description: Introduction: The work environment is one of the main causes of allergic rhinitis. The majority of vendors in Dakar work in places close to roads that are very frequented by vehicles, exposing them to increased air pollution. The study determined the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and its associated risk factors in these vendors. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey based on a structured questionnaire, conducted among vendors in the neighborhoods of HLM, Medina and Petersen in Dakar, Senegal. A total of 200 vendors were interviewed. Symptoms of allergic rhinitis were defined as the simultaneous presence of rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and sneezing in the absence of respiratory infection. A logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics, occupational factors, and allergic rhinitis. Results: Results of the study show a prevalence of 43% of allergic rhinitis among vendors. Multivariate analysis showed that the independent factors associated with allergic rhinitis in these vendors were age [OR: 3.28 (1.02 - 10.51)], working area [OR: 8.31 (2.39 - 28.95)], exposure to multiple sources of pollution [OR: 4.08 (1.43 - 11.63)], and recurrent cold [OR: 4.39 (1.15 - 16.85)]. Conclusion: The prevalence of allergic rhinitis was high among vendors in Dakar. With the rapid and continuous urbanization process, more and more people are exposed to high levels of air pollution. Our data suggest that exposure to air pollution at the workplace in vendors could lead to allergic rhinitis.

description: We have developed a Green's function formalism to compute the local field distribution near an interface separating two media of different dielectric constants. The Maxwell's equations are converted into a surface integral equation; thus it greatly simplifies the solutions and yields accurate results for interfaces of arbitrary shape. The integral equation is solved and the local field distribution is obtained for a periodic interface.

description: We introduce a new brane-world model in which the bulk solution consists of outgoing plane waves. This is an exact solution to string theory with no naked singularities. The recently discussed self-tuning mechanism to cancel the cosmological constant on a brane is naturally incorporated. We show that even if the vacuum energy on the brane changes, e.g. due to a phase transition, the brane geometry remains insensitive to the local vacuum energy. We also consider the static self-tuning branes introduced earlier, and find a solution in which the brane geometry starts to contract when the vacuum energy on the brane changes.

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht die volksreligiösen Überzeugungen und Praktiken Chinas im In- und Ausland (insbesondere im Einwanderungskontext). Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf religiösem Glauben und religiösen Praktiken im Alltag, sowohl persönlich als auch in der Familie. Durch die Verwendung eines ethnografischen Ansatzes, der auf „guesthood“ basiert, werden die gelebten religiösen Überzeugungen und Erfahrungen des „gewöhnlichen" chinesischen Volkes untersucht.
description: This thesis examines Chinese popular religious beliefs and practices at home and abroad (namely within an immigration context). More specifically, this thesis seeks to examine religious belief and practice within everyday life: personal and family based religion. By utilising an ethnographic approach grounded in “guesthood” to explore the lived religious beliefs and experiences of “everyday” Chinese people, this thesis ultimately arrives at three interconnected outcomes. Firstly, it demonstrates the importance of Chinese-centred research as opposed to the World-Religions narrative. Secondly, “Chinese popular religion” is categorised as a phenomenon that exists beyond the scope of the World Religions narrative. Finally, the extent to which Chinese popular religion depends on age is explored: specifically, children are demonstrated to be as engaged as their adult counterparts, but with key differences in beliefs and practices.

description: The hard X-ray sky at energies above 10 keV, has been extensively explored by the Swift and the NuSTAR missions in the 14-195 keV and the 3-24 keV bands respectively. The major population of the hard X-ray detected sources are AGN. We compare the number count distributions derived from the swift 105-month catalogue with those from the serendipitous NuSTAR source catalogue. In the 14-195 keV band, the Swift/BAT counts follow a Euclidean slope with alpha=1.51+/-0.10 (90% confidence level). The NuSTAR counts in the 8-24 keV band present a steeper slope with alpha = 1.71+/- 0.2$, because of an upturn at fluxes below ~2x10^{-13} erg/cm2/s. The same upturn is observed in the soft (3-8 keV) NuSTAR number counts, which in overall also present a steep slope with alpha = 1.82+/- 0.15. Only the bright part of the NuSTAR 3-8 keV counts agrees with the chandra number counts in the 2-10 keV band while the fainter part (<7x10^{-13} erg/cm2/s ) of the soft NuSTAR counts is in marked disagreement with the chandra counts. Next, we compare the derived number counts in the different bands using our X-ray AGN population synthesis models. The comparison between the Chandra and the Swift/BAT number counts shows a very good agreement for the 'standard' AGN spectrum with a power-law slope Gamma=1.9, a high energy cut-off at ~130 keV and a 2-10 keV reflection component of 3%. On the other hand, using the above standard AGN spectral model, only the bright part of the NuSTAR 8-24 keV and 3-8 keV number counts, agree with the model predictions. Then it is most likely that the disagreement between the X-ray number counts in the different bands is because of the faint NuSTAR number counts. We discuss various possibilities for the origin of this disagreement.

