description: BackgroundCardiac biomarkers are routinely obtained in the setting of suspected myocardial ischemia and infarction. Evidence suggests these markers may correlate with functional and clinical outcomes, but the strength of this correlation is unclear. The relationship between enzyme measures of myocardial necrosis and left ventricular performance and adverse clinical outcomes were explored.MethodsCreatine kinase (CK) and CK-MB data were analyzed, as were left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by angiogram, and infarct size by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging in patients in 2 trials: Prompt Reperfusion In Myocardial-infarction Evolution (PRIME), and Efegatran and Streptokinase to Canalize Arteries Like Accelerated Tissue plasminogen activator (ESCALAT). Both trials evaluated efegatran combined with thrombolysis for treating acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).ResultsPeak CK and CK area-under-the-curve (AUC) correlated significantly with SPECT-determined infarct size 5 to 10 days after enrollment. Peak CK had a statistically significant correlation with LVEF, but CK-AUC and LVEF correlation were less robust. Statistically significant correlations exist between SPECT-determined infarct size and peak CK-MB and CK-MB AUC. However, there was no correlation with LVEF for peak CK-MB and CK-MB AUC. The combined outcome of congestive heart failure and death were significantly associated with CK AUC, CK-MB AUC, peak CK, and peak CK-MB measurements.ConclusionPeak CK and CK-MB values and AUC calculations have significant correlation with functional outcomes (LVEF- and SPECT-determined infarct size) and death or CHF outcomes in the setting of STEMI. Cardiac biomarkers provide prognostic information and may serve as valid endpoint measurements for phase II clinical trials.

description: We study the possible ground state configurations of two strongly coupled chains of charge neutral spin-3/2 fermionic atoms interacting via short range van der Waals interaction. The coupling between the two chains is realized by relatively large hopping amplitude. Exploiting that such a ladder configuration can be mapped to an effective one-band model we analyze the emerging ground states of the system. We show that various spatially inhomogeneous states, valence bond states, plaquette states compete depending on the filling and the ratio of the interaction strengths in the singlet and quintet scattering channel. We find that a Luttinger liquid state is the ground state of the strongly coupled ladder in an extended region of the parameter space, and we also show that a topologically nontrivial charge Haldane state can emerge in the strongly coupled ladder at quarter and three-quarter fillings.

description: BackgroundThe Northwestern University Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics (CERT), funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, is one of seven such centers in the USA. The thematic focus of the Northwestern CERT is ‘Tools for Optimizing Medication Safety.’ Ensuring drug safety is essential, as many adults struggle to take medications, with estimates indicating that only half of adults take drugs as prescribed. This report describes the methods and rationale for one innovative project within the CERT: the ‘Primary Care, Electronic Health Record-Based Strategy to Promote Safe and Appropriate Drug Use’.Methods/DesignThe overall objective of this 5-year study is to evaluate a health literacy-informed, electronic health record-based strategy for promoting safe and effective prescription medication use in a primary care setting. A total of 600 English and Spanish-speaking patients with diabetes will be consecutively recruited to participate in the study. Patients will be randomized to receive either usual care or the intervention; those in the intervention arm will receive a set of print materials designed to support medication use and prompt provider counseling and medication reconciliation. Participants will be interviewed in person after their index clinic visit and again one month later. Process outcomes related to intervention delivery will be recorded. A medical chart review will be performed at 6 months. Patient outcome measures include medication understanding, adherence and clinical measures (hemoglobin A1c, blood pressure, and cholesterol; exploratory outcomes only).DiscussionThrough this study, we will be able to examine the impact of a health literacy-informed, electronic health record-based strategy on medication understanding and adherence among diabetic primary care patients. The measurement of process outcomes will help inform how the strategy might ultimately be refined and disseminated to other sites. Strategies such as these are needed to address the multifaceted challenges related to medication self-management among patients with chronic conditions.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT01669473.

description: Based on an analogy with topologically ordered new state of matter in condensed matter systems, we propose a low energy effective field theory for a parity conserving liquid-like quark-gluon plasma (QGP) around critical temperature in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) system. It shows that below a QCD gap which is expected several times of the critical temperature, the QGP behaves like topological fluid. Many exotic phenomenon of QGP near the critical temperature discovered at RHIC are more readily understood by the suggestion that QGP is a topologically ordered state.

