description: Patients experience long-lasting health problems defined as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) after Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission. Little is known about PICS in primary care. To investigate whether ICU survivors encounter more new International Classification of Primary Care-2 (ICPC-2) diagnoses and general practitioner (GP) contact compared to patients with similar comorbidity without ICU admission. Prospective multicentre cohort study in three Dutch general practices. Numbers of disease-episodes and GP contacts of ICU survivors ≥ 16 years admitted between 2008 and 2017 were extracted from GPs’ information systems. A non-ICU reference cohort was matched 1:1 for age, sex, follow-up period and comorbidity groups from patients’ medical history. Negative binominal regression analysis was used to compare both cohorts 0–3, 3–6, 6–12 months, 1–2 and 2–5 years after ICU admission and 1 year prior to admission. ICU survivors (n = 199) encountered more new disease-episodes 1 year before (mean 3.97 (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.50–4.52]]; reference 2.36 [1.28–3.17]) to 2–5 years after ICU admission (3.65 [3.15–4.26]; reference 2.86 [2.52–3.22]). ICU survivors also had more GP contacts 1 year before (mean 19.61 [17.31–22.17]; reference 10.02 [7.81–12.38]) to 2–5 years after ICU admission (18.53 [15.58–21.85]; reference 12.03 [10.33–13.91]). Patients with prior ICU admission did not encounter patterns in specific ICPC-2 chapters compared to non-ICU patients. Patients admitted to the ICU encounter more new primary care disease-episodes and GP contacts. As patients present their symptoms to their GP first, it is therefore up to the GP to recognise these critical illness-related symptoms.

description: We study the nature of the low-lying dipole strength in neutron-rich nuclei, often associated to the Pygmy Dipole Resonance. The states are described within the Hartree-Fock plus RPA formalism, using different parametrizations of the Skyrme interaction. We show how the information from combined reactions processes involving the Coulomb and different mixtures of isoscalar and isovector nuclear interactions can provide a clue to reveal the characteristic features of these states.

Nature et développement du thème de l’espoir humain dans la poésie de Paul Eluard

description: L'objectif ou l'intention de la présente these est de tenter d'éclairer la nature et le développement du thème de l'espoir humain chez le poète Paul Eluard. Les critiques de cette oeuvre tres riche semblent insister sur le mérite de la poésie eluardienne d'une première période de l'oeuvre, a l'exclusion de la dernière partie, ou vice-versa. En nous basant sur une étude de l'oeuvre, nous tentons justement de montrer le dynamisme de ce passage progressif chez Eluard de l'amour exclusif a la vision, fondée sur cet amour premier, d'un amour total de l'humanité. Progression qui sera mise en valeur par quatre voies d'approche: évolution biographique, étude de l'évolution de la conception théorique de la poésie chez Eluard, analyse critique de certains thèmes et concepts principaux de l'oeuvre, et etude stylistique d'images caractéristiques qui incarnent ou traduisent 1'orientation humaine. Le premier chapitre est consacre aux principales influences historiques et littéraires qui ont mené Eluard de l'activité surréaliste a celle, publique, de la maturité. Nous essayons de donner une juste idée de l'orientation sociale de la révolte surréaliste, et de distinguer quelles activités politiques ou humanitaires, parallèlement aux épreuves personnelles, ont amène Eluard a certaines prises de position politiques et ti une poésie engagée. Le deuxième chapitre examine le développement idéologique du thème de l'espoir humain. II présente successivement deux aspects principaux de cette inspiration: la progression générale du thème dans l'oeuvre, et les affirmations de l'espoir humain dans les divers textes théoriques d'Eluard. Notre troisième chapitre constitue une présentation des poèmes significatifs et des recueils caractéristiques illustrant la progression du thème de l'espoir humain a travers l'oeuvre. Pour donner une juste idée de l'importance des thèmes dans l'économie de chaque recueil, on distinguera trois périodes principales de ce développement. Le quatrième chapitre est une analyse plus détaillée de l’évolution de certains thèmes et concepts dynamiques de l'oeuvre eluardienne. Nous observons alors 1'articulation des thèmes humanitaires sur les thèmes amoureux a travers les images de la ressemblance, du corps humain, et du monde cosmique. En relevant toute indication de mouvement ou de dynamisme, l'on verra comment se précise chez Paul Eluard la notion du devenir vital, Humain, et poétique à la fois.

