 10^{11}\,{\rm M_{\odot}}$ ($10^{12}\,{\rm M_{\odot}}$), the simulated galaxy has $L_{\rm [O\,III]} \sim 10^{42}\, (10^{43})\, {\rm erg\,s^{-1}}$, which is consistent with the observed star-forming galaxies at z>7. Our simulations suggest that deep [C II] observation with ALMA can trace the distribution of neutral gas extending over $\sim 20$ physical kpc. We also find that the luminosity ratio $L_{\rm [O\,III]}/L_{\rm [C\,II]}$ decreases with bolometric luminosity due to metal enrichment. Our simulations show that the combination of multi-wavelength observations by ALMA and JWST will be able to reveal the multi-phase ISM structure and the transition from starbursting to outflowing phases of high-z galaxies.

description: Assessing the instability of a multivariable model is important but is rarely done in practice. Model instability occurs when selected predictors—and for multivariable fractional polynomial modeling, selected functions of continuous predictors—are sensitive to small changes in the data. Bootstrap analysis is a useful technique for investigating variations among selected models in samples drawn at random with replacement. Such samples mimic datasets that are structurally similar to that under study and that could plausibly have arisen instead. The bootstrap inclusion fraction of a candidate variable usefully indicates the importance of the variable. We describe Stata tools for stability analysis in the context of the mfp command for multivariable model building. We offer practical guidance and illustrate the application of the tools to a study in prostate cancer.

description: To evaluate utilization of anticoagulants (ACs) and the predictors of treatment of patients with a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) during a hospital stay in the USA. Patients (≥18 years of age) who had a primary or secondary discharge diagnosis code of AF during a hospitalization (without a diagnosis of venous thromboembolism) were identified from the Premier Hospital database (1 January 2016–30 September 2017). AC treatments were examined during hospitalizations to assign AF patients into 3 study cohorts: those who received an oral AC (OAC), those who received parenteral AC only, and those who did not receive AC therapy. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out to evaluate potential predictors of receiving parenteral AC only vs. OAC therapy, no AC therapy vs. OAC therapy, as well as the specific OAC drug choices. Of the patients hospitalized with an AF diagnosis (n = 482,729; mean age: 74.7 years; 46.8% female; 82.9% White; 79.4% with Medicare), 42.6% received OAC therapy (most commonly, warfarin or apixaban), 35.3% parenteral AC only, and 22.2% no AC therapy. A key predictor of not receiving OAC therapy was having an AF diagnosis in the second position (applicable to 87.4% of study population). Greater comorbidity level and prior baseline bleeding were strong predictors of receiving parenteral AC only or not receiving any AC therapy vs. receiving OAC therapy. Predictors of receiving warfarin vs. apixaban included higher stroke risk and prior baseline bleeding. OAC utilization may have been underestimated since outpatient OAC utilization was not included in the analysis. A substantial portion of hospitalized AF patients did not receive any AC therapy, particularly those patients with an AF diagnosis in the second position on hospital records. The predictors of inpatient AC treatment that were identified may be helpful in the clinical decision-making process for patients who are hospitalized with AF.
Isomorphism Invariants for Linear Quasigroups

description: For a unital ring $S$, an $S$-linear quasigroup is a unital $S$-module, with automorphisms $ρ$ and $λ$ giving a (nonassociative) multiplication $x\cdot y=x^ρ+y^λ$. If $S$ is the field of complex numbers, then ordinary characters provide a complete linear isomorphism invariant for finite-dimensional $S$-linear quasigroups. Over other rings, it is an open problem to determine tractably computable isomorphism invariants. The paper investigates this isomorphism problem for $\mathbb{Z}$-linear quasigroups. We consider the extent to which ordinary characters classify $\mathbb{Z}$-linear quasigroups and their representations of the free group on two generators. We exhibit non-isomorphic $\mathbb{Z}$-linear quasigroups with the same ordinary character. For a subclass of $\mathbb{Z}$-linear quasigroups, equivalences of the corresponding ordinary representations are realized by permutational intertwinings. This leads to a new equivalence relation on $\mathbb{Z}$-linear quasigroups, namely permutational similarity. Like the earlier concept of central isotopy, permutational similarity is intermediate between isomorphism and isotopy.

