description: Resumo

Objectivo: fazer uma revisão das publicações (literatura) em que o teste de aglutinação de partículas de látex (TAPL) foi utilizado no diagnóstico etiológico de pneumonias bacterianas comunitárias.

Fontes de dados: banco de dados do Medline no período de 1966-2002 e através de citações secundárias e terciárias.

Síntese dos dados: dezassete publicações foram revistas, sendo nove originárias de países desenvolvidos, sete de subdesenvolvidos e um mulücêntrico, envolvendo nações pobres e industrializadas. Em duas pesquisas» a população de estudo foi composta por crianças e adultos, para formação de grupo controle. Os métodos de diagnóstico mais utilizados como teste ou padrão de referência para o teste de aglutinação de partículas de látex foram as técnicas convencionais de microbiologia, a contra-imunoeletroforese (CIE), a coaglutinação (CoA) pela proteína A do S. aureus e o ensaio de imunoabsorçao ligado a enzima (ELISA). Os fluidos biológicos pesquisados foramsoro, urina, líquido pleural, expectoração, secreção de nasofaringe e saliva, em ordem decrescente de freqüência. O teste de agludnação de partículas de látex apresentou sensibilidade variando de 0% a 100% e especificidade de 61% a 100%, com rentabilidade melhor em amostras de líquida pleural.

Condisões: os resultados obtidos foram bastante variados e discrepantes; contudo, o teste de aglutinação de partículas de látex apresentou rentabilidade semelhante aos métodos de imunodiagnóstíco utílizados como referência e mostrou-se bastante superior às técnicas tradicionais de microbiologia (coloração pelo gram e cultura). Quando comparadas as características do teste de agludnação de partículas de látex aos demais testes pesquisados, o mesmo mostrou vantagens em aspectos importantes como; maior facilidade de execução, dispensando recursos humanos e técnicos qualificados e sofisticados, rapidez de leitura, menor custo, sensibilidade e especificidade satisfatórias.

Palavras-Chave: pneumonias comunitárias, diagnóstico etiológico, teste de aglutinação de partículas de látex.

description: Introdução: O ruído nas Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos Neonaiais é frequentemente excessivo e tem sido implicado como co-factor na patogénese da surdez neurossensorial perinatal, na alteração dos parâmetros vitais e do sono do recém-nascido e, a longo prazo, em alterações da percepção auditiva e neuro-comportamentais. Há cerca de 12 anos, um trabalho realizado na Maternidade Dr. Alfredo da Costa demonstrou que os níveis de ruído eram claramente superiores aos recomendados, não tendo sido realizados novos estudos sobre o ruído nas Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatais de Lisboa e Vale do Tejo. O presente estudo tem como objectivo a caracterização do ambiente sonoro de todas as Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatais desta região, bem como a avaliação da percepção subjectiva dos médicos e enfermeiros dessas unidades relativamente ao ruído.

Métodos: Em cada uma das unidades» efectuaram-se medições durante 24 horas consecutívas de diversos parâmetros de ruído (L(eq1), L(10), L(95), L(max)) na região central e dentro de uma incubadora com um recém-nascido ventilado. Avaliou-se, igualmente, o número de picos de ruído numa hora e respectivas causas, bem como os níveis de pressão sonora atingidos no interior das incubadoras durante várias actividades. Foram obtidos 182 questionários de médicos e enfermeiros dessas unidades, com o objectivo de avaliar o posicionamento destes profissionais relativamente ao ruído.

Resultados: Os valores de ruído contínuo médio (L(eq)) variaram entre 58,2 e 65,4 dBA na região central e 51,2 e 61,4 dBA no interior das incubadoras. Em todas as unidades excepto numa, o L(eq), era significativamente maior na região central do que nas incubadoras. Identificaram-se múltiplos contributos para o ruído em cada unidade. Não foram encontrados ritmos circadianos. A análise dos questionários revelou que 96,1% dos respondentes se sentem habitualmente incomodados com os níveis de ruído; 25,1% nunca receberam formação sobre o tema em questão e grande parte refere a importância de programas de sensibilização dos profissionais das unidades para minorar o ruído.

