Health systems strengthening in low and middle income countries: UK partnerships at the systems level
Creators: name: Baxi, Ruchi
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2017

description: The overall aim of this report is to outline considerations and potential approaches for UK state sector organisations to systematically collaborate with low and middle income countries (LMICs) for health systems strengthening. The report is aimed at all of those with an interest in international technical collaborations for health systems strengthening.  The Department for International Development is developing a framework for health systems strengthening. More work is needed to assess which approach is best placed to respond to demand, and indeed more than one may be appropriate, or a combination of approaches. This needs to be based on an empirical assessment of the nature of demand from low and middle income countries for collaboration. Realisation of ambitions for increased and more sustained technical collaboration will require concerted political commitment and action at the highest level, across government, and a more coherent approach by the UK to development issues in middle income countries. What is clear is that there are individuals in the UK health system with a lot of enthusiasm, commitment, thinking and will to move this forward.

description: Antiferromagnetic spintronics has long been a subject of intense research interest, and the recent introduction of altermagnetism has further ignited enthusiasm in the field. However, fully-compensated ferrimagnetism, which exhibits band spin splitting but zero net magnetization, has yet to receive enough attention. Since the experimental preparation of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic van der Waals (vdW) materials in 2017, 2D magnetic materials, thanks to their super tunability, have quickly become an important playground for spintronics. Here, we extend the concept of fully-compensated ferrimagnetism (fFIM) to two dimensions and propose 2D \textit{filling-enforced} fFIM, demonstrate its stability and ease of manipulation, and present three feasible realization schemes with respective exemplary candidate materials. A simple model for 2D fully-compensated ferrimagnets (fFIMs) is developed. Further investigation of 2D fFIMs' physical properties reveals that they not only exhibit significant magneto-optical response but also show fully spin-polarized currents and the anomalous Hall effect in the half-metallic states, displaying characteristics previously almost exclusive to ferromagnetic materials, greatly broadening the research and application prospects of spintronic materials.

description: With the latest increase in security threats from hostile civil or military UAVs, the need for suitable detection and defense systems is steadily growing. Even small commercial off-the-shelve drones pose a potential security risk when used as a means of attack and can hardly be countered with existing sensor technology. In the development of multi-sensor solutions, the acoustic domain has emerged as a valuable but still underestimated element. Typically, existing acoustic systems focus primarily on the stationary operation and detection or localization of a single drone. However, robust tracking is only achieved if detection and localization components are combined in order to associate a drone sound detection with the respective sound source(s). In this work, we present the development and experimental results of a mobile microphone array system that is able to detect and track multiple drones based on the direction of sound incidence. First, we describe the design and hardware implementation of a semi-spherical array of 32 microphones. Based on our previous work, we then elaborate ways to improve our track-before-detect approach for joint estimation of UAV sound presence and incidence. Finally, we evaluate our proposed system on a dataset acquired in the course of several measurement campaigns for a stationary as well as for a mobile scenario, where the microphone array was mounted on the roof of a vehicle.

A general theory of the standard model and the revelation of the dark side of the universe

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: A general theory of the Standard Model (GSM) is presented in a spin-related gravigauge spacetime, grounded on conformal inhomogeneous spin gauge symmetry WS$_c$(1,3)=SP(1,3)$\rtimes$W$^{1,3}$$\rtimes$SP$_c$(1,1) and scaling gauge symmetry SG(1), along with symmetry U$_Y$(1)$\times$SU$_L$(2)$\times$SU(3)$_c$ in the standard model. It introduces new interactions: spin, chirality boost-spin, chiral conformal-spin, and scaling gauge forces. A gravitization equation is obtained to describe the gravitational effects emerging from the non-commutative derivative operator in gravigauge spacetime. In the framework of gravitational quantum field theory(GQFT), the gravitational force is mediated by the gravigauge field, identified as the massless graviton. Both gauge-type and geometric-type gravitational equations are derived to describe gravidynamics beyond general relativity. A massive chirality boost-spin gauge boson, termed the dark graviton, acts as a dark matter candidate, interacting with leptons and quarks via a spin gauge boson. A fundamental scalar field serves as a source of primordial energy and dark energy, driving the early inflation and current accelerated expansion of the universe.