description: Antipredator behavior is present in many biological systems where individuals collectively react to an imminent attack. The antipredator response may influence spatial pattern formation and ecosystem stability but requires an organism's cost to contribute to the collective effort. We investigate a nonhierarchical tritrophic system, whose predator-prey interactions are described by the rock-paper-scissors game rules. In our spatial stochastic simulations, the radius of antipredator response defines the maximum prey group size that disturbs the predator's action, determining the individual cost to participate in antipredator strategies. We consider that each organism contributes equally to the collective effort, having its mobility limited by the proportion of energy devoted to the antipredator reaction. Our outcomes show that the antipredator response leads to spiral patterns, with the segregation of organisms of the same species occupying departed spatial domains. We found that a less localized antipredator response increases the average size of the single-species patches, improving the protection of individuals against predation. Finally, our findings show that although the increase of the predation risk for a more localized antipredator response, the high mobility constraining benefits species coexistence. Our results may help ecologists understand the mechanisms leading to the stability of biological systems where locality is crucial to behavioral interactions among species.

description: Recent advances in emerging atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors with strong light-matter interactions and tunable optical properties provide novel approaches for realizing new material functionalities. Coupling two-dimensional semiconductors with all-dielectric resonant nanostructures represents an especially attractive opportunity for manipulating optical properties in both the near-field and far-field regimes. Here, by integrating single-layer WSe2 and titanium oxide (TiO2) dielectric metasurfaces with toroidal resonances, we realized robust exciton emission enhancement over one order of magnitude at both room and low temperatures. Furthermore, we could control exciton dynamics and annihilation by using temperature to tailor the spectral overlap of excitonic and toroidal resonances, allowing us to selectively enhance the Purcell effect. Our results provide rich physical insight into the strong light-matter interactions in single-layer TMDs coupled with toroidal dielectric metasurfaces, with important implications for optoelectronics and photonics applications.

Differential spectra that include both initial and final state radiation and the interference between them are produced. Three different mechanisms for the $ππγ$ final state are considered: Bremsstrahlung process (both in the framework of sQED and Resonance Perturbation Theory), the $ϕ$ direct decay ($e^+e^-\toϕ\to (f_0;f_0+σ)γ\to ππγ$) and the double resonance mechanism (as $e^+e^-\toϕ\to ρ^\pmπ^\mp\to π^+π^-γ$ and $e^+e^-\toρ\to ωπ^0\to π^0π^0γ$). Additional models can be incorporated as well.

description: A wall film model has been implemented in a customized version of KIVA code
developed at University of Bologna. Under the hypothesis of `thin laminar 
ow'
the model simulates the dynamics of a liquid wall film generated by impinging
sprays. Particular care has been taken in numerical implementation of the
model.
The major phenomena taken into account in the present model are: wall film
formation by impinging spray; body forces, such as gravity or acceleration of the
wall; shear stress at the interface with the gas and no slip condition on the wall;
momentum contribution and dynamic pressure generated by the tangential and
normal component of the impinging drops; film evaporation by heat exchange
with wall and surrounding gas. The model doesn't consider the effect of the
wavy film motion and suppose that all the impinging droplets adhere to the
film. The governing equations have been integrated in space by using a finite
volume approach with a first order upwind differencing scheme and they have
been integrated in time with a fully explicit method.
The model is validated using two different test cases reproducing PFI gasoline and DI Diesel engine wall film conditions.

description: Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of spiritual and moral principles in improving character learning. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research approach, with the type of research as a site study. Data collection techniques are done through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Data analysis techniques use interactive data patterns: data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verifying. The results of this study state that this principal's model based on spiritual morals can improve character learning. People with high spirituality tend to behave in a way that positively impacts other humans. Suppose the spiritual level of a school principal is high. In that case, deviant behaviour or fraudulent acts will not occur because of the awareness that the Creator and the adverse effects, including the burden of accountability before God in the Hereafter, monitor all his activities. Through the principalship, spiritual morals are expected to help facilitate the implementation of character education learning through student education.

description: In the recent years we have performed various experiments on the collision dynamics of highly porous dust aggregates and although we now have a comprehensive picture of the micromechanics of those aggregates, the macroscopic understanding is still lacking. We are therefore developing a mechanical model to describe dust aggregate collisions with macroscopic parameters like tensile strength, compressive strength and shear strength. For one well defined dust sample material, the tensile and compressive strength were measured in a static experiment and implemented in a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code. A laboratory experiment was designed to compare the laboratory results with the results of the SPH simulation. In this experiment, a mm-sized glass bead is dropped into a cm-sized dust aggregate with the previously measured strength parameters. We determine the deceleration of the glass bead by high-speed imaging and the compression of the dust aggregate by x-ray micro-tomography. The measured penetration depth, stopping time and compaction under the glass bead are utilized to calibrate and test the SPH code. We find that the statically measured compressive strength curve is only applicable if we adjust it to the dynamic situation with a 'softness' parameter. After determining this parameter, the SPH code is capable of reproducing experimental results, which have not been used for the calibration before.