Conclusões: Durante a totalidade do tempo de medição foram registados níveis de ruído superiores aos recomendados em todas as unidades amostradas. Afigura-se importante promover a formação do pessoal das Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatais para minorar os níveis de ruído nestas unidades, já que múltiplas causas de ruído parecem ser facilmente modificáveis.

description: Systems which consist of many localized constituents interacting with each other can be represented by complex networks. Consistently, network science has become highly popular in vast fields focusing on natural, artificial and social systems. We numerically analyze the growth of $d$-dimensional geographic networks (characterized by the index $α_G\geq0$; $d = 1, 2, 3, 4$) whose links are weighted through a predefined random probability distribution, namely $P(w) \propto e^{-|w - w_c|/τ}$, $w$ being the weight $ (w_c \geq 0; \; τ> 0)$. In this model, each site has an evolving degree $k_i$ and a local energy $\varepsilon_i \equiv \sum_{j=1}^{k_i} w_{ij}/2$ ($i = 1, 2, ..., N$) that depend on the weights of the links connected to it. Each newly arriving site links to one of the pre-existing ones through preferential attachment given by the probability $Π_{ij}\propto \varepsilon_{i}/d^{\,α_A}_{ij} \;\;(α_A \ge 0)$, where $d_{ij}$ is the Euclidean distance between the sites. Short- and long-range interactions respectively correspond to $α_A/d>1$ and $0\leq α_A/d \leq 1$; $α_A/d \to \infty$ corresponds to interactions between close neighbors, and $α_A/d \to 0$ corresponds to infinitely-ranged interactions. The site energy distribution $p(\varepsilon)$ corresponds to the usual degree distribution $p(k)$ as the particular instance $(w_c,τ)=(2,0)$. We numerically verify that the corresponding connectivity distribution $p(\varepsilon)$ converges, when $α_A/d\to\infty$, to the weight distribution $P(w)$ for infinitely narrow distributions (i.e., $τ\to \infty, \,\forall w_c$) as well as for $w_c\to0, \, \forallτ$.

description: As a basic symmetry of space-time, Lorentz symmetry has played important roles in various fields of physics, and it is a glamorous question whether Lorentz symmetry breaks. Since Einstein proposed special relativity, Lorentz symmetry has withstood very strict tests, but there are still motivations for Lorentz symmetry violation (LV) research from both theoretical consideration and experimental feasibility, that attract physicists to work on LV theories, phenomena and experimental tests with enthusiasm. There are many theoretical models including LV effects, and different theoretical models predict different LV phenomena, from which we can verify or constrain LV effects. Here, we introduce three types of LV theories: quantum gravity theory, space-time structure theory and effective field theory with extra-terms. Limited by the energy of particles, the experimental tests of LV are very difficult; however, due to the high energy and long propagation distance, high-energy particles from astronomical sources can be used for LV phenomenological researches. Especially with cosmic photons, various astronomical observations provide rich data from which one can obtain various constraints for LV researches. Here, we review four common astronomical phenomena which are ideal for LV studies, together with current constraints on LV effects of photons.

description: A classification scheme for rocky planets is proposed, based on a description of the Earth System in terms of the Landau-Ginzburg Theory of phase transitions. Three major equilibrium states can be identified and the associated planetary states or phases are: Earth-like Holocene state; hot Venus-like state; cold Mars-like state. The scheme is based on an approach proposed to understand the Earth transition from the Holocene to the Anthropocene, driven by the impact of the human action on the Earth System. In the present work we identity the natural conditions that cause transformations on the planets forcing them into one of the states identified above. We discuss how the parameters that describe these transformations can be related with exoplanets observables. In analysing the relevant physical parameters, we were stroke by the similarities between Earth and Venus, and how likely is that the Anthropocene transition may lead to hot-house Earth scenario.

