Sustainability of healthcare professionals’ adherence to clinical practice guidelines in primary care
Creators: name: Stewart, Simon
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Primary health care

description: Background: Sustainability of adherence to clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) represents an important indicator of the successful implementation in the primary care setting. Aim: To explore the sustainability of primary care providers’ adherence to CPGs after receiving planned guideline implementation strategies, activities, or programmes. Methods: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL); EMBase; Joanna Briggs Institute; Journals@Ovid; Medline; PsycoINFO; PubMed, and Web of Science were searched from January 2000 through May 2021 to identify relevant studies. Studies evaluating the sustainability of primary care providers’ (PCPs’) adherence to CPGs in primary care after any planned guideline implementation strategies, activities, or programmes were included. Two reviewers extracted data from the included studies and assessed methodological quality independently. Narrative synthesis of the findings was conducted. Results: Eleven studies were included. These studies evaluated the sustainability of adherence to CPGs related to drug prescribing, disease management, cancer screening, and hand hygiene in primary care. Educational outreach visits, teaching sessions, reminders, audit and feedback, and printed materials were utilized in the included studies as guideline implementation strategies. None of the included studies utilized purpose-designed measurements to evaluate the extent of sustainability. Three studies showed positive sustainability results, three studies showed mixed sustainability results, and four studies reported no significant changes in the sustainability of adherence to CPGs. Overall, it was difficult to quantify the extent to which CPG-based healthcare behaviours were fully sustained based on the variety of results reported in the included studies. Conclusion: Current guideline implementation strategies may potentially improve the sustainability of PCPs’ adherence to CPGs. However, the literature reveals a limited body of evidence for any given guideline implementation strategy. Further research, including the development of a validated purpose-designed sustainability tool, is required to address this important clinical issue. Trial registration: The study protocol has been registered at PROSPERO (No. CRD42021259748).

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Music source separation, diffusion models, frequency domain.

description: The challenge of segregating individual musical components from a compound auditory signal is a longstanding issue in the realm of audio processing. Classical methodologies have provided quite interesting solutions but presenting lim-itations in robustness. Drawing inspiration from the recent success and popularity of diffusion models, this work hypothesizes that such training strategy, combined with a frequency-domain-based implementation, can offer substantial improvements in the task of music source separation. The leading-edge implementations of this topic hinge on conventional architectures such as U-net or Wave-U-Net and training approaches with little novelty. This means that the few improvements that can be achieved depend on the amount of data available and the depth of the neural net-work. This thesis approaches the problem from a different perspective, proposing a novel training strategy based on the nature of diffusion models. To this end, we will first approach the creation from scratch of a music source separation model with different variants and then apply the novel training strategy. The significance of this research lies not just in advancing the technical capabilities of music source separation, but also in the potential applications in areas such as music remixing, restoration, or automatic music transcription. This thesis, therefore, serves as a vanguard, encouraging further exploration and refinement in the domain of music source separation applying a diffusion-inspired training strategy.

description: Die von Dolf Sternberger als "Manifest der Humanität" bezeichnete Nachkriegszeitschrift "Die Wandlung" erschien zwischen November 1945 und 1949 in Heidelberg, der sogenannten Hauptstadt des Amerikanischen Sektors. Die Zeitschrift erwies sich als attraktive Publikationsplattform für viele Autoren und Autorinnen, die während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in die USA ausgewandert waren – wie Hannah Arendt, Günther Anders und Jacob Picard. Ihre Briefe und Manuskripte querten die Grenzen von Deutschland in die USA und machten den transatlantischen intellektuellen Austausch zu einer gelebten Praxis. Anna Axtner-Borsutzky (HU Berlin) untersucht diese Zeitschrift mit einem Fokus auf den Beitrag ihrer Herausgeber (ab 1947 auch die Herausgeberin Marie Luise Kaschnitz), die intellektuellen Beziehungen der Welt mit Deutschland nach dem Krieg wiederherzustellen – mit besonderem Schwerpunkt auf die USA.
description: A »manifesto of humanity« (Dolf Sternberger), the postwar journal »Die Wandlung« was published in Heidelberg, the so-called capital of the American Sector, between November 1945 to 1949. The journal turned out to be an appealing publication platform for many authors who had emigrated to the USA during WWII — like Hannah Arendt, Günther Anders and Jacob Picard. With their letters and manuscripts crossing borders from Germany to the USA, transatlantic intellectual exchange was a lived practice. Anna Axtner-Borsutzky (HU Berlin) turns to this journal to illuminate how its editors helped to rebuild postwar Germany’s intellectual ties to and understanding of the world.