description: A promising prototype of a highly adjustable Kirkpatrick-Baez (KB) microscope has been designed, built and tested in a number of laser driven x-ray experiments using the high power (200TW) VEGA-2 laser system of the Spanish Centre for Pulsed Lasers (CLPU). The presented KB version consists of two, perpendicularly mounted, 500μm thick Silicon wafers, coated with a few tens of nm layer of Platinum unlike the conventional, coated, millimetre thick glass substrates, affording more bending flexibility and large adjustment range. According to simulations, and based on total external reflection, this KB offers a broad-band multi-keV reflection spectra, allowing more spectral tunablity than conventional Bragg crystals. In addition to be vacuum compatible, the prototype is characterised by a relatively small size (21cm x 31cm x 27cm) and permits remote control and modification of both the radius of curvature (down to 10m) and the grazing incidence angle (up to 60mrad). A few examples of focusing performance tests, limitations and experimental campaign results are discussed.

description: Protein-stabilised emulsions can be seen as mixtures of unadsorbed proteins and of protein-stabilised droplets. To identify the contributions of these two components to the overall viscosity of sodium caseinate o/w emulsions, the rheological behaviour of pure suspensions of proteins and droplets were characterised, and their properties used to model the behaviour of their mixtures. These materials are conveniently studied in the framework developed for soft colloids. Here, the use of viscosity models for the two types of pure suspensions facilitates the development of a semi-empirical model that relates the viscosity of protein-stabilised emulsions to their composition.

description: Purpose: Bayesian multilevel models are increasingly used to overcome the limitations of frequentist approaches in the analysis of complex structured data. This tutorial introduces Bayesian multilevel modeling for the specific analysis of speech data, using the brms package developed in R.Method: In this tutorial, we provide a practical introduction to Bayesian multilevel modeling by reanalyzing a phonetic data set containing formant (F1 and F2) values for 5 vowels of standard Indonesian (ISO 639-3:ind), as spoken by 8 speakers (4 females and 4 males), with several repetitions of each vowel.Results: We first give an introductory overview of the Bayesian framework and multilevel modeling. We then show how Bayesian multilevel models can be fitted using the probabilistic programming language Stan and the R package brms, which provides an intuitive formula syntax.Conclusions: Through this tutorial, we demonstrate some of the advantages of the Bayesian framework for statistical modeling and provide a detailed case study, with complete source code for full reproducibility of the analyses (https://osf.io/dpzcb/).

A coarse grained model of granular compaction and relaxation

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We introduce a theoretical model for the compaction of granular materials by discrete vibrations which is expected to hold when the intensity of vibration is low. The dynamical unit is taken to be clusters of granules that belong to the same collective structure. We rigourously construct the model from first principles and show that numerical solutions compare favourably with a range of experimental results. This includes the logarithmic relaxation towards a statistical steady state, the effect of varying the intensity of vibration resulting in a so-called ``annealing'' curve, and the power spectrum of density fluctuations in the steady state itself. A mean field version of the model is introduced which shares many features with the exact model and is open to quantitative analysis.

description: We study the effect of dissipation on the density profile of a one dimensional gas that is subject to gravity. The gas is in thermal equilibrium at temperature T with a heat reservoir at the bottom wall. Perturbative analysis of the Boltzmann equation reveals that the correction due to dissipation resulting from inelastic collisions is positive for $0z_c$ with z the vertical coordinate. The numerically determined value for $z_c$ is $mgz_c/k_BT\approx 1.1613$, where g is the gravitational constant and m is the particle mass.

