description: Over the past two decades, global surgery has evolved into a well-recognized surgical discipline. This has come about for several reasons beyond the moral imperative. With the emphasis in global health shifting from communicable to non-communicable diseases, global surgery is now uniquely positioned to expand and take its rightful place within global public health.

description: Strong interactions between single spins and photons are essential for quantum networks and distributed quantum computation. They provide the necessary interface for entanglement distribution, non-destructive quantum measurements, and strong photon-photon interactions. Achieving spin-photon interactions in a solid-state device could enable compact chip-integrated quantum circuits operating at gigahertz bandwidths. Many theoretical works have suggested using spins embedded in nanophotonic structures to attain this high-speed interface. These proposals exploit strong light-matter interactions to implement a quantum switch, where the spin flips the state of the photon and a photon flips the spin-state. However, such a switch has not yet been realized using a solid-state spin system. Here, we report an experimental realization of a spin-photon quantum switch using a single solid-state spin embedded in a nanophotonic cavity. We show that the spin-state strongly modulates the cavity reflection coefficient, which conditionally flips the polarization state of a reflected photon on picosecond timescales. We also demonstrate the complementary effect where a single photon reflected from the cavity coherently rotates the spin. These strong spin-photon interactions open up a promising direction for solid-state implementations of high-speed quantum networks and on-chip quantum information processors using nanophotonic devices.

description: Importance: In resource-limited settings, identification of successful and sustainable task-shifting interventions is important for improving care. Objective: To determine whether the training of lay people to take vital signs as trauma clerks is an effective and sustainable method to increase availability of vital signs in the initial evaluation of trauma patients. Design: We conducted a quasi-experimental study of patients presenting with traumatic injury pre- and post-intervention. Setting: The study was conducted at Kamuzu Central Hospital, a tertiary care referral hospital, in Lilongwe, Malawi. Participants: All adult (age ≥ 18 years) trauma patients presenting to emergency department over a six-month period from January to June prior to intervention (2011), immediately post-intervention (2012), 1 year post-intervention (2013) and 2 years post-intervention (2014). Intervention: Lay people were trained to take and record vital signs. Main outcomes and measures: The number of patients with recorded vital signs pre- and post-intervention and sustainability of the intervention as determined by time-series analysis. Results: Availability of vital signs on initial evaluation of trauma patients increased significantly post-intervention. The percentage of patients with at least one vital sign recorded increased from 23.5 to 92.1%, and the percentage of patients with all vital signs recorded increased from 4.1 to 91.4%. Availability of Glasgow Coma Scale also increased from 40.3 to 88.6%. Increased documentation of vital signs continued at 1 year and 2 years post-intervention. However, the percentage of documented vital signs did decrease slightly after the US-trained medical student and surgeon who trained the trauma clerks were no longer available in country, except for Glasgow Coma Scale. Patients who died during emergency department evaluation were significantly less likely to have vital signs recorded. Conclusions and relevance: The training of lay people to collect vital signs and Glasgow Coma Scale is an effective and sustainable method of task shifting in a resource-limited setting.

description: Introduction: To address the need for more surgical providers in low-resource settings, a collaboration to create a surgical residency-training program for local Malawian physicians was established in 2009. This study sought to describe the short-term independent effect of a surgical residency program on trauma mortality at a tertiary trauma center in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients recorded in the trauma surveillance registry of Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi, from 2009 (three residents) through 2014 (11 residents). Log-binominal regression modeling was used to compare the risk ratio of death compared to the referent year of 2009, when the program was started, after adjusting for relevant covariates. Primary injury type was used as a surrogate for injury severity. Results: In total, 82,534 patients were recorded into the KCH Trauma Registry during the study period. Mean age was 23.1 years (SD 15.7) with a male preponderance (72.1%). Trauma patient volume increased from 8725 patients in 2009 to 15,998 patients in 2014. Each year had a significantly decreased risk of death compared to 2009 when adjusted for primary injury type, age, and gender, with an adjusted risk ratio of 0.73 (95% CI 0.58, 0.90) in 2010 and 0.52 (95% CI 0.43, 0.62) in 2014. Conclusion: The global burden of surgical diseases cannot be attenuated in the presence of an inadequate surgical workforce. After institution of a surgery residency program, adjusted injury-associated mortality decreased each year despite substantial increases in trauma patient volume. In low-resource settings, establishment of a surgical residency program significantly improves trauma-associated outcomes.