Jänner 2021 war in der US-amerikanischen Politik von hoher Relevanz: an diesem Tag wurde das US-Capitol von Trump-Anhänger:innen gestürmt, darauffolgend wurde das Capitol von tausenden Soldat:innen bewacht. In dieser Arbeit wird anhand von Pressefotografien untersucht, inwieweit der Sturm auf das Capitol als Protest einzuordnen ist und ob man auf diesen Bildern eine Ikonografie anti-demokratischen Protests identifizieren kann. Anhand der Judith Butlers Theorie der Performativität der Versammlung und Nancy Frasers Begriff von Gegenöffentlichkeit wird ein Definitionsversuch von anti-demokratischem Protest angestellt. Die visuelle Kontextanalyse der Pressefotografien der Ereignisse zeigt, dass auf den Bildern vom Sturm und den Bildern der Konsequenzen des Sturms keine Elemente von (anti-demokratischem) Protest festzustellen sind.

description: The origin of neutrino masses and the nature of dark matter are two of the most pressing open questions of the modern astro-particle physics. We consider here the possibility that these two problems are related, and review some theoretical scenarios which offer common solutions. A simple possibility is that the dark matter particle emerges in minimal realizations of the see-saw mechanism, like in the majoron and sterile neutrino scenarios. We present the theoretical motivation for both models and discuss their phenomenology, confronting the predictions of these scenarios with cosmological and astrophysical observations. Finally, we discuss the possibility that the stability of dark matter originates from a flavour symmetry of the leptonic sector. We review a proposal based on an A_4 flavour symmetry.

description: In this paper, a detailed study to probe the top quark Flavour-Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) $tqγ$ and $tqZ$ at the future $e^{-}e^{+}$ collider FCC-ee in three different center-of-mass energies of 240, 350 and 500 GeV is presented. A set of useful variables are proposed and used in a multivariate technique to separate signal $e^- e^+ \rightarrow Z/γ\rightarrow t \bar{q} ~ ( \bar{t} q )$ from standard model background processes. The study includes a fast detector simulation based on the {\sc delphes} package to consider the detector effects. The $3 σ$ discovery regions and the upper limits on the FCNC branching ratios at 95\% confidence level (CL) in terms of the integrated luminosity are presented. It is shown that with 300 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity of data, FCC-ee would be able to exclude the effective coupling strengths above ${\cal O} (10^{-4}-10^{-5})$ which is corresponding to branching fraction of ${\cal O}(0.01-0.001)$\%. We show that moving to a high-luminosity regime leads to a significant improvement on the upper bounds on the top quark FCNC couplings to a photon or a $Z$ boson.

description: The large scale behaviour of a population of cells that grow and interact through the concentration field of the chemicals they secrete is studied using dynamical renormalization group methods. The combination of the effective long-range chemotactic interaction and lack of number conservation leads to a rich variety of phase behaviour in the system, which includes a sharp transition from a phase that has moderate (or controlled) growth and regulated chemical interactions to a phase with strong (or uncontrolled) growth and no chemical interactions. The transition point has nontrivial critical exponents. Our results might help shed light on the interplay between chemical signalling and growth in tissues and colonies, and in particular on the challenging problem of cancer metastasis.

