description: Purpose: Disordered airway protection, including both disordered swallowing (dysphagia) and disordered cough (dystussia), is highly prevalent among persons with Parkinson’s disease (pwPD). A comprehensive understanding of the perspectives of pwPD as it relates to airway protection is currently lacking and is necessary to provide relevant, person-centered care. Therefore, this study used a parallel-convergent mixed methods design to quantitatively and qualitatively investigate pwPD’s perspectives on airway protection.Method: Thirteen pwPD were consecutively recruited from a cough training trial. Quantitative data (obtained from the Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire [SWAL-QOL] and the modified Canadian Occupational Performance Measure [mCOPM]) and qualitative data (obtained from semistructured interviews) were integrated to define participant knowledge, perceived importance, perceived performance, and psychosocial implications of airway protective deficits.Results: All participants reported basic knowledge about airway protection, which centered around four themes—physiology, the interconnectedness between bulbar functions, danger, and impaired airway protection as a consequence of PD. All participants believed that airway protection was important (median mCOPM score = 10), with three primary themes related to importance—survival, anticipated future decline, and maintaining oral intake. We identified a split between participants who perceived themselves to have “a swallowing problem” and those who did not, with three themes relating to perceived impairment—use of eating strategies, unpredictable and inconsistent symptom experience, and vigilance required to mitigate symptoms. Psychosocial ramifications centered on three key themes that aligned with three SWAL-QOL domains—overall burden, fear of future decline, and social embarrassment.Conclusion: The integration of quantitative and qualitative data in this study highlights the importance of considering unique patient perspectives to develop personalized and relevant management plans for each unique pwPD that integrate objective and clinical findings with patient priorities and needs.Supplemental Material S1.

description: The sociology of medical education was once foundational to the
field of medical sociology and, indeed, the discipline as a whole. Classics
such as Boys in White (Becker, 2002) and The Student Physician (Merton
et al., 1957) formed the bedrock of early medical sociology by examining
how trainees learn and adapt to the culture and roles of the
physician. However, attention shifted away from this topic in the 1980s
and 1990s (Vinson, 2023), but there has been a recent resurgence of
interest, not only in physicians’ education, but in health professions education
more broadly (Jenkins, Underman, Vinson, Olsen, & Hirshfield,
2021). This aligns with growing challenges to physician authority and
attendant proliferation of other professions and occupations that treat
illness and disease (Timmermans & Oh, 2010). As such, the sociology of
health professions education now considers a broad range of topics
related to the education and training of doctors, nurses, physician assistants,
nurse practitioners, physical and occupational therapists, dentists,
and others. Likewise, classically, the sociology of health
professions education has examined aspects of training and education
like professional socialization such as learning interaction norms and
clinical tasks, stratification of professional groups, and knowledge regimes
like the hidden curriculum (Jenkins, Underman, Vinson, Olsen, &
Hirshfield, 2021). However, given shifts in the nature of professional
work and corporatization more broadly, recent studies within the sociology
of health professions education have considered an expanded
range of empirical concerns, a topic we take up in this special issue.
Given these innovations, we have repeatedly shown how the sociology
of health professions education contributes to numerous substantive
areas of the discipline, not just medical sociology, through its engagement
with social inequalities; professions and occupations; culture;
emotions and the body; and science, technology, and knowledge
(Jenkins, Underman, Vinson, Olsen, & Hirshfield, 2021).

description: Leptoquarks are ubiquitous in several extensions of the Standard Model and seem to be able to accommodate the universality-violation-driven $B$-meson-decay anomalies and the $(g-2)_μ$ discrepancy interpreted as deviations from the Standard Model predictions. In addition, the search for lepton-flavour violation in the charged sector is, at present, a major research program that could also be facilitated by the dynamics generated by leptoquarks. In this article, we consider a rather wide framework of both scalar and vector leptoquarks as the generators of lepton-flavour violation in processes involving the tau lepton. We single out its couplings to leptoquarks, thus breaking universality in the lepton sector, and we integrate out leptoquarks at tree level, generating the corresponding dimension-6 operators of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. In Ref. [1] we obtained model-independent bounds on the Wilson coefficients of those operators contributing to lepton-flavour-violating hadron tau decays and $\ell$-$τ$ conversion in nuclei, with $\ell=e,μ$. Hence, we use those results to translate the bounds into the couplings of leptoquarks to the Standard Model fermions.

