description: We investigate a cosmological model in which dark energy identified with the vacuum energy which is running and decaying. In this model vacuum is metastable and decays into a bare (true) vacuum. This decaying process has a quantum nature and is described by tools of the quantum decay theory of unstable systems. We have found formulas for an asymptotic behavior of the energy density of dark energy in the form of a series of inverse powers of the cosmological time. We investigate the dynamics of FRW models using dynamical system methods as well as searching for exact solutions. From dynamical analysis we obtain different evolutional scenarios admissible for all initial conditions. For the interpretation of the dynamical evolution caused by the decay of the quantum vacuum we study the thermodynamics of the apparent horizon of the model as well as the evolution of the temperature. For the early Universe, we found that the quantum effects modified the evolution of the temperature of the Universe. In our model the adiabatic approximation is valid and the quantum vacuum decay occurs with an adequate unknown particle which constitutes quantum vacuum. We argue that the late-time evolution of metastable energy is the holographic dark energy.

description: Making cities smarter help improve city services and increase citizens' quality of life. Information and communication technologies (ICT) are fundamental for progressing towards smarter city environments. Smart City software platforms potentially support the development and integration of Smart City applications. However, the ICT community must overcome current significant technological and scientific challenges before these platforms can be widely used. This paper surveys the state-of-the-art in software platforms for Smart Cities. We analyzed 23 projects with respect to the most used enabling technologies, as well as functional and non-functional requirements, classifying them into four categories: Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, Big Data, and Cloud Computing. Based on these results, we derived a reference architecture to guide the development of next-generation software platforms for Smart Cities. Finally, we enumerated the most frequently cited open research challenges, and discussed future opportunities. This survey gives important references for helping application developers, city managers, system operators, end-users, and Smart City researchers to make project, investment, and research decisions.

description: Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase enzyme (PfDHFR) is counted as one of the attractive and validated antimalarial drug targets. However, the point mutations in the active site of wild-type PfDHFR have developed resistance against the well-known antifolates. Therefore, there is a dire need for the development of inhibitors that can inhibit both wild-type and mutant-type DHFR enzyme. In the present contribution, we have constructed the common feature pharmacophore models from the available PfDHFR. A representative hypothesis was prioritized and then employed for the screening of natural product library to search for the molecules with complementary features responsible for the inhibition. The screened candidates were processed via drug-likeness filters and molecular docking studies. The docking was carried out on the wild-type PfDHFR (3QGT); double-mutant PfDHFR (3UM5 and 1J3J) and quadruple-mutant PfDHFR (1J3K) enzymes. A total of eight common hits were obtained from the docking calculations that could be the potential inhibitors for both wild and mutant type DHFR enzymes. Eventually, the stability of these candidates with the selected proteins was evaluated via molecular dynamics simulations. Except for SPECS14, all the prioritized candidates were found to be stable throughout the simulation run. Overall, the strategy employed in the present work resulted in the retrieval of seven candidates that may show inhibitory activity against PfDHFR and could be further exploited as a scaffold to develop novel antimalarials.

description: Les moustiques (Diptera, Culicidae) forment une famille d’insectes d’une importance considérable en santé publique. Les mentions de leur présence/absence ont été recherchées dans la littérature et auprès de sites internet spécialisés pour huit pays d’Afrique : Cap-Vert, Mauritanie, Sénégal, Gambie, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger et Tchad. Au total, 216 espèces ont été répertoriées, appartenant à 13 genres culicidiens : Anopheles (48 espèces), Aedeomyia (2), Aedes (62), Coquillettidia (6), Culex (54), Culiseta (1), Eretmapodites (7), Ficalbia (3), Lutzia (1), Mansonia (2), Mimomyia (7), Toxorhynchites (4) et Uranotaenia (19). La présence de ces espèces dans la zone d’étude est certaine sauf pour trois espèces dont la présence est douteuse. Cette richesse spécifique représente 6% de la richesse mondiale. Les pays hébergeant la plus grande richesse spécifique sont le Burkina Faso (162 espèces), le Sénégal (142) et le Mali (110) ; le pays avec la plus faible est le Cap-Vert (11). Cette richesse est moindre au nord en climat hyper-aride et supérieure au sud en climat sub-humide. Le Tchad est le pays le moins bien inventorié. Toutes les espèces sont considérées comme natives, à l’exception de Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (le moustique tigre asiatique) introduit en 2016 au Mali et peut-être Ae. (Ochlerotatus) caspius introduit en Mauritanie et Ae. (Stg.) aegypti introduit à Nouakchott en Mauritanie. Cette synthèse des connaissances pourra être utile en matière de lutte antivectorielle, de santé publique, et de recherches à venir.