description: We present a versatile perturbative calculation scheme to determine the mobility matrix for two and more particles in a low Reynolds number fluid with spatially variant viscosity. Assuming an asymptotic non-constant viscosity perturbation superimposed on a constant viscosity background, we exploit the Lorentz reciprocal theorem and a reflection method to obtain the leading order correction to the mobility matrix. We apply our approach firstly to an interface-like linear viscosity gradient with an extension much larger than the length scale of the particle separation. We find that the viscosity gradient gives rise to additional long-range flow fields, for both particle translation and rotation, which decay by one order slower than their constant-viscosity counterparts. Also, we reveal that the relative positioning of two interacting particles in finite-size gradients, a natural precondition to avoid pathological negative viscosity, affects the mobilities of and interaction between both particles. Secondly, we apply our result to two interacting particles with temperatures different from that of the surrounding fluid, which alters both the fluid temperature and viscosity field. We find that both, the self-mobilities of the particles as well as their interactions, increase for hot particles and decrease for cold particles.

description: The LIGO Scientific, Virgo and KAGRA Collaborations recently released the third gravitational wave transient catalog or GWTC-3, significantly expanding the number of gravitational wave (GW) signals. To address the -- still uncertain -- formation channels of the source compact binaries, their population properties must be characterized. The computational cost of the Bayesian hierarchical methods employed thus far scales with the size of the event catalogs, and such methods have until recently assumed fixed functional forms for the source distribution. Here we propose a fast and flexible method to reconstruct the population of LIGO--Virgo merging black hole (BH) binaries without such assumptions. For sufficiently high event statistics and sufficiently low individual event measurement error (relative to the scale of population features) a kernel density estimator (KDE) reconstruction of the event distribution will be accurate. We improve the accuracy and flexibility of KDE for finite event statistics using an adaptive bandwidth KDE (awKDE). We apply awKDE to publicly released parameter estimates for 44 significant (69) BH binary mergers in GWTC-2 (GWTC-3), in combination with a fast polynomial fit of search sensitivity, to obtain a non-parametric estimate of the mass distribution, and compare to Bayesian hierarchical methods. We also demonstrate a robust peak detection algorithm based on awKDE and use it to calculate the significance of the apparent peak in the BH mass distribution around $35\, M_\odot$. We find such a peak is very unlikely to have occurred if the true distribution is a featureless power-law (significance of $3.6σ$ for confident GWTC-2 BBH events, $3.0σ$ for confident GWTC-3 BBH events).

description: This paper deals with the Braess paradox in quantum transport. The scattering matrix formalism is used to consider a two-parameter family of mesoscopic conductors with the topology of the classical Braess transport network. The study investigates the mutual influence of the congestion and smoothness of the system on the Braess behavior. Both the Braess paradox and normal transport regimes coexist within the two-parametric landscape under the same congestion.

description: A light axion-like particle or an ALP not just gives rise to interesting and spectacular signals of new physics as final states in meson decays, it necessarily leaves tell-tale signatures in processes that involve standard model (SM) fields only (i.e., SM processes). These effects result in the violation of the Gell-Mann--Okubo mass relation, modified form factors, altered integrated and differential rates for various SM transitions etc. This suggests that in the presence of a low lying state, such as an ALP, extraction of masses, mixing angles, and form factors in an entirely data-driven way from meson-physics observables is a highly non-trivial exercise. However, once done correctly, these same observables may, in turn, provide important (indirect) bounds on ALP physics, which remain robust even in the limits where new physics effects conspire to weaken the bounds from direct searches. Starting with a generalized ALP-quark Lagrangian (where restrictions due to parity are removed) we demonstrate this approach by focussing on $K^+_{\ell_3}$ decays, where we derive (indirect) bounds on ALP physics using NA48/2 data and lattice results. We also find sum rules which not just show deviations in the presence of an ALP, but also give hints towards the specific nature of the ALP physics itself.

description: Video summarization aims to automatically generate a summary (storyboard or video skim) of a video, which can facilitate large-scale video retrieval and browsing. Most of the existing methods perform video summarization on individual videos, which neglects the correlations among similar videos. Such correlations, however, are also informative for video understanding and video summarization. To address this limitation, we propose Video Joint Modelling based on Hierarchical Transformer (VJMHT) for co-summarization, which takes into consideration the semantic dependencies across videos. Specifically, VJMHT consists of two layers of Transformer: the first layer extracts semantic representation from individual shots of similar videos, while the second layer performs shot-level video joint modelling to aggregate cross-video semantic information. By this means, complete cross-video high-level patterns are explicitly modelled and learned for the summarization of individual videos. Moreover, Transformer-based video representation reconstruction is introduced to maximize the high-level similarity between the summary and the original video. Extensive experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed modules and the superiority of VJMHT in terms of F-measure and rank-based evaluation.