Genetic characterization, population history and evolutionary medicine perspective in two native south american populations: Yanesha and Wichi

Subjects: BIO/08 Antropologia

description: Two Amerindian populations from the Peruvian Amazon (Yanesha) and from rural lowlands of the Argentinean Gran Chaco (Wichi) were analyzed. They represent two case study of the South American genetic variability. The Yanesha represent a model of population isolated for long-time in the Amazon rainforest, characterized by environmental and altitudinal stratifications. The Wichi represent a model of population living in an area recently colonized by European populations (the Criollos are the population of the admixed descendents), whose aim is to depict the native ancestral gene pool and the degree of admixture, in relation to the very high prevalence of Chagas disease.
The methods used for the genotyping are common, concerning the Y chromosome markers (male lineage) and the mitochondrial markers (maternal lineage). The determination of the phylogeographic diagnostic polymorphisms was carried out by the classical techniques of PCR, restriction enzymes, sequencing and specific mini-sequencing. New method for the detection of the protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi was developed by means of the nested PCR.
The main results show patterns of genetic stratification in Yanesha forest communities, referable to different migrations at different times, estimated by Bayesian analyses. In particular Yanesha were considered as a population of transition between the Amazon basin and the Andean Cordillera, evaluating the potential migration routes and the separation of clusters of community in relation to different genetic bio-ancestry.
As the Wichi, the gene pool analyzed appears clearly differentiated by the admixed sympatric Criollos, due to strict social practices (deeply analyzed with the support of cultural anthropological tools) that have preserved the native identity at a diachronic level. A pattern of distribution of the seropositivity in relation to the different phylogenetic lineages (the adaptation in evolutionary terms) does not appear, neither Amerindian nor European, but in relation to environmental and living conditions of the two distinct subpopulations.

description: Excerpts from the report: First of the basic steps toward improving the cotton situation is fitting cotton into a balanced southern economy. Achieving such balance concerns far more than good rotations, wise use of the soil, and other phases of efficient farm management on individual farms. It concerns how much cotton the South should grow, where and how it should be grown, and what kind of prices farmers should expect for it. It involves how much of what other products farmers should raise in connection with, or in place of, cotton. It concerns the whole question of the balance between farm and nonfarm jobs in the South—how many families would do best on the land, and how many in factories, stores, or offices. The demand for and the price of cotton also will have a great deal to do with cotton's future place in a balanced agriculture and a balanced economy. And the price and markets for cotton, in turn, will be greatly affected by the kind of national cotton policy we follow after the war. It is the people themselves who will say what our policy is going to be. Making the right decision for cotton will not be easy; a great many complicated situations have to be taken into account
Full Self-Consistent Projection Operator Approach to Nonlocal Excitations in Solids

description: A self-consistent projection operator method for single-particle excitations is developed. It describes the nonlocal correlations on the basis of a projection technique to the retarded Green function and the off-diagonal effective medium. The theory takes into account long-range intersite correlations making use of an incremental cluster expansion in the medium. A generalized self-consistent coherent potential is derived. It yields the momentum-dependent excitation spectra with high resolution. Numerical studies for the Hubbard model on a simple cubic lattice at half filling show that the theory is applicable in a wide range of Coulomb interaction strength. In particular, it is found that the long-range antiferromagnetic correlations in the strong interaction regime cause shadow bands in the low-energy region and sub-peaks of the Mott-Hubbard bands.

description: Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of examining and determining the influence of organizational support and culture on work engagement and performance as well as to analyze the mediating role of work engagement and moderation of age. This study used a correlational method design with a population comprising all health workers at the Kendari City Public Health Center, where the total sample used was 154 health workers. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using SEM-PLS Ver. 3. The findings of this research reveal that organizational support can significantly influence the increase in work engagement and performance of health workers as well as organizational culture. Work engagement plays a significant role in performance and partially mediates the influence of organizational support and culture on performance. Finally, the moderation test revealed that optimizing the provision of organizational support to younger health workers increased their work engagement. These findings contribute positively to understanding the role of organizations in encouraging individuals to work and improve their performance. In addition, these findings also increase the understanding of the relationship between organizational support provided to younger individuals and increasing their work engagement.

