description: Kinetic Ising models on the square lattice with both nearest-neighbor interactions and self-interaction are studied for the cases of random sequential updating and parallel updating. The equilibrium phase diagrams and critical dynamics are studied using Monte Carlo simulations and analytic approximations. The Hamiltonians appearing in the Gibbs distribution describing the equilibrium properties differs for sequential and parallel updating but in both cases feature multispin and non-nearest-neighbor couplings. For parallel updating the system is a probabilistic cellular automaton and the equilibrium distribution satisfies detailed balance with respect to the dynamics [E. N. M. Cirillo, P. Y. Louis, W. M. Ruszel and C. Spitoni, Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, 64:36(2014)]. In the limit of weak self-interaction for parallel dynamics, odd and even sublattices are nearly decoupled and checkerboard patterns are present in the critical and low temperature regimes, leading to singular behavior in the shape of the critical line. For sequential updating the equilibrium Gibbs distribution satisfies global balance but not detailed balance and the Hamiltonian is obtained perturbatively in the limit of weak nearest-neighbor dynamical interactions. In the limit of strong self-interaction the equilibrium properties for both parallel and sequential updating are described by a nearest-neighbor Hamiltonian with twice the interaction strength of the dynamical model.

description: Learning with supervision has achieved remarkable success in numerous artificial intelligence (AI) applications. In the current literature, by referring to the properties of the labels prepared for the training dataset, learning with supervision is categorized as supervised learning (SL) and weakly supervised learning (WSL). SL concerns the situation where the training data set is assigned with ideal (complete, exact and accurate) labels, while WSL concerns the situation where the training data set is assigned with non-ideal (incomplete, inexact or inaccurate) labels. However, various solutions for SL tasks have shown that the given labels are not always easy to learn, and the transformation from the given labels to easy-to-learn targets can significantly affect the performance of the final SL solutions. Without considering the properties of the transformation from the given labels to easy-to-learn targets, the definition of SL conceals some details that can be critical to building the appropriate solutions for specific SL tasks. Thus, for engineers in the AI application field, it is desirable to reveal these details systematically. This article attempts to achieve this goal by expanding the categorization of SL and investigating the sub-type moderately supervised learning (MSL) that concerns the situation where the given labels are ideal, but due to the simplicity in annotation, careful designs are required to transform the given labels into easy-to-learn targets. From the perspectives of the definition, framework and generality, we conceptualize MSL to present a complete fundamental basis to systematically analyse MSL tasks. At meantime, revealing the relation between the conceptualization of MSL and the mathematicians' vision, this paper as well establishes a tutorial for AI application engineers to refer to viewing a problem to be solved from the mathematicians' vision.

description: Phänologische Merkmale wie Austriebs- und Blühzeitpunkt sind durch die Aktivität einer Vielzahl an Genen innerhalb eines komplexen Kontrollnetzwerks bedingt. Die Ausprägung des Phänotyps wird zusätzlich stark durch Umweltbedingungen beeinflusst, was die genetische Untersuchung dieser Merkmale erschwert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit konnten Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) für den Austriebszeitpunkt auf den Chromosomen 3, 4, 7 und für den Blühzeitpunkt auf den Chromosomen 1, 4, 7, 8, 14, 17, 18 und 19 in einer biparentalen Kreuzungspopulation der Weinrebe identifiziert werden. Additive Effekte zwischen den einzelnen Loci für den Blühzeitpunkt waren erkennbar. Der QTL auf Chromosom 14 zeigt den größten Einfluss auf die Merkmalsausprägung, er wird als Haupt-QTL für den Blühzeitpunkt in der untersuchten Population angesehen. Durch eine Vergrößerung der biparentalen Kreuzungspopulation, Erstellen einer verbesserten genetischen Karte und QTL-Analyse konnten die Blüh-QTLs im Rebengenom exakter positioniert werden. Bisher sind keine genetischen Marker für die Marker-gestützte Selektion des Blühzeitpunktes in der Rebenzüchtung etabliert. Die Verfügbarkeit solcher Marker würde die zielgerichtete Züchtung später blühender Sorten im Angesicht des Klimawandels, der zu einer Verfrühung der Phänologie führt, ermöglichen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde untersucht, ob SSR-Marker aus den QTL-Bereichen übertragbar sind auf Rebsorten mit verschiedenen genetischen Hintergründen. Als Ergebnis können Marker vorgeschlagen werden, die das Potential zeigen, eine Gegenselektion von früher blühenden Genotypen in Zuchtprogrammen zu ermöglichen. Kandidatengene aus den QTL-Bereichen auf den Chromosomen 7 und 14 wurden genauer untersucht. Sie spielen möglicherweise bei (i) der Regulierung der Blühinduktion und Infloreszenzverzweigung in den Winterknospen, (ii) der Initiierung des Austriebs und der damit verbundenen Differenzierung und korrekten morphologischen Entwicklung von Blättern sowie (iii) der Hemmung des Austriebs durch Aufrechterhaltung der Dormanz im Winter und bei (iv) der Einzelblütenentwicklung nach dem Austrieb eine Rolle.