Piano Performance Analysis Using Technique Information Extracted from Videos

Year: 2023
Subjects: Audio-Visual Datasets; Hand-Pose Estimation; Automatic Piano Fingering; Neural Networks

description: Piano technique is an important aspect of the performance and learning of the mu-sical instrument and requires an understanding of the physical and visual processes of performance. Many of the elements of a performance will be influenced by the pianist’s technique, which can include limitations such as their skill, hand size, and finger dexterity. As such, understanding technique can enhance many applications in piano, including skill assessment and movement suggestions for education, more realistic generative models based on the constraints/movement of hands, refining the classification range in polyphonic pitch estimation by modelling the hand placement on the piano and estimating the most efficient or desirable fingers for a sequence of notes, among many other applications. We present a generalized pipeline for extracting hand movement information from piano performance videos and demon-strate the creation of a dataset from YouTube videos. An analysis is performed on the created dataset and outlines the accuracy in extracting technique information using the given hand-pose estimation and transcription models. We then train an autoregressive graph neural network using this new dataset for the task of Auto-matic Piano Fingers (APF) and benchmark the performance in comparison with state-of-the-art models. Limitations to automatic technique extraction from videos are discussed, and a series of feature improvements are documented to improve the next iterations of this dataset.

Subjects: Machine Learning; Interactive interface; Pose estimation; MediaPipe; MoveNet; Motor rehabilitation; Stroke; Music Therapy.

description: In this work, a digital music interface software has been developed for helping motor rehabilitation in stroke patients by capturing the movement using a webcam.
 To improve patients’ quality of life using the digital interface, the Processing pro-gramming language has been used to design the interactive interface. Some Python scripts have been used to load the deep learning models that detects the body key-points. Finally, the Wekinator software has been used to learn the positions and predict poses from new incoming data poses.
 As a result of the previous steps, the interface offers different tasks to improve motion on patients. Two of the tasks have been designed to be used simultaneously with a music therapist or a musical song. On the one hand, while the patient’s position is mapped to a musical sound, the music therapist accompanies the patient with an instrument. On the other hand, a song is selected with the interface and reproduced. The patient keeps the tempo with the movements and accompanies the song with some music notes or drums. The other two tasks are designed so that the patient can use them without much help; it is a game that combines cognitive and motor rehabilitation.
 The interface has been tested on a few stroke patients and on some healthy people to test its potential. After the sessions, some questionnaires were done to: evaluate the results and compare the digital instrument with a traditional instrument, asses the understability and utility of the interface and check the progress of the patients. The results show that the digital instrument interface has potential as a tool for stroke rehabilitation, but a longer and larger study needs to be done to have robust results.
Comparison of algorithms for removing leakage in music learning scenario

Subjects: Source Separation, Acoustic Echo Cancellation, Leakage Removal, Artificial Neural Network

description: The leakage of accompaniment in computer-aided music education scenarios is an-noying, as it will prevent many Music Information Retrieval (MIR) algorithms from working properly. Although removing this leakage is favorable, few works directly address this issue. However, many algorithms have already been proposed in Source Separation or Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) areas, and these two problems are similar to Leakage Removal. In this thesis, we compare the results of four differ-ent algorithms, two of them were originally designed for Source Separation or AEC problem and are modified for our problem. A dataset is constructed for this task and is publicly available. Results show that FullSubNet is generally advantageous compared to other models, but other models could be more favorable in specific cases.

description: Given the availability of large source-code repositories, there has been a large number of applications for large-scale clone detection. Unfortunately, despite a decade of active research, there is a marked lack in clone detectors that scale to big software systems or large repositories, specifically for detecting near-miss (Type 3) clones where significant editing activities may take place in the cloned code. This paper demonstrates: (i) SourcererCC, a token-based clone detector that targets the first three clone types, and exploits an index to achieve scalability to large inter-project repositories using a standard workstation. It uses an optimized inverted-index to quickly query the potential clones of a given code block. Filtering heuristics based on token ordering are used to significantly reduce the size of the index, the number of code-block comparisons needed to detect the clones, as well as the number of required token-comparisons needed to judge a potential clone, and (ii) SourcererCC-I, an Eclipse plug-in, that uses SourcererCC's core engine to identify and navigate clones (both inter and intra project) in real-time during software development. In our experiments, comparing SourcererCC with the state-of-the-art tools, we found that it is the only clone detection tool to successfully scale to 250 MLOC on a standard workstation with 12 GB RAM and efficiently detect the first three types of clones (precision 86% and recall 86-100%).