description: Previous studies have suggested that elevated urate levels may increase the risk of asthma; however, the nature of this association remains debated. To clarify this uncertainty, we conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the potential causal relationship. Summary statistics for urate were sourced from the Global Urate Genetics Consortium (GUGC), and those for asthma were obtained from the FinnGen database. Genetic variants strongly associated with urate were selected as instrumental variables (IVs). Univariable and multivariable MR analyses were conducted to investigate the causal relationship between urate and asthma. Subsequently, network MR analyses were performed to reveal the mediating role of urate in the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and asthma. The univariable MR analysis showed that urate was associated with an increased risk of asthma (IVW OR = 1.13, 95%CI = 1.04–1.23, p = 0.004). This causal relationship remained consistent in multivariable MR analyses, even after adjusting for potential confounders, including smoking initiation, cigarettes per day, alcohol intake frequency, BMI, allergic rhinitis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Furthermore, network MR analyses demonstrated that the proportion of causal effect between BMI and asthma mediated by urate was 18.05% (95%CI = 6.23%–29.88%). Our study confirms that serum urate is associated with an increased risk of asthma, suggesting its potential as a target for both prevention and treatment. Additionally, our findings indicate that urate partially mediates the relationship between BMI and asthma, emphasizing its role in the mechanism underlying BMI-induced asthma.

description: New aircraft mobility concepts feature the operation of drones close to locations where humans reside. Main applications currently include photography and video recording and hobbyists operating drones, but observation, inspection and package delivery are expected to become important future applications using drones. Residents close to operations of drones, will therefore be impacted by the increase of the sound events of these vehicles, either by larger drones and thus higher sound levels, or by the increased number of movements, or by both. Since the characteristics of drone sounds are different from other air vehicles, such as helicopters or airplanes, annoyance response is also expected to be different, even at similar loudness levels, as seen in recent studies where drones were considered more annoying than helicopters. Human perception studies with simulations of single event flyover sounds of drones and other vehicles provide insight into a human’s reaction to these vehicles. A new perception study using both visual and auditory stimuli has been performed with similar peak sound levels for flyover events of different vehicles. The results of this study show that both aircraft and drones are rated louder in rural environments than in urban environments. Also, aircraft flyovers are considered more annoying than drone flyovers. No significant difference has been found between drones and helicopter flyovers. But with same peak sound level, drones are perceived significantly louder than Pipistrel Electro aircraft. Some of these results differ from earlier findings, possibly because of other sound characteristics, operational procedures, or different background environments.

description: Quantum discord, a key indicator of non-classical correlations in bipartite systems, has been recently extended to multipartite scenarios [Phys. Rev. Lett. 2020, 124:110401]. We present exact analytic formulas for the quantum discord of special families of N-qubit states, including generalized class of GHZ states. Our formulations span $2$, $3$, $4n$, $4n+1$, $4n+2$, and $4n+3$-qubit configurations where $n\in 1, 2, \ldots$, which refine the assessment of quantum correlations and provide an analytical tool in quantum computation. Moreover, we uncover a ``discord freezing'' in even-qubit systems under phase flip decoherence which provides a means for preserving quantum coherence in environmental perturbations.