description: Three dimensional Dirac semimetals are stable against weak potential disorder, but not against strong disorder. In the language of renormalization group, such stability stems from the irrelevance of weak disorder in the vicinity of the noninteracting Gaussian fixed point. However, beyond a threshold, potential disorder can take Dirac semimetals into a compressible diffusive metallic phase through a quantum phase transition (QPT), where density of states at zero energy, quasiparticle lifetime and metallic conductivity at $T=0$, are finite. Universal behavior of such unconventional QPT is described within the framework of an $ε(=d-2)$-expansion near the lower critical dimension. Various exponents near this QCP are obtained after performing a two loop perturbative expansion in the vanishing replica limit and we demonstrate that the theory is renormalizable at least to two loop order.We argue that such QPT is always continuous in nature, share same university class with a similar transition driven by odd-parity disorder, critical exponents are independent of flavor number of Dirac femrions and thus can be germane to disordered Cd$_3$As$_2$, Na$_3$Bi. Scaling behaviors of various measurable quantities, such as specific heat, density of states across such QPT are proposed.

title: Förderung des Selbstkonzepts von älteren Menschen durch Jonglieren
Creators: name: Gigl, Miriam

description: Die Gesellschaft wird immer älter, wodurch in Zukunft mehr Menschen in einem Pflege- und Betreuungszentrum betreut werden. Der Einzug in ein Pflege- und Betreuungszentrum steht oft in Verbindung mit einer Abnahme der Selbstständigkeit und Selbstwirksamkeit. Es gibt einen vorgegebenen Tagesablauf, der den Bewohner*innen wenig Raum für eigene Aktivitäten lässt. Hier setzt die Psychomotorik an. Sie arbeitet mit einem ganzheitlichen Menschenbild, bei dem es nicht um Leistung, sondern um die persönliche Entwicklung des Menschen geht. Sie bietet durch bestimmte Aktivitäten einen Rahmen, in dem das Selbstkonzept wieder erlebt und ausgelebt werden kann. Es ist wichtig, dass ältere Menschen nicht vergessen werden und auch sie in ihrem Selbst gefördert werden. Das Selbstkonzept setzt sich aus dem Selbstbild und dem Selbstwertgefühl zusammen. Es fasst alles zusammen, was zu Einstellungen und Überzeugungen zur eigenen Person führt. Durch verschiedene Jongliermaterialien, wie Bälle (fest, weich, springend, groß, klein), Tücher in allen Farben, Pois, Ringe, Keulen und Diabolos können Körper-, Material- und Wahrnehmungserfahrungen gesammelt werden, die das Gefühl der Selbstwirksamkeit, Autonomie und Kontrolle über die eigene Person fördern. Mit einem positiven Selbstkonzept sind die älteren Menschen offener für Neues und für Veränderungen.
description: As people are getting older, more people in nursing homes will need to be taken care of in the near future. Moving to a nursing home is connected with a reduction of independence and self-efficacy. There, elderly people come across a very structured day where there is less space for personal activities. This is where psychomotricity comes into play. It works with a holistic idea of man, where it is more important to support someone in his*her development than to be the best in some sort of activity. Psychomotricity provides a frame in which the self-concept can be experienced and lived out. It is important to not forget elderly people and to support them as human beings. The self-concept is made up of self-perception and self-esteem and combines all approaches and believes one has about oneself. With the help of different juggling materials, such as balls (hard, soft, bouncy, big, little), cloths in different colours, pois, rings, clubs and diabolos, body awareness, material awareness and sense awareness can be created. These materials can support the feelings of self-efficacy, autonomy and controll over oneself. With a positive self-concept, elderly people are more open to new things and changes.

