description: Some general features of kinetic multi-agent models are reviewed, with particular attention to the relation between the agent saving propensities and the form of the equilibrium wealth distribution. The effect of a finite cutoff of the saving propensity distribution on the corresponding wealth distribution is studied. Various results about kinetic multi-agent models are collected and used to construct a realistic wealth distribution with zero limit for small values of wealth, an exponential form at intermediate and a power law tail at larger values of wealth.

description: Background: Depression is a global problem, affecting populations worldwide, but is too often under-diagnosed. The identification of depression among patients with diabetes is important because depression is prevalent in this group and can complicate diabetes management. Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the PHQ-9 in the detection of depression among patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus attending non-communicable diseases (NCD) clinics in Malawi. Methods: We conducted a validation study of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) among 323 patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus who attended two NCD clinics in one of the 28 districts of Malawi. The participants were screened consecutively using the nine-item PHQ-9 in Chichewa by a research assistant and completed a diagnostic interview using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) for depression with a mental health clinician. We evaluated both content validity based on expert judgement and criterion validity of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) based on performance against the SCID. The PHQ-9 cutpoint that maximized sensitivity plus specificity was selected to report test characteristics. Results: Using the SCID for depression, the prevalence of minor or major depression was 41% (133/323). The internal consistency estimate for the PHQ-9 was 0.83, with an area under the receiver operator curve (AUC) of 0.93 (95% CI, [0.91-0.96]). Using the optimal cut-point of ≥9, the PHQ-9 had a sensitivity of 64% and a specificity of 94% in detecting both minor and major depression, with likelihood ratio-positive = 10.1 and likelihood ratio negative =0.4 as well as overall correct classification (OCC) rate of 81%. Conclusions: This is the first validation study of the PHQ-9 in NCD clinics in Malawi. Depression was highly prevalent in this sample. The PHQ-9 demonstrated reasonable accuracy in identifying cases of depression and is a useful screening tool in this setting. Health care workers in NCD clinics can use the PHQ-9 to identify depression among their patients with those having a positive screen followed up by additional diagnostic assessment to confirm diagnosis.

description: Tracing the evolution of specific topics is a subject area which belongs to the general problem of mapping the structure of scientific knowledge. Often bibliometric data bases are used to study the history of scientific topic evolution from its appearance to its extinction or merger with other topics. In this chapter the authors present an analysis of the academic response to the disaster that occurred in 1986 in Chornobyl (Chernobyl), Ukraine, considered as one of the most devastating nuclear power plant accidents in history. Using a bibliographic database the distributions of Chornobyl-related papers in different scientific fields are analysed, as are their growth rates and properties of co-authorship networks. Elements of descriptive statistics and tools of complex-network theory are used to highlight interdisciplinary as well as international effects. In particular, tools of complex-network science enable information visualization complemented by further quantitative analysis. A further goal of the chapter is to provide a simple pedagogical introduction to the application of complex-network analysis for visual data representation and interdisciplinary communication.

description: We present HST/STIS observations of ESO 184-G82, the host galaxy of the gamma-ray burst GRB 980425 associated with the peculiar Type Ic supernova SN1998bw. ESO 184-G82 is found to be an actively star forming SBc sub-luminous galaxy. We detect an object consistent with being a point source within the astrometric uncertainty of 0.018 arcseconds of the position of the supernova. The object is located inside a star-forming region and is at least one magnitude brighter than expected for the supernova based on a simple radioactive decay model. This implies either a significant flattening of the light curve or a contribution from an underlying star cluster.