The lightest scalar glueball

description: Recently performed investigations of meson spectra allow us to determine the resonance structure for the waves $IJ^{PC}=00^{++}$, $10^{++}$, $02^{++}$, $12^{++}$ = $IJ^P= 1/2 0^+$ in the mass region up to 1900 MeV, thus establishing the meson multiplets $1^3P_0q\bar q$ and $2^3P_0q\bar q$. Experimental data demonstrate that there are five scalar/isoscalar states in this mass region. Four of them are $q\bar q$ states, that is, members of the $1^3P_0q\bar q$ and $2^3P_0q\bar q$ nonets, while the fifth state is an extra one not accomodated by $q \bar q$ systematics; it has the properties of the lightest scalar glueball. Analysis of the $00^{++}$-wave performed within the framework of the dispersion relation technique allows us to reconstruct the mixing of a pure gluonium with neighbouring scalar $q \bar q$ states belonging to $1^3P_0q\bar q$ and $2^3P_0q\bar q$ nonets: three scalar mesons share the gluonium state between each other -- those are two comparatively narrow resonances $f_0(1300)$ and $f_0(1500)$ and a broad resonance $f_0(1530^{+90}_{-250})$. The broad state is a descendant of the gluonium, keeping about 40-50% of its component.

description: The Positivstellensätze of Putinar and Schmüdgen show that any polynomial $f$ positive on a compact semialgebraic set can be represented using sums of squares. Recently, there has been large interest in proving effective versions of these results, namely to show bounds on the required degree of the sums of squares in such representations. These effective Positivstellensätze have direct implications for the convergence rate of the celebrated moment-SOS hierarchy in polynomial optimization. In this paper, we restrict to the fundamental case of the hypercube $\mathrm{B}^{n} = [-1, 1]^n$. We show an upper degree bound for Putinar-type representations on $\mathrm{B}^{n}$ of the order $O(f_{\max}/f_{\min})$, where $f_{\max}$, $f_{\min}$ are the maximum and minimum of $f$ on $\mathrm{B}^{n}$, respectively. Previously, specialized results of this kind were available only for Schmüdgen-type representations and not for Putinar-type ones. Complementing this upper degree bound, we show a lower degree bound in $Ω(\sqrt[8]{f_{\max}/f_{\min}})$. This is the first lower bound for Putinar-type representations on a semialgebraic set with nonempty interior described by a standard set of inequalities.

description: En vue d’améliorer la qualité des données de vaccination des centres de santé, nous avons réalisé le suivi des enfants « hors zone » vaccinés dans le district sanitaire de San Pedro. L’objectif de ce travail était de mesurer les effets de la prise en compte des enfants « hors zone » vaccinés sur la qualité des données et les performances vaccinales des centres de santé. Ce suivi qui avait été fait entre mars et août 2019, avait comporté quatre étapes : la vaccination des enfants « hors zone » par le centre de santé, la mise à jour mensuelle dans le registre du statut des enfants « hors zone » vaccinés, la comptabilisation de ces enfants et la réestimation des performances vaccinales du centre de santé. Au total 37 des 40 centres du district avaient eu 980 enfants « hors zone » vaccinés soit 5,7 % de la cible vaccinale. Le quart de ces enfants résidait en dehors du district. La vaccination des enfants « hors zone » avait concerné tous les vaccins du PEV mais surtout le BCG, le DTC-HepB-Hib et le pneumocoque_13. Les effectifs des enfants "hors zone extra district" vaccinés n’avaient pas modifié les couvertures vaccinales du district. Par contre, dans les centres de santé concernés, la précision des données avait été améliorée dans 65 % des centres pour le DTC-HepB-Hib_1, 70 % des centres pour le RR et 62 % des centres pour le taux d’abandon global de vaccination. L’approche utilisée avait permis d’améliorer la qualité des données de vaccination des centres de santé, sans coût additionnel.

description: Resource theories are broad frameworks that capture how useful objects are in performing specific tasks. In this paper we devise a formal resource theory quantum measurements, focusing on the ability of a measurement to acquire information. The objects of the theory are equivalence classes of positive operator-valued measures (POVMs), and the free transformations are changes to a measurement device that can only deteriorate its ability to report information about a physical system. We show that catalysis and purification, protocols that are possible in other resource theories, are impossible in our resource theory for quantum measurements. Standard measures of information gain are shown to be resource monotones, and the resource theory is applied to the task of quantum state discrimination.