description: The potential causal relationship between asthma and brain structures remains uncertain. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization to investigate the causal effects of various asthma phenotypes – unspecified asthma, moderate-to-severe asthma, childhood-onset asthma, and adult-onset asthma (AOA) – on cerebral cortex structure. We utilized phenotype data derived from genome-wide association studies (GWASs). The ENIGMA Consortium GWAS provided outcome variables for surface area (SA) and thickness across the whole brain and 34 region-specific areas of the cerebral cortex. Using the inverse variance-weighted method as our primary estimation approach, we employed several techniques, including Cochran’s Q statistic, the MR-PRESSO global test, MR-Egger, and weighted median, to assess heterogeneity and pleiotropy, thereby ensuring the robustness of our findings. Additionally, we conducted enrichment analyses of gene sets with causal effects on cortical structure and applied bioinformatics techniques to construct interaction networks and identify hub nodes. At the global level, AOA was associated with a significant reduction in full cortical SA (β = −58.49 mm2, p = 0.017). In regional analyses, moderate-to-severe asthma exhibited a more pronounced impact on the cerebral cortex compared to other phenotypes. Enrichment analysis revealed that pathways implicated in brain morphology among asthma patients were primarily linked to immune and inflammation-driven pathways. Our findings provide new evidence supporting a causal relationship between asthma and alterations in cortical structure, offering potential explanations for cognitive and psychiatric impairments observed in individual post-asthma.
title: The Orpheus complex: Understanding cinema through Maurice Blanchot
Creators: name: Blanksma, Amber
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation conceptualises the Orpheus complex as a way to understand the nature of the cinematic image and the pleasure of spectatorship. It uncovers the potential of Blanchot’s philosophy of literature to elucidate cinema, taking his exegesis of the myth of Orpheus as its point of departure. Blanchot’s philosophy of literature and his deconstruction of narcissism were unpacked to elucidate his notion of the Orphic gaze. This was, then, put into dialogue with two differing theories of the gaze in cinema, namely Mulvey’s theory of an identificatory male gaze and Derrida’s theory of the visor effect. This revealed that a misidentification lies at the heart of the theory of specular recognition, in cinema, and that a sense of haunting permeates the cinematic experience. This notion was then applied to the case study, Paris, Texas (1984), which contemplates identity and loss, through a storyline resembling the orphic myth. This offered a new way of understanding the film as a symptom and rumination on the Orpheus complex. Moreover, the film was shown to be a self-reflexive study of the cinematic image, which opened up for a consideration of the Orpheus complex within the cinematic image, at large. This led to the conclusion that spectatorship is characterised by a dissociated gaze and the desire to look at images is reflective of a compulsion toward fascination, which come together to form the Orpheus complex.

description: Asthma exacerbations are often triggered by factors such as respiratory infections, allergens, exercise, and airway irritants, significantly affecting patients’ respiratory symptoms and quality of life. Effective management of triggers is crucial in severe asthma care. Tezepelumab, an anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) monoclonal antibody, can effectively reduce severe asthma exacerbations and symptoms burden. However, its impact on patients’ perception of trigger-related symptoms remains underexplored. We conducted an observational, multicenter study involving 30 severe asthma patients starting tezepelumab 210 mg every 4 wk. Asthma triggers were assessed with the Asthma Triggers Inventory (ATI), while respiratory symptoms and HRQoL were evaluated using the Asthma Control Test (ACT), Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), and Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ). Data were collected at baseline (T0) and after 3 months of treatment (T3). At T3, patients demonstrated a significant reduction in the impact of asthma triggers as well as improvements in the perception of triggers effects on HRQoL. Specific improvements were observed in the "air pollution/irritants" and "infection" domains of the ATI. Correlation analysis revealed a significant association between ATI and AQLQ changes over time. Tezepelumab positively impacts patients’ perception of asthma triggers and their HRQoL, supporting its role in managing triggers hypersensitivity as a treatable trait in severe asthma. Further research is warranted to investigate underlying mechanisms and long-term effects.

description: The complexation of urea (U) with mercury(II) and nickle(II) ions at room temperatures and 60 oC has been studied by many methods namely elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurements, infrared and  thermal analysis (TG/DTG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and x-ray powder diffraction (XRD).The physical and spectral data were well explained in terms of the formation of HgCl2.4U.2H2O (1) and Ni(NO3)2.2U.2H2O (2) at room temperature, on one hand, and HgCl2.2U.2H2O (3) and Ni(NO3)2.2U.H2O (4) at 60 oC , on the other hand. On the basis of the infrared spectral data and the values of stretching vibrational bands of both –C=O and –NH2 groups, the complexation of metal ions toward urea was distinguished. The enhancement of the microbial treatments against bacteria (Escherichia Coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungi (Aspergillus Flavus and Candida Albicans) was assessed  and  a  remarkable  efficiency was  recorded for complexes (1) and (2).