description: We classify all possible fractional charge vortices of charge less than unity in spin-1 and spin-2 polar and cyclic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with zero magnetization. Statics and dynamics of these vortices in quasi-two-dimensional spinor BECs are studied employing accurate numerical solution and a Lagrange variational approximation. The results for density and collective-mode oscillation are illustrated using fractional-charge BEC vortex of $^{23}$Na and $^{87}$Rb atoms with realistic interaction and trapping potential parameters.
Moderate aortic stenosis: Culprit or bystander?
Creators: name: Stewart, Simon
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Cardiology (incl. cardiovascular diseases)

description: Non-rheumatic aortic stenosis (AS) is among the most common valvular diseases in the developed world. Current guidelines support aortic valve replacement (AVR) for severe symptomatic AS, which carries high morbidity and mortality when left untreated. In contrast, moderate AS has historically been thought to be a benign diagnosis for which the potential benefits of AVR are outweighed by the procedural risks. However, emerging data demonstrating the substantial mortality risk in untreated moderate AS and substantial improvements in periprocedural and perioperative mortality with AVR have challenged the traditional risk/benefit paradigm. As such, an appraisal of the contemporary data on morbidity and mortality associated with moderate AS and appropriate timing of valvular intervention in AS is warranted. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of moderate AS, including the epidemiology, current surveillance and management guidelines, clinical outcomes, and future studies.

description: The possibility for the existence of unstable bound states of the S11 nucleon resonance N$^*$(1535) and nuclei is investigated. These quasibound states are speculated to be closely related to the existence of the quasibound states of the eta mesons and nuclei. Within a simple model for the N N$^*$ interaction involving a pion and eta meson exchange, N$^*$-nucleus potentials for N*-$^3$He and N*-$^{24}$Mg are evaluated and found to be of a Woods-Saxon like form which supports two to three bound states. In case of N*-$^3$He, one state bound by only a few keV and another by 4 MeV is found. The results are however quite sensitive to the N N$^*$ $π$ and N N$^*$ $η$ vertex parameters. A rough estimate of the width of these states, based on the mean free path of the exchanged mesons in the nuclei leads to very broad states with $Γ\sim$ 80 and 110 MeV for N*-$^3$He and N*-$^{24}$Mg respectively.

Tap to Drums: Extending Monophonically Tapped Rhythms to Polyphonic Drum Pattern Generation

Subjects: rhythm, rhythm perception, rhythm similarity, tapping, rhythm space

description: In this paper, we explore the literature surrounding rhythm perception to develop algorithms that extract a monophonic rhythm from a polyphonic drum pattern. We develop machine learning models for those algorithms to predict the pattern’s location in a polyphonic similarity based 2-d latent rhythm space. Following that we have 25 subjects tap along to polyphonic drum patterns to explore the behaviors of reproducing complex rhythms. The model was able to reasonably predict the location of a monophonic rhythm in the rhythm space (MAE=0.039, SD=0.057). Subjects tapped more accurately to an intended velocity as they became more experienced with the system. The model failed to predict the location of the subject-tapped monophonic rhythms (MAE=0.4580, SD=0.076), highlighting the need for a more thorough subject-rated investigation into refining a tapàpolyphonic drums pipeline.

description: In a recent paper [J. Combin. Theory Ser.

They conjectured that for any integers $k\geq 1$ and $n\geq 2k+1$, the Schrijver graph $SG(n,k)$ contains a spanning subgraph which is a quadrangulation of $P^{n-2k}$. The purpose of this paper is to prove the conjecture.
Effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of covid-19, SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and covid-19 mortality: Systematic review and meta-analysis

description: Objective: To review the evidence on the effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of covid-19, SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and covid-19 mortality. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Biosis, Joanna Briggs, Global Health, and World Health Organization COVID-19 database (preprints). Eligibility criteria for study selection Observational and interventional studies that assessed the effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of covid-19, SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and covid-19 mortality. Main outcome measures The main outcome measure was incidence of covid-19. Secondary outcomes included SARS-CoV-2 transmission and covid-19 mortality. Data synthesis DerSimonian Laird random effects meta-analysis was performed to investigate the effect of mask wearing, handwashing, and physical distancing measures on incidence of covid-19. Pooled effect estimates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were computed, and heterogeneity among studies was assessed using Cochran's Q test and the I 2 metrics, with two tailed P values. Results 72 studies met the inclusion criteria, of which 35 evaluated individual public health measures and 37 assessed multiple public health measures as a "package of interventions."Eight of 35 studies were included in the meta-analysis, which indicated a reduction in incidence of covid-19 associated with handwashing (relative risk 0.47, 95% confidence interval 0.19 to 1.12, I 2 =12%), mask wearing (0.47, 0.29 to 0.75, I 2 =84%), and physical distancing (0.75, 0.59 to 0.95, I 2 =87%). Owing to heterogeneity of the studies, meta-analysis was not possible for the outcomes of quarantine and isolation, universal lockdowns, and closures of borders, schools, and workplaces. The effects of these interventions were synthesised descriptively. Conclusions This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that several personal protective and social measures, including handwashing, mask wearing, and physical distancing are associated with reductions in the incidence covid-19. Public health efforts to implement public health measures should consider community health and sociocultural needs, and future research is needed to better understand the effectiveness of public health measures in the context of covid-19 vaccination.