description: Recent studies of Type Ia Supernovae with redshifts up to about $z~\laq~1$ reveal evidence for a cosmic acceleration in the expansion of the Universe. The most straightforward explanation to account for this acceleration is a cosmological constant dominating the recent history of our Universe; however, a more interesting suggestion is to consider an evolving vacuum energy. Several proposals have been put forward along these lines, most of them in the context of General Relativity. In this work we analyse the conditions under which the dynamics of a self-interacting Brans-Dicke field can account for this accelerated expansion of the Universe. We show that accelerated expanding solutions can be achieved with a quadratic self-coupling of the Brans-Dicke field and a negative coupling constant $ω$.

description: Background: Aim: Congolese Bank employees are often inactive without valid information on the burden of dysglycemia and cardiometabolic risk. This study aims to assess the prevalence rates of diabetes mellitus (DM) and pre-diabetes and to identify the environmental, genetic and cardiometabolic risk factors associated with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and pre-diabetes among Congolese bank employees. The very high level of metabolic disorders may be explained by physical inactivity, nutrition transition and epidemiological transition. Methods: In representative 126 bank employees from Brazzaville, Congo, Central Africa, Abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome (MetS) were defined by IDF for Europe, NCEP-ATPIII and IDF criteria modified for Central Africa. Projected high 10-year total risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) ≥20% was calculated using Framingham scores. Results: Out of the employees, 16% and 21.4% had DM and pre-diabetes, respectively. The rate of T2DM among diabetics was estimated 90%. Aging, high total cholesterol, high LDL-cholesterol, high conicity index and longer urban residence after migration were significantly associated with prediabetes. Physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol intake, abdominal obesity, female gender, low HDL-C, hypertension, CHD, projected high 10-year total CHD risk, age ≥ 55 years, urban residence, Southern area residence, high socioeconomic status, non married status, MetS/NCEP, MetS/IDF for Europe and MetS/IDF for Africa were significantly associated with T2DM. MetS/IDF for Africa was the only independent determinant of T2DM. Conclusion: Urgent prevention and intervention programme are needed to curb the alarming increase in DM, T2DM, pre-diabetes.

description: In this article we explain how the coordinate ring of each (open) Schubert variety in the Grassmannian can be identified with a cluster algebra, whose combinatorial structure is encoded using (target labelings of) Postnikov's plabic graphs. This result generalizes a theorem of Scott (Scott 2006) for the Grassmannian, and proves a folklore conjecture for Schubert varieties that has been believed by experts since (Scott 2006), though the statement was not formally written down until Müller-Speyer explicitly conjectured it (Müller-Speyer 2016). To prove this conjecture we use a result of Leclerc (Leclerc 2016), who used the module category of the preprojective algebra to prove that coordinate rings of many Richardson varieties in the complete flag variety can be identified with cluster algebras. Our proof also uses a construction of Karpman (Karpman 2016) to build plabic graphs associated to reduced expressions. We additionally generalize our result to the setting of skew Schubert varieties; the latter result uses generalized plabic graphs, i.e. plabic graphs whose boundary vertices need not be labeled in cyclic order.

description: Charged porous polymer membranes (CPMs) emerging as a multifunctional platform for diverse applications in chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine have been attracting widespread attention. Fabrication of CPMs in a controllable manner is of particular significance for optimizing their function and maximizing practical values. Herein, we report the fabrication of CPMs exclusively from poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs), and their pore size and wettability were precisely tailored by rational choice of the counteranions. Specifically, stepwise subtle increase in hydrophobicity of the counteranions by extending the length of fluorinated alkyl substituents, i.e. from bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide (Tf2N) to bis(pentafluoroethane sulfonyl)imide (Pf2N) and bis(heptafluoropropane sulfonyl)imide (Hf2N), decreases the average pore size gradually from 1546 nm to 157 nm and 77 nm, respectively. Meanwhile, their corresponding water contact angles increased from 90 degree to 102 degree and 120o. The exquisite control over the porous architectures and surface wettability of CPMs by systematic variation of the anion's hydrophobicity provides a solid proof of the impact of the PIL anions on CPMs' structure.

description: A method for modelling non-Newtonian fluids (dilatants and pseudoplastics) by a power law under the Godunov-Peshkov-Romenski model is presented, along with a new numerical scheme for solving this system. The scheme is also modified to solve the corresponding system for power-law elastoplastic solids. The scheme is based on a temporal operator splitting, with the homogeneous system solved using a finite volume method based on a WENO reconstruction, and the temporal ODEs solved using an analytical approximate solution. The method is found to perform favorably against problems with known exact solutions, and numerical solutions published in the open literature. It is simple to implement, and to the best of the authors' knowledge it is currently the only method for solving this modified version of the GPR model.