description: The present study investigates the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic effects of the fountain switching flow phenomenon for small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) side-by-side rotor configurations in proximity to the ground. Scale-resolving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are conducted using the Lattice-Boltzmann/Very-Large-Eddy-Simulation (LBM/VLES) method to calculate the unsteady flow generated by the same configuration used in previous experimental studies. The simulations involve two APC 6×4 propellers positioned at one diameter height above the ground, with one diameter tip-to-tip clearance. The rotors operate at the same rotational speed in a counter-rotating manner. The simulated flow field reveals the deflection and radial expansion of the wake due to the presence of the ground, as well as the formation of an upward fountain-like flow between the rotors. Consistently with experimental observations, the fountain flow exhibits a bi-stable behavior characterized by a reciprocal movement between the rotors and subsequent re-ingestion by the rotor disks, occurring at a frequency that is two orders of magnitude lower than the rotor blade passing frequency (BPF). Furthermore, in order to highlight the aeroacoustic effects due to the rotor interaction, the noise spectra computed at several microphone locations are compared to those generated from an isolated rotor operating under identical conditions. The results indicate a significant increase in unsteady tonal noise and broadband noise components due to the flow re-ingestion effect.

description: Efficiently estimating the quantum Fisher information (QFI) is pivotal in quantum information science but remains an outstanding challenge for large systems due to its high nonlinearity. In this Letter, we tackle this long-standing challenge by integrating the Krylov subspace method--a celebrated tool from applied mathematics--into the framework of shadow tomography. The integrated technique, dubbed Krylov shadow tomography (KST), enables us to formulate a strict hierarchy of non-polynomial lower bounds on the QFI, among which the highest one matches the QFI exactly. We show that all the bounds can be expressed as expected values of the inverses of Hankel matrices, which are accessible via shadow tomography. Our KST therefore opens up a resource-efficient and experimentally feasible avenue to estimate not only non-polynomial lower bounds but also the QFI itself.

description: Endolymphatic hydrops (ELH) can be identified by electrophysiological and radiological examinations. We aimed to investigate the relationship between audiometric glycerol test and delayed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the inner ear after intratympanic gadolinium in patients with unilateral Ménière’s disease (MD). Forty-two patients with unilateral definite MD underwent audiometric glycerol test and delayed MRI following intratympanic gadolinium application. The degree of cochlear ELH was moderately positively correlated with the mean hearing threshold below 2 kHz. For those ears with positive glycerol results, the best hearing threshold was measured at 3 h and the maximal improvement of hearing threshold was observed within the third hour. The overall positive rates of glycerol test did not differ between ELH (+) and ELH (–) subgroups based on the MRI findings. Significant temporal changes in the positive rate were only observed in the ELH (+) subgroup. The rebound rate did not change significantly over time in either subgroup. In MD patients, glycerol-induced dynamic shift of hearing threshold may be modified by the hydropic status of the inner ear. For those without radiological ELH, glycerol test could be used as additional diagnostic tool to detect hydrops.

description: This paper represents synthesis of a new family of a fluoride-free Fe-Biotite type compound having the general formula NaFe2.5(Al,Si)4O10 (OH)2. It was prepared carefully by using solid- state reaction technique with nominal compositions of individual oxides in the main formula for the potential remediation of heavy metals and some radioactive elements from applying solution. The structural and micro-structural properties were determined using both XRD, SEM and IR techniques. The particle size estimated was 56 nm. Further electron spin resonance (ESR) proved that Fe-biotite is paramagnetic in nature, electrical conductivity was measured as a function of absolute temperature, while the thermal stability of the samples were studied using thermogravimetry (TG). Analytical applications were done by using (AAS). Investigations proved that synthetic fluoride-free Fe-biotite has medium of strong efficiency as cation selective clay towards metals under test