Unresolved Grief

description: BackgroundPrevious research shows that many cancer-bereaved youths report unresolved grief several years after the death of a parent. Grief work hypothesis suggests that, in order to heal, the bereaved needs to process the pain of grief in some way. This study explored acute grief experiences and reactions in the first 6 months post-loss among cancer-bereaved teenagers. We further explored long-term grief resolution and potential predictors of having had "an okay way to grieve" in the first months post-loss.MethodsWe used a population-based nationwide, study-specific survey to investigate acute and long-term grief experiences in 622 (73% response rate) bereaved young adults (age > 18) who, 6-9 years earlier, at ages 13-16 years, had lost a parent to cancer. Associations were assessed using bivariable and multivariable logistic regression.ResultsFifty-seven per cent of the participants reported that they did not have a way to grieve that felt okay during the first 6 months after the death of their parent. This was associated with increased risk for long-term unresolved grief (odds ratio (OR): 4.32, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.99-6.28). An association with long-term unresolved grief was also found for those who reported to have been numbing and postponing (42%, OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.22-2.47), overwhelmed by grief (24%, OR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.35-3.04) and discouraged from grieving (15%, OR: 2.68, 95% CI: 1.62-4.56) or to have concealed their grief to protect the other parent (24%, OR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.23-2.73). Predictors of having had an okay way to grieve included being male, having had good family cohesion, and having talked about what was important with the dying parent.ConclusionMore than half of the cancer-bereaved teenagers did not find a way to grieve that felt okay during the first 6 months after the death of their parent and the acute grief experiences and reaction were associated with their grief resolution long-term, i.e. 6-9 years post-loss. Facilitating a last conversation with their dying parent, good family cohesion, and providing teenagers with knowledge about common grief experiences may help to prevent long-term unresolved grief.

description: The one-particle electron spectrum is found for hot and dense QED and its properties are investigated in comparison with the collective spectrum. It is shown that the one-particle spectrum (in any case its zero momentum limit) is gauge invariant, but the collective spectrum, being qualitatively different, is always gauge dependent. The exception is the case $m,μ=0$ for which the collective spectrum long wavelength limit demonstrates the gauge invariance as well.

description: We show that a natural spinor-helicity formalism that can describe massive scattering amplitudes exists in $D=6$ dimensions. This is arranged by having helicity spinors carry an index in the Dirac spinor {\bf 4} of the massive little group, $SO(5) \sim Sp(4)$. In the high energy limit, two separate kinds of massless helicity spinors emerge as required for consistency with arXiv:0902.0981, with indices in the two $SU(2)$'s of the massless little group $SO(4)$. The tensors of ${\bf 4}$ lead to particles with arbitrary spin, and using these and demanding consistent factorization, we can fix $3-$ and $4-$point tree amplitudes of arbitrary masses and spins: we provide examples. We discuss the high energy limit of scattering amplitudes and the Higgs mechanism in this language, and make some preliminary observations about massive BCFW recursion.

description: Background: Responsive caregiving, or interactions in which caregivers give appropriate responses to a child's signals, is linked to improved psychosocial, cognitive and physical outcomes in children. However, much remains unknown about how responsive caregiving affects child development across cultural and socioeconomic contexts. The purpose of this study is to examine predictors of maternal responsive caregiving and investigate how these interactions are associated with children's development. Methods: Data for the current analyses came from a longitudinal study designed to follow mothers from the third trimester through the first three years of the child's life. To assess responsive caregiving, the Observation of Mother-Child Interaction (OMCI) measure was used to examine maternal and child behaviors during a 5-min picture book activity at 24 months. Outcomes included child height-for-age z-score and child socioemotional development, using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire-Socioemotional (ASQ-SE) in which lower scores demonstrated better development. Using mean comparisons, the effects of baseline sociodemographic factors and maternal depression on responsive caregiving were tested. Analyses utilized hierarchical linear regressions to examine cross-sectional associations between responsive caregiving and child development outcomes at 24 months. Additional analyses controlled for the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME), a common measure in low-income contexts of caregiving, to assess whether OMCI was uniquely predictive of child outcomes. Results: Higher maternal education attainment, lower number of children, greater socioeconomic assets, and lack of maternal depression were associated with higher levels of observed responsive caregiving behaviors. Higher total OMCI scores were associated with positive child socioemotional outcomes in adjusted models (β: -0.84, 95% CI [- 1.40, - 0.29]). The finding was statistically significant, even after controlling for HOME score (β: -0.83, 95% CI [- 1.38, - 0.27]). There was no association between OMCI scores and child linear growth. Conclusions: Responsive caregiving is linked to positive child socioemotional development in rural Pakistan. Our findings suggest that incorporating responsive caregiving into child health interventions in LMIC may have valuable impacts on child socioemotional development. The OMCI may be useful in identifying important pathways for change to responsive caregiving behaviors and may be of service for future interventions that optimize child development through responsive caregiving.