Kepler-419 hosts two known planets (b,c). However, in its current configuration, planet c cannot excite the eccentricity of planet b enough to undergo high-eccentricity tidal migration. We investigate whether the presence of an undiscovered fourth body could explain the orbit of Kepler-419b. We explore the parameter space of this potential third giant planet using a suite of N-body simulations with a range of initial conditions. From the results of these simulations, coupled with observational constraints, we can rule out this mechanism for much of the parameter space of initial object d conditions. However, for a small range of parameters (masses between 0.5 and 7 $m_{\rm{Jup}}$, semi-major axes between 4 and 7.5 AU, eccentricities between 0.18 and 0.35, and mutual inclinations near 0$^{\circ}$) an undiscovered object d could periodically excite the eccentricity of Kepler-419b without destabilizing the system over 1 Gyr while producing currently undetectable radial velocity and transit timing variation signals.

description: We report results on polarization-dependent photoinduced discharge in oriented fibers and films of ladder-type, electron-transporting polymer poly (benzimidazobenzophenanthroline), BBL. The photocarrier generation efficiency in the fiber which is indicated by the rate of discharge, is found to be distinctly higher for light polarized parallel to the fiber axis as compared to the radially perpendicular direction . Similar results, with photocarrier generation efficiency anisotropy ~ 10 are obtained for oriented films. These observations are different from previously obtained results on polyparaphenylenevinylene (PPV). The results are compared with the polarization-dependent steady- state photoconductivity measurements. We interpret these results on the basis of molecular and macroscopic features of the material.

description: Image segmentation is the process of partitioning an image into meaningful segments. The meaning of the segments is subjective due to the definition of homogeneity is varied based on the users perspective hence the automation of the segmentation is challenging. Watershed is a popular segmentation technique which assumes topographic map in an image, with the brightness of each pixel representing its height, and finds the lines that run along the tops of ridges. The results from the algorithm typically suffer from over segmentation due to the lack of knowledge of the objects being classified. This paper presents an approach to reduce the over segmentation of watershed algorithm by assuming that the different adjacent segments of an object have similar color distribution. The approach demonstrates an improvement over conventional watershed algorithm.

Quasars: a supermassive rotating toroidal black hole interpretation

description: A supermassive rotating toroidal black hole (TBH) is proposed as the fundamental structure of quasars and other jet-producing active galactic nuclei. Rotating protogalaxies gather matter from the central gaseous region leading to the birth of massive toroidal stars whose internal nuclear reactions proceed very rapidly. Once the nuclear fuel is spent, gravitational collapse produces a slender ring-shaped TBH remnant. These events are typically the first supernovae of the host galaxies. Given time the TBH mass increases through continued accretion by several orders of magnitude, the event horizon swells whilst the central aperture shrinks. The difference in angular velocities between the accreting matter and the TBH induces a magnetic field that is strongest in the region of the central aperture and innermost ergoregion. Due to the presence of negative energy states when such a gravitational vortex is immersed in an electromagnetic field, circumstances are near ideal for energy extraction via non-thermal radiation including the Penrose process and superradiant scattering. This establishes a self-sustaining mechanism whereby the transport of angular momentum away from the quasar by relativistic bi-directional jets reinforces both the modulating magnetic field and the TBH/accretion disk angular velocity differential. Quasar behaviour is extinguished once the BH topology becomes spheroidal. Similar mechanisms may be operating in microquasars, SNe and GRBs when neutron density or BH tori arise. In certain circumstances, long-term TBH stability can be maintained by a negative cosmological constant, otherwise the classical topology theorems must somehow be circumvented. Preliminary evidence is presented that Planck-scale quantum effects may be responsible.

description: In recent years, the combination of precise quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods with realistic nuclear interactions and consistent electroweak currents, in particular those constructed within effective field theories (EFTs), has lead to new insights in light and medium-mass nuclei, neutron matter, and electroweak reactions. This compelling new body of work has been made possible both by advances in QMC methods for nuclear physics, which push the bounds of applicability to heavier nuclei and to asymmetric nuclear matter and by the development of local chiral EFT interactions up to next-to-next-to-leading order and minimally nonlocal interactions including $Δ$ degrees of freedom. In this review, we discuss these recent developments and give an overview of the exciting results for nuclei, neutron matter and neutron stars, and electroweak reactions.

title: Factors influencing the implementation of aerobic exercise after stroke in the UK from stroke survivor, staff and system perspectives: a mixed methods approach
Creators: name: Gaskins, Nicola Jean
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2025

description: Introduction
Aerobic exercise is beneficial after stroke and recommended in the UK National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke (2023), but there are challenges to its implementation.