title: Politische Maßnahmen und Medienresonanz in Ländern unterschiedlicher Drogenpolitiken
Creators: name: Witting, Valentina
Year: 2022

description: BerichterstatterInnen sind verschiedenen, auch manipulativen Faktoren ausgesetzt. Anhand einzelner Aspekte der Drogenproblematik wird hier der Einfluss des politischen und mediensystemischen Kontextes auf die Information untersucht. Im Mittelpunkt der Analyse steht der Vergleich der Berichterstattung zweier Länder unterschiedlicher Drogenpolitikansätze: Österreich bzw. Kanada. Daneben gilt es die Frage einer möglichen Kursänderung in der Informationsvermittlung nach einer Gesetzesänderung, nämlich der Cannabislegalisierung Kanadas, zu klären. So ist den Ergebnissen zufolge eine liberalere respektive striktere Haltung gegenüber Drogenkonsum v. a. auf die unterschiedliche Ausrichtung der Boulevardblätter zurückzuführen. Während in Österreich die Populärprintmedien viel und in relativ negativ gefärbten, sehr kurzen Texten die Drogenproblematik und ihre Auswirkungen darstellen, bettet die kanadische Regenbogenpresse das Thema in Live-style-Berichte ein. Da die Legalisierung der Cannabisdroge in Kanada umgesetzt wurde, ist nur in diesem Land eine Veränderung der Berichterstattung zu registrieren. Die Qualitätszeitungen informieren nach der Gesetzesänderung mehr und ausführlicher über Suchtmittel allgemein, wobei Angebot und Vermarktung einen beachtlichen Raum einnehmen.

description: In this paper we provide a quantitative framework for the study of phonological networks (PNs) for the English language by carrying out principled comparisons to null models, either based on site percolation, randomization techniques, or network growth models. In contrast to previous work, we mainly focus on null models that reproduce lower order characteristics of the empirical data. We find that artificial networks matching connectivity properties of the English PN are exceedingly rare: this leads to the hypothesis that the word repertoire might have been assembled over time by preferentially introducing new words which are small modifications of old words. Our null models are able to explain the "power-law-like" part of the degree distributions and generally retrieve qualitative features of the PN such as high clustering, high assortativity coefficient, and small-world characteristics. However, the detailed comparison to expectations from null models also points out significant differences, suggesting the presence of additional constraints in word assembly. Key constraints we identify are the avoidance of large degrees, the avoidance of triadic closure, and the avoidance of large non-percolating clusters.

description: This work studies the relation between gas-phase oxygen abundance and stellar-to-gas fraction in nearby galaxies. We first derive the theoretical prediction, and argue that this relation is fundamental, in the sense that it must be verified regardless of the details of the gas accretion and star formation histories. Moreover, it should hold on "local" scales, i.e. in regions of the order of 1 kpc. These predictions are then compared with a set of spectroscopic observations, including both integrated and resolved data. Although the results depend somewhat on the adopted metallicity calibration, observed galaxies are consistent with the predicted relation, imposing tight constraints on the mass-loading factor of (enriched) galactic winds. The proposed parametrization of the star fraction-metallicity relation is able to describe the observed dependence of the oxygen abundance on gas mass at fixed stellar mass. However, the "local" mass-metallicity relation also depends on the relation between stellar and gas surface densities.

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an important pathogen that infects approximately one third of the world’s population and kills almost two million people annually. An important aspect of M. tuberculosis physiology and pathogenesis is its ability to export proteins into and across the thick mycobacterial cell envelope, where they are ideally positioned to interact with the host. In addition to the specific proteins that are exported by M. tuberculosis, the systems through which these proteins are exported represent potential targets for future drug development. M. tuberculosis possesses two well-known and conserved export systems: the housekeeping Sec pathway and the Tat pathway. In addition, M. tuberculosis possesses specialized export systems including the accessory SecA2 pathway and five ESX pathways. Here we review the current understanding of each of these export systems, with a focus on M. tuberculosis, and discuss the contribution of each system to disease and physiology.