description: Background: Depression, prevalent among people living with HIV (PLWH) in Malawi, is associated with negative HIV patient outcomes and likely affects HIV medical management. Despite the high prevalence of depression, its management has not been integrated into HIV care in Malawi or most low-income countries. Methods: This study employs a pre-post design in two HIV clinics in Lilongwe, Malawi, to evaluate the effect of integrating depression management into routine HIV care on both mental health and HIV outcomes. Using a multiple baseline design, this study is examining mental health and HIV outcome data of adult (≥18 years) patients newly initiating ART who also have depression, comparing those entering care before and after the integration of depression screening and treatment into HIV care. The study is also collecting cost information to estimate the cost-effectiveness of the program in improving rates of depression remission and HIV treatment engagement and success. Discussion: We anticipate that the study will generate evidence on the effect of depression management on HIV outcomes and the feasibility of integrating depression management into existing HIV care clinics. The results of the study will inform practice and policy decisions on integration of depression management in HIV care clinics in Malawi and related settings, and will help design a next-step strategy to scale-up integration to a larger scale.

description: Here we present a study of stochastic resonance in an extended FitzHugh-Nagumo system with a field dependent activator diffusion. We show that the system response (here measured through the output signal-to-noise ratio) is enhanced due to the particular form of the non-homogeneous coupling. Such a result supports previous ones obtained in a simpler scalar reaction-diffusion system and shows that such an enhancement, induced by the field dependent diffusion -or selective coupling-, is a robust phenomenon.

description: The effect of depressive symptoms on progression through the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment cascade is poorly characterized. Methods. We included participants from the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinic Systems cohort who were antiretroviral therapy (ART) naive, had at least 1 viral load and HIV appointment measure after ART initiation, and a depressive symptom measure within 6 months of ART initiation. Recent depressive symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and categorized using a validated cut point (PHQ-9 =10). We followed participants from ART initiation through the first of the following events: loss to follow-up (12 months with no HIV appointment), death, administrative censoring (2011-2014), or 5 years of follow-up. We used log binomial models with generalized estimating equations to estimate associations between recent depressive symptoms and having a detectable viral load (=75 copies/mL) or missing an HIV visit over time. Results. We included 1057 HIV-infected adults who contributed 2424 person-years. At ART initiation, 30% of participants reported depressive symptoms. In multivariable analysis, recent depressive symptoms increased the risk of having a detectable viral load (risk ratio [RR], 1.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07, 1.53) over time. The association between depressive symptoms and missing an HIV visit (RR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.05, 1.36) moved to the null after adjustment for preexisting mental health conditions (RR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.85, 1.18). Conclusions. Recent depressive symptoms are a risk factor for unsuppressed viral load, while preexisting mental health conditions may influence HIV appointment adherence.

description: We consider a simple model of a scalar field with $U(1)$ current algebra gauge symmetry coupled to $2D$-gravity in order to clarify the origin of Stuckelberg symmetry in the $w_{\infty}$-gravity theory. An analogous symmetry takes place in our model too. The possible central extension of the complete symmetry algebra and the corresponding critical dimension have been found. The analysis of the Hamiltonian and the constraints shows that the generators of the current algebra, the reparametrization and the Stuckelberg symmetries are not independent. The connection of the model with $w_{1+\infty}-$ and $W_{1+\infty}$-gravity is discussed.

description: One of the historical suggestions to tackle the strong CP problem is to take the up quark mass to zero while keeping $m_d$ finite. The $θ$ angle is then supposed to become irrelevant, i.e. the topological susceptibility vanishes. However, the definition of the quark mass is scheme-dependent and identifying the $m_u=0$ point is not trivial, in particular with Wilson-like fermions. More specifically, up to our knowledge there is no theoretical argument guaranteeing that the topological susceptibility exactly vanishes when the PCAC mass does. We will present our recent progresses on the empirical check of this property using $N_f=1+2$ flavours of clover fermions, where the lightest fermion is tuned very close to $m^{PCAC}_u$=0 and the mass of the other two is kept of the order of magnitude of the physical $m_s$. This choice is indeed expected to amplify any unknown non-perturbative effect caused by $m_u\not=m_d$. The simulation is repeated for several $β$s and those results, although preliminary, give a hint about what happens in the continuum limit.