Drying-induced stresses in poroelastic drops on rigid substrates

description: We develop a theory for drying-induced stresses in sessile, poroelastic drops undergoing evaporation on rigid surfaces. Using a lubrication-like approximation, the governing equations of three-dimensional nonlinear poroelasticity are reduced to a single thin-film equation for the drop thickness. We find that thin drops experience compressive elastic stresses but the total in-plane stresses are tensile. The mechanical response of the drop is dictated by the initial profile of the solid skeleton, which controls the in-plane deformation, the dominant components of elastic stress, and sets a limit on the depth of delamination that can potentially occur. Our theory suggests that the alignment of desiccation fractures in colloidal drops is selected by the shape of the drop at the point of gelation. We propose that the emergence of three distinct fracture patterns in dried blood drops is a consequence of a non-monotonic drop profile at gelation. We also show that depletion fronts, which separate wet and dry solid, can invade the drop from the contact line and localise the generation of mechanical stress during drying. Finally, the finite element method is used to explore the stress profiles in drops with large contact angles.

description: Household food insecurity, defined as inconsistent access to sufficient food in a household, affects 1 in 15 individuals over the age of 60 years in the US. In these individuals it is associated with numerous chronic conditions, medication underuse leading to poorly controlled conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, and poor oral health. However, the relationship between food insecurity and oral health is understudied. We therefore evaluated the associations between food insecurity and aspects of oral health in older US adults. We prospectively evaluated a subset of participants of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) who responded to questions evaluating food insecurity in 2013 and a supplemental questionnaire regarding dental health and dental health services in 2018 (N = 472). Approximately 1 in 5 people in our study reported being food insecure in the last year. Food insecurity was correlated with poor oral health-related quality of life scores and more tooth loss. Individuals who were food insecure reported worse self-rated oral health (OR = 2.67), greater odds of losing 8 or more teeth (OR = 2.35), and lower odds of receiving oral care (OR = 0.60) compared to their food secure peers. Though individuals experiencing food insecurity were likely to have more unmet oral health needs than their peers, they were less likely to seek dental care. To improve the oral health status of this group, in addition to making oral health care more accessible, it may also be necessary to address the social and environmental factors preventing these people from seeking oral health care.

description: The U$μν$SSM is a $U(1)'$ extension of the $μν$SSM supersymmetric model, where baryon-number-violating operators as well as explicit mass terms are forbidden, and the potential domain wall problem is avoided. The gauge anomaly-cancellation conditions impose the presence of exotic quark superfields in the spectrum of U$μν$SSM models, and allow the presence of several singlet superfields under the standard model gauge group, in addition to the right-handed neutrino superfields. The gauge structure implies an additional discrete $Z_2$ symmetry in the superpotential, ensuring the stability of a singlet which behaves as WIMP dark matter without invoking $R$-parity. We analyze this novel possibility in detail, using the fermionic component of the singlet as the dark matter candidate. In particular, we compute its amount of relic density via $Z'$, Higgs-right sneutrino and dark matter mediated annihilations, and its potential signals in dark matter direct detection experiments. The constraints on the parameter space due to $Z'$ direct searches at the LHC are imposed in the analysis, as well as those from the hadronization inside the detector of the exotic quarks. Large regions of the parameter space turn out to be in the reach of the upcoming Darwin experiment.

description: We study the fine local scaling properties of rough or irregular subsets of a metric space. In particular, we consider the classical Assouad dimension as well as two variants: a scale-refined variant called the Assouad spectrum, and a location-refined variant called the pointwise Assouad dimension. For the Assouad spectrum, we first give a simple characterization of when a function 𝜑: (0,1) ⟶ [0,𝑑] can be the Assouad spectrum of a general subset of ℝᵈ. Using this, we construct examples exhibiting novel exotic behaviour, answering some questions of Fraser & Yu. We then compute the Assouad spectrum of a certain family planar self-affine sets: the class of Gatzouras–Lalley carpets. Within this family, we establish an explicit formula as the concave conjugate of a certain "column pressure" combined with simple parameter change. This class of sets exhibits novel behaviour in the setting of dynamically invariant sets, such as strict concavity and differentiability on the whole range (0,1). We then focus on the interrelated concepts of (weak) tangents, Assouad dimension, and a new localized variant which we call the pointwise Assouad dimension. For general attractors of bi-Lipschitz iterated function systems, we establish that the Assouad dimension is given by the Hausdorff dimension of a tangent at some point in the attractor. Under the additional assumption of self-conformality, we moreover prove that this property holds for a subset of full Hausdorff dimension. We then turn our attention again to planar self-affine sets. For Gatzouras–Lalley carpets, we obtain precise information about tangents which, in particular, shows that points with large tangents are very abundant. However, already for Barański carpets, we see that more complex behaviour is possible.

