description: Do Protestant missionaries affect community cohesion? This study puts forth two mechanisms that link missionaries to trusting, cooperative community life: pro-social preferences and social networks. On the one hand, Protestant missionaries espouse charity, and they establish regular venues of social interaction. On the other hand, Protestant missionaries propagate an individualist faith, and they provide an identity along which communities may separate. The effect of Protestant missionaries on community cohesion is thus unclear. To make headway on these conflicting theoretical predictions, we study variation in missionary activity in southeastern Peru. We document that villages with Protestant missions show lower levels of community cohesion compared to non-missionized, Catholic villages. We point to weakened networks as the most likely causal channel and show that effect sizes are particularly large among Pentecostal missionaries.

description: Currently, there are limited data available about patients who are diagnosed with lung cancer following an emergency department (ED) visit. This study sought to define the demographics, symptoms profile, staging, and prognosis of this cohort of patients. We conducted a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with a primary lung malignancy at a lung cancer multidisciplinary meeting between January 2018 and January 2020. Medical records were reviewed to collect data around demographics, presenting symptoms, investigations, admission, cancer stage, and mortality. During the study period, 890 patients were diagnosed with a primary lung malignancy of which 209 (23.5%) presented to ED prompting diagnostic work-up. Of these 209 patients, 89% were hospitalized for a median duration of 6 days. Also, 104 (50%) were female and the average age of the cohort was 70 years. Dyspnea (38%) was the most common presenting symptom. Radiological staging and tissue biopsy were performed as an outpatient procedure in 46% and 41% of patients, respectively. A total of 188 patients had non-small cell lung cancer of whom 68% had ztage IV disease. A total of 53 (25%) patients died within 3 months of ED presentation. These patients were older with more advanced disease compared to patients who were alive at 3 months. Emergent diagnosed patients are a significant proportion of the lung cancer population, presenting with advanced stage disease and increased short-term mortality. Future research should be directed at interventions, such as lung cancer screening program and/or community education, to reduce the need for patients to present to the ED with disabling lung cancer symptoms.

description: Abstract Background Health services research of Latinos with limited English proficiency (LEP) have largely focused on studying disparities related to patient-provider communication. Less is known about their non-provider interactions such as those with patient registration systems and clinic front office staff; these interactions precede the encounter with providers and may shape how comfortable patients feel about their overall health services experience. This study explored Latino patients with LEP experiences with, and expectations for, interactions with patient registration systems and front office staff. Methods We conducted 20 in-depth interviews with Latinos with LEP (≥18 years of age) who seek health services in the Piedmont Triad region, North Carolina. We analyzed participants’ quotes and identified themes by using a constant comparison method. This research was conducted by a community-academic partnership; partners were engaged in study design, instrument development, recruitment, data analysis, and manuscript writing. Results Qualitative analysis allowed us to identify the following recurring themes: 1) inconsistent registration of multiple surnames may contribute to patient misidentification errors and delays in receiving health care; 2) lack of Spanish language services in front office medical settings negatively affect care coordination and satisfaction with health care; and 3) perceived discrimination generates patients’ mistrust in front office staff and discomfort with services. Conclusion Latino patients in North Carolina experience health services barriers unique to their LEP background. Participants identified ways in which the lack of cultural and linguistic competence of front office staff negatively affect their experiences seeking health services. Healthcare organizations need to support their staff to encourage patient-centered principles.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the availability and accessibility of outpatient care following hospital discharge. Hospitalists (physicians) and hospital medicine advanced practice providers (HM-APPs) coordinate discharge care of hospitalized patients; however, it is unknown if they can deliver post-discharge virtual care and overcome barriers to outpatient care. The objective was to develop and provide post-discharge virtual care for patients discharged from hospital medicine services. We developed the Post-discharge Early Assessment with Remote video Link (PEARL) initiative for HM-APPs to conduct a post-discharge video visit (to review recommendations) and telephone follow-up (to evaluate adherence) with patients 2–6 days following hospital discharge. Participants included patients discharged from hospital medicine services at an institution’s hospitals in Rochester (May 2020–August 2020) and Austin (November 2020–February 2021) in Minnesota, US. HM-APPs also interviewed patients about their experience with the video visit and completed a survey on their experience with PEARL. Of 386 eligible patients, 61.4% were enrolled (n = 237/386) including 48.1% women (n = 114/237). In patients with complete video visit and telephone follow-up (n = 141/237), most were prescribed new medications (83.7%) and took them as prescribed (93.2%). Among five classes of chronic medications, patient-reported adherence ranged from 59.2% (narcotics) to 91.5% (anti-hypertensives). Patient-reported self-management of 12 discharge recommendations ranged from 40% (smoking cessation) to 100% (checking rashes). Patients reported benefit from the video visit (agree: 77.3%) with an equivocal preference for video visits over clinic visits. Among HM-APPs who responded to the survey (88.2%; n = 15/17), 73.3% reported benefit from visual contact with patients but were uncertain if video visits would reduce emergency department visits. In this novel initiative, HM-APPs used video visits to provide care beyond their hospital role, reinforce discharge recommendations for patients, and reduce barriers to outpatient care. The effect of this initiative is under evaluation in a randomized controlled trial.