description: The simplest possible equation for Hawking radiation, and other black hole radiated power is derived in terms of black hole density. Black hole density also leads to the simplest possible model of a gas of elementary constituents confined inside a gravitational bottle of Schwarzchild radius at tremendous pressure, which yields identically the same functional dependence as the traditional black hole entropy. Variations of Sbh can be obtained which depend on the occupancy of phase space cells. A relation is derived between the constituent momenta and the black hole radius which is similar to the Compton wavelength relation.

description: Background: The objective of this study was to develop and validate a short form of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a self-report questionnaire for assessing depressive symptomatology, using objective criteria. Methods: Responses on the PHQ-9 were obtained from 7,850 English-speaking participants enrolled in 20 primary diagnostic test accuracy studies. PHQ unidimensionality was verified using confirmatory factor analysis, and an item response theory model was fit. Optimal test assembly (OTA) methods identified a maximally precise short form for each possible length between one and eight items, including and excluding the ninth item. The final short form was selected based on prespecified validity, reliability, and diagnostic accuracy criteria. Results: A four-item short form of the PHQ (PHQ-Dep-4) was selected. The PHQ-Dep-4 had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.805. Sensitivity and specificity of the PHQ-Dep-4 were 0.788 and 0.837, respectively, and were statistically equivalent to the PHQ-9 (sensitivity = 0.761, specificity = 0.866). The correlation of total scores with the full PHQ-9 was high (r = 0.919). Conclusion: The PHQ-Dep-4 is a valid short form with minimal loss of information of scores when compared to the full-length PHQ-9. Although OTA methods have been used to shorten patient-reported outcome measures based on objective, prespecified criteria, further studies are required to validate this general procedure for broader use in health research. Furthermore, due to unexamined heterogeneity, there is a need to replicate the results of this study in different patient populations.

GINOP-2.1.2-8-1-4-16-2017-00507

A projekt keretében egészséges, magas táplálkozásbiológiai értékű édesipari termékcsalád fejlesztése volt a cél, mely az elkészítési javaslatok betartásával teljesíti az optimális többszörösen telítetlen zsírsav-bevitel dietetikai javaslatait, különös tekintettel az esszenciális zsírsavakra. A célkitűzés elérése érdekében zsírsavkiegészítéssel emeltük meg a tartós piskóta termék biológiai értékét, emellett pedig hosszúláncú, többszörösen telítetlen zsírsavakkal dúsítottuk a piskótakrémet. A piskótaszelet esetében a hőkezelés/sütés okozta táplálóanyag veszteségeket pontosan meghatároztuk, illetve vizsgáltuk a piskóta eltarthatósága szempontjából a védőgázas csomagolást és a védőgázas tárolás alatti színárnyalat változást: mindezek alapján javaslatot fogalmaztunk meg a termék optimális tárolására.

In the framework of the project, the goal was to develop a healthy confectionery product line with high nutritional and biological value, which, by following the preparation recommendations, fulfills the dietary recommendations for optimal polyunsaturated fatty acid intake, with particular attention to essential fatty acids. In order to achieve this goal, we increased the biological value of the long-lasting sponge cake product by adding fatty acids, and in addition, we enriched the sponge cake filling cream with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the case of sponge cake slices, nutrient losses caused by heat treatment/baking were precisely determined, and from the point of view of shelf life of the sponge cake, the protective gas packaging and the color change during the protective gas storage were examined: based on all this, we formulated a proposal for the optimal storage of the product.

description: Background: The HIV epidemic in Vietnam has been primarily driven by injection drug use. HIV-infected people who inject drugs (PWID) in Vietnam have very high rates of mental health problems, which can accelerate progression to AIDS and increase mortality rates. No research has explored the barriers and facilitators of mental health care for HIV-infected PWID in Vietnam. Methods: We conducted 28 in-depth interviews among HIV-infected PWID (n = 16), HIV and MMT (methadone maintenance treatment) providers (n = 8), and health officials (n = 4) in Hanoi. We explored participants' perceptions of mental health disorders, and barriers and facilitators to seeking and receiving mental health care. Results: HIV-infected PWID were perceived by both PWID, HIV/MMT providers, and health officials to be vulnerable to mental health problems and to have great need for mental health care. Perceived social, physical, and economical barriers included stigma towards HIV, injection drug use, and mental illnesses; lack of awareness around mental health issues; lack of human resources, facilities and information on mental health services; and limited affordability of mental health services. Social support from family and healthcare providers was a perceived facilitator of mental health care. Conclusions: Interventions should raise self-awareness of HIV-infected PWID about common mental health problems; address social, physical, economic barriers to seeking mental health services; and increase social support for patients.