description: Using first-principles calculations, we predict a lightweight room-temperature ferroelectric carbon-boron framework in a host/guest clathrate structure. This ferroelectric clathrate, with composition ScB$_3$C$_3$, exhibits high polarization density and low mass density compared with widely used commercial ferroelectrics. Molecular dynamics simulations show spontaneous polarization with a moderate above-room-temperature T$_c$ of $\sim$370 K, which implies large susceptibility and possibly large electrocaloric and piezoelectric constants at room temperature. Our findings open the possibility for a new class of ferroelectric materials with potential across a broad range of applications.

description: We report new results in our continuing study of the unique compact (1 pc extent), nearby (d = 97 pc), young (t = 9 Myr) stellar cluster dominated by the B9 star eta Chamaeleontis. An optical photometric survey spanning 1.3 x 1.3 pc adds two M5-M5.5 weak-lined T Tauri (WTT) stars to the cluster inventory which is likely to be significantly complete for primaries with masses > 0.15 M_sun. The cluster now consists of 17 primaries and approximately 9 secondaries lying within 100 AU of their primaries. The apparent distribution of 9:7:1 single:binary:triple systems shows 2-4 x higher multiplicity than in the field main sequence stars, and is comparable to that seen in other pre-main sequence (PMS) populations. The initial mass function (IMF) is consistent with that of rich young clusters and field stars. By extending the cluster IMF to lower masses, we predict 10-14 additional low mass stars with 0.08 < M < 0.15 M-sun and 10-15 brown dwarfs with 0.025 < M < 0.08 M_sun remain to be discovered. The eta Cha cluster extends the established stellar density and richness relationship for young open clusters. The radial distribution of stars is consistent with an isothermal sphere, but mass segregation is present with > 50 percent of the stellar mass residing in the inner 6 arcmin (0.17 pc). Considering that the eta Cha cluster is sparse, diffuse and young, the cluster may be an ideal laboratory for distinguishing between mass segregation that is primordial in nature, or arising from dynamical interaction processes.

title: 'A Holding, Uniting-Constant Friend': The Organ in Seventeenth-Century English Domestic Music
Creators: name: Force, David Robert Stuart
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis presents an investigation into the nature and use of the consort organ in English secular instrumental music of the seventeenth century with a view to informing present-day performance practice. Whilst the English string consort repertoire has been widely studied from the perspective of the viol and violin, the role of the organ and organist has remained neglected. This study seeks to redress this through the examination of manuscript sources, contemporary writing and extant instruments to illuminate a variety of performance practice issues. The development and organology of the instrument is considered, focussing particularly on the distinctive methods of construction and voicing that were designed to enhance the instrument’s role in playing with string ensembles. The contexts of chamber music at the court, in domestic establishments, and in theatres, choir schools and music meetings are examined from the perspective of the consort organ. Manuscript sources, contemporary historical sources and the consideration of extant instruments in relation to their original locations and associated repertoire are interrogated for performance practice information. The role of the consort organist, from both a musical and sociological standpoint, is also discussed with reference to contemporary sources. The findings reveal that seventeenth-century usage of the organ differed from present-day practice in relation to a number of key areas including pitch, temperament, registration and expression, and that the organist’s role encompassed a wide range of skills that are rarely explored in modern performances or editorial realisations. The study concludes that a revised approach to the use of the consort organ in present-day performance of the seventeenth-century English consort repertoire is required.