Classical limit of irregular blocks and Mathieu functions

description: The Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit of the N=2 SU(2) pure gauge (Omega-deformed) super Yang-Mills theory encodes the information about the spectrum of the Mathieu operator. On the other hand, the Mathieu equation emerges entirely within the frame of two-dimensional conformal field theory (2d CFT) as the classical limit of the null vector decoupling equation for some degenerate irregular block. Therefore, it seems to be possible to investigate the spectrum of the Mathieu operator employing the techniques of 2d CFT. To exploit this strategy, a full correspondence between the Mathieu equation and its realization within 2d CFT has to be established. In our previous paper [1], we have found that the expression of the Mathieu eigenvalue given in terms of the classical irregular block exactly coincides with the well known weak coupling expansion of this eigenvalue in the case in which the auxiliary parameter is the noninteger Floquet exponent. In the present work we verify that the formula for the corresponding eigenfunction obtained from the irregular block reproduces the so-called Mathieu exponent from which the noninteger order elliptic cosine and sine functions may be constructed. The derivation of the Mathieu equation within the formalism of 2d CFT is based on conjectures concerning the asymptotic behaviour of irregular blocks in the classical limit. A proof of these hypotheses is sketched. Finally, we speculate on how it could be possible to use the methods of 2d CFT in order to get from the irregular block the eigenvalues of the Mathieu operator in other regions of the coupling constant.

description: We consider the problem of grouping items into clusters based on few random pairwise comparisons between the items. We introduce three closely related algorithms for this task: a belief propagation algorithm approximating the Bayes optimal solution, and two spectral algorithms based on the non-backtracking and Bethe Hessian operators. For the case of two symmetric clusters, we conjecture that these algorithms are asymptotically optimal in that they detect the clusters as soon as it is information theoretically possible to do so. We substantiate this claim for one of the spectral approaches we introduce.

description: Abstract Background Recently, we determined that in a rigorously monitored environment an intensive diet-induced weight loss of 10% combined with exercise was significantly more effective at reducing pain in men and women with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) than either intervention alone. Compared to previous long-term weight loss and exercise trials of knee OA, our intensive diet-induced weight loss and exercise intervention was twice as effective at reducing pain intensity. Whether these results can be generalized to less intensively monitored cohorts is unknown. Thus, the policy relevant and clinically important question is: Can we adapt this successful solution to a pervasive public health problem in real-world clinical and community settings? This study aims to develop a systematic, practical, cost-effective diet-induced weight loss and exercise intervention implemented in community settings and to determine its effectiveness in reducing pain and improving other clinical outcomes in persons with knee OA. Methods/Design This is a Phase III, pragmatic, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Participants will include 820 ambulatory, community-dwelling, overweight and obese (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2) men and women aged ≥ 50 years who meet the American College of Rheumatology clinical criteria for knee OA. The primary aim is to determine whether a community-based 18-month diet-induced weight loss and exercise intervention based on social cognitive theory and implemented in three North Carolina counties with diverse residential (from urban to rural) and socioeconomic composition significantly decreases knee pain in overweight and obese adults with knee OA relative to a nutrition and health attention control group. Secondary aims will determine whether this intervention improves self-reported function, health-related quality of life, mobility, and is cost-effective. Discussion Many physicians who treat people with knee OA have no practical means to implement weight loss and exercise treatments as recommended by numerous OA treatment guidelines. This study will establish the effectiveness of a community program that will serve as a blueprint and exemplar for clinicians and public health officials in urban and rural communities to implement a diet-induced weight loss and exercise program designed to reduce knee pain and improve other clinical outcomes in overweight and obese adults with knee OA.