description: We compare the microscopic transport models UrQMD, PHSD, PHQMD, and SMASH to make predictions for the upcoming Ag+Ag data at $E_\mathrm{lab}=1.58$~$A$GeV ($\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}}=2.55$~GeV) by the HADES collaboration. We study multiplicities, spectra and effective source temperatures of protons, $π^{\pm,0}$, $K^\pm$, the $η$, $Λ+Σ^0$ and the $Ξ^-$ within these models. Despite variations in the detailed implementation of the dynamics in the different models, the employed transport approaches all show consistent multiplicities of the bulk of investigated hadrons. The main differences are in the $Ξ^-$ production, which is treated differently between UrQMD/SMASH on one side employing high mass resonance states with explicit decays to $\mathrm{Resonance}\rightarrow Ξ+K+K$ in contrast to PHSD/PHQMD which account only non-resonant $Ξ$ production channels. A comparison of the spectra, summarized by effective source temperatures, shows that all models provide similar source temperatures around $T_\mathrm{source}=80-95$~MeV, and show substantial radial flow on the order of $\langle v_T\rangle=0.22c-0.3c$ even for such a small system.

description: We present a wearable vibrotactile feedback device consisting of four linear resonant actuators (LRAs) that are able to generate virtual stimuli, known as phantom tactile sensation, for human-robot interaction. Using an energy model, we can control the location and intensity of the virtual stimuli independently. The device consists of mostly 3D-printed rigid and flexible components and uses commercially available haptic drivers for actuation. The actuators have a rated frequency of 175 Hz which is close to the highest skin sensitivity regarding vibrations (150 to 300 Hz). Our experiment was conducted with a prototype consisting of two bracelets applied to the forearm and upper arm of six participants. Eight possible circumferential angles were stimulated, of which four originated from real actuators and four were generated by virtual stimuli. The responses given by the participants showed a nearly linear relationship within ±10° for the responded angle against the presented stimulus angle. These results show that phantom tactile sensation allows for an increase of spatial resolution to design vibrotactile interfaces for human-robot interaction with fewer actuators.

Publisher: name: AOSIS
Year: 2024

description: Background:  Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is characterised by severe emotion regulation difficulties, particularly anger and irritability, in children. Despite the impact of attachment on emotional and behavioural regulation, the link between attachment style and DMDD is under-researched. Aim:  This study investigated whether attachment style and parasympathetic regulation differentiate the response profiles to frustrating conditions between children diagnosed with DMDD and controls. Setting:  Participants were assessed at schools in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Methods:  Thirty participants were divided into two matched groups ( n DMDD  = 15;  n Control  = 15) and assessed. Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and heart period were measured during an Affective Posner Task, inducing frustration. Attachment style was assessed using the Attachment Style Classification Questionnaire for children. Parents of children with DMDD completed a social interaction problems questionnaire. Results:  The DMDD group showed a higher prevalence of avoidant attachment style ( p  = 0.013) compared to controls. Both groups displayed adaptive vagal withdrawal and recovery during the task ( p  = 0.005;  p  = 0.021). Controls had significantly higher heart period throughout the assessment (game 1:  p  = 0.006; game 2:  p  = 0.013; game 3:  p  = 0.007). In the DMDD group, lower vagal tone during frustration correlated with more social interaction problems ( p  = 0.049). Conclusion:  The study demonstrates a potential link between attachment style and altered physiological state in children with DMDD. Contribution:  The findings provide insight into possible atypical vagal regulation of the heart and avoidant attachment styles in DMDD, highlighting potential therapeutic and intervention targets.
Exploring Strange Origin of Dirac Neutrino Masses at Hadron Colliders

description: We consider the possibility that Dirac neutrino masses may be a manifestation of chiral symmetry breaking via non-perturbative QCD dynamics. The key role played by light quarks in this mechanism can naturally lead to signals that are accessible to hadron colliders. Bounds from charged meson decays imply a dominant effect from the strange quark condensate. We propose a model for Dirac neutrino mass generation with an extra Higgs doublet at the TeV scale and significant coupling to strange quarks and leptons. Current data on $D-\bar D$ mixing constrain the allowed parameter space of the model, and a 100 TeV $pp$ collider would either discover or largely exclude it. A distinct feature of this scenario is that measurements of the of charged Higgs leptonic branching ratios can distinguish between "normal" and "inverted" neutrino mass hierarchies, complementing future determinations at neutrino oscillation experiments.