description: For Gaussian sampling matrices, we provide bounds on the minimal number of measurements $m$ required to achieve robust weighted sparse recovery guarantees in terms of how well a given prior model for the sparsity support aligns with the true underlying support. Our main contribution is that for a sparse vector ${\bf x} \in \mathbb{R}^N$ supported on an unknown set $\mathcal{S} \subset \{1, \dots, N\}$ with $|\mathcal{S}|\leq k$, if $\mathcal{S}$ has \emph{weighted cardinality} $ω(\mathcal{S}) := \sum_{j \in \mathcal{S}} ω_j^2$, and if the weights on $\mathcal{S}^c$ exhibit mild growth, $ω_j^2 \geq γ\log(j/ω(\mathcal{S}))$ for $j\in\mathcal{S}^c$ and $γ> 0$, then the sample complexity for sparse recovery via weighted $\ell_1$-minimization using weights $ω_j$ is linear in the weighted sparsity level, and $m = \mathcal{O}(ω(\mathcal{S})/γ)$. This main result is a generalization of special cases including a) the standard sparse recovery setting where all weights $ω_j \equiv 1$, and $m = \mathcal{O}\left(k\log\left(N/k\right)\right)$; b) the setting where the support is known a priori, and $m = \mathcal{O}(k)$; and c) the setting of sparse recovery with prior information, and $m$ depends on how well the weights are aligned with the support set $\mathcal{S}$. We further extend the results in case c) to the setting of additive noise. Our results are {\em nonuniform} that is they apply for a fixed support, unknown a priori, and the weights on $\mathcal{S}$ do not all have to be smaller than the weights on $\mathcal{S}^c$ for our recovery results to hold.

description: For the spectral analysis of spectra of hot stars with a high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), advanced non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) model atmospheres are mandatory. These are strongly dependent on the reliability of the atomic data that are used for their calculation. Reliable Xe VI oscillator strengths are used to identify Xe lines in the ultraviolet spectrum of the DO-type white dwarf RE0503-289 and to determine its photospheric Xe abundance. We publish newly calculated oscillator strengths that are based on a recently measured Xe VI laboratory line spectrum. These strengths were used to consider their radiative and collisional bound-bound transitions in detail in our NLTE stellar-atmosphere models to analyze Xe VI lines exhibited in high-resolution and high S/N UV observations of RE0503-289. We identify three hitherto unknown Xe VI lines in the ultraviolet spectrum of RE0503-289 and confirm the previously measured photospheric Xe abundance of this white dwarf (log Xe = -4.2 +/- 0.6). Reliable measurements and calculations of atomic data are prerequisite for stellar-atmosphere modeling. Observed Xe VI line profiles in the ultraviolet spectrum of the white dwarf RE0503-289 were well reproduced with the newly calculated Xe VI oscillator strengths.

Test Generation and Dependency Analysis for Web Applications
Creators: name: BIAGIOLA, MATTEO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2020

description: In web application testing existing model based web test generators derive test paths from a navigation model of the web application, completed with either manually or randomly generated inputs. Test paths extraction and input generation are handled separately, ignoring the fact that generating inputs for test paths is difficult or even impossible if such paths are infeasible. In this thesis, we propose three directions to mitigate the path infeasibility problem. The first direction uses a search based approach defining novel set of genetic operators that support the joint generation of test inputs and feasible test paths. Results show that such search based approach can achieve higher level of model coverage than existing approaches. Secondly, we propose a novel web test generation algorithm that pre-selects the most promising candidate test cases based on their diversity from previously generated tests. Results of our empirical evaluation show that promoting diversity is beneficial not only to a thorough exploration of the web application behaviours, but also to the feasibility of automatically generated test cases. Moreover, the diversity based approach achieves higher coverage of the navigation model significantly faster than crawling based and search based approaches. The third approach we propose uses a web crawler as a test generator. As such, the generated tests are concrete, hence their navigations among the web application states are feasible by construction. However, the crawling trace cannot be easily turned into a minimal test suite that achieves the same coverage due to test dependencies. Indeed, test dependencies are undesirable in the context of regression testing, preventing the adoption of testing optimization techniques that assume tests to be independent. In this thesis, we propose the first approach to detect test dependencies in a given web test suite by leveraging the information available both in the web test code and on the client side of the web application. Results of our empirical validation show that our approach can effectively and efficiently detect test dependencies and it enables dependency aware formulations of test parallelization and test minimization.