We study the photon statistics of two orthogonally polarized modes by solving a master equation, and show that when we prepare a coherent state in one polarization mode, photon pairs are created in the other mode. The photon pairs have the same frequency as that of the incident light.

description: In nonlinear regression models, such as probit or logit models, coefficients cannot be interpreted as partial effects. The partial effects are usually nonlinear combinations of all regressors and regression coefficients of the model. We derive the partial effects in such models with a triple dummy-variable interaction term. The formulas derived here are implemented in the Stata inteff3 command. The command also applies the delta method to compute the standard errors of the partial effects. We illustrate the use of the command with an empirical application, analyzing how the gender gap in labor-market participation is affected by the presence of children and a university degree. We find that the presence of children increases the gender gap in labor-market participation but that this increase is smaller for more highly educated individuals.

description: In this article, I introduce the user-written command craggit, which simultaneously fits both tiers of Cragg’s (1971, Econometrica 39: 829–844) “twotier” (sometimes called “two-stage” or “double-hurdle”) alternative to tobit for corner-solution models. A key limitation to the tobit model is that the probability of a positive value and the actual value, given that it is positive, are determined by the same underlying process (i.e., the same parameters). Cragg proposed a more flexible alternative that allows these outcomes to be determined by separate processes through the incorporation of a probit model in the first tier and a truncated normal model in the second. Also, tobit is nested in craggit, making the latter a popular choice among “two-tier” models. In the article, I also present postestimation syntax to facilitate the understanding and interpretation of results.

description: Although cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has proven beneficial in several randomized trials, a subset of patients have limited clinical improvement. The AdaptivCRT algorithm provides automated selection between synchronized left ventricular or biventricular pacing with optimization of atrioventricular delays. The rationale and design of the economic analysis of the AdaptResponse clinical trial are described. The costs associated with HF hospitalization are substantial and are compounded by a high rate of readmission. HF hospitalization payments range from $1,001 for Greece to $12,235 for US private insurance. When examining the breakdown of HF-related costs, it is clear that approximately 55% of the hospitalization costs are directly attributable to length of stay. Notably, the mean costs of a CRT patient in need of a HF-related hospitalization are currently estimated to be an average of $10,679. The economic analysis of the AdaptResponse trial has two main objectives. The hospital provider objective seeks to test the hypothesis that AdaptivCRT reduces the incidence of all-cause re-admissions after a heart failure admission within 30 days of the index event. A negative binomial regression model will be used to estimate and compare the number of readmissions after an index HF hospitalization. The payer economic objective will assess cost-effectiveness of CRT devices with the AdaptivCRT algorithm relative to traditional CRT programming. This analysis will be conducted from a U.S. payer perspective. A decision analytic model comprised of a 6-month decision tree and a Markov model for long term extrapolation will be used to evaluate lifetime costs and benefits. AdaptivCRT may offer improvements over traditional device programming in patient outcomes. How the data from AdaptResponse will be used to demonstrate if these clinical benefits translate into substantial economic gains is herein described.

description: Charge excitations across an electronic band gap play an important role in opto-electronics and light harvesting. In contrast to conventional semiconductors, studies of above-band-gap photoexcitations in strongly correlated materials are still in their infancy. Here we reveal the ultrafast dynamics controlled by Hund's physics in strongly correlated photo-excited NiO. By combining time-resolved two-photon photoemission experiments with state-of-the-art numerical calculations, an ultrafast ($\lesssim$ 10\,fs) relaxation due to Hund excitations and related photo-induced in-gap states are identified. Remarkably, the weight of these in-gap states displays long-lived coherent THz oscillations up to 2\,ps at low temperature. The frequency of these oscillations corresponds to the strength of the antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction in NiO and their lifetime vanishes as the Néel temperature is approached. Numerical simulations of a two-band $t$-$J$ model reveal that the THz oscillations originate from the interplay between local many-body excitations and long-range antiferromagnetic order.

The model describes charged particles in a uniform magnetic field and with an interaction defined by the Groenewold-Moyal star-product. Explicit results are presented for all Green's functions in arbitrary even spacetime dimensionality. Various scaling limits of the field theory are analysed non-perturbatively and the renormalizability of each limit examined. A supersymmetric extension of the field theory is also constructed in which the supersymmetry transformations are parametrized by differential operators in an infinite-dimensional noncommutative algebra.