title: Threads Of Everyday Violence: Childhood In An Urdu-Speaking Bihari Camp In Bangladesh
Creators: name: Afroze, Jiniya
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2019

description: This thesis explores children’s everyday experiences in an Urdu-speaking Bihari camp in Dhaka, Bangladesh. As members of the Bihari community, children and adults living in the camp are historically, ethnically, linguistically, and structurally marginalised. Examining the everyday lives of children and adults in a camp, this research illustrates how the concept of everyday violence plays out in children’s lives, and how children negotiate their agency in responding to everyday violence. Studies of children’s experiences of everyday violence and their agency in responding to it are still nascent in the field of Childhood Studies. Taking on board some of the contemporary discussions from the field relating to relational agency (Spyrou, 2018, 2019; Spyrou, Rosen and Cook, 2018; Abebe, 2019; Prout, 2019) and everyday violence (Scheper-Hughes and Bourgois, 2004b; Wells et al., 2014; Maternowska et al., 2018; Pells et al., 2018), this thesis aims to contribute to this emerging body of literature by bringing out a nuanced understanding of children’s experiences of everyday violence and their negotiation of agency in relation to power in spaces, gender, and generation. Embracing an ethnographic approach, data was collected between April and November 2016, using a combination of participant observation, interviews, and discussions with 78 children and 54 adults in a Bihari camp. The thesis argues that central to discourses around the construction of childhood in the camp are ideas about the ‘good’ and ‘rotten’ child, which are closely linked to the concept of good/rotten spaces. Children’s use of spaces, aspirations for education and work, and responses to cultural norms/practices, therefore, intertwine with ideas about respectability which define, shape, and influence children’s experiences of everyday violence. While children’s opportunities are often compromised and constrained in relation to everyday power dynamics, children constantly contest and negotiate relationships of power. Overall, the subtlety and complexity of children’s experiences demand a more nuanced exploration of children’s social spaces (e.g. home, camp, streets, school, workplace), as well as the socio-structural factors (e.g. poverty, power relations/dynamics in gender and generation) which shape their lives in order to fully understand how experiences of everyday violence are threaded through the mundane social practices and minutiae of children’s everyday lives.

description: The adiabatic theorem shows that the instantaneous eigenstate is a good approximation of the exact solution for a quantum system in adiabatic evolution. One may therefore expect that the geometric phase calculated by using the eigenstate should be also a good approximation of exact geometric phase. However, we find that the former phase may differ appreciably from the latter if the evolution time is large enough.

description: We report the observation of large ($\sim 40%$) laser-induced above-bandgap transparency in GaAs at room temperature. The induced transparency is present only during the pulse width of the driving midinfrard laser pulses and its spectral shape is consistent with a laser-induced blue shift of the band edge. Our simulations based on the dynamic Franz-Keldysh effect reproduce the salient features of the experimental results, demonstrating in particular that the amount of the band edge shift is approximately given by the ponderomtive potential.

 Discussion
 Manota simplex is similar to M. clausa. For the distinguishing characters, see under that species. Manota simplex and M. clausa, and to a lesser extent also M. biloba, M. heptacantha, and M. ulu, are reminiscent of the Neotropical M. squamulata Jaschhof & Hippa and M. major Jaschhof & Hippa but differ, for example, by lacking a long and strong group III megaseta.

description: Recent theoretical, numerical, and observational work have suggested that when a growing planet opens a gap in its disk the flow of gas into the gap is dominated by gas falling vertically from a height of at least one gas scale height. Our primary objective is to include, for the first time, the chemical impact that accreting gas above the midplane will have on the resulting C/O. We compute the accretion of gas onto planetary cores beginning at different disk radii and track the chemical composition of the gas and small icy grains to predict the resulting carbon-to-oxygen ratio (C/O) in their atmospheres. In our model, all of the planets which began their evolution inward of 60 AU open a gap in the gas disk, and hence are chemically affected by the vertically accreting gas. Two important conclusions follow from this vertical flow: (1) more oxygen rich icy dust grains become available for accretion onto the planetary atmosphere. (2) The chemical composition of the gas dominates the final C/O of planets in the inner ($