description: The STEREO mission has been providing stereoscopic view of filament eruptions in EUV. The clearest view during a filament eruption is seen in He II 304 A observations. One of the main problems visualizing filament dynamics in He II 304 A is the strong background contrast due to surface features. We present a technique that removes background features and leaves behind only the filamentary structure, as seen by STEREO-A and B. The technique uses a pair of STEREO He II 304 A images observed simultaneously. The STEREO-B image is geometrically transformed to STEREO-A view so that the background images appear similar. Filaments being elevated structures, i.e., not lying on the same spherical surface as background features, do not appear similar in the transformed view. Thus, subtracting the two images cancels the background but leaves behind the filament structure. We apply this technique to study the dynamics of the filament eruption event of 22 May 2008, which was observed by STEREO and followed by several ground-based observatories participating in the Joint Observing Programme (JOP 178).

description: We examine a novel type of disorder in quantum antiferromagnets. Our model consists of localized spins with antiferromagnetic exchanges on a bipartite quasiperiodic structure, which is geometrically disordered in such a way that no frustration is introduced. In the limit of zero disorder, the structure is the perfect Penrose rhombus tiling. This tiling is progressively disordered by augmenting the number of random "phason flips" or local tile-reshuffling operations. The ground state remains Néel ordered, and we have studied its properties as a function of increasing disorder using linear spin wave theory and quantum Monte Carlo. We find that the ground state energy decreases, indicating enhanced quantum fluctuations with increasing disorder. The magnon spectrum is progressively smoothed, and the effective spin wave velocity of low energy magnons increases with disorder. For large disorder, the ground state energy as well as the average staggered magnetization tend towards limiting values characteristic of this type of randomized tilings.

description: A robust classification method is developed on the basis of sparse subspace decomposition. This method tries to decompose a mixture of subspaces of unlabeled data (queries) into class subspaces as few as possible. Each query is classified into the class whose subspace significantly contributes to the decomposed subspace. Multiple queries from different classes can be simultaneously classified into their respective classes. A practical greedy algorithm of the sparse subspace decomposition is designed for the classification. The present method achieves high recognition rate and robust performance exploiting joint sparsity.

L’Humour dans les romans d’Alain Robbe-Grillet
Creators: name: Tubbesing, Ruth Helene
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Humour, as Alain Robbe-Grillet presents it in his six novels, comprises the comic, which makes us laugh at or about someone other than ourselves, and humour, as defined by Freud which differs from black humour only in intensity. This study discusses comedy before humour, mainly because the former appears towards the beginning of the evolution of Robbe-Grillet's novels. Considering the reader's viewpoint, the comic is also more obvious, less complex than humour arid exists almost exclusively in the narrative story. The three principle elements of any comedy may also be found in Robbe-Grillet's first four novels, that is: character, situation, and language. The mechanisation of characters, as described by Henry Bergson, identifies the comic of the first two elements. The last cannot demand earnestness for all its superfluous pomp in expression and vocabulary. In comedy, the reader is unconscious of the narrator's intervention. For this reason, the narrative viewpoint passing suddenly from one character to another finds a place here. Dramatic, often tragic incidents ending on an incongruous playful note therefore also fall into this category. To the extent that these elements express a certain aggressiveness in reflecting our weaknesses and attacking our emotions, humour is inevitably the cause. Only at the level of the "ecriture", however, does Robbe-Grillet's humour attain its full expression. The narrator is evidently the inventor of his text and also often participates in it; his uncertainty, illogical transitions and repetitions are quite contrary to the conventional expectations of the reader. The playfulness that spurs the narration on tests the reader's capacity to laugh at his own misjudgements and unfulfilled expectations, and his capacity to laugh at his own weaknesses. Robbe-Grillet's treatment of eroticism is also another way of playing with the illusions or hidden complexes of the reader who can, at the realisation of the text's intention laugh or show disappointment and frustration. Black humour is evident here, but its full realisation occurs only in Robbe-Grillet’s last book: "Projet pour une revolution a New York", where the reader is brought to experience himself.

description: The object of this work is the examination of how urban planning is combined with the circulatory planning in Greece and the emergence of the importance of implementing integrated land use and transport planning to achieve sustainability in cities.
 The study examines the relationship between land use and locomotions and also studies how these two factors interact in creating the urban environment. Still, is examined the frame of application of planning and is appointed the weakness of completed approach in the emerging questions, by the decision-making centres and the responsible institutions of application and control.
 For this reason, proposed guidelines for the creation of that framework which will address land-use planning and transport as a single system, addressing more effectively the impact on urban space by the lack of coordinated urban and circulatory planning, creating a sustainable urban environment that respects the citizen - user.