Aim
To determine the factors influencing the implementation of aerobic exercise after stroke in the UK from the perspectives of stroke survivors, staff, and a system.

Methodology
A convergent mixed-methods design was used comprising three studies exploring perspectives on the implementation of aerobic exercise. A qualitative systematic review, analysed using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), explored staff perspectives. A quantitative retrospective observational study using data from the UK National Audit of Cardiac Rehabilitation (NACR) explored a system perspective. A mixed method (primarily quantitative) survey investigated stroke survivor perspectives. The study’s findings were integrated in a joint display using the CFIR.

Findings
The integrated data showed points of convergence, but no divergence, with some single perspective factors. Convergent findings included the importance of aerobic exercise, support following stroke, and available resources. Stroke survivors and staff identified fear, lack of knowledge and motivation as barriers, and confidence as a factor. Stroke survivors’ comorbidities, deprivation, and exercise preferences are factors in implementation planning. Single perspective factors included safety and perceived risk to the stroke survivor, skill-sharing, training, collaboration, and organisation of services.

Conclusion
This integration generated the most comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing implementation of aerobic exercise after stroke to date. First steps towards increasing implementation in the UK could involve development of an educational ’how-to’ guide to delivering aerobic exercise post-stroke to improve knowledge and confidence amongst staff, and therefore stroke survivors. Development of an implementation strategy should include collaboration and stakeholder involvement to maximise success.

Contributions to knowledge
This research comprises the first time that implementation of aerobic exercise after stroke in the UK has been explored by integrating staff, stroke survivor, and system perspectives. This has enabled identification of factors common to multiple perspectives, thereby providing unique insight into how targeting one modifiable factor could, in fact, simultaneously address others.
Distribution of Eigenvalues in Non-Hermitian Anderson Model

description: We develop a theory which describes the behaviour of eigenvalues of a class of one-dimensional random non-Hermitian operators introduced recently by Hatano and Nelson. Under general assumptions on random parameters we prove that the eigenvalues are distributed along a curve in the complex plane. An equation for the curve is derived and the density of complex eigenvalues is found in terms of spectral characteristics of a ``reference'' hermitian disordered system. Coexistence of the real and complex parts in the spectrum and other generic properties of the eigenvalue distribution for the non-Hermitian problem are discussed.

description: Hyperbolic metasurfaces have gained significant attention due to their extraordinary electromagnetic properties to control propagating plane waves, but the excitation and propagation of the surface plasmon-polaritons at hyperbolic metasurfaces, called hyperbolic plasmons, have been experimentally observed just recently. However, the advantages of the hyperbolic plasmons, such as hybrid TE-TM polarization discussed below, are not yet fully revealed and analyzed. In this paper we focus on the numerical and experimental characterization of surface waves in the frequency range from 2 to 8 GHz supported by a hyperbolic metasurface composed of anisotropic metallic Jerusalem crosses printed on a thin dielectric substrate. We show different shapes of equal frequency contours, which correspond to a plethora of excitation and propagation regimes of surface waves. The principal novelty of this work consists in the experimental demonstration of the surface waves with a hybrid, i.e. mixed TE-TM, polarization. Surface waves with a hybrid polarization are the promising tool in a number of applications and phenomena including polarization converters, plasmonic sensors, plasmon steering over a surface, optical forces, spin-orbit photonics, and highlight the impact for the on-chip and planar networks.

description: Freight trains between Europe and China (China Railway Express) are a central component of the Belt and Road Initiative. In recent years, the service has experienced significant growth, however operational problems still remain. Seeking a solution, this paper used a hierarchical spatial aggregation process based on EU transportation policy to identify 87 origin nodes. Distance-based weighted centrality measures and a TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) model ranked node centrality in European rail, road, and waterway networks. The 10 highest-ranking nodes served as candidate hubs for the mixed-integer linear programme, which considered time-definite, multimodal transportation and penalised partially vacant trains. Berlin, Budapest, Duisburg and Lille were chosen as optimal hub locations.