Design Demarcation: A Pointless and Fruitless Task . . .
Creators: name: Whiting, Philip
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Design history, theory and criticism

description: The term “design” seems to possess a multitude of meanings, interpretations, and uses for people who do not practice as professional designers or teach design at the tertiary or university level. To the general public, at its root, design apparently comes across as two-dimensional decoration and/or as a three-dimensional aesthetic application in the form of surface styling or decoration of a structure, shape, or form. Some might call this understanding superficial, a conclusion compounded by such statements as “everyone is a designer.” However, one might also say that everyone is an accountant, nurse, doctor, philosopher, or psychologist in their daily life when a limited need arises at different points in time. Yet, rarely would many actually begin to believe that they could function in these roles professionally even if they believe that they themselves have no need of professional training or expertise. Given the complex use of “design” as a noun, including its interpretation or misinterpretation, one has to question what demarcation of design as a notion would actually achieve, or why it is believed to be necessary?
Rhythmic Accompaniment Generation with Transformer Neural Networks

description: Deep learning methods have recently emerged as state-of-the-art for many tasks related to automatic music generation. In particular, research on the task of accom-paniment generation has made great advances that have the potential to greatly en-hance tools for music production, performance, and education. Much of the work in this domain has focused primarily on generating either harmonic accompaniment or drum accompaniment. This thesis connects tonality and rhythm in an investigation of automatic rhythmic accompaniment for non-drum instruments — given a vocal melody, compose a rhythm for the bass. We create a dataset of multi-part rhythm pairs from the publicly available Lakh MIDI dataset [1] largely comprising contem-porary Western music, and use it to train a set of conditional generative models. We evaluate these models using two measures of distribution similarity, overlapping area (OA) and Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) [2], to determine their ability to reproduce the aspects of rhythm that we understand to be valuable. Addition-ally, we explore the use of rhythmic descriptors as methods of representing and understanding the rhythmic relationships between two accompanying rhythms. Our results show that the models are able to generally capture both individual rhythmic properties and relationships between pairs of rhythms in the training dataset. Fur-thermore, we demonstrate that good results can be achieved even with a relatively small model.

description: Ectopic pregnancy is a neglected and challenging gynecologic problem in developing countries including Ethiopia. Objective. The present study is aimed at assessing the prevalence of ectopic pregnancy, its management outcomes, and factors associated with management outcomes in Tigray, North Ethiopia. Methods. We employed a four-year retrospective cross-sectional study from September 2015 to August 2019. We extracted data about all pregnant mothers who were admitted and managed for EPs in Axum, Tigray. Ectopic pregnancy and its outcomes (favorable and unfavorable) were the dependent variables, and age, residence, ethnicity, religion, parity, history of abortion, history of EP, pelvic infections, history of surgical procedures, and use contraceptives were the independent variables. We employed descriptive statistics and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses using SPSS. Ethical clearance was obtained from Axum University, Tigray, Ethiopia. Results. The overall prevalence of ectopic pregnancy was 0.52% of total deliveries, which equates to 1: 193 deliveries. Surgery for ectopic pregnancy accounts for 7.6% of all gynecological surgeries. Most participants were in the age group 26-30 years and lived in rural areas. Among the different EP implantation sites, most cases (92.4%) occurred in the fallopian tube, followed by 5.1% in the ovary and 2.5% in abdominal EPs. Surgical management (laparotomy) was undertaken for all the 79 women diagnosed with EPs, including laparotomy (100%), salpingo-oophorectomy (17.7%), salpingectomy (73.9%), oophorectomy (3.4%), cornual resection (2.5%), and removal of concepts tissue 2.5. The record reports that intraoperative procedure was correctly managed for 47 (59.5%) women but the condition of EP procedure was ruptured for about two-thirds (63.3%) of the women. Thirty (38%) patients had developed some complications after surgery including anemia (hemoglobin<10.5) (n=12), fever (n=10), wound infection (n=2), and pneumonia (n=2). Women who were from urban (AOR=11.2, 95% CI: 2.65-47.2) and who had normal hemoglobin at presentation (AOR=9.94, 95% CI: 2.03-48.7) were associated with favorable maternal outcomes. Conclusions. More than one-third of women with ectopic pregnancies had an unfavorable maternal outcome, which was higher among rural residents and anemic mothers. Women living in rural areas and anemia during pregnancy should seek special attention in the management of EPs. We also recommend improving the data management of hospitals in Ethiopia.