Although the bilayer interaction leads to the band splitting in the electronic structure, the qualitative behaviors of the physical properties are the same as in the single layer case. The conductivity spectrum shows the low-energy peak and unusual midinfrared band, the temperature dependent resistivity is characterized by the nonlinearity metallic-like behavior in the higher temperature range, and the deviation from the metallic-like behavior in the lower temperature range, and the commensurate neutron scattering peak near the half-filling is split into six incommensurate peaks in the underdoped regime, with the incommensurability increases with the hole concentration at lower dopings, and saturates at higher dopings.

 Comments: Thomas & Yonke (1981) gave the distribution of this species as “entire U.S., northern Mexico and southern Canada,” but they did not give any specific state records. Wheeler & Krimmel (2012) stated “ Hart’s (1919) record of Banasa sordida from Maine might be a lapsus for Massachusetts because the latter state was noted to be the sole New England record (Parshley 1917, 1923a).”

description: We show that quantum feedback control can be used as a quantum error correction process for errors induced by weak continuous measurement. In particular, when the error model is restricted to one, perfectly measured, error channel per physical qubit, quantum feedback can act to perfectly protect a stabilizer codespace. Using the stabilizer formalism we derive an explicit scheme, involving feedback and an additional constant Hamiltonian, to protect an ($n-1$)-qubit logical state encoded in $n$ physical qubits. This works for both Poisson (jump) and white-noise (diffusion) measurement processes. In addition, universal quantum computation is possible in this scheme. As an example, we show that detected-spontaneous emission error correction with a driving Hamiltonian can greatly reduce the amount of redundancy required to protect a state from that which has been previously postulated [e.g., Alber \emph{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 4402 (2001)].

description: Digital fabrication (dfab) is establishing itself as a potential solution for the stagnating or declining productivity in the construction industry compared to other industries. However, industry’s will for adaption is still low. Thus research is needed to understand how traditional construction can be changed and improved. This thesis aims to investigate the effects of dfab on productivity, the impact to the current roles and collaboration schemes in Switzerland, and the information required through the different project phases, examining the NEST dfab unit as an example. In a first part, a procedure for comparison based on productivity and CYCLONE simulation technique was proposed and successfully applied to an on-site mesh mould wall case study, comparing traditional construction with dfab. The results of the assessment demonstrate that the productivity is higher for complex structures, showing that dfab can be worth adapting also from a cost perspective. In a second part, the industry and social impact of dfab is examined. Key elements and problems of dfab are investigated when trying to apply them to existing delivery systems in a transition process. Possible solutions, including integrated project delivery, building information modelling and new roles, are shown to enable dfab along the construction value chain, summarized in a proposed future construction process. Overall, this thesis provides insights in dfab based on experiences from the NEST project, showing that dfab could be sustainable in various aspects.

description: To examine the healthcare economic burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients treated with factor Xa inhibitor (FXaI) anticoagulants who were hospitalized in the US with a major bleed (MB) Adult AF patients treated with FXaIs and hospitalized with an MB were selected from MarketScan databases (1 January 2015–30 April 2018). Patients were grouped into cohorts based on type of MB: intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), gastrointestinal (GI), other types of MB. Healthcare costs in 2019 USD were evaluated for index hospitalizations and during a variable follow-up period in unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Of the overall AF patient population treated with FXaIs and hospitalized with an MB (n = 7,577), 9.9% had ICH (mean age: 77.9 years; 58% male), 55.9% had GI (mean age: 76.8 years; 52% male), and 34.2% had other types of MB (mean age: 74.4 years; 61% male). Mean index hospitalization costs for ICH, GI, and other type of MB were $54,163, $26,901, and $36,645, respectively; from adjusted analyses, patients with ICH vs. GI spent 1.6 more days in the hospital; mean cost was $15,630 higher. Patients with other types of MB vs. GI spent 0.6 more days in the hospital; mean cost was $5,859 higher. Index hospitalization cost in addition to total all-cause healthcare costs incurred in the follow-up period were $34,522 higher per ICH patient and $11,584 higher per other type of MB patient vs. a GI MB patient. Since this study was a retrospective observational study using a claims database analysis, a causal relationship between treatment with FXaIs and MB events cannot be established. Although all of the evaluated MB types were associated with high hospitalization costs, ICH was associated with the most substantial short- and long-term healthcare economic burden.
Discovery of intergalactic bridges connecting two faint $z\sim3$ quasars