description: We investigate the longitudinal conductance of a disordered three-dimensional (3D) quantum Hall system within a tight-binding lattice model using numerical Thouless conductance calculations. For the bulk, we confirm that the mobility edges are independent of the propagating directions in this anisotropic system. As disorder increases, the conductance peak of the lowest subband in the horizontal direction floats to the central subband as in the two-dimensional (2D) case, while there is no clear evidence of floating in the vertical direction. We thus conclude that for extended states, the longitudinal conductance in the vertical direction behaves like a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) normal metal, while the longitudinal conductance in the horizontal direction is controlled by layered conducting states stacked coherently. Inside the quantum Hall gap, we study the novel 2D chiral surface states at the sidewalls of the sample. We demonstrate the crossover of the surface states between the quasi-1D metal and insulator regimes, which can be achieved by modifying the interlayer hopping strength and the disorder strength in the model. The typical behaviors of the Thouless conductance and the wave functions of the surface states in these two regimes are investigated. Finally, in order to predict the regime of the surface states for arbitrary parameters, we determine an explicit relationship between the localization length of surface states and the microscopic parameters of the model.

description: Supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) are X-ray binary systems with a supergiant companion and likely a neutron star, which show a fast ($\sim 10^3$ s) and high variability with a dynamic range up to $10^{5-6}$. Given their extreme properties, they are considered among the most valuable laboratories to test accretion models. Recently, the orbital parameters of a member of this class, IGR J08408-4503, were obtained from optical observations. We used this information, together with X-ray observations from previous publications and new results from X-ray and optical data collected by INTEGRAL and presented in this work, to study the accretion mechanisms at work in IGR J08408-4503. We found that the high eccentricity of the compact object orbit and the large size of the donor star imply Roche lobe overflow (RLO) around the periastron. It is also likely that a fraction of the outer layers of the photosphere of the donor star are lost from the Lagrangian point $L_2$ during the periastron passages. On the basis of these findings, we discuss the flaring variability of IGR J08408-4503 assuming the presence of an accretion disc. We point out that IGR J08408-4503 may not be the only SFXT with an accretion disc fueled by RLO. These findings open a new scenario for accretion mechanisms in SFXTs, since most of them have so far been based on the assumption of spherically symmetric accretion.

description: The expression of most bacterial genes commences with the binding of RNA polymerase (RNAP)-σ70 holoenzyme to the promoter DNA. This initial RNAP-promoter closed complex undergoes a series of conformational changes, including the formation of a transcription bubble on the promoter and the loading of template DNA strand into the RNAP active site; these changes lead to the catalytically active open complex (RPO) state. Recent cryo-electron microscopy studies have provided detailed structural insight on the RPO and putative intermediates on its formation pathway. Here, we employ single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to interrogate the conformational dynamics and reaction kinetics during real-time RPO formation on a consensus lac promoter. We find that the promoter opening may proceed rapidly from the closed to open conformation in a single apparent step, or may instead involve a significant intermediate between these states. The formed RPO complexes are also different with respect to their transcription bubble stability. The RNAP cleft loops, and especially the β' rudder, stabilise the transcription bubble. The RNAP interactions with the promoter upstream sequence (beyond -35) stimulate transcription bubble nucleation and tune the reaction path towards stable forms of the RPO.

description: The optimal superconductivity ($T_c \approx 30 $ K) in BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$ can be reached when the coupled antiferromagnetic (AF) order ($T_N$) and orthorhombic lattice distortion ($T_s$) are suppressed to zero temperature with increasing of P concentration or hydrostatic pressure. Here we use transport and neutron scattering to study the $c$-axis pressure effects on electronic phases in underdoped BaFe$_2$(As$_{0.72}$P$_{0.28}$)$_2$, which has $T_N = T_s\approx 40$ K and $T_c \approx $ 28 K at zero pressure. With increasing $c$-axis pressure, $T_N$ and $T_s$ are slightly enhanced around $P_c \sim 20 $ MPa. Upon further increasing pressure, AF order is gradually suppressed to zero, while $T_c$ is enhanced to 30 K. Our results reveal the importance of magnetoelastic couplings in BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$, suggesting that the $c$-axis pressure can be used as a tuning parameter to manipulate the electronic phases in iron pnictides.