description: Intelligence analysis involves gathering, analyzing, and interpreting vast amounts of information from diverse sources to generate accurate and timely insights. Tailored tools hold great promise in providing individualized support, enhancing efficiency, and facilitating the identification of crucial intelligence gaps and trends where traditional tools fail. The effectiveness of tailored tools depends on an analyst’s unique needs and motivations, as well as the broader context in which they operate. This paper describes a series of focus discovery exercises that revealed a distinct hierarchy of needs for intelligence analysts. This reflection on the balance between competing needs is of particular value in the context of intelligence analysis, where the compartmentalization required for security can make it difficult to group design patterns in stakeholder values. We hope that this study will enable the development of more effective tools, supporting the well-being and performance of intelligence analysts as well as the organizations they serve.

description: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR comprises two arrays of high-purity germanium detectors constructed to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in 76-Ge and other physics beyond the Standard Model. Its readout electronics were designed to have low electronic noise, and radioactive backgrounds were minimized by using low-mass components and low-radioactivity materials near the detectors. This paper provides a description of all components of the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR readout electronics, spanning the front-end electronics and internal cabling, back-end electronics, digitizer, and power supplies, along with the grounding scheme. The spectroscopic performance achieved with these readout electronics is also demonstrated.

description: Denne artikel sammenfatter resultater fra surveys og
indsamlet datamateriale om udvalgte undervisningsaktørers
forståelser og holdninger til indførelsen af
benchmarkingundersøgelser og såkaldte high-stakes
sprogtest i voksenundervisningen for voksne udlændinge
i Danmark i begyndelsen af 2000-tallet. Resultaterne
fra gennemførte surveys i 2009 tyder på en vis
skepsis over for benchmarkingundersøgelser blandt
både ledere og undervisere. Samtidig har indførelsen
af high-stakes modultest ifølge de adspurgte aktører
imidlertid allerede få år efter implementeringen af
disse fået afgørende og på en række områder også
uhensigtsmæssig indflydelse på både pædagogisk
tilrettelæggelse og gennemførelse af undervisningen.
Dette gælder især mulighederne for pædagogisk
udvikling og deltagernes sproglige fordybelse.

description: Understanding and optimizing passive scalar mixing in a diffusive fluid flow at finite Péclet number $Pe=U h/κ$ (where $U$ and $h$ are characteristic velocity and length scales, and $κ$ is the molecular diffusivisity of the scalar) is a fundamental problem of interest in many environmental and industrial flows. Particularly when $Pe \gg 1$, identifying initial perturbations of given energy which optimally and thoroughly mix fluids of initally different properties can be computationally challenging. To address this challenge, we consider the identification of initial perturbations in an idealized two-dimensional flow on a torus that extremize various measures over finite time horizons. We identify such `optimal' initial perturbations using the `direct-adjoint looping' (DAL) method, thus requiring the evolving flow to satisfy the governing equations and boundary conditions at all points in space and time. We demonstrate that minimising multiscale measures commonly known as `mix-norms' over short time horizons is a computationally efficient and robust way to identify initial perturbations that thoroughly mix layered scalar distributions over relatively long time horizons, provided the magnitude of the mix-norm's index is not too large. Minimisation of such mix-norms triggers the development of coherent vortical flow structures which effectively mix, with the particular properties of these flow structures depending on $Pe$ and also the time horizon of interest.

description: Electronic conduction pathways in dielectric thin films are explored using automated experiments in scanning probe microscopy (SPM). Here, we use large field of view scanning to identify the position of localized conductive spots and develop a SPM workflow to probe their dynamic behavior at higher spatial resolution as a function of time, voltage, and scanning process in an automated fashion. Using this approach, we observe the variable behaviors of the conductive spots in a 20 nm thick ferroelectric Hf0.54Zr0.48O2 film, where conductive spots disappear and reappear during continuous scanning. There are also new conductive spots that appear during scanning. The automated workflow is universal and can be integrated into a wide range of microscopy techniques, including SPM, electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and chemical imaging.

description: In the academic world of universities in the United States, the rules governing how and when you may use the ideas and words of others are taken very seriously. There are widely varying cultural assumptions about how knowledge is created and legitimated, and varying norms about the treatment of existing writings by subsequent authors. The Western academic world is highly individualistic and places emphasis on being able to judge and give credit for the work of each student or researcher. "World majority" students from collectivist societies come from nations where one's experiences, thoughts and ideas are interwoven with those of others, both living and dead.