description: We present results of three-dimensional (3D) simulations of the magnetohydrodynamic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in a stratified shear layer. The magnetic field is taken to be uniform and parallel to the shear flow. We describe the evolution of the fluid flow and the magnetic field for a range of initial conditions. In particular, we investigate how the mixing rate of the fluid depends on the Richardson number and the magnetic field strength. It was found that the magnetic field can enhance as well as suppress mixing. Moreover, we have performed two-dimensional (2D) simulations and discuss some interesting differences between the 2D and 3D results.

description: In this work, Sawdust was used to develop a new low-cost adsorbent and study its application to remove methylene blue dye from aqueous solution. Sawdust was calcined under air atmosphere at three different temperatures (300°C, 400°C, and 500°C) using phosphoric acid (H3PO4) as an activating agent. The structure, morphology, surface functions and the chemical composition of adsorbent were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectra (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), specific surface area (BET) and Boehm method. Different operational parameters such as pH, adsorbent loading, contact time and were investigated to evaluate experimental data. The adsorption of MB on SD-300, SD-400, and SD-500 show that the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models fitted better the experimental results of MB adsorption onto all adsorbents. The maximum capacities based on the Langmuir model were 416.7 mg.g−1 for SD-300, 526.3 mg.g−1 for SD-400, and 819.7 mg.g−1 for SD-500. The positive values of ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS implied that the adsorption process was non-spontaneous and endothermic nature. Finally, Regeneration of the SD-500 was investigated and optimization was performed using CCD combined with RSM.

description: Rainwater quality has not been an issue of concern until recent decades of increasing urbanization and industrialization. Therefore, the role of biogenic contamination sources has been always underestimated as generally, anthropogenic contaminants are thought to be responsible for rainwater quality deterioration. This study aims to find the sources and reasons of biogenic VOC emission into the air and their changes in the air. Also, transfer of biogenic VOCs into the rainwater and their abundance have been investigated. The effects of these biogenic VOCs on rainwater quality have been studied by sampling of two rain events in the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Key water quality parameters such as UV/VIS absorbance, DOC, SUVA, chlorine residual and DBPs formation potentials have been measured and analyzed. The results show a number of high concentrations of DOC and DBP formation potentials in rainwater samples suggesting that although rainwater is still the highest quality of drinking water, but it may have some quality issues especially in terms of DBPs formation potentials that can be caused mainly by the emission of biogenic VOCs.

description: The aim of the study is to investigate the reason for the low productivity of high-energy SEPs in the present solar cycle. We employ scaling laws derived from diffusive shock acceleration theory and simulation studies including proton-generated upstream Alfvén waves to find out how the changes observed in the long-term average properties of the erupting and ambient coronal and/or solar wind plasma would affect the ability of shocks to accelerate particles to the highest energies. Provided that self-generated turbulence dominates particle transport around coronal shocks, it is found that the most crucial factors controlling the diffusive shock acceleration process are the number density of seed particles and the plasma density of the ambient medium. Assuming that suprathermal populations provide a fraction of the particles injected to shock acceleration in the corona, we show that the lack of most energetic particle events as well as the lack of low charge-to-mass ratio ion species in the present cycle can be understood as a result of the reduction of average coronal plasma and suprathermal densities in the present cycle over the previous one.