description: The aim of our study was to elucidate the role of Rap2B in the development of human suprarenal epithelioma and to investigate the effect of Rap2B on suprarenal epithelioma cells migration and invasion. We use tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry to evaluate Rap2B staining in 75 suprarenal epithelioma tissues and 75 tumor-adjacent normal renal tissues. And the expression of Rap2B protein in human suprarenal epithelioma cells and tissues was detected by western blot simultaneously. The role of Rap2B in suprarenal epithelioma cells migration and invasion was detected by using wound healing assay, cell migration assay, and matrigel invasion assay. After that, we performed western blot analysis and gelatin zymography to detect MMP-2 protein expression and enzyme activity. Our research showed that Rap2B expression was increased in tumor tissues compared with tumor-adjacent normal renal tissues. But no correlation was found between Rap2B expression and clinicopathological parameters. In addition, we found that Rap2B promoted the cell migration and invasion abilities, and Rap2B increased MMP-2 expression and enzyme activity in suprarenal epithelioma cells. Our data indicated that Rap2B expression is significantly increased in human suprarenal epithelioma and Rap2B can promote the cell migration and invasion abilities, which may provide a new target for the treatment of suprarenal epithelioma.

description: We apply the model of stimulated neutrino transitions to neutrinos traveling through turbulence on a non-constant density profile. We describe a method to predict the location of large amplitude transitions and demonstrate the effectiveness of this method by comparing to numerical calculations using a model supernova (SN) profile. The important wavelength scales of turbulence, both those that stimulate neutrino transformations and those that suppress them, are presented and discussed. We then examine the effects of changing the parameters of the turbulent spectrum, specifically the root-mean-square amplitude and cutoff wavelength, and show how the stimulated transitions model offers an explanation for the increase in both the amplitude and number of transitions with large amplitude turbulence, as well as a suppression or absence of transitions for long cutoff wavelengths. The method can also be used to predict the location of transitions between antineutrino states which, in the normal hierarchy we are using, will not undergo Mikheev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) transitions. Finally, the stimulated neutrino transitions method is applied to the turbulence derived found in a 2D supernova simulation and explains the minimal observed effect on neutrino oscillations in the simulation as as being due to excessive long wavelength modes suppressing transitions and the absence of modes that fulfill the parametric resonance condition.

description: Abstract The equal environments assumption, which holds that trait-relevant environments are equally correlated among monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs, is essential to twin designs. Violations of this assumption could lead to biased parameter estimates in twin models. A variety of methods and measures have been used to test this assumption. No studies to date have evaluated the measurement invariance of such items or examined the distribution of the underlying equal environments trait. The current study was an investigation of the psychometric properties of a self-report measure of twins' equal environments. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that items loaded onto ‘child’ and ‘teen’ equal environments factors. Factor loadings and factor variances and their covariance were invariant for MZ and DZ twins; however, DZ twins had significantly lower factor means than MZ twins. Further, these items demonstrated adequate test–retest reliability. Lastly, the child and teen factors may be bimodally distributed, particularly for MZ twin pairs. Measurement invariance issues, as well as distributions of equal environments traits, should be considered when evaluating the equal environments assumption, in order to produce accurate parameter estimates in twin models.

Role of defects in the onset of wall-induced granular convection

description: We investigate the onset of the wall-induced convection in vertically vibrated granular matter by means of experiments and two-dimensional computer simulations. In both simulations and experiments we find that the wall-induced convection occurs inside the bouncing bed region of the parameter space in which the granular bed behaves like a bouncing ball. A good agreement between experiments and simulations is found for the peak vibration acceleration at which convection starts. By comparing the results of simulations initialised with and without defects, we find that the onset of convection occurs at lower vibration strengths in the presence of defects. Furthermore, we find that the convection of granular particles initialised in a perfect hexagonal lattice is related to the nucleation of defects and the process is described by an Arrhenius law.