description: We present a five dimensional supersymmetric SO(10) model compactified on an orbifold $S^{(1)}/Z_2\tm Z_2'$. The gauge symmetry $G_{422}\equiv SU(4)_c\tm SU(2)_L\tm SU(2)_R$, realized on one of the fixed points (branes), is spontaneously broken to the MSSM via the higgs mechanism. Employing a flavor ${\cal U}(1)$ symmetry and suitably extending the 'matter' sector enables us to understand large mixings in the neutrino sector via a democratic approach, versus the small CKM mixings. A residual ${\cal R}$-symmetry on $G_{422}$ brane helps eliminate the troublesome dimension five nucleon decay, while the ${\cal U}(1)$ symmetry plays an essential role in suppressing dimension six decay. For rare leptonic decays we expect ${\rm BR}(μ\to e\ga)\sim {\rm BR}(τ\to μ\ga)\sim {\rm BR}(τ\to e\ga)$.

description: The change of the Kronecker structure of a matrix pencil perturbed by another pencil of rank one has been characterized in terms of the homogeneous invariant factors and the chains of column and row minimal indices of the initial and the perturbed pencils. We obtain here a new characterization in terms of the homogeneous invariant factors and the conjugate partitions of the corresponding chains of column and row minimal indices of both pencils.
 We also define the generalized Weyr characteristic of an arbitrary matrix pencil and obtain bounds for the change of it when the pencil is perturbed by another pencil of rank one. The results improve known results on the problem, hold for arbitrary perturbation pencils of rank one, and for any algebraically closed field.

description: Quantum many-body scars have attracted much interest as a violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) due to recent experimental observation in Rydberg atoms and related theoretical studies. In this paper, we construct a model hosting exact Floquet quantum many-body scars, which violate the Floquet version of ETH. We consider two uniformly-driven static Hamiltonians prohibiting neighboring up spins (Rydberg blockade) like the PXP model, and construct a binary drive composed of them. We show that there exists a four-dimensional subspace which completely avoids thermalization to infinite temperature and that any other states, including some special scar states reported in the static PXP model, are vulnerable to heating and relax to infinite temperature. We also construct a more generalized periodic drive composed of time-dependent PXP-type Hamiltonians showing exact Floquet quantum many-body scars and discuss possible experimental realization of the model in Rydberg atoms.

title: Reconstructing the Indian Monsoon response to global climate change
Creators: name: Nilsson-Kerr, Katrina
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: The Indian Summer Monsoon, a subsystem of the Asian Monsoon, is one of Earth’s most dynamic expressions of oceanic atmospheric-terrestrial processes affecting some of Earth’s most densely populated regions. Therefore, it is imperative to have a comprehensive understanding of the Indian Summer Monsoon in order to understand how its behaviour may be manifested by anthropogenic induced climate changes. Reconstructing how the monsoon behaved in the past presents an opportunity to disentangle its sensitivities to a range of forcing parameters (e.g. ice volume) during periods of different climatic states. However, understanding of how the Indian Summer Monsoon behaved in the past has been limited both spatially and temporally, further constrained by discrepancies among climate proxy records. This thesis fills both a temporal and spatial gap in our knowledge of the past behaviour of the Indian Summer Monsoon. High-resolution (millennial scale) records of Indian Summer Monsoon induced river runoff and surface freshening from the core convective region of the Indian Summer Monsoon, the northern Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea, have been generated from 140 to 70 thousand years ago. These records provide an insight into how the Indian Summer Monsoon responded to the penultimate deglaciation (Termination II), the subsequent warmth of the Last Interglacial Period and ensuing oscillations between warm interstadial and cold stadial periods of Marine Isotope Stage 5. These records are compared with both high-latitude and low-latitude climate records in order to understand how the monsoon responded to changes in Earth’s internal climate system and the influence of external forcing.
Thermal Leptogenesis and Gauge Mediation

description: We show that a mini-thermal inflation occurs naturally in a class of gauge mediation models of supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking, provided that the reheating temperature T_R of the primary inflation is much higher than the SUSY-breaking scale, say T_R > 10^{10} GeV. The reheating process of the thermal inflation produces an amount of entropy, which dilutes the number density of relic gravitinos. This dilution renders the gravitino to be the dark matter in the present universe. The abundance of the gravitinos is independent of the reheating temperature T_R, once the gravtinos are thermally produced after the reheating of the primary inflation. We find that the thermal leptogenesis takes place at T_L\simeq 10^{12-14} GeV for m_{3/2}\simeq 100 keV - 10 MeV without any gravitino problem.