description: Properties of polyelectrolytes in tetravalent salt solutions are intensively investigated by a coarse-grained model. The concentration of salt and the size of tetravalent counterions are found playing a decisive role on chain properties. If the size of tetravalent counterions is compatible with the one of monomers, the chains show extended structures at low and at high salt concentrations, whereas at intermediate salt concentrations, they acquire compact and prolate structures. The swelling exponent of a chain against salt concentration behaves in an analogous way as the morphological quantities. Under certain condition, the electrostatics gives a negative contribution to the persistence length, in companion with a salt-induced mechanical instability of polyelectrolytes. Nearly at the same moment, it appears like-charge attraction between chains. The equal size of the tetravalent ions and the monomers is the optimal condition to attain the strongest attraction between chains and the most compact chain structure. Moreover, the ions form a multi-layer organization around a chain and, thus, the integrated charge distribution reveals an oscillatory behavior. The results suggest that charge inversion has no direct connection with redissolution of polyelectrolytes at high salt concentrations.

Redshift space bias and beta from the halo model

description: We analyze scale dependence of redshift space bias $b$ and $β\equiv Ω_m^{0.6}/b$ in the context of the halo model. We show that linear bias is a good approximation only on large scales, for $k<0.1h$Mpc$^{-1}$. On intermediate scales the virial motions of the galaxies cause a suppression of the power spectrum relative to the linear one, which differs from the same effect in dark matter. This suppression can potentially mimic the effect of massive neutrinos and the degeneracy can only be broken if the power spectrum is measured for $k \ll 0.1h$Mpc$^{-1}$. Different methods to determine $β$ converge for $k<0.1h$Mpc$^{-1}$, but give drastically different results on smaller scales, which explains some of the trends observed in the real data. We also asses the level of stochasticity by calculating the cross-correlation coefficient between the reconstructed velocity field divergence and the galaxies and show that the two fields decorrelate for $k>0.1h$Mpc$^{-1}$. Most problematic are galaxies predominantly found in groups and clusters, such as bright, red or elliptical galaxies, where we find poor convergence to a constant bias or $β$ even on large scales.

description: Recent results on the construction and applications of the transmutation (transformation) operators are discussed. Three new representations for solutions of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation are considered. Due to the fact that they are obtained with the aid of the transmutation operator all the representations possess an important for practice feature. The accuracy of the approximate solution is independent of the real part of the spectral parameter. This makes the representations especially useful in problems requiring computation of large sets of eigendata with a nondeteriorating accuracy. Applications of the exact representations for the transmutation operators to partial differential equations are discussed as well. In particular, it is shown how the methods based on complete families of solutions can be extended onto equations with variable coefficients.

description: Background: Mental health (MH) disorders in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) account for a large proportion of disease burden. While efficacious treatments exist, only 10% of those in need are able to access care. This treatment gap is fueled by structural determinants including inadequate resource allocation and prioritization, both rooted in a lack of research and policy capacity. The goal of the Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Partnership for Mental Health Capacity Building (SHARP), based in Malawi and Tanzania, is to address those research and policy-based determinants. Methods: SHARP aims to (1) build implementation science skills and expertise among Malawian and Tanzanian researchers in the area of mental health; (2) ensure that Malawian and Tanzanian policymakers and providers have the knowledge and skills to effectively apply research findings on evidence-based mental health programs to routine practice; and (3) strengthen dialogue between researchers, policymakers, and providers leading to efficient and sustainable scale-up of mental health services in Malawi and Tanzania. SHARP comprises five capacity building components: introductory and advanced short courses, a multifaceted dialogue, on-the-job training, pilot grants, and “mentor the mentors” courses. Discussion: Program evaluation includes measuring dose delivered and received, participant knowledge and satis-faction, as well as academic output (e.g., conference posters or presentations, manuscript submissions, grant applica-tions). The SHARP Capacity Building Program aims to make a meaningful contribution in pursuit of a model of capacity building that could be replicated in other LMICs. If impactful, the SHARP Capacity Building Program could increase the knowledge, skills, and mentorship capabilities of researchers, policymakers, and providers regarding effective scale up of evidence-based MH treatment.