Generative Models for Novelty Detection Applications in abnormal event and situational changedetection from data series

Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: Novelty detection is a process for distinguishing the observations that differ in some respect from the observations that the model is trained on. Novelty detection is one of the fundamental requirements of a good classification or identification system since sometimes the test data contains observations that were not known at the training time. In other words, the novelty class is often is not presented during the training phase or not well defined. In light of the above, one-class classifiers and generative methods can efficiently model such problems. However, due to the unavailability of data from the novelty class, training an end-to-end model is a challenging task itself. Therefore, detecting the Novel classes in unsupervised and semi-supervised settings is a crucial step in such tasks. In this thesis, we propose several methods to model the novelty detection problem in unsupervised and semi-supervised fashion. The proposed frameworks applied to different related applications of anomaly and outlier detection tasks. The results show the superior of our proposed methods in compare to the baselines and state-of-the-art methods.

description: The dusty, ionized gas cloud G2 is currently passing the massive black hole in the Galactic Center at a distance of roughly 2400 Schwarzschild radii. We explore the possibility of a starting point of the cloud within the disks of young stars. We make use of the large amount of new observations in order to put constraints on G2's origin. Interpreting the observations as a diffuse cloud of gas, we employ three-dimensional hydrodynamical adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) simulations with the PLUTO code and do a detailed comparison with observational data. The simulations presented in this work update our previously obtained results in multiple ways: (1) high resolution three-dimensional hydrodynamical AMR simulations are used, (2) the cloud follows the updated orbit based on the Brackett-$γ$ data, (3) a detailed comparison to the observed high-quality position-velocity diagrams and the evolution of the total Brackett-$γ$ luminosity is done. We concentrate on two unsolved problems of the diffuse cloud scenario: the unphysical formation epoch only shortly before the first detection and the too steep Brackett-$γ$ light curve obtained in simulations, whereas the observations indicate a constant Brackett-$γ$ luminosity between 2004 and 2013. For a given atmosphere and cloud mass, we find a consistent model that can explain both, the observed Brackett-$γ$ light curve and the position-velocity diagrams of all epochs. Assuming initial pressure equilibrium with the atmosphere, this can be reached for a starting date earlier than roughly 1900, which is close to apo-center and well within the disks of young stars.

description: Background Trauma accounts for 4.7 million deaths each year, with an estimated 90% of these occurring in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Approximately half of trauma-related deaths are caused by central nervous system injury. Because a thorough understanding of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in LMICs is essential to mitigate TBI-related mortality, we established a clinical and radiographic database to characterize TBI in our low-income setting. Methods This is a review of prospectively collected data from Kamuzu Central Hospital, a tertiary care center in the capital of Malawi. All patients admitted from October 2016 through May 2017 with a history of head trauma, altered consciousness, and/or radiographic evidence TBI were included. We performed descriptive statistics, a Cox regression analysis, and a survival analysis. Results There were 280 patients who met inclusion criteria; of these, 80.5% were men. The mean age was 28.8 ± 16.3 years. Median Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score was 12 (interquartile range, 8–15). Road traffic crashes constituted the most common injury mechanism (60.7%). There were 148 (52.3%) patients who received a computed tomography scan, with the most common findings being contusions (26.1%). Of the patients, 88 (33.0%) had severe TBI, defined as a GCS score ≤8, of whom 27.6% were intubated and 10.3% received tracheostomies. Overall mortality was 30.9%. Of patients who survived, 80.1% made a good recovery. Female sex was protective, and the only significant predictor of poor functional outcome was presence of severe TBI (hazard ratio, 2.98; 95% confidence interval, 1.79–4.95). Conclusions TBI represents a significant part of the global neurosurgical burden of disease. Implementation of proven in-hospital interventions for these patients is critical to attenuate TBI-related morbidity and mortality.

description: This article proposes a fundamental methodological shift in the modelling of policy interventions for sustainability transitions in order to account for complexity (e.g. self-reinforcing mechanism arising from multi-agent interactions) and agent heterogeneity (e.g. differences in consumer and investment behaviour). We first characterise the uncertainty faced by climate policy-makers and its implications for investment decision-makers. We then identify five shortcomings in the equilibrium and optimisation-based approaches most frequently used to inform sustainability policy: (i) their normative, optimisation-based nature, (ii) their unrealistic reliance on the full-rationality of agents, (iii) their inability to account for mutual influences among agents and capture related self-reinforcing (positive feedback) processes, (iv) their inability to represent multiple solutions and path-dependency, and (v) their inability to properly account for agent heterogeneity. The aim of this article is to introduce an alternative modelling approach based on complexity dynamics and agent heterogeneity, and explore its use in four key areas of sustainability policy, namely (1) technology adoption and diffusion, (2) macroeconomic impacts of low-carbon policies, (3) interactions between the socio-economic system and the natural environment, and (4) the anticipation of policy outcomes. The practical relevance of the proposed methodology is discussed by reference to four applications: the diffusion of transport technology, the impact of low-carbon investment on income and employment, the management of cascading uncertainties, and the cross-sectoral impact of biofuels policies. The article calls for a fundamental methodological shift aligning the modelling of the socio-economic system with that of the climatic system, for a combined and realistic understanding of the impact of sustainability policies.