description: Traffic scene perception (TSP) aims to real-time extract accurate on-road environment information, which in- volves three phases: detection of objects of interest, recognition of detected objects, and tracking of objects in motion. Since recognition and tracking often rely on the results from detection, the ability to detect objects of interest effectively plays a crucial role in TSP. In this paper, we focus on three important classes of objects: traffic signs, cars, and cyclists. We propose to detect all the three important objects in a single learning based detection framework. The proposed framework consists of a dense feature extractor and detectors of three important classes. Once the dense features have been extracted, these features are shared with all detectors. The advantage of using one common framework is that the detection speed is much faster, since all dense features need only to be evaluated once in the testing phase. In contrast, most previous works have designed specific detectors using different features for each of these objects. To enhance the feature robustness to noises and image deformations, we introduce spatially pooled features as a part of aggregated channel features. In order to further improve the generalization performance, we propose an object subcategorization method as a means of capturing intra-class variation of objects. We experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed framework in three detection applications: traffic sign detection, car detection, and cyclist detection. The proposed framework achieves the competitive performance with state-of- the-art approaches on several benchmark datasets.

description: We consider a twin WIMP scenario whose twin sector contains a full dark copy of the SM hadrons, where the lightest twin particles are twin pions. By analogy to the standard WIMP paradigm, the dark matter (DM) freezes out through twin electroweak interactions, and annihilates into a dark shower of light twin hadrons. These are either stable or decay predominantly to standard model (SM) photons. We show that this 'hadrosymmetric' scenario can be consistent with all applicable astrophysical, cosmological and collider constraints. In order to decay the twin hadrons before the big-bang nucleosynthesis epoch, an additional portal between the SM and twin sector is required. In most cases we find this additional mediator is within reach of either the LHC or future intensity frontier experiments. Furthermore, we conduct simulations of the dark shower and consequent photon spectra. We find that fits of these spectra to the claimed galactic center gamma-ray excess seen by Fermi-LAT non-trivially coincide with regions of parameter space that both successfully generate the observed DM abundance and exhibit minimal fine-tuning.

description: Recent technological advances in the field of IoT have brought now opportunities to the environmental monitoring sector and particularly in its capacity to collect, curate and share environmental observations. Unfortunately the current lack of standardization adoption led to under-exploitation of data potential. The Institute of Earth Sciences (www.supsi.ch/ist), which in the last decade, under the mandate of the Canton Ticino (https://www4.ti.ch/dt) has managed different regional monitoring networks applying international standards from the OGC (SOS) is currently renewing the monitoring system to fully catch technological opportunities and to fill existing gaps. A shift from time-based system to event-based reactive and choreographed system is currently under development and deploy: the first implementations, issues and solutions are here presented. This presentation is therefore an overview of the current context and of a possible architecture to enable fully exploitation of big data in the cloud system to support early warning systems and the mitigation of climate change.

description: Abstract Pulmonary emphysema and bronchiectasis in HIV seropositive patients has been described in the presence of injection drug use, malnutrition, repeated opportunistic infections, such as Pneumocytis jirovici pneumonia and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, and has been linked to the presence of HIV virus in lung tissue. Given the high burden of pulmonary infections and malnutrition among people living with HIV in resource poor settings, these individuals may be at increased risk of developing pulmonary emphysema, potentially reducing the long term benefit of antiretroviral therapy (ART) if initiated late in the course of HIV infection. In this report, we describe three HIV-infected individuals (one woman and two children) presenting with extensive pulmonary cystic disease.