description: Ashruf and colleagues present retrospective data from the electronic medical records of more than
17 000 pediatric patients who experienced community-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) over a
20-year study period. Thiswork raises awareness of 2 critically important yet understudied topics in
pediatric AKI and sets the stage for future study in these areas. Pediatric CA-AKI has historically been
difficult to define owing to the paucity of baseline serum creatinine (SCr) data in children. The large
database used for this study contains information from 21 million pediatric patients with a CA-AKI
prevalence of less than 0.1%. A database of this size provides the opportunity to examine important
questions about CA-AKI in a way that cannot be done with the small sample sizes derived from
single-center or multicenter studies. Using propensity matching, the authors compared the risk of
1-year adverse outcomes, including emergency department (ED) visits, intensive care unit
admissions, mechanical ventilation, and death, in patients after CA-AKI.

description: BACKGROUND: Poor prenatal maternal sleep is a pervasive, yet modifiable, health concern affecting maternal and foetal wellbeing. Experimental rodent studies demonstrate that prenatal maternal sleep deprivation affects offspring brain development and leads to adverse outcomes, including increased anxiety-like behaviour. We examined the relation between prenatal maternal sleep quality and neonatal white matter development and subsequent infant negative emotionality.
METHODS: Participants included 116 mother-infant (53% female) dyads. Prenatal sleep quality was prospectively assessed three times during gestation (16, 29, and 35 gestational weeks) using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Neonatal white matter, as indexed by fractional anisotropy (FA), was assessed via diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Negative emotionality was measured via behavioural observation and maternal report when the infant was 6-months of age.
FINDINGS: More prenatal sleep problems across pregnancy were associated with higher neonatal FA in the uncinate fasciculus (left: b = 0.20, p = .004; right: b = 0.15, p = .027). Higher neonatal uncinate FA was linked to infant negative emotionality, and uncinate FA partially mediated the association between prenatal maternal sleep and behavioural observation of infant negative emotionality.
INTERPRETATION: Findings highlight prenatal sleep as an environmental signal that affects the developing neonatal brain and later infant negative emotionality.

description: Background Firearm violence is a significant public health issue. However, it is unclear if there is an association between the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) and the intent of both fatal and nonfatal firearm injuries, and if these associations are modified by community race and ethnic composition. This study examines the association between community-level social vulnerability and firearm injury incidence in North Carolina (NC) using 2021–2022 emergency medical services (EMS) data. Additionally, it investigates how these associations vary by the intent of injury (assault, self-inflicted, and unintentional), and whether they are modified by community racial/ethnic composition. Methods This cross-sectional study utilized NC EMS data, capturing firearm incidents from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022. The SVI from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was used to assess community-level vulnerability. The SVI’s racial/ethnic minority status component was removed for stratification analysis. Firearm injury rates were calculated per 100,000 population, and negative binomial regression models were used to estimate Incidence Rate Ratios (IRRs) for different SVI levels and intents of firearm injuries. Results During the study period, we identified 7,250 EMS encounters at non-healthcare locations related to firearm injuries, encompassing 2,648 NC census tracts. Assault was the leading cause of firearm injuries (n = 3,799), followed by self-inflicted (n = 1,498), and unintentional injuries (n = 722). High-SVI communities had significantly higher rates of firearm injuries compared to low-SVI communities, particularly for assault-related injuries. When the minority status component was excluded from SVI, racial/ethnic minority status emerged as a significant modifier, with higher rates of firearm injuries being observed in communities with larger racial/ethnic minority populations. Conclusion Community-level social vulnerability is significantly associated with firearm injury incidence, with the effect being more pronounced in racial/ethnic minority communities. These findings underscore the need for targeted public health interventions that address underlying social determinants of health (e.g., access to education) to reduce firearm violence. Future research should further explore the intersection of social vulnerability and racial/ethnic composition to develop effective prevention strategies.

description: HEALPix -- the Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization -- has become a standard in high-energy and gravitational wave astronomy. Originally developed to improve the efficiency of all-sky Fourier analyses, it is now also utilized to share sky localization information. When used for this purpose the need for a homogeneous all-sky grid represents a limitation that hinders a broader community adoption. This work presents mhealpy, a Python library able to create, handle and analyze multi-resolution maps, a solution to this problem. It supports efficient pixel querying, arithmetic operations between maps, adaptive mesh refinement, plotting and serialization into FITS -- Flexible Image Transport System -- files. This HEALPix extension makes it suitable to represent highly resolved regions, resulting in a convenient common format to share spatial information for joint multi-wavelength and multi-messenger analyses.