description: We show that Écalle's transseries and their variants (LE and EL-series) can be interpreted as functions from positive infinite surreal numbers to surreal numbers. The same holds for a much larger class of formal series, here called omega-series. Omega-series are the smallest subfield of the surreal numbers containing the reals, the ordinal omega, and closed under the exp and log functions and all possible infinite sums. They form a proper class, can be composed and differentiated, and are surreal analytic. The surreal numbers themselves can be interpreted as a large field of transseries containing the omega-series, but, unlike omega-series, they lack a composition operator compatible with the derivation introduced by the authors in an earlier paper.

description: Botulinum toxin serotype A is a prominent therapeutic enzyme, for both clinical and cosmetic uses. Since this protein is produced by bacteria, it exhibits an allergenic effect when subjected to human therapy. Protein mutagenesis is one method to improve the characteristics of protein. However, in silico study is needed to give suggestion of which amino acid should be mutated. Hence, a lot of money and time can be saved. This study initially screened which residue of the Botulinum toxin serotype A is B-cell epitopes both linearly and conformationally. By overlapping the B-cell epitopes with the excluded conserve sequence, seven residues were allowed to be mutated. There were two proposed muteins showing a reduction in the antigenicity probability: ΔE147, E510F, T1062F, ΔE1080, N1089M and ΔQ1090; and ΔE147, E510F, T1062F, E1080W, N1089M and ΔQ1090. Molecular dynamics simulation of the 3D proposed muteins indicated an increase of flexibility in both muteins compared to that in the native protein. Both muteins have lower antigenicity. In addition, they are similar in structure, stability and functionality compared to the native protein.

description: Here, we performed a comprehensive intra-tissue and inter-tissue multilayer network analysis of the human transcriptome. We generated an atlas of communities in gene co-expression networks in 49 tissues (GTEx v8), evaluated their tissue specificity, and investigated their methodological implications. UMAP embeddings of gene expression from the communities (representing nearly 18% of all genes) robustly identified biologically-meaningful clusters. Notably, new gene expression data can be embedded into our algorithmically derived models to accelerate discoveries in high-dimensional molecular datasets and downstream diagnostic or prognostic applications. We demonstrate the generalisability of our approach through systematic testing in external genomic and transcriptomic datasets. Methodologically, prioritisation of the communities in a transcriptome-wide association study of the biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP) in 361,194 individuals in the UK Biobank identified genetically-determined expression changes associated with CRP and led to considerably improved performance. Furthermore, a deep learning framework applied to the communities in nearly 11,000 tumors profiled by The Cancer Genome Atlas across 33 different cancer types learned biologically-meaningful latent spaces, representing metastasis (p -16) and stemness (p -16). Our study provides a rich genomic resource to catalyse research into inter-tissue regulatory mechanisms, and their downstream consequences on human disease.

description: We extend the formalism of Matrix Product States (MPS) to describe one-dimensional gapped systems of fermions with both unitary and anti-unitary symmetries. Additionally, systems with orientation-reversing spatial symmetries are considered. The short-ranged entangled phases of such systems are classified by three invariants, which characterize the projective action of the symmetry on edge states. We give interpretations of these invariants as properties of states on the closed chain. The relationship between fermionic MPS systems at an RG fixed point and equivariant algebras is exploited to derive a group law for the stacking of fermionic phases protected by general fermionic symmetry groups.