description: Clinical implications of readmission following initial hospitalization for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are not known. We examined predictors of readmissions and impact of readmissions on subsequent mortality after first-ever AIS. Adults aged ≥18 years who survived to discharge after hospitalization for first-ever AIS from 2003 to 2019 were included in the study. For each patient, the overall burden of hospitalizations was measured as total number of hospitalizations and aggregate days spent hospitalized during follow-up. We used Poisson regression to estimate incident rate ratios (IRR) for predictors of re-hospitalization and time-dependent Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios (HR) for mortality. Of 908 AIS survivors, 537 died, 669 had 2,645 readmissions over 4,535 person-years follow-up. Adjusted independent predictors of cumulative readmission inlcuded being white (IRR 1.21, 95% CI 1.03–1.42), dependency on discharge (IRR 1.27, 95% CI 1.17–1.38), cardio-embolism (IRR 1.35, 95% CI 1.18–1.45), smoking (IRR 1.21, 95% CI 1.08–1.35), anemia (IRR 1.40, 95% CI 1.24–1.57), arthritis (IRR 1.20, 95% CI 1.10–1.31), coronary artery disease (IRR 1.34, 95% CI 1.23–1.47), cancer (IRR 1.96, 95% CI 1.64–2.30), chronic kidney disease (IRR 1.36, 95% CI 1.21–1.57), COPD (IRR 1.18, 95% CI 1.04–1.34), depression (IRR 1.50, 95% CI 1.37–1.66), diabetes mellitus (IRR 1.48, 95% CI 1.36–1.48), and heart failure (IRR 1.17, 95% CI 1.03–1.34). Conversely, hyperlipidemia was associated with a lower risk of readmission (IRR 0.79, 95% CI 0.71–0.88). Mortality was significantly increased with each hospitalization and cumulative days spent in hospital. Among survivors of AIS hospitalization, certain sociodemographic indicators, stroke-specific features, and several key comorbid conditions were associated with increased risk of readmissions, which in turn correlated with increased mortality. Therefore, lifestyle modification and optimal treatment of comorbidities are likely to improve the outcome after AIS.
Extracting gene expression patterns and identifying co-expressed genes from microarray data reveals biologically responsive processes

description: Abstract Background A common observation in the analysis of gene expression data is that many genes display similarity in their expression patterns and therefore appear to be co-regulated. However, the variation associated with microarray data and the complexity of the experimental designs make the acquisition of co-expressed genes a challenge. We developed a novel method for Extracting microarray gene expression Patterns and Identifying co-expressed Genes, designated as EPIG. The approach utilizes the underlying structure of gene expression data to extract patterns and identify co-expressed genes that are responsive to experimental conditions. Results Through evaluation of the correlations among profiles, the magnitude of variation in gene expression profiles, and profile signal-to-noise ratio's, EPIG extracts a set of patterns representing co-expressed genes. The method is shown to work well with a simulated data set and microarray data obtained from time-series studies of dauer recovery and L1 starvation in C. elegans and after ultraviolet (UV) or ionizing radiation (IR)-induced DNA damage in diploid human fibroblasts. With the simulated data set, EPIG extracted the appropriate number of patterns which were more stable and homogeneous than the set of patterns that were determined using the CLICK or CAST clustering algorithms. However, CLICK performed better than EPIG and CAST with respect to the average correlation between clusters/patterns of the simulated data. With real biological data, EPIG extracted more dauer-specific patterns than CLICK. Furthermore, analysis of the IR/UV data revealed 18 unique patterns and 2661 genes out of approximately 17,000 that were identified as significantly expressed and categorized to the patterns by EPIG. The time-dependent patterns displayed similar and dissimilar responses between IR and UV treatments. Gene Ontology analysis applied to each pattern-related subset of co-expressed genes revealed underlying biological processes affected by IR- and/or UV- induced DNA damage. Conclusion EPIG competed with CLICK and performed better than CAST in extracting patterns from simulated data. EPIG extracted more biological informative patterns and co-expressed genes from both C. elegans and IR/UV-treated human fibroblasts. Using Gene Ontology analysis of the genes in the patterns extracted by EPIG, several key biological categories related to p53-dependent cell cycle control were revealed from the IR/UV data. Among them were mitotic cell cycle, DNA replication, DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoint, and G0-like status transition. EPIG can be applied to data sets from a variety of experimental designs.