description: We measured the gas abundance profiles in a sample of 122 face-on spiral galaxies observed by the CALIFA survey and included all spaxels whose line emission was consistent with star formation. This type of analysis allowed us to improve the statistics with respect to previous studies, and to properly estimate the oxygen distribution across the entire disc to a distance of up to 3-4 disc effective radii (r$_e$). We confirm the results obtained from classical HII region analysis. In addition to the general negative gradient, an outer flattening can be observed in the oxygen abundance radial profile. An inner drop is also found in some cases. There is a common abundance gradient between 0.5 and 2.0 r$_e$ of $α_{O/H} = -\,0.075\,\rm{dex}/r_e$ with a scatter of $σ= 0.016\,\rm{dex}/r_e$ when normalising the distances to the disc effective radius. By performing a set of Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, we determined that this slope is independent of other galaxy properties, such as morphology, absolute magnitude, and the presence or absence of bars. In particular, barred galaxies do not seem to display shallower gradients, as predicted by numerical simulations. Interestingly, we find that most of the galaxies in the sample with reliable oxygen abundance values beyond $\sim 2$ effective radii (57 galaxies) present a flattening of the abundance gradient in these outer regions. This flattening is not associated with any morphological feature, which suggests that it is a common property of disc galaxies. Finally, we detect a drop or truncation of the abundance in the inner regions of 27 galaxies in the sample; this is only visible for the most massive galaxies.

description: The Detrending Moving Average (DMA) algorithm has been widely used in its several variants for characterizing long-range correlations of random signals and sets (one-dimensional sequences or high-dimensional arrays) either over time or space. In this paper, mainly based on analytical arguments, the scaling performances of the centered DMA, including higher-order ones, are investigated by means of a continuous time approximation and a frequency response approach. Our results are also confirmed by numerical tests. The study is carried out for higher-order DMA operating with moving average polynomials of different degree. In particular, detrending power degree, frequency response, asymptotic scaling, upper limit of the detectable scaling exponent and finite scale range behavior will be discussed.

description: We study the emergence and coherence of stochastic oscillations in star networks of excitable elements in which peripheral nodes receive independent random inputs. A biophysical model of a distal branch of sensory neuron in which peripheral nodes of Ranvier are coupled to a central node by myelinated cable segments is used along with a generic model of networked stochastic active rotators. We show that coherent oscillations can emerge due to stochastic synchronization of peripheral nodes and that the degree of coherence can be maximized by tuning the coupling strength and the size of the network. Analytical results are obtained for the strong coupling regime of the active rotator network. In particular, we show that in the strong coupling regime the network dynamics can be described by an effective single active rotator with rescaled parameters and noise.

description: We present a two-step technique for the synthesis of superconducting CuxBi2Se3. Cu0.15Bi2Se3 single crystals were synthesized using the melt-growth method. Although these samples are non-superconducting, they can be employed to generate high quality superconducting samples if used as precursors in the following electrochemical synthesis step. Samples made from Cu0.15Bi2Se3 reliably exhibit zero-resistance even under the non-optimal quenching condition, while samples made from pristine Bi2Se3 require fine tuning of the quenching conditions to achieve similar performance. Moreover, under the optimal quenching condition, the average superconducting shielding fraction was still lower in the samples made from pristine Bi2Se3 than in the samples made from Cu0.15Bi2Se3. These results suggest that the pre-doped Cu atoms facilitate the formation of a superconducting percolation network. We also discuss the useful clues that we gathered about the locations of Cu dopants that are responsible for superconductivity.

description: In this paper, we consider the Cox--Ingersoll--Ross (CIR) process in the regime where the process does not hit zero. We construct additive and multiplicative discrete approximation schemes for the price of asset that is modeled by the CIR process and geometric CIR process. In order to construct these schemes, we take the Euler approximations of the CIR process itself but replace the increments of the Wiener process with iid bounded vanishing symmetric random variables. We introduce a "truncated" CIR process and apply it to prove the weak convergence of asset prices. We establish the fact that this "truncated" process does not hit zero under the same condition considered for the original nontruncated process.