description: The ability to deal with articulated objects is very important for robots assisting humans. In this work, a framework to robustly and adaptively operate common doors, using an autonomous mobile manipulator, is proposed. To push forward the state-of-the-art in robustness and speed performance, we devise a novel algorithm that fuses a convolutional neural network with efficient point cloud processing. This advancement enables real-time grasping pose estimation for multiple handles from RGB-D images, providing a speed up improvement for assistive human-centered applications. In addition, we propose a versatile Bayesian framework that endows the robot with the ability to infer the door kinematic model from observations of its motion and learn from previous experiences or human demonstrations. Combining these algorithms with a Task Space Region motion planner, we achieve an efficient door operation regardless of the kinematic model. We validate our framework with real-world experiments using the Toyota Human Support Robot.

description: We give a detailed description of the geometry of isotropic space, in parallel to those of Euclidean space within the realm of Laguerre geometry. After developing basic surface theory in isotropic space, we define spin transformations, directly leading to the spinor representation of conformal surfaces in isotropic space. As an application, we obtain the Weierstrass-type representation for zero mean curvature surfaces, and the Kenmotsu-type representation for constant mean curvature surfaces, allowing us to construct many explicit examples.

description: To gain insight into the out-of-plane electrodynamics of high-$T_c$ superconduct ors we have measured the absolute values and temperature dependence of the c-a xis magnetic penetration depth $λ_c(T)$ for two typical single layer high -$T_c$ cuprates, La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ and HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+x}$ as a function o f doping. A distinct change in the behaviour of $λ_c$ is observed near 0. 20 holes/Cu, which is related to the opening of the normal state pseudogap. The variation of $λ_c$ with doping is qualitatively similar to that of the in -plane component, $λ_{ab}$, which suggests that the c-axis superfluid r esponse is mainly governed by the superconducting condensation energy. The stron g doping dependence of $λ_c(0)$ for p<0.20 provides an explanation for the discrepancies in the literature.

description: In this article we consider closed bosonic string in the presence of constant metric and Kalb-Ramond field with one non-zero component, $B_{xy}=Hz$, where field strength $H$ is infinitesimal. Using Buscher T-duality procedure we dualize along $x$ and $y$ directions and using generalized T-duality procedure along $z$ direction imposing trivial winding conditions. After first two T-dualizations we obtain $Q$ flux theory which is just locally well defined, while after all three T-dualizations we obtain nonlocal $R$ flux theory. Origin of non-locality is variable $ΔV$ defined as line integral, which appears as an argument of the background fields. Rewriting T-dual transformation laws in the canonical form and using standard Poisson algebra, we obtained that $Q$ flux theory is commutative one and the $R$ flux theory is noncommutative and nonassociative one. Consequently, there is a correlation between non-locality and closed string noncommutativity and nonassociativity.

description: The ancient mind/body problem continues to be one of deepest mysteries of science and of the human spirit. Despite major advances in many fields, there is still no plausible link between subjective experience (qualia) and its realization in the body. This paper outlines some of the elements of a rigorous science of mind (SoM) - key ideas include scientific realism of mind, agnostic mysterianism, careful attention to language, and a focus on concrete (touchstone) questions and results. A core suggestion is to focus effort on the (still mysterious) mapping from neural activity to subjective experience.
description: 18 pages and 1 Figure. The ancient mind/body remains a scientific and existential mystery. This article develops a methodology for an incremental Science of Mind and describes some ongoing prospects and successes. Updates include additional phenomena, including emotions,and several more references. A major addition is a postulated general (mysterious) brain-mind mapping

description: Let $(η_i)_{i\geq1}$ be a sequence of $ψ$-mixing random variables. Let $m=\lfloor n^α\rfloor, 0< α< 1, k=\lfloor n/(2m) \rfloor,$ and $Y_j = \sum_{i=1}^m η_{m(j-1)+i}, 1\leq j \leq k.$ Set $ S_k^o=\sum_{j=1}^{k } Y_j $ and $[S^o]_k=\sum_{i=1}^{k } (Y_j )^2.$ We prove a Cramér type moderate deviation expansion for $\mathbb{P}(S_k^o/\sqrt{[ S^o]_k} \geq x)$ as $n\to \infty.$ Our result is similar to the recent work of Chen\textit{ et al.}\ [Self-normalized Cramér-type moderate deviations under dependence. Ann.\ Statist.\ 2016; \textbf{44}(4): 1593--1617] where the authors established Cramér type moderate deviation expansions for $β$-mixing sequences. Comparing to the result of Chen \textit{et al.}, our results hold for mixing coefficients with polynomial decaying rate and wider ranges of validity.