description: Given the increasing global emphasis on sustainable energy usage and the rising energy demands of cellular wireless networks, this work seeks an optimal short-term, continuous-time power procurement schedule to minimize operating expenditure and the carbon footprint of cellular wireless networks equipped with energy storage capacity, and hybrid energy systems comprising uncertain renewable energy sources. Despite the stochastic nature of wireless fading channels, the network operator must ensure a certain quality-of-service (QoS) constraint with high probability. This probabilistic constraint prevents using the dynamic programming principle to solve the stochastic optimal control problem. This work introduces a novel time-continuous Lagrangian relaxation approach tailored for real-time, near-optimal energy procurement in cellular networks, overcoming tractability problems associated with the probabilistic QoS constraint. The numerical solution procedure includes an efficient upwind finite-difference solver for the Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman equation corresponding to the relaxed problem, and an effective combination of the limited memory bundle method (LMBM) for handling nonsmooth optimization and the stochastic subgradient method (SSM) to navigate the stochasticity of the dual problem. Numerical results, based on the German power system and daily cellular traffic data, demonstrate the computational efficiency of the proposed numerical approach, providing a near-optimal policy in a practical timeframe.

A conflicting observation, which termed anti-Kibble-Zurek dynamics has been reported in several studies, specifically in the driven systems with an uncorrelated stochastic (white) noise. Here, we study the defect generation in the driven transverse field/anisotropy quantum $XY$ model in the presence of a correlated (colored) Gaussian noise. We propose a generic conjecture that properly capture the noise-induced excitation features, which shows good agreement with the numerical simulations. We show that, the dynamical features of defect density are modified by varying the noise correlation time. Our numerical simulations confirm that, for fast noises, the dynamics of the defect density is the same as that of the uncorrelated (white) noise, as is expected. However, the larger ratio of noise correlation time to the annealing time results in larger defects density formation and reforms the universal dynamical features. Our finding reveals that, the noise-induced defects scale linearly with the annealing time for fast noises, while in the presence of the slow noises, the noise-induced defects scale linearly with the square of the annealing time. The numerical simulations confirm that, the optimal annealing time, at which the defects density is minimum, scales linearly in logarithmic scale with the total noise power having different exponents for the fast and slow noises.

description: This brief addendum extends the foundational claims made in "Foundations of Signal Field Physics: A Unified Framework for Emergent Reality" (Asher & Asher, 2025), offering a direct clarification of the ontological nature of flat-space matter. We propose that what is conventionally understood as physical matter is, in fact, a phase artifact resulting from constructive interference between recursive resonance fields. This recognition supports and deepens the recursive geometric basis for all observable phenomena in flat space.

description: The field of energy-free sensing and context recognition has recently gained significant attention as it allows operating systems without external power sources. Photovoltaic cells can convert light energy into electrical energy to power sensing devices, but their power may not be sufficient to ensure energy-free sensing due to the varying power needs of sensors and high computational demands. In this paper, we propose the use of photovoltaic cells as a standalone sensor for the recognition of different contexts, including user identification, step counting, and location tracking. The system utilizes the photocurrent readings generated by the photovoltaic cells to capture the unique mobility patterns of different users. By analyzing these patterns, the system can accurately identify the user, count the number of steps taken, and track the user's location. We propose a computationally efficient DTW to match the variable length sequences of photocurrent readings to a database of known patterns and identify the closest subject and location matches. The system was rigorously evaluated in a realistic environment, and the results indicate that it can accurately estimate step count, identify subjects, and localize them with an accuracy of 88%, 90%, and 43cm, respectively. This is achieved while the proposed system is non-intrusive and can operate without external power sources, making it a promising technology for energy-free sensing and context recognition.