description: Die MIKE-Studie hat das Mediennutzungsverhalten von in der Schweiz lebenden Kindern im Primarschulalter repräsentativ untersucht. MIKE steht für Medien, Interaktion, Kinder, Eltern. 
Zwischen Mitte September 2014 und Ende Januar 2015 wurden 1065 Kinder im Alter zwischen sechs und dreizehn Jahren und 641 Eltern in den drei grossen Sprachregionen der Schweiz befragt. Die Resultate zeigen, dass Medienerfahrungen für Kinder Teil ihres Alltags sind und die grosse Mehrheit in medial reich ausgestatteten Haushalten aufwächst: Handy/Smartphone, Computer/Laptop, Internetzugang und Fernsehgerät sind in fast allen Haushalten vorhanden. Trotz des grossen Angebots digitaler Medien ist Spielen die am häufigsten ausgeübte Freizeitaktivität. Auch Hausaufgaben gehören zum Alltag der Kinder. Die Tätigkeiten Freunde treffen, Sport machen und etwas mit der Familie unternehmen werden etwa gleich häufig ausgeübt wie die häufigsten Medientätigkeiten: Musik hören, Fernsehen und Bücher lesen. 
Im Laufe der Primarschule verändert sich das Mediennutzungsverhalten und insbesondere Internet und Handy werden von den älteren Kindern häufiger genutzt. Obwohl viele Kinder noch kein Handy besitzen oder auch keines regelmässig nutzen, rangiert das Handy auf Platz eins der liebsten Medien der Kinder. Sowohl mit Fernseh- wie auch mit Internet-Inhalten machen Kinder deutlich mehr positive als negative Erfahrungen. 
Die MIKE-Studie beleuchtet neben der Mediennutzung der Kinder zahlreiche Aspekte im Spannungsfeld Familie und Medien. Eltern und Kinder beeinflussen sich in ihrer Mediennutzung gegenseitig und nutzen oft die gleichen Medien ähnlich häufig, ausser Videogames. Am meisten Sorgen machen sich Eltern bezüglich gewalthaltigen und pornografischen Medieninhalten.
Neben den globalen Analysen des Medien- und Freizeitverhaltens von Eltern und Kindern werden folgende Gruppierungsmerkmale berücksichtigt: Alter, Geschlecht, Sprachregion, Migrationshintergrund, sozioökonomischer Status (SoS), Bildung der Eltern, Urbanitätsgrad und Familiengrösse. Die MIKE-Studie liefert wissenschaftlich verlässliche und repräsentative Daten für Behörden, Institutionen und Privatpersonen, die sich mit Kindern beschäftigen.
Social Media & Place Making

description: My research addresses the intersection of two concepts: urban transformation and place making. Firstly, concerning Urban transformation, there is the crisis of the city that has created vacant and underused spaces. These areas invite interventions from the local communities and bottom-up solutions to real, local and social problems. Secondly, regarding the relation between people and surroundings, I consider place making that is a process intrinsically connected with socio-spatial relations of a community. In my thesis digital transformation is the interpretation key of the two concepts, technologies, new media and the increased interaction between local actors. The aim of this project is to verify the role of internet technology and social media in the process of place making. As part of the study there will be an interrogation about the social media: how digital networks changed the relations of space with the general public?

description: Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The incidence of TBI in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is disproportionately high, with an associated increased risk of mortality from TBI relative to high-income countries. Although computed tomography is the diagnostic method of choice, this is often unavailable in LMICs. Exploratory burr holes may provide a suitable choice for diagnosis and treatment of TBI. Methods We performed a retrospective review of prospectively collected data at KCH, a tertiary care center in Lilongwe, Malawi. All trauma patients presenting between June 2012 and July 2015 with a deteriorating level of consciousness and localizing signs and who underwent exploratory burr holes were included. Additionally, we included all patients admitted with TBI, requiring higher-level care during 2011. No patients underwent exploratory burr hole during this time. We performed logistic regression to identify predictors of mortality in the total population of TBI patients. Results Among the 241 patients who presented to KCH with TBI requiring higher-level care, the total mortality was 16.4%. More than half (163, or 68%) underwent exploratory burr hole with a mortality of 6.8%. Mortality in patients who did not undergo exploratory burr hole was 43.9%. Upon adjusted logistic regression, not undergoing exploratory burr hole significantly increased the odds of mortality (odds ratio = 12.0, P = 0.000, 95% confidence interval = 4.48–31.9). Conclusion Exploratory burr holes remain an important diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for TBI in LMICs. Exploratory burr hole technique should be integrated into general surgery education to attenuate TBI-related mortality.