description: A deep interest in understanding Japan, particularly American relations to Japan, is at the root of this study. That vast subject of American relations to Japan falls roughly into two divisions, a) the period of distinct cordiality and friendship from 1853 to 1905, and b) the period of increasing suspicion and distrust from 1906 to date. Because the Russo-Japanese War in 1904 and 1905 has been regarded as the turning point in American sympathy toward Japan, I was led to make this study of American public opinion with reference to it. I did so in the hope of finding out if possible whether that sentiment actually changed during the war, and if so approximately when.

description: We present a general theory of thermalization of light in multimode optical fibers, including optical beams with nonzero orbital angular momentum or vortex beams. A generalized Rayleigh-Jeans distribution of asymptotic mode composition is obtained, based on the conservation of the angular momentum. We confirm our predictions by numerical simulations and experiments based on holographic mode decomposition of multimode beams. This establishes new constraints for the achievement of spatial beam self-cleaning, giving previously unforeseen insights into the underlying physical mechanisms.

description: Generalizing the "The Membrane at the End of the Universe", a 1987 paper "Supersingletons" by Blencowe and the author conjectured the existence of BPS p-brane configurations (p=2, 3, 4 ,5) and corresponding CFTs on the boundary of anti-de Sitter space with symmetries appearing in Nahm's classification of superconformal algebras: OSp(N|4)~N=8, 4, 2, 1; SU(2,2|N)~N= 4, 2, 1; F^2(4); OSp(8^*|N), ~N=4, 2$. This correctly predicted the D3-brane with SU(2,2|4) on AdS_5 x S^5 and the M5-brane with OSp(8^*|4) on AdS_7 x S^4, in addition to the known M2-brane with OSp(8|4) on AdS_4 x S^7. However, finding non-singular AdS solutions matching the other symmetries was less straightforward. Here we perform a literature search and confirm that all of the empty slots have now been filled, thanks to a number of extra ingredients including warped products and massive Type IIA. Orbifolds, orientifolds and S-folds also play a part providing examples not predicted: SU(2,2|3), OSp(3|4), OSp(5|4) and OSp(6|4) but not OSp(7|4). We also examine the status of p=(0,1) configurations.

A semi-analytic model for the temporal evolution of the episodic disc-to-star accretion rate during star formation

description: We develop a semi-analytic formalism for the determination of the evolution of the stellar mass accretion rate for specified density and velocity profiles that emerge from the runaway collapse of a prestellar cloud core. In the early phase, when the infall of matter from the surrounding envelope is substantial, the star accumulates mass primarily because of envelope-induced gravitational instability in a protostellar disc. In this phase, we model the envelope mass accretion rate from the isothermal free-fall collapse of a molecular cloud core. The disc gains mass from the envelope, and transports matter to the star via a disc accretion mechanism that includes episodic gravitational instability and mass accretion bursts according to the Toomre $Q$-criterion. In a later phase, mass is accreted on to the star due to gravitational torques within the spiral structures in the disc, in a manner that analytic theory suggests has a mass accretion rate $\propto t^{-6/5}$. Our model provides a self-consistent evolution of the mass accretion rate by joining the spherical envelope accretion (dominant at the earlier stage) with the disc accretion (important at the later stage), and accounts for the presence of episodic accretion bursts at appropriate times. We show using a simple example that the burst mode can provide a good match to the observed distribution of bolometric luminosities. Our framework reproduces key elements of detailed numerical simulations of disc accretion and can aid in developing intuition about the basic physics as well as to compare theory with observations.

description: We consider spatially homogeneous models in Hořava-Lifshitz (HL) gravity that perturbs General Relativity (GR) by a parameter $v\in (0,1)$ such that GR occurs at $v=1/2$. We prove that the induced Kasner map is chaotic for a broad class of modified HL gravity models, when $v\in (0,1/2)$, despite the fact that the Kasner map is multivalued in such subcritical regime.