(Figs. 8A, B, C)
 A small­sized Manota.
 Male. Head. Flagellomere 4, Fig. 8A. Maxillary palpus with palpomere 3 bearing 5 apically expanded curved sensilla; palpomere 4 with parasegment. Thorax. Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare setose. Preepisternum 2 non­setose. Laterotergite setose. Episternum 3 setose. Wing. Length 1.4–1.5 mm. Wing membrane dorsally with few setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h non­setose. A1 indicated by 1 to few setae. Hypopygium (Figs. 8B, C). Sternite 9 large, laterally united with gonocoxa and posteriorly extending nearly as far as ventral part of gonocoxa; setosity similar to ventral setosity of gonocoxa. Gonocoxa dorsally in position I with rounded lobe bearing curved row or zone of short strong setae, no megasetae present, not even in position III, no prominent apical lobes. Gonostylus rather small, elongate­oval, with some very strong setae apically and apicomesially. Parastylar lobe present, directed posteriad, with several setae on apical part. Tegmen long with strong shoulders. Sternite 10 unusually large, extending posteriorly nearly as far as gonostyli, setae scattered.
Female and preimaginal stages unknown.
 Discussion
 Manota clausa is similar to M. simplex, but can be distinguished by the characters of the dorsal mesial margin of gonocoxa: in M. clausa the apical/posterior part of the margin is oblique and nearly straight and with normal setae, whereas in M. simplex there is an apicomesial angle with a couple of short strong setae.

Concentration phenomena for a fractional relativistic Schrödinger equation with critical growth
Creators: name: Ambrosio, Vincenzo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: In this paper, we are concerned with the following fractional relativistic Schrödinger equation with critical growth: \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-Δ+m^{2})^{s}u + V(\varepsilon x) u= f(u)+u^{2^{*}_{s}-1} \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \\ u\in H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N}), \quad u>0 \, \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $\varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter, $s\in (0, 1)$, $m>0$, $N> 2s$, $2^{*}_{s}=\frac{2N}{N-2s}$ is the fractional critical exponent, $(-Δ+m^{2})^{s}$ is the fractional relativistic Schrödinger operator, $V:\mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous potential, and $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a superlinear continuous nonlinearity with subcritical growth at infinity. Under suitable assumptions on the potential $V$, we construct a family of positive solutions $u_{\varepsilon}\in H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N})$, with exponential decay, which concentrates around a local minimum of $V$ as $\varepsilon\rightarrow 0$.

Segregation in a fluidized binary granular mixture: Competition between buoyancy and geometric forces

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Starting from the hydrodynamic equations of binary granular mixtures, we derive an evolution equation for the relative velocity of the intruders, which is shown to be coupled to the inertia of the smaller particles. The onset of Brazil-nut segregation is explained as a competition between the buoyancy and geometric forces: the Archimedean buoyancy force, a buoyancy force due to the difference between the energies of two granular species, and two geometric forces, one compressive and the other-one tensile in nature, due to the size-difference. We show that inelastic dissipation strongly affects the phase diagram of the Brazil nut phenomenon and our model is able to explain the experimental results of Breu et al. (PRL, 2003, vol. 90, p. 01402).

Preoperative vaginal preparation with antiseptic solution in cesarean birth : a clinical practice guideline
Creators: name: Kim, Esther
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Infectious morbidities remain the most common post-cesarean complication despite prophylactic measures to reduce the risk of infection. Infectious morbidities have significant implications for both the mother and her infant(s). Current empirical evidence suggests that vaginal preparation with an antiseptic solution immediately prior to cesarean birth reduces the risk of infectious morbidities—namely endometritis—in women who were in labour and/or with ruptured membranes prior to CS. However, there are no clear recommendations for the use of vaginal preparation. This culminating project critically analyzes the literature on pre-cesarean vaginal preparation and develops a clinical practice guideline based on the literature review to standardize and guide healthcare providers’ patient care. The findings suggest that vaginal preparation with povidone-iodine or chlorhexidine decreases the incidence of postpartum endometritis. Implications for nursing include the implementation of vaginal preparation within a care bundle and further research to confirm the findings.