description: We use MUSE/VLT to conduct a survey of $z\sim3$ physical quasar pairs at close separation with a fast observation strategy. Our aim is twofold: (i) explore the Ly$α$ glow around the faint-end of the quasar population; (ii) take advantage of the combined illumination of a quasar pair to unveil large-scale intergalactic structures extending between the two quasars. Here, we report the results for a quasar pair ($z=3.020,3.008$; $i=21.84,22.15$), separated by 11.6 arcsec (or 89 projected kpc). MUSE reveals filamentary Ly$α$ structures extending between the two quasars with an average surface brightness of SB$_{\rm Lyα}=1.8\times10^{-18}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ arcsec$^{-2}$. Photoionization models of the constraints in the Ly$α$, HeII, and CIV line emissions show that the emitting structures are intergalactic bridges with an extent between $\sim89$ and up to $\sim600$ kpc. Our models rule out the possibility that the structure extends for $\sim 2.9$ Mpc, i.e., the separation inferred from the uncertain systemic redshift difference of the quasars if the difference was only due to the Hubble flow. At the current spatial resolution and surface brightness limit, the average projected width of an individual bridge is about 35 kpc. We also detect a strong absorption in HI, NV, and CIV along the background sight-line at higher $z$, which we interpret as due to at least two components of cool, metal enriched, and relatively ionized CGM or IGM surrounding the quasar pair. Two additional HI absorbers are detected along both quasar sight-lines at $\sim -900$ and $-2800$ km s$^{-1}$ from the system, with the latter having associated CIV absorption only along the foreground quasar sight-line. The absence of galaxies in the MUSE field of view at the redshifts of these two absorbers suggests that they trace large-scale structures or expanding shells in front of the quasar pair.

description: Since 1983, hemin has been FDA-approved for acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) attacks. In 2019, FDA approved givosiran for the treatment of adults with acute hepatic porphyria. The objective of this research was to estimate and compare the total cost of AIP-related healthcare for patients treated with hemin or givosiran. A microsimulation cost model was developed to estimate the annual economic impact of hemin versus givosiran treatment for patients with AIP from the U.S. healthcare payer perspective. Hemin treatment costs were calculated from the Hemin Shipment Data in which patients were defined as receiving acute attack treatment or prophylaxis treatment based on shipment patterns. Three separate hemin subpopulations were considered: one attack per year, multiple attacks per year, and hemin prophylaxis. Treatment costs for givosiran (with hemin for acute attacks) were simulated based on Phase III trial efficacy results applied to individual treatment histories in the Hemin Shipment Data. Other healthcare utilization was also considered. Outcomes were annualized and expenditures inflated to 2019. For all patients with AIP, the average annual total cost of care with hemin was 78% lower (difference = $482,113; 95% CI=$373,638–$594,778) than the average annual total cost of care with givosiran. Average annual total cost of care with hemin was between 46% and 92% lower than givosiran for the three hemin subpopulations: one attack per year (difference = $545,219; 95% CI=$436,584–$657,239), multiple attacks per year (difference = $459,366; 95% CI=$350,291–$574,403), and hemin prophylaxis (difference = $311,950; 95% CI=$191,898–$435,893). Cost savings with hemin were robust to one-way and probabilistic sensitivity as well as scenario analyses. Hemin is expected to provide cost savings compared to givosiran for all AIP patients and subpopulations. Lower annual total costs of care with hemin range from $311,950 to $545,219 less depending on whether the patient uses hemin prophylactically or for acute treatment attacks.

description: This paper introduced the difficulties in the handling of infected pig carcasses, such as difficulty in finding, difficulty in collection and transportation, difficulty in facility construction, and difficulty in monitoring and supervision, etc. The reasons for these difficulties are shortcomings in the top-level design of the policy to the specific measures at the grassroots level. In view of these shortcomings, the author came up with some pertinent recommendations, including improving relevant regulations and policy measures, establishing a sound system and network for the collection, transportation and processing of infected pig carcasses, reinforcing punishment and strengthening linkage and cooperation between departments.