description: Motion sickness (MS) and visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) are vestibular system-related conditions affecting balance. To investigate the role of vestibular function and susceptibility in MS/VIMS in healthy college students and to evaluate the effectiveness of various vestibular function tests in detecting these disorders. Five hundred young adults, grouped by motion sickness susceptibility questionnaire-short (MSSQ-S) and visually induced motion sickness susceptibility questionnaire-short (VIMSSQ-S) questionnaires, were further analyzed via continuous linear regression to validate the grouping strategy. The participants completed a caloric test (CT), video head impulse test (vHIT), dynamic visual acuity (DVA), subjective visual vertical/horizontal (SVV/SVH), and sensory organisation tests (SOT). Analysis of the relationship between the results of the five tests and the MS/VIMS. CT revealed significant differences in right cold slow-phase velocity (RC SPV) and left cold slow-phase velocity (LC SPV) among groups (p < 0.001), with strong correlations between these values and MS/VIMS susceptibility (p < 0.05). Among 52 subjects with abnormal CT results, significant differences were found in vHIT, DVA, and SOT (p < 0.001), while SVV/SVH showed a significant difference only in MSSQ-S scores (p = 0.034). This study comprehensively assessed vestibular function in MS and VIMS susceptible individuals, confirming increased sensitivity and highlighting the need for targeted evaluation strategies

description: Submandibular space schwannomas (SSS) are rare tumors originating from the neural sheath in the submandibular region with varied prognoses The primary objective was to evaluate the current diagnostic and management outcomes of SSS. PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, and Web of Science were reviewed for articles from inception through January 2025. Fisher’s test was used to calculate the difference in outcomes between extraglandular (EG) and intraglandular (IG) subtypes. A total of 44 studies with 47 patients were included with a mean age (SD) of 42.8 (19.3) years. Hypoglossal nerve (43.3%) and lingual nerve (36.6%) were the primary nerve of origin for SSS, with significantly higher rates of hypoglossal nerve origin in EG-SSS than IG-SSS (p = .008). Sensitivity analysis of preoperative biopsy showed higher sensitivity rates with core biopsy compared to fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) (85.7% vs. 38.7%) in SSS diagnosis. IG schwannomas are more likely to undergo submandibular gland excision (p = .002) than EG schwannoma. Core biopsy demonstrated superior sensitivity compared to FNAC, establishing it as the preferred diagnostic tool. The hypoglossal nerve was the most identified nerve of origin. This review offers a comprehensive insight into the preoperative and perioperative management of SSS subtypes for surgeon decisions.

description: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with multirotor propulsion and control, commonly referred to as drones, generate a complex acoustic field that is not entirely understood. Many components and their interactions contribute to the overall noise level and behavior of the acoustic field. A UAV test stand configured to emulate a small quadcopter was used to determine the acoustic response of a multicopter. Microflown Technologies Scan & Paint 3D solution was utilized to obtain sound pressure, particle velocity, and sound intensity measurements close to the source, along with propagation planes for three-dimensional visualizations containing both amplitude and direction. Draw-away measurements using a PU probe were also completed to analyze the sound field characteristics further from the source. The number of propellers in operation was varied to determine the impact of adding additional sources. Aeroacoustic sources, near and far field behavior, interaction noise, directivity, and sound field propagation are discussed.

description: Focus Group 1.5 reflections on fit-for-region carbon farming approaches addresses the local agri-food systems knowledge through regional examples and lessons learned. This report consolidates insights from various regions, building upon the M39 Expert Group findings published in January 2024, and draws from expert insights gathered during FG 1.5 meetings on September 9, 2024, and January 15, 2025, supplemented by desk research. The 1st European Carbon Farming Summit emphasized that EU climate actions should promote holistic sustainability transitions in sectors impacted by climate policies and the framework for land-based carbon removals. It advocates for defining agricultural and forestry practices within the context of biodiversity benefits and comprehensive sustainability criteria, while also addressing economic and social sustainability as well as food security. Therefore, carbon sequestration methods must be practical and beneficial for farmers, especially when considering transitions in land use or cropping systems in peatlands and organic soils. Given the distinct development of agricultural practices across various regions, it is essential to recognize specific regional characteristics and opportunities in sustainable transformations. This approach utilizes insights from operational projects, regional authorities, and stakeholder discussions to adopt a bottom-up perspective, complementing policy-oriented approaches and incorporating lessons learned on measures, trade-offs, and farmer perspectives.