Particle-Vortex Duality and the Modular Group: Applications to the Quantum Hall Effect and Other 2-D Systems

description: We show how particle-vortex duality implies the existence of a large non-abelian discrete symmetry group which relates the electromagnetic response for dual two-dimensional systems in a magnetic field. For conductors with charge carriers satisfying Fermi statistics (or those related to fermions by the action of the group), the resulting group is known to imply many, if not all, of the remarkable features of Quantum Hall systems. For conductors with boson charge carriers (modulo group transformations) a different group is predicted, implying equally striking implications for the conductivities of these systems, including a super-universality of the critical exponents for conductor/insulator and superconductor/insulator transitions in two dimensions and a hierarchical structure, analogous to that of the quantum Hall effect but different in its details. Our derivation shows how this symmetry emerges at low energies, depending only weakly on the details of dynamics of the underlying systems.

description: Generativity, “a concern for others and a need to contribute something to the next generation,” is a dimension of successful aging in and of itself, but also predicts other positive health outcomes. We examine its manifestations and correlates among elderly in rural India and assess the association between generativity and quality of life (QoL). Three hundred and forty-eight rural Indian elderly completed an interviewer-assisted questionnaire assessing generativity, QoL, and other personal and familial factors. Regression models were used to examine potential correlates of generativity and the relationship between generativity and QoL. Higher education, inheritance income, more living children, and a son/daughter living in the home predicted higher levels of generativity. Higher levels of generativity were associated with higher QoL. There are both personal and familial correlates of generativity, and family relationships are important for generative development. Family-oriented interventions to increase generativity among elderly Indians could improve QoL.

description: Classical and quantum electronic circuits provide ideal platforms to investigate stochastic thermodynamics and they have served as a stepping stone to realize Maxwell's demons with highly controllable protocols. In this article we first review the central thermal phenomena in quantum nanostructures. Thermometry and basic refrigeration methods will be described as enabling tools for thermodynamics experiments. Next we discuss the role of information in thermodynamics which leads to the concept of Maxwell's demon. Various Maxwell's demons realized in single-electron circuits over the past couple of years will be described. Currently true quantum thermodynamics in superconducting circuits is in focus of attention, and we end the review by discussing the ideas and first experiments in this exciting area of research.

description: Background: Rates of perinatal depression in low and middle income countries are reported to be very high. Perinatal depression not only has profound impact on women's health, disability and functioning, it is associated with poor child health outcomes such as pre-term birth, under-nutrition and stunting, which ultimately have an adverse trans-generational impact. There is strong evidence in the medical literature that perinatal depression can be effectively managed with psychological treatments delivered by non-specialists. Our previous research in Pakistan led to the development of a successful perinatal depression intervention, the Thinking Healthy Program (THP). The THP is a psychological treatment delivered by community health workers. The burden of perinatal depression can be reduced through scale-up of this proven intervention; however, training of health workers at scale is a major barrier. To enhance access to such interventions there is a need to look at technological solutions to training and supervision. Methods/design: This is a non-inferiority, single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Eighty community health workers called Lady Health Workers (LHWs) working in a post-conflict rural area in Pakistan (Swat) will be recruited through the LHW program. LHWs will be randomly allocated to Technology-assisted Cascade Training and Supervision (TACTS) or to specialist-delivered training (40 in each group). The TACTS group will receive training in THP through LHW supervisors using a tablet-based training package, whereas the comparison group will receive training directly from mental health specialists. Our hypothesis is that both groups will achieve equal competence. Primary outcome measure will be competence of health workers at delivering THP using a modified ENhancing Assessment of Common Therapeutic factors (ENACT) rating scale immediately post training and after 3 months of supervision. Independent assessors will be blinded to the LHW allocation status. Discussion: Women living in post-conflict areas are at higher risk of depression compared to the general population. Implementation of evidence-based interventions for depression in such situations is a challenge because health systems are weak and human resources are scarce. The key innovation to be tested in this trial is a Technology-assisted Cascade Training and Supervision system to assist scale-up of the THP.

description: Inspired by Conway's surreal numbers, we study real closed fields whose value group is isomorphic to the additive reduct of the field. We call such fields omega-fields and we prove that any omega-field of bounded Hahn series with real coefficients admits an exponential function making it into a model of the theory of the real exponential field. We also consider relative versions with more general coefficient fields.