Light-quark mass dependence of the nucleon axial charge and pion-nucleon scattering phenomenology

description: The light-quark mass dependence of the nucleon axial isovector charge ($g_A$) has been studied up to next-to-next-to-leading order, $O(p^4)$, in relativistic chiral perturbation theory using extended-on-mass-shell renormalization, without and with explicit $Δ(1232)$ degrees of freedom. We show that in the $Δ$-less case, at this order, the flat trend of $g_A (M_π)$ exhibited by state-of-the-art lattice QCD (LQCD) results cannot be reproduced using low energy constants (LECs) extracted from pion-nucleon elastic and inelastic scattering. A satisfactory description of these LQCD data is only achieved in the theory with $Δ$. From this fit we report $g_A (M_{π\rm{(phys)}}) = 1.260 \pm 0.012$, close to the experimental result, and $d_{16}= -0.88\pm 0.88$ GeV$^{-2}$, in agreement with its empirical value. The large uncertainties are of theoretical origin, reflecting the difference between $O(p^3)$ and $O(p^4)$ that still persists at large $M_π$ in presence of the $Δ$.

description: For a static and spherically symmetric black hole, a photon sphere is composed of circular null geodesics of fixed radius, and plays an important role in observing the black hole. Recently, in an Einstein-Maxwell-scalar model with a non-minimal coupling between the scalar and electromagnetic fields, a class of hairy black holes has been found to possess two unstable and one stable circular null geodesics on the equatorial plane, corresponding to three photon spheres outside the event horizon. In this paper, we study quasinormal modes of the scalar field, which are associated with these circular null geodesics, in the hairy black hole spacetime. In the eikonal regime with $l\gg1$, the real part of the quasinormal modes is determined by the angular velocity of the corresponding circular geodesics. The imaginary part of the quasinormal modes associated with the unstable circular null geodesics encodes the information about the Lyapunov exponent of the corresponding circular geodesics. Interestingly, we find long-lived and sub-long-lived modes, which are associated with the stable and one of the unstable circular null geodesics, respectively. Due to tunneling through potential barriers, the damping times of the long-lived and sub-long-lived modes can be exponentially and logarithmically large in terms of $l$, respectively.

Gamma-Ray Counterparts of IceCube Neutrino Events in the AGILE Public Archive
Creators: name: Poggiani, Rosa
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The search for gamma ray counterparts of IceCube neutrino events is relevant for understanding the role of blazars as possible sources of cosmic neutrinos. We searched the counterparts for IceCube neutrinos events in the interval 2018-2020 in the AGILE gamma-ray satellite public archive.
 We present the candidate sources in the regions centred on the detected neutrinos and their light curves and Spectral Energy Distributions, providing estimates of the gamma ray flux above 100 MeV for the AGILE detections. The possible associations with blazars are discussed.

description: Ferromagnetic insulators play a crucial role in the development of low-dissipation quantum magnetic devices for spintronics. Epitaxial LaCoO3 thin film is a prominent ferromagnetic insulator, in which the robust ferromagnetic ordering emerges owing to epitaxial strain. Whereas it is evident that strong spin-lattice coupling induces ferromagnetism, the reported ferromagnetic properties of epitaxially strained LaCoO3 thin films were highly consistent. For example, even under largely modulated degree of strain, the reported Curie temperatures of epitaxially strained LaCoO3 thin films lie within 80-85 K, without much deviation. In this study, substantial enhancement (~18%) in the Curie temperature of epitaxial LaCoO3 thin films is demonstrated via crystallographic orientation dependence. By changing the crystallographic orientation of the films from (111) to (110), the crystal-field energy was reduced and the charge transfer between the Co and O orbitals was enhanced. These modifications led to a considerable enhancement of the ferromagnetic properties (including the Curie temperature and magnetization), despite the identical nominal degree of epitaxial strain. The findings of this study provide insights into facile tunability of ferromagnetic properties via structural symmetry control in LaCoO3.