description: Abstract Prolonged fatigue equal to or greater than 1 month duration and chronic fatigue equal to or greater than 6 months duration are both commonly seen in clinical practice, yet little is known about the etiology or epidemiology of either symptom. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), while rarer, presents similar challenges in determining cause and epidemiology. Twin studies can be useful in elucidating genetic and environmental influences on fatigue and CFS. The goal of this article was to use biometrical structural equation twin modeling to examine genetic and environmental influences on fatigue, and to investigate whether these influences varied by gender. A total of 1042 monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs and 828 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs who had completed the University of Washington Twin Registry survey were assessed for three fatigue-related variables: prolonged fatigue, chronic fatigue, and CFS. Structural equation twin modeling was used to determine the relative contributions of additive genetic effects, shared environmental effects, and individual-specific environmental effects to the 3 fatigue conditions. In women, tetrachoric correlations were similar for MZ and DZ pairs for prolonged and chronic fatigue, but not for CFS. In men, however, the correlations for prolonged and chronic fatigue were higher in MZ pairs than in DZ pairs. About half the variance for both prolonged and chronic fatigue in males was due to genetic effects, and half due to individual-specific environmental effects. For females, most variance was due to individual environmental effects.

description: Twin studies suggest that global and regional brain volumes are highly heritable. However, estimates of heritability vary across development. Given that all twin studies are open to the potential criticism of non-generalizability due to differences in intrauterine environment between twins and singletons, these age effects may reflect the influence of perinatal environmental factors, which are unique to twins and which may be especially evident early in life. To address this question, we compared brain volumes and the relationship of brain volumes to gestational age in 136 singletons (67 male, 69 female) and 154 twins (75 male, 79 female; 82 DZ, 72 MZ) who had received high resolution MRI scans of the brain in the first month of life. Intracranial volume, total white matter, and ventricle volumes did not differ between twins and singletons. However, cerebrospinal fluid and frontal white matter volume was greater in twins compared to singletons. While gray matter volumes at MRI did not differ between groups, the slope of the relationship between total and cortical gray matter and gestational age at the MRI scan was steeper in MZ twins compared to DZ twins. Post-hoc analyses suggested that gray matter development is delayed in MZ twins in utero and that they experience ‘catch-up’ growth in the first month of life. These differences should be taken into account when interpreting and designing studies in the early postnatal period.

description: Understanding genetic and environmental effects on white matter development in the first years of life is of great interest, as it provides insights into the etiology of neurodevelopmental disorders. In this study, the genetic and environmental effects on white matter were estimated using data from 173 neonatal twin subjects. Diffusion tensor imaging scans were acquired around 40 days after birth and were non-rigidly registered to a group-specific atlas and parcellated into 98 ROIs. A model of additive genetic, and common and specific environmental variance components was used to estimate overall and regional genetic and environmental contributions to diffusion parameters of fractional anisotropy, radial diffusivity, and axial diffusivity. Correlations between the regional heritability values and diffusion parameters were also examined. Results indicate that individual differences in overall white matter microstructure, represented by the average diffusion parameters over the whole brain, are heritable, and estimates are higher than found in studies in adults. Estimates of genetic and environmental variance components vary considerably across different white matter regions. Significant positive correlations between radial diffusivity heritability and radial diffusivity values are consistent with regional genetic variation being modulated by maturation status in the neonatal brain: the more mature the region is, the less genetic variation it shows. Common environmental effects are present in a few regions that tend to be characterized by low radial diffusivity. Results from the joint diffusion parameter analysis suggest that multivariate modeling approaches might be promising to better estimate maturation status and its relationship with genetic and environmental effects.

description: A compact and robust laser system for atom interferometry based on a frequency-doubled telecom laser is presented. Thanks to an original stabilization architecture on a saturated absorption setup, we obtain a frequency-agile laser system allowing fast tuning of the laser frequency over 1 GHz in few ms using a single laser source. The different laser frequencies used for atom interferometry are generated by changing dynamically the frequency of the laser and by creating sidebands using a phase modulator. A laser system for Rubidium 87 atom interferometry using only one laser source based on a frequency doubled telecom fiber bench is then built. We take advantage of the maturity of fiber telecom technology to reduce the number of free-space optical components (which are intrinsically less stable) and to make the setup compact and much less sensitive to vibrations and thermal fluctuations. This source provides spectral linewidth below 2.5 kHz, which is required for precision atom interferometry, and particularly for a high performance atomic inertial sensor.