description: We have performed systematic tight-binding (TB) analyses of the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) spectra of transition-metal (TM) oxides A$M$O$_3$ ($M=$ Ti, V, Mn, and Fe) with the perovskite-type structure and compared the obtained parameters with those obtained from configuration-interaction (CI) cluster-model analyses of photoemission spectra. The values of $ε_d-ε_p$ from ARPES are found to be similar to the charge-transfer energy $Δ$ from O $2p$ orbitals to empty TM 3d orbitals and much larger than $Δ-U/2$ ($U$: on-site Coulomb energy) expected for Mott-Hubbard-type compounds including SrVO$_3$. $ε_d-ε_p$ values from {\it ab initio} band-structure calculations show similar behaviors to those from ARPES. The values of the $p-d$ transfer integrals to describe the global electronic structure are found to be similar in all the estimates, whereas additional narrowing beyond the TB description occurs in the ARPES spectra of the $d$ band.

description: We study the masses of the Higgs bosons in the most general two-Higgs-doublet model in a basis-independent approach. We adapt the recently developed Minkowski-space formalism to this problem and calculate traces of any power of the mass-matrix in a compact and reparametrization-invariant form. Our results can be used to gain insight into the dynamics of the scalar sector of the general 2HDM.

description: Bulk dc resistivity and dielectric constant measurements with temperature and frequency have been performed in LaMn_{1-x}Fe_xO_3 (0 <= x <= 1.0) as a result of Fe substitution both for the as-synthesized and oxygen annealed samples. Temperature dependence of real part of dielectric constant at different frequencies show a frequency and temperature independent value (epsilon_s) at low temperature for x >= 0.15 where epsilon_0 rises with x reaching a maximum at x = 0.5 and then it decreases sharply at x = 0.70 showing a further increasing trend with the further increase in x. The sharp drop of epsilon_s at x = 0.70 is correlated with the structural change from rhombohedral to orthorhombic structure. A considerable increase of epsilon_s ~ 43% is observed for an increase of x from 0.15 to 0.50. Furthermore, epsilon_s is increased considerably (up to ~ 17% at x = 0.5) due to the oxygen annealing for x <= 0.50. The low temperature resistivities satisfying Variable Range Hopping model are found to be related with the increase of epsilon_s with x for x <= 0.50. The analysis of the complex impedance and modulus planes at low temperature indicates the electrical inhomogeneities in the grain interior of the compounds.

description: We mainly focus on the effects of small changes of parameters on the dynamics of charged particles around the Kerr black hole surrounded by an external magnetic field, which can be considered as a tidal environment. The radial motions of charged particles on the equatorial plane are studied via an effective potential. It is found that the particle energies at the local maxima values of the effective potentials increase with an increase of the black hole spin and the particle angular momenta, but decrease with an increase of one of the inductive charge parameter and magnetic field parameter. The radii of stable circular orbits on the equatorial plane also increase, whereas those of the innermost stable circular orbits decrease. On the other hand, the effects of small variations of the parameters on the orbital regular and chaotic dynamics of charged particles on the non-equatorial plane are traced by means of a time-transformed explicit symplectic integrator, Poincaré sections and fast Lyapunov indicators. It is shown that the dynamics sensitively depends on small variations of the inductive charge parameter, magnetic field parameter, energy and angular momentum. Chaos occurs easily as each of the dynamical parameters increases. When the dragging effects of the spacetime increase, the chaotic properties are not always weakened under some circumstances.

ELIXIR Communities: Connecting infrastructure & life science experts
Creators: name: Garrard, Clare
name: Heil, Katharina
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2023