description: We consider solutions of the stochastic equation $R=_d\sum_{i=1}^NA_iR_i+B$, where $N>1$ is a fixed constant, $A_i$ are independent, identically distributed random variables and $R_i$ are independent copies of $R$, which are independent both from $A_i$'s and $B$. The hypotheses ensuring existence of solutions are well known. Moreover under a number of assumptions the main being $\mathbb{E}|A_1|^α=1/N$ and $\mathbb{E}|A_1|^α\log|A_1|>0$, the limit $\lim_{t\to\infty}t^α\mathbb{P}[|R|>t]=K$ exists. In the present paper, we prove positivity of $K$.

description: Die MIKE-Studie untersucht repräsentativ das Mediennutzungsverhalten von in der Schweiz lebenden Kindern im Primarschulalter. MIKE steht für Medien, Interaktion, Kinder, Eltern. Der vorliegende Bericht basiert auf der Erhebung aus dem Jahr 2017. Die erste MIKE-Studie wurde 2015 veröffentlicht. In den drei grossen Sprachregionen der Schweiz wurden 2017 insgesamt 1128 Kinder im Alter zwischen sechs und dreizehn Jahren befragt. Zusätzlich wurden die Antworten von 629 Elternteilen mit in die Analyse einbezogen.
Die Resultate der MIKE-Studie 2017 zeigen, dass die meisten Kinder in der Schweiz in medial reich ausgestalteten Haushalten aufwachsen und Medienerfahrungen ihren Alltag prägen. Handy, Internetzugang und Fernsehgerät sind in fast allen Haushalten vorhanden. Trotz des grossen Angebots digitaler Medien ist draussen oder drinnen Spielen die am liebsten ausgeübte Freizeitaktivität. Auch Hausaufgaben gehören zum Alltag der Kinder. Die Aktivitäten Freunde treffen, Sport machen und etwas mit der Familie unternehmen werden etwa gleich häufig ausgeübt wie die häufigsten Medientätigkeiten: Fernsehen, Musik hören und Bücher lesen. Im Laufe der Primarschule verändert sich das Mediennutzungsverhalten und insbesondere Internet und Handy werden von den älteren Kindern häufiger genutzt. Obwohl viele Kinder noch kein Handy besitzen oder auch keines regelmässig nutzen, rangiert das Handy auf Platz eins der beliebtesten Medien der Kinder. Sowohl mit Fernseh- wie auch mit Internetinhalten machen Kinder deutlich mehr positive als negative Erfahrungen. Die MIKE-Studie beleuchtet neben der Mediennutzung der Kinder auch zahlreiche Aspekte im Spannungsfeld von Familie und Medien. Eltern und Kinder beeinflussen sich in ihrer Mediennutzung gegenseitig und nutzen oft die gleichen Medien ähnlich häufig, ausser Videogames. Nachdem die MIKE-Studie 2015 die grössten Sorgen der Eltern zum Thema Mediennutzung erfasste, wurden 2017 die Chancen der Mediennutzung aus Elternsicht abgefragt: Als grösste Vorteile der Medien für ihre Kinder sehen Eltern darin, dass diese eine grosse, vielfältige, einfach zugängliche Informationsquelle darstellen, die die Bildung ihrer Kinder fördern kann.
Neben Analysen des Medien- und Freizeitverhaltens von Kindern und Eltern der Gesamtstichprobe wurden für folgende Merkmale weitere Auswertungen durchgeführt: Alter, Geschlecht, Sprachregion, Migrationshintergrund, sozioökonomischer Status, Urbanitätsgrad und Familiengrösse. Die MIKE-Studie liefert verlässliche und repräsentative Befunde für Behörden, Institutionen und Privatpersonen, die sich mit Kindern beschäftigen.
Event shape engineering for inclusive spectra and elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\rm{NN}}=2.76$ TeV

description: We report on results obtained with the Event Shape Engineering technique applied to Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\rm{NN}}=2.76$ TeV. By selecting events in the same centrality interval, but with very different average flow, different initial state conditions can be studied. We find the effect of the event-shape selection on the elliptic flow coefficient $v_2$ to be almost independent of transverse momentum $p_\rm{T}$, as expected if this effect is due to fluctuations in the initial geometry of the system. Charged hadron, pion, kaon, and proton transverse momentum distributions are found to be harder in events with higher-than-average elliptic flow, indicating an interplay between radial and elliptic flow.