description: Emerging adults transitioning from pediatric to adult care experience worse outcomes including increased mortality. Improved patient experience (PEX) correlates with decreased inpatient mortality and better adherence to quality guidelines. We aimed to evaluate trends in the PEX of inpatients aged 14–29 years in the United States (US). We performed a retrospective cohort study using a national, de-identified PEX survey obtained from hospitalized patients aged 14–29 years between 2017 and 2019. We described and compared survey responses across 10 domains. Composite mean scores for each health facility were converted to percentile rankings, which were then compared by age group to determine differences in percentile ranking (ΔPR). We evaluated the results of 174,174 PEX surveys across a national sample of 1519 US hospitals. The PEX percentile rankings for ages 18–21 were lower than ages 14–17 in almost every domain including experience with nurses (ΔPR = 43.4, p < 0.001), physicians (ΔPR = 31.1, p < 0.001), treatment (ΔPR = 12.3, p < 0.001), and overall experience (ΔPR = 26.5, p < 0.001). Similarly, 22–25-year-olds reported a worse PEX across nearly all domains when compared to 26–29-year-olds. In a national sample of PEX surveys, hospitalized emerging adults aged 18–25 reported worse PEX when compared to both older children and established adults. These lower ratings were most strongly attributed to people, processes, and relationships as opposed to differences in the hospital environment. By ages 26–29, PEX returned to levels similar to those reported by ages 14–17. These results suggest that further investigation to elucidate the unique needs of hospitalized emerging adults may be warranted.

description: Abstract Background Almost one in five contraceptive users in India uses a temporary method. It is important to understand user profiles and method use patterns for optimal program targeting. This analysis examines differences in demographic characteristics, discontinuation and use patterns of temporary method users among a representative sample of urban women from four cities in Uttar Pradesh, India. Methods Individual data from a panel of women aged 15–49 were collected in 2010 in Agra, Aligarh, Allahabad, and Gorakhpur and follow-up data from the same women were collected in 2012. A contraceptive calendar was used to collect month-by-month data on contraceptive use, non-use, discontinuation, reason for discontinuation, and pregnancy and birth, covering the approximately two-year period between the baseline and midterm surveys. The analysis sample is 4,023 non-sterilized women in union at baseline. A descriptive comparison is made of socio-demographic characteristics, fertility desires, discontinuation, method switching, and pregnancy outcomes. Reasons for discontinuation are assessed by the order of discontinuation. Results There were a number of socio-demographic differences between users of temporary methods during the calendar period; by education, wealth, and caste. Notably, women who used only condoms during this time had the most education, were the least likely to be poor, and the least likely to be from a scheduled caste or tribe as compared to users of other temporary methods. Compared to the full sample of women, users of temporary methods during this period were less likely to reside in slum areas. The group of multiple method users was small in comparison to the groups of women using a single method throughout the calendar period. This indicates that there was little method switching between condoms, traditional methods, and other forms of modern methods reported in the calendar. Conclusions The calendar may not be well-suited to measure coital-dependent contraceptive use (e.g., condoms and traditional methods), as "continuous" monthly use may be overstated. A coital episode-specific data collection tool may produce more accurate records of contraceptive use in such contexts. Research findings also lead to useful programmatic recommendations for addressing unmet need and unintended pregnancies in urban Uttar Pradesh and beyond.

Ethics down the AI supply chain: playing with power

description: Discussions of ethical issues in Artificial Intelligence have moved from the realm of science fiction and academic debate and into headlines and broad public discussion. Researchers, company leaders, and politicians have ideas about what “Ethical AI” should look like. However, too rarely do these ideas take into account the working realities of the engineers building these systems, to whom ethics work is often relegated. I conduct qualitative studies of an open source community building a deepfake tool; engineers working across disjointed AI supply chains; practitioners who develop and seek to raise ethical concerns about what they create; and teams discussing AI ethics in a game context. Based on this, my dissertation shows how organizational norms, incentives, and boundaries limit software creators’ sense of responsibility and agency over the downstream impact of what they create, and examines the possibilities and shortfalls of play as a way to expand these limits. I find that limited conceptions of and authority in their roles, limited visibility into downstream uses, time pressures, licensing constructs, and other reasons often mean engineers do not feel responsible for–or power to do–ethics work. I conclude by discussing how future tech ethics research, practice, education, and policy can better consider the sense of responsibility and power of those asked to do ethics work in technology.