description: Background: Option B+ has increased the number of pregnant women initiating antiretroviral therapy for HIV, yet retention in HIV care is sub-optimal. Retention may be affected by antenatal depression. However, few data exist on antenatal depression in this population. Aim: Describe the prevalence and factors associated with antenatal depression among Malawian women enrolled in Option B+. Method: At their first antenatal visit, women with HIV provided demographic and psychosocial information, including depression as measured with the locally validated Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Prevalence ratios (PR) for factors associated with probable depression (EPDS ≥6) were estimated with log binomial regression. Results: 9.5% (95% CI: 7.5–11.9%) of women screened positive for current depression, and 46% self-reported a history of depression or anxiety. Women were more likely to screen positive for current depression if they reported a history of depression (adjusted PR: 2.42; 95% CI: 1.48–3.95) or had ever experienced intimate partner violence (1.77; 1.11–2.81). Having an unintended current pregnancy (1.78; 0.99–3.21), being unmarried (1.66; 0.97–2.84), or employed (1.56; 1.00–2.44) had potential associations with probable depression. Conclusions: Probable antenatal depression affected a notable proportion of women living with HIV, comparable to other global regions. Screening for antenatal depression in HIV care should be considered.

Genes related to osmotic stress (drought/salinity) in the acclimation period in a significant differential expression (in respect to control) in maize root seedlings treated with humic acids. Figure S1. CP/MAS 13C NMR spectrum of humic-like acids (HA) isolated from vermicompost produced with sugarcane filter cake residue. Figure S2. NaCl stress-signalling pathways and interactions with humic acids. The stress signal is perceived by a salt sensor present at the plasma membrane. The signal is responsible for kinases activation, including ones that participated in SOS pathways. The kinases were correlated to induced pumps/channels and transcription factors expression (NAC and bZIP family). Activation of Na2+/H+ antiporter (SOS1, vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter (NHX) was correlated to tolerance to salt stress. Na2+ exclusion (to apoplast) or compartmentalizing (vacuole) is powered by electrochemical gradient generated by H+-ATPase or H+-PPase. The proton electrochemical gradient generated by plasma membrane H+-ATPase results in antiporters ions coupling (antiport K+/Na+). Sodium (Na2+) can enter the cell through voltage independent nonselective cation channels like HKT, generating membrane depolarization. Both depolarization of membrane and changes in turgor pressure affect kinases pathways, and increased Ca2+ cytoplasmic concentration, resulting in vacuolar two pore channel 1 (TPC1) activation, which in turn also increases cytoplasmic Ca2+. High cytosolic Ca2+ activates, among others calcium-binding, calmodulin (CDKs), and was also related to HKT activation. Cytosolic Ca2+ signal is sensed by an SnRK3/calcineurin B-like (CBL) calcium-binding protein complex (SOS3/SOS2) which activates SOS1. Humic acids (HA) increased cytosolic Ca2+, proton pumps, and transcription factors related salt stress responses, such as bZIP and NAC. NAC transcription factor is associated to auxin pathway. SnRK1 regulates carbon metabolism by direct phosphorylation or redox activation or inactivation of metabolic enzymes like nitrate reductase (NR). The SnRK1 activated SnRK2 by Abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent signalling pathways which, in turn, activates AREBPs inducing gene expression. Abscisic acid can also induce SOS3. Enzymes or transcripts evaluated in this work are in cyan.
Revisiting the nonequilibrium phase transition of the triplet-creation model

description: The nonequilibrium phase transition in the triplet-creation model is investigated using critical spreading and the conservative diffusive contact process. The results support the claim that at high enough diffusion the phase transition becomes discontinuous. As the diffusion probability increases the critical exponents change continuously from the ordinary directed percolation (DP) class to the compact directed percolation (CDP). The fractal dimension of the critical cluster, however, switches abruptly between those two universality classes. Strong crossover effects in both methods make it difficult, if not impossible, to establish the exact location of the tricritical point.