description: ELIXIR Communities are groups of experts across ELIXIR Nodes that represent a scientific or technological theme that drives the development of standards, services and/or training in and across ELIXIR. There are currently 17 ELIXIR Communities, representing diverse fields and areas of expertise.
 The Communities play an important role in ELIXIR, fostering collaboration between Nodes via transnational expert networks, as well as providing a mechanism for long-term collaboration with other ESFRIs and large-scale initiatives. The Communities also assist in facilitating consortium building for funding opportunities, if available, and provide a valuable mechanism for enabling ELIXIR to capture user needs into formal requirements. Thus the Communities are an important formal mechanism for building human and relationship capital both within and beyond ELIXIR.
 ELIXIR Communities have far-reaching impact - measured both through tangible performance metrics, and less tangible wide-spread impact. These include making research more efficient, contributing to bioinformatics resource uptake, and influencing policy. They also play an important role in contributing to research infrastructure sustainability, as well as leaving their own long-lasting scientific legacies.
 As ELIXIR continues to evolve, the Communities portfolio likewise is expanding to reflect the various areas of ELIXIR’s priorities, covering the broad themes of human data; biodiversity, food security and infectious disease; and cellular and molecular research.
 This poster aims to give an overview of the current Communities portfolio, highlights their impact, and showcases their structure and how to join.

description: Photonic crystals of close-packed arrays of air spheres in a dielectric background of titania have been fabricated with a novel ceramic technique. Unlike previous methods, ordering of the spheres and the formation of the titania network are performed simultaneously. The photonic crystals exhibit a reflectance peak and a uniform color at the position of the first stop band. The wavelength of the reflectance peak scales very well with the sphere size.

description: Theory of aging postulates that aging is a remodeling process where the body of survivors progressively adapts to internal and external damaging agents they are exposed to during several decades. Thus , stress response and adaptation mechanisms play a fundamental role in the aging process where the capability of adaptating effects, certainly, also is related the lifespan of each individual. A key gene linking aging to stress response is indeed p21, an induction of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor which triggers cell growth arrest associated with senescence and damage response and notably is involved in the up-regulation of multiple genes that have been associated with senescence or implicated in age-related . This PhD thesis project that has been performed in collaboration with the Roninson Lab at Ordway Research Institute in Albany, NY had two main aims: -the testing the hypothesis that p21 polymorphisms are involved in longevity
-Evaluating age-associated differences in gene expression and transcriptional response to p21 and DNA damage In the first project, trough PCR-sequencing and Sequenom strategies, we we found out that there are about 30 polymorphic variants in the p21 gene. In addition, we found an haplotpype located in -5kb region of the p21 promoter whose frequency is ~ 2 fold higher in centenarians than in the general population (Large-scale analysis of haplotype frequencies is currently in progress). Functional studies I carried out on the promoter highilighted that the ―centenarian‖ haplotype doesn’t affect the basal p21 promoter activity or its response to p53.
However, there are many other possible physiological conditions in which the centenarian allele of the p21 promoter may potentially show a different response (IL6, IFN,progesterone, vitamin E, Vitamin D etc). In the second part, project #2, trough Microarrays we seeked to evaluate the differences in gene expression between centenarians, elderly, young in dermal fibroblast cultures and their response to p21 and DNA damage. Microarray analysis of gene expression in dermal fibroblast cultures of individuals of different ages yielded a tentative "centenarian signature". A subset of genes that were up- or downregulated in centenarians showed the same response to ectopic expression of p21, yielding a putative "p21-centenarian" signature. Trough RQ-PCR (as well Microarrays studies whose analysis is in progress) we tested the DNA damage response of the p21-centenarian signature genes showing a correlation stress/aging in additional sets of young and old samples treated with p21-inducing drug doxorubicin thus finding for a subset of of them , a response to stress age-related.

description: Abstract

Background. Queuing activities at Health Facilities can be a source of crowding where patients often have to wait in place for a long time until their queue number is called for service. Objective. This study aims to analyze the Implementation of Online Queue Program Utilization through Mobile JKN in Outpatient service management at Inggit Medical Center. Methods. The type of research used in this study is qualitative research and data collection by interview, observation, documentation. With key informants and supporting informants using purposive sampling technique. Results. Mobile JKN provides financial benefits and efficiency in patient queues where it reduces the use of paper (paperless) and reduces the number of manual queues, Development suitability adapts to the needs of its users, but there are still some JKN mobile program users who have not implemented the program according to procedures, The use of the Mobile JKN application is more complicated than manually using a physical card as before because for some people it is still difficult to access and do not understand the use of online applications, 15% of total bpjs patients are required to register through mobile JKN and the results show that mobile JKN users exceed the predetermined target and discipline is needed in the process of implementing the online queue program through mobile JKN, Through MJKN patients become more orderly and can submit complaints by using the impression menu. Conclusion. Conduct regular monitoring and evaluation of the use of the Mobile JKN online queue application, By monitoring performance and user experience, you can identify areas of improvement and optimize services, The quality rate value issued must be more than 85%, and is usually evaluated every 3-7 days.
